No it is not, liking or disliking Obama, who is black, does not automatically make one a ****ign racist. There are several other valid and invalid reasons to like or dislike the man.

Edit: Your question is a prime example of a non sequitur

Name them. Based upon the poll, not what you want the world to be.

Let's see. Most blacks are Democrat, most whites are Republican.

Not true. Whites are basically the normal spread. 1/3 D, 1/3 R, 1/3 independent.

Blacks are 90-something % D—which is odd, frankly.

The stat cited, however, tells us nothing. What is his approval among White DEMOCRATS. That would say something about a racial divide. The 36% of whites that approve pretty much mimics the % of whites who are democrats.

That poll does not show wether the people who like or dislike obama are racist or not. It does not even touch on the issue. Some of the people who answered probably are racist, be they black or white or any other skin tone for that mater.
What you are doing is commiting a logical fallacy known as the fallacy of the undistributed middle. Or to care it out of wood for you and to paint it red (if that was too difficult for you to follow, I am now going to explain it to you in very simple terms, using big, friendly letters, don't panic)
You are saying that because person A belongs to group B and dislikes Obama, and because some people in group B who also dislike Obama are racist therefore person A is racist. Your logic is flawed, good sir.
