I propose a new game: Six Degrees of Conservative Racism. We simply make a true, factual statement about Obama, then, in six steps or less, we determine how it is racist.
An example:
Statement: Obama went to Columbia University.
1). Columbia University shares its name with Columbia, a country.
2). Columbia the country is in South America.
3). South America is full of brown-skinned people.
4). Consevatives hate brown-skinned people.
Therefore, saying Obama went to Columbia University, a more or less true fact, is actually a thinly veiled racist conservative attack; a dog whistle that only liberals can hear that lets them know conservatives are not very nice people.
