racist?

i was up watching Lift Every Voice this morning (a gospel program on BET) and they were going behind the scenes and taking looks at the houses that had been destroyed by Hurricane Katrina. then something caught my attention. they asked a young, black guy, who appeared to be around 24 or 25 years old, if he thought that YOUR president was a racist. his reply was, "it's really not important if i think he's a racist or not. the question is, why do many people think that he is." i totally agree with him. what do you think?
