Regarding Obama, he has had immense difficulty seeing past the president's skin.

He said Obama was elected because of race instead of his policies.

He has portrayed the Democratic health care reform effort as "the beginning of reparations."

He has said that Obama plans to "settle old racial scores through new social justice."

So it should have come as no surprise when Beck, who believes it is actually Obama, not himself, who "has real issues with race,"

said the president had "exposed himself as a guy" with "a deep-seated hatred for white people."

The next day, he said "I think the president is a racist."

The Color of Change boycott started soon afterward.
