Michael Moore is being crticized for racism, not policy commentary
A lot of people are complaining that Moore is being attacked solely because he criticized President Obama's policies.
That's a rather obtuse, perhaps willfully so, claim.
He's being criticized because what he said was explicitly racist--explicitly reducing President Obama to nothing more than his skin pigmentation, stating that NOTHING about the President's record in office matters, only his skin color. There's a long history of this kind of stuff on the part of white people, and it's racist as ****.
And Moore has a history of this, as one would expect from a privileged white guy with no filter.

What we did not expect was to feel so enraged at one point that we almost walked out. It was when Moore went into a rant about how the passengers on the planes on 11 September were scaredy-cats because they were mostly white. If the passengers had included black men, he claimed, those killers, with their puny bodies and unimpressive small knives, would have been crushed by the dudes, who as we all know take no disrespect from anybody. God save us from such stupid white men, especially now, when in the US and the UK, black people's lives are being ripped to shreds by drugs, lawlessness, fear and frightful violence plus the endless circle of racism, exclusion and incarceration. This is not awesome, Mr Moore; it is a calamity, for descendants of slaves unimaginably more so.
Just putting this out there so maybe some white progressives who are less sensitive to this stuff than others will get it.
Why he gotta be pointin' at all the whitey's?!
:rofl:

Good. Let 'em turn on fatboy, see if I care. They should have done it in 1986, but better late than never.
Don't worry, fatboy. Liberals are psychopaths. Just throw them some red meat they like and they'll be back licking the soles of your Hushpuppies soon thereafter.
