Mr. Obama's revelation of his "inner Muslim" in Cairo reveals much about who he is. He is our first president without an instinctive appreciation of the culture, history, tradition, common law and literature whence America sprang. The genetic imprint writ large in his 43 predecessors is missing from the Obama DNA. He no doubt meant no offense in returning that bust of Churchill ("Who he?") or imagining that a DVD of American movies was appropriate in an exchange of state gifts with Gordon Brown. Nor did he likely understand why it was an offense against history (and good manners) to agree to the exclusion of the Queen from Saturday's commemoration of the Anglo-American liberation of France. Kenya simply routed Kansas.
I don't suppose anyone would care to vouchsafe the y-man a clue as to what part of this quote is the least bit racist...
I was about to post that "racist" is often just a floating signifier for something someone doesn't like, but wait a minute:
He is our first president without an instinctive appreciation of the culture, history, tradition, common law and literature whence America sprang. The genetic imprint writ large in his 43 predecessors is missing from the Obama DNA.
LOL, instinctive appreciation of the culture? genetic imprint? Obama DNA? Did Don Black of Stormfront hack into Pruden's blog?

And then Pruden goes on to portray Obama as reacting to the Churchill bust with minstrel show Black English:
He no doubt meant no offense in returning that bust of Churchill ("Who he?")
... and top that off with "Kenya simply routed Kansas." :lol:

Pruden's usually more milquetoast with the racist tropes. It was he who sacked late white nationalist Samuel Francis back in 1995:
Editor in Chief Wesley Pruden fired Francis in September, 1995, after conservative journalist Dinesh D'Souza described his appearance at the 1994 American Renaissance conference:

A lively controversialist, Francis began with some largely valid complaints about how the Southern heritage is demonized in mainstream culture. He went on, however, to attack the liberal principles of humanism and universalism for facilitating "the war against the white race." At one point he described country music megastar Garth Brooks as "repulsive" because "he has that stupid universalist song, in which we all intermarry." His fellow whites, he insisted, must "reassert our identity and our solidarity, and we must do so in explicitly racial terms through the articulation of a racial consciousness as whites . . . . The civilization that we as whites created in Europe and America could not have developed apart from the genetic endowments of the creating people, nor is there any reason to believe that the civilization can be successfully transmitted to a different people."
More Francis:
...Francis wrote a column complaining about implicit miscegenation in a skit about Desperate Housewives aired during ABC's Monday Night Football. Francis vigorously denounced the advertisement, which featured sexual innuendo between a black football player and a white actress, arguing that "[t]he point was...to hurl a pie...in the face of...white racial and cultural identity." The advertisement, shockingly to Francis, implicitly argued that "interracial sex is normal and legitimate," an idea that Francis sees as "fairly radical." Francis went on to argue that "breaking down the sexual barriers between the races is a major weapon of cultural destruction."
