    I used to. When I was a kid in school, I figured it was a holdover from “the racist times” back in the 1960s.

    Then I saw how people treated Obama. Real eye opener.

      That’s what made me stop being Republican(a lazy not paying attention 18-22 yo Republican) after Obama was elected I started paying attention and the rise of the tea party was clearly stupid. The more I paid attention the further left I went. Happily voted Obama the 2nd time grudgingly voted Dem the next 3 elections.
