Oh? Another "nuance", eh?Umm, you quoted it and so did the OP.
"She added that "even 'cool,' the term 'cool,' could in some ways be deemed racial"
Now, those questions I asked, would you mind answering them so that I can better understand what you want to say?
Do you understand the difference between racial and racist? Heres a hint, they dont mean the same thing. So again, who is saying calling him cool is racist? The straw man?
So, what exactly IS the difference between racial comments and racist comments about the POTUS?
And, let's assume there is a difference, let's have a new set of questions for you:
Is racial to wonder if someone has an intellect?
Is it racial to wonder if someone attended an Ivy League?
Is it racial to wonder if someone is educated enough?
Is it racial to wonder if someone is too educated?
Is it racial to wonder if someone is Christian enough?
Is it racial to wonder if someone is too Christian?
Is it racial to call someone cool?
Is it racial to wonder if someone is cool enough?
Is it racial to think that Bush is more cool than Obama?
Is it racial to like the music from Superfly and/or Shaft?
Uh yeah, you cant go around saying things that arent true.
The answer to those questions is it depends on the context. If you saw someone with a turban on and wondered if they are an American, its racial unless you look at all people that way.
So, no one said calling Obama is racist then why did you and the OP say someone did?
