Here is a quotation from GWBush this last Friday in the Rose Garden.

I'm not
sure why it hasn't received more play:


"There's a lot of people in the world who don't believe that people

whose
skin color may not be the same as ours can be free and self-govern.

I reject
that. I reject that strongly. I believe that people who practice the

Muslim
faith can self-govern. I believe that people whose skins aren't

necessarily
a different color than white can self-govern."


The racism here is not subtle. In my mind, it portrays how the

President sees
the world.


IMO, it's beyond subtle. The characterization in you header goes past
what was actually said. That's apparent from the face of the
remarks. I guess you're entitled to spin it the way you have, but the
fact that you need to deviate from the actual words themselves to read
something into the remark indicates that saying that the racism is
"not subtle" is a big stretch.

I suppose it depends what you're looking for.

It's a safe bet that phrase wasn't crafted by a professional writer, but I'd think you'd agree with him.

What he said boils down to "those who feel non whites are incapable of governing themselves are wrong."

I still think the President is clealy showing that, in his mind, he
characterizes the US as a white nation.

And you are still illiterate!
