Somebody please explain this to me

Racism:
My understanding of the above word is that if I hate you solely because of your skin color; then I'm a racist.

Dissent:
My understanding of the above word is that if I think your opinion on some matter is poorly thought out/flat out wrong; then I'm dissenting with you.

Why is it that in years past, people with dark skin colors have been able to think the President a complete moron (W, Clinton, Bush#1, Reagan, Carter, etc.) without being racist... but now that there is a president with dark skin... that I'm automatically racist if I think he's wrong on *any* issue?

I am not a racist. I am a dissentor. Plain and simple. Stop trying to call me a racist when I disagree with Jesus... err... Obama. This Cult-of-personality that surrounds Barry needs to be deflated a bit. Barry-O needs to get some space and some fresh air... maybe THEN he'll realize how bad his policies truly are.

Somebody explain how dissent now equals racism. Please?
