It's actually pretty easy if you are or know black people, Hispanic people, women, immigrants, Muslims, or people with disabilities.

But he loves non-white and female people! Smiley

Lol, I was talking about his "style". I mean the choice of music and the greetings were fun. Don't you think so? Smiley

Or respect women, conservatism, Judaism, any other ideology other than nationalist fascism, etc. etc.

So nice to praise this dangerous man from the safety of the other side of the world (nearly) and with no immediate ultimate consequences should he be elected.

It would definitely have been superior if they had used the version of the song from the West End 10th anniversary performance.

The "deplorables" rate should be about the same among all the races, right? Don't be a racist! Cheesy

The guy literally spent years trying to delegitimize a Black president by claiming he was born in an African country and, therefore, was not an American.

Take your blinders off, will you?

No. Why KENYA specifically? Tell me that.

And why was Obama the first president ever in American history to be asked for his birth certificate on these grounds?

You are being intentionally obtuse, and you know it.

That's abhorrent. An aspiring right-wing, bigoted, authoritarian co-opting the pro-revolutionary music of an ardent right-wing critic and social reformer, who wrote a preface to 'Les Miserables' that states the following has no business referencing anything from Victor Hugo's works,

"So long as there shall exist, by reason of law and custom, a social condemnation, which, in the face of civilization, artificially creates hells on earth, and complicates a destiny that is divine with human fatality; so long as the three problems of the age—the degradation of man by poverty, the ruin of women by starvation, and the dwarfing of childhood by physical and spiritual night—are not solved; so long as, in certain regions, social asphyxia shall be possible; in other words, and from a yet more extended point of view, so long as ignorance and misery remain on earth, books like this cannot be useless."

Why Kenya? Are you joking?

Why not Bill Clinton? As I said, if it was a white male with name Vladimir Ivanov Stalin, he would asked as well. Some would say he is a communist and should never run for president. Don't you think, it would be the case? Really? REALLY?

Would you call them racists in that case as well?

Sometimes dirty campaigning is just... a dirty campaigning...

Sigh. Those f**king Black and Woman Cards...

I think Boublil, Schonberg and Mackintosh (for it was the latter who was really responsible for creating the Les Mis familiar to English speaking audiences) were more concerned with making an entertaining, profitable musical when they created 'Do You Hear the People Sing' than with promoting 'social reform'. I mean, with a couple of tweaks, the song could literally be purposed to just about any situation, its lyrics are so general.

Because Barack Obama's literary agent said so in promotional literature for Obama's book in 1991.  So, the original "birthers" were actually working on behalf of Obama to sell books.

He wasn't.  Chester Arthur was accused of being born in Canada in the 1880s.  But I'm sure that was because of "racism", too.

Some Democrats claimed Chester A. Arthur had actually been born in Quebec instead of Vermont. Hillary was probably just as responsible for that as she was the Obama birtherism.

There is little doubt in my mind that, at a minimum, Clinton was responsible for a whisper campaign spreading birther rumors in 2008.  A Clinton volunteer coordinator was responsible for sending birther e-mails.  And Clinton uber-confidant Sid Blumenthal visited the McClatchy D.C. bureau investigative editor to spread birther rumors.

But, like I said, the original birthers were Obama's own book publicists, lying about his birthplace in 1991 to sell more books by making him sound more cosmopolitan than he already was.
