I stumbled upon this exchange in an article that began by talking about Orly at oneof the local Patches. There was a different reporter from this Patch fawning all over Orly at the 9th Cir.

That depends on what you consider RACIST! Your story, I agree, doesn't seem fair...BUT, if you are talking about the people that are going after Obama's eligibility, like I am, and you are called racist, when all you are doing is standing up for your country, I think that is PLAIN WRONG! I am a Tea Partier and If Rubio tries to get in on the 2012 election, I will be going after him TOO, because he is not a natural born citizen, either! IS THAT RACIST? WHY NOT?
My video is 100% sourced with govt documents and the founders writings and there is no way of disputing it, whatsoever!

This isn't an article about "birthers", it's about the hidden racism that has come back up since President Obama was elected. I'm not sure why you felt the need to dump this video here. Maybe you felt the author was talking about you, personally? You may not believe you "birthers" are racist, but that's what it looks like to the rest of us.
My son is 9 and has friends of every race, nationality and color. He just flat out says, "That's racist. Maybe you shouldn't say that." when he hears that kind of talk. I hope he keeps this race innocence a little longer. Especially in California, his generation will barely register racial differences when they are older.

Thanks for your comments Rachel. You are right, the article is not about birthers. It's an attempt to help people understand how their underlying racism affects the people around them and that ignorance is the only basis for racist attitudes.
Birthers use their conspiracy theory as a so called "legitimate" platform in which to spew their hate.
