Do you think bush is racist?

I think he's both racist and homophobic. This is becoming a Dictatorship with Bush instead of a Democracy.

I personally am not racist, I'm a very open-minded individual. I know a lot of people are going to take your question the wrong way, but I see it as just a question and a desire to know and understand. There are some who sadly are racist here, but there are those who aren't, but you can't classify all Americans as being racist.  It depends on the person, not the country, no matter where you live.

People may not agree with the President...but hatred from the rest of the world has been aimed at us for generations.  I've seen this guys questions....and he does need to grow up.

i was totally blown away!\ni saw a preview with an exclusive interview with him on the letterman show tonite and he "claims hes not racist."\n\nwhich is a huge pile of bull.\n\nhes a comedian and im sure hes taken criticism before, if he couldnt take someone telling him he wasnt funny then he shouldnt have become a comedian. hes an ignorant, washed up, stupid a s s man and he'll get what he deserves!

I don't agree with Bush and his actions, but being from Texas, I think he is just being himself. You can hate Bush for many reasons, but surely you can't hate him for being himself.

well racist is racist, but there are certain degrees and differences between racist ppl. i mean u got nazis, rednecks and u got small 11 year old who lives in the burbs and watches rap videos and thinks black ppl are gangsters.\n\nsome people are either mature enough or arent THAT racist enough so that thier prejudices dont get in their way.\n\nthis is a tricky open ended question with no simple yes or no answer, at least in my opinion.

I believe that Bush has done and continues to do more damage to this country than any other president in the history of the United States.  He managed to turn unprecedented international support into unprecedented international disdain.  He has invaded a sovereign nation for no apparent reason, overextending the military and diverting resources form the legitimate military campaign (the one aimed at actually finding the people who attacked us).  He sent military forces into Iraq with no viable exit plan (which was obvious to many of us from the start and has since become obvious to most).  He has turned an record fiscal surplus into a record fiscal deficit.  He has trampled, and continues to trample, on the bill of rights.  He has forced congress to approve the appointments of radically conservative judges, who will continue to errode our civil rights for years to come.  He has spent billions of dollars on an unnecessary war while schools accross the country are discontinuing art, PE, music, even science and history classes due to lack of funding; entire schools are closing resulting in larger class sizes; special ed programs are being closing.\n\nOK guys, I don't think the asker meant he *literally* wanted to replace Bush with Nixon, but rather that Nixon did less damage as president than Bush is doing.  I expect he knows he's dead...  Although, I must agree that a dead Nixon would be better than Bush in that at least he couldn't actively harm or nation.  For that matter a grapefruit would make a better president than Bush.\n\n_____________\n>>>Do any of you liberals have an original thought in your head \n>>>that DIDN'T come from moveon.org or Micheal Moore?\n\nFrom what I can tell the ONLY thoughts in your head are "Bush good" and "liberals bad."  My political opinions are based on my personal morals, my own observations, and my interpretation of what I read in the news.  Yours appear to be based on a misguided believe that anyone who did not vote for Bush is a terrorist.  Perhaps there is a reason you feel the need to attack anyone who questions your idiomatic ideology?\n\n___________\n>>>There was a very good reason - Iraq lost a war in 1991 and \n>>>didn't submit to UN inspections for WMD. Even Clinton was \n>>>ready to invade in 1998, where was your outrage then?\n\nYou may note that Clinton did NOT invade in 1998.  If he had, I probably would have been outraged, although as he DIDN'T I can't comment on the exact circumstances that would have surrounded this decision.  You may also note that old Bush chose to withdraw from Iraq rather than overthrow Saddam.  Again, there's a reason.  Besides which, failing to submit to UN inspections may or may not be cause for UN action, but it is not a justification for unilateral US action.  Even Bush has stopped talking about UN inspections and WMDs.\n\nAlso note that this is only ONE of the many atrocious policy decisions for which Bush is responsible.  Apparently you can find no argument with the rest of them.\n\n____________\n>>>No you wouldn't have\n\nYou have no basis on which to determine what I would and would not do.  I would not and do not support the unprovoked invasion of a sovereign nation no matter who happens to be president.  And the fact remains that CLINTON DIDN'T DO IT.\n\n>>>AND SEVERAL OTHER NATIONS\n\nOh, sorry, I forgot Poland.  Seriously, though, we had the UK on our side, and a couple of tiny countries who are dependent upon our financial support, but that's about it.  It was unilateral primarily in that we did not consult with other nations in making the decision to invade, not in that there weren't a handful of other countries fighting along side us.\n\n>>>Don't give me the tired WMD crap either - you know DAMN \n>>>well he had them, just ask the Kurds, "Where are they now?"\n>>>would be

You will not get an answer to your question. You will never get an American to admit he is racist much less expound on why.

Mimi,\nI don't think you are racist. I believe that you are threatened by several things going on around you... That's OK, the rest of us are too.  The racist label that has been placed on you is because you are able to speak your mind here, and you do so in a manner that others reel threatened by you....  Remember, that's OK too!  \n\nIf you ask your questions to hurt people... Well that's not OK.\n\nYou have the same right to speak you mind as everyone else does... even if we don't agree with you!  That is the wonderful thing about living in the USA.\n\nKeep you head high, demand respect, give respect where it is due, and always be sure that you are proud of who you are & what you do!

I honestly do not know how many Blacks believe that but I know that the levies were never blown up.\n\nIf Bush did not care for the Blacks he would have never appointed Blacks into various positions (Colin and Condi are not the only Blacks he gave jobs to, he's appointed many more Blacks as well to various positions).\n\nIf Bush did not care for Blacks he would have avoided Coretta Scott King's Funeral but in addition to the fact he attended it he actually met with her when she was alive.\n\nStop this Bush is a racist crap people it's totally untrue.

Yes, he was being racist. Unfortunately, people do not treat others in the way that they themselves want to be treated. His point has nothing to do with you, and is likely the result of the frustration he was feeling because of his alien status and the recent immigration ballyhoo. No he isnt worth you going to jail. Why dont people realize that they are being racially insensitive when comments like his are being made? Racism is not the one way street that most people believe it to be, and it is often an excuse for poor behavior.

I don't think he is a racist, just not a very good President.

It's only racist if you chosse to make it racist. \n\nUnfounded racial hatred is deplorable, but the looney left have reclassified perfectly innocent phrases as racism.

It depends on whether it is done as a light hearted joke or as a vicious attempt to insult the president.\n\nJay Leno had a series of jokes he'd ask if Bush's Spanish was better than his English.  He's show a clip of Bush speaking spanish & sounding great with a clip of him stumbling over some phrase or name in English.  \n\nBut I have also seen some "questions" here like "How could America have elected a president who can't even speak!"  Those were tastless, & as a Texan, I find them personally offensive!  I sometimes also have difficulty getting my words out.  Sometimes my tongue & my brain don't seem to have a good connections.  So, while I have a good laugh at Bush's "Bushisms"  I get defensive when they are used to attack him.\n\nI also have some serious disagreements with how Bush has run things, so I wonder why these idiots waste thier time focusing on his poor speaking skills, rather than on the content of what he has said.

Depends. Not all people that others think are racist are actually racist.
