I agree that Gabby's constant accusations of racism are out of control. I'm guessing he was in University sometime in the 1980s. That's where this PC culture of victimization philosophy was fostered (or festered).
The problem with the analogy above is this. If Pierre La Rogue were President, there would be plenty of people questioning his citizenship etc. And it's true that it wouldn't necessarily be racism. However, very, very few people would be thinking that what really needs to happen is for someone to put a bullet in his brain or string him up in a tree. What people would want would be for him to get ousted and shrink back into obscurity.
That's not what the hardcore racists want for Obama or any other black man. That's the difference.
The legacy of white on black racism is hard to deal with for the right, no doubt. But it's there, and it's alive to whatever extent.
Lastly, what Gabby may fail to realize is that the most virulent racism, if you're measuring by how widespread it is, doesn't occur in the U.S. between blacks and whites. Gabfly has apparently never experienced the racism that exists between different Africans themselves, between certain Asian ethnic groups, or among certain South Asian ethnic groups. What about in Eastern Europe? People aren't lynched very often in America anymore, but people do die that way in other countries. All the time. As a result of racism.
American whites have no corner in racism.
