With Obama however, given that elements of the far right have a strong record of racism it seems probable that some of the more extreme hate towards Obama is based on that.

Well, racism is just grouping people together, and due to a few in that group being bad apples, applying it to the entire group.

Being you just did it, I am not sure why you have a problem with it.

 

Oh, and Obama approval rating is 44% for white, 61% for Hispanics, and a whopping 93% for blacks.

I wonder why it's so high in the black community? Anything you can think of that would keep his rating that high?

I did explicitly note that it wasn't the entire group. There are 'elements of', bad apples in your words, the far right that have racist motivations.

 

Also yes, 'positive' racism in the black community gives him votes from there. Is that really a surprise?
