An honest conservative whom I've known for years on youtube admitted to me that the right wingers (including him) whom often accuse President Obama of many things (without proof of any of their outrageous claims about him or evidence just circular reasoning, lies, misinformation, fiction, conspiracy theories, logical fallacy's, no logic, hateful, evil thoughts about Obama with no basis in logic or reality, etc.) such as "being Anti-American, Muslim, Kenyan, hate filled, unpatriotic, not Christian, not American,, a Communist a Socialist, a Fascist, like Hitler, etc." and other such vitriolic filth, garbage and hate have, the ones he knows of which are dozens, never read any of Obama's books and have never done any research (or little if any) on him or his life nor any research or little on Kenyan culture, Muslim theology, customs or culture, American History and politics, The Constitution and the Bill of Rights, Liberal Ideology and History, Christian theology and History, The Civil Rights Movement, Communism, Socialism, Fascism, etc.
They are racist in thinking that every black or bi-racial person looks angry all the time. They often repeat the same hateful (and sometimes) racist, bigoted, and ignorant filth without knowing why and can not answer why. Example: I've asked anti-Obama conservatives why they call him such names as the ones I've just posted above. None of them have ever really told me why (e.g. Why is President Obama Anti-American? Why is he Angry? Why... You get it) My conservative right wing friend finally broke down and told me that he's called President Obama all those names. Apart from some issues he disagrees on Obama with, he has no idea why him and others call Obama such hateful names and are so often mean spirited towards him for no reason or trivial reasons besides political ones. President Obama is just like any other Democrat and liberal ever elected President of the U.S.A. except for his skin color, being born into a newly incorporated state off the mainland USA and living in Indonesia as a child as well as family background (Americans often have complex family backgrounds with different nationalities marrying each other as well as interracial marriages and interfaith ones, sometimes a combination of the two taking place)
I would guess that racism comes into play and change i.e. progress in society as well as dealing with people who strongly are traditionalists, have never had any non-white friends, are uneducated on many issues in many areas of life and ignorant of reality as well Not to mention, again, racist, bigoted and hateful views of those different from them and the propaganda and rhetoric they read from extreme right wing websites, books and personality's on TV, the internet, print and radio which mainly runs and is fueled by fear and conspiracy theories and mainly lies and fiction about liberals and Democrats and those different from them.
Something to think about.
