In politics, a racer is a believer in the big evil conspiracy of tea partiers, conservatives, libertarians, and moderates who disagree with the policies of Barrack Obama and/or seek freer market solutions to economic problems (supposedly a well hidden conspiracy, since you won't hear/see any evidence of this at a typical tea party event). The conspiracy is basically that this ideology is all, mostly, or centrally revolving around race, rather than economic policy (which they actually talk about on a regular and primary basis).
Racers' supposed evidence includes:
1) The president is black, so if you disagree with him you must be a white racist.
2) There are a lot of white people at tea party events (although more blacks and latinos than, say, a Green Day concert or a G20 protest, drawing great speculation on those groups' obviously racist roots).
3) ???
4) Profit. (Dismissal of rational and historically/economically astute argument.)
Origins: Much like other single-issue 21st century political conspiracy theories, the word is a conjunction of a single theme or platitude with "er." Like "truther" (9/11 truth conspiracy theorist) "birther" (Obama birth certificate conspiracy theorist) and "deather" (Bin Laden death conspiracy theorist), we now have "racer" (tea party race conspiracy theorist).

Contessa Brewer of MSNBC ranted about a man at a tea party event with an AR-15 slung over his shoulder, tying it into dangerous white racism and saying it's because there's a black man in the white house. It was while airing a video of the man edited (cropped) to not show his face or hands.. and as it turns out the man was black, and like most tea partiers not dangerous and not very concerned about the race of the president. ... Contessa Brewer is definitely a racer.

Get the racer mug.The Oakland Raiders are a controversial NFL team reviled by "higher class" haters. They are loved by the Raider Nation, which consists of football fans who are intense, passionate individuals with chips on their shoulders. The Raiders have always insisted on doing things their way, playing with a lot of heart, and winning and succeeding in spite of their own foolish mistakes. To be a Raider is to defeat opponents sheerly based on your iron will, mental toughness, and true grit.
Perennial underdogs who revel in proving their critics wrong, the Raiders and their fans have a rich tradition of embracing former castoffs like Jim Plunkett and Rich Gannon and turning them into gunslinging, weatherbeaten winners.
The Raiders also have the best and most meaningful team slogans, "Pride and Poise," "Just Win, Baby," "Commitment to Excellence," and "Just Cut It Loose." For more information on the Oakland Raiders, check out the team's official anthem, "The Autumn Wind", which truly describes what it means to be a Raider.

Oh, they are the most devoted fans, yet most of the home games are blacked out? Hey, I see enough rader jackets on San Pablo Blvd to fill the stadium up, I wonder why they arn't at the game?
Correct definition: Loosers in the game of life, though always blame others for their own problems (see ciriuz).

Get the Railroaded mug.Professional football team based in Oakland, CA
Their fanbase mostly consists of Hispanics. Most of the minorities where I'm from (Denver) are fans of the Raiders even if they aren't from Oakland because they are seen as the "bad boys" of the NFL and they think they have cool team colors.
Also;
A team that does not care about character or class.
A team with annoying, bandwagon fans. They don't give a damn about them when they're losing and will make excuses for them but on the rare occasion they win they'll shove it in your face. Even though they'll get their asses handed to them the next game they play
Raiders suck. End of story. Stop acting like they're sooo good.
Even players on that team hate themselves because no other team will touch them with a 10 foot pole

Get the Raiders mug.The most loyal fan you will ever meet.
Someone who doesn't stop rooting for their favorite team just because they lost two games in a row. Someone who has so much love for their team they would kill for them.
Seen by some as caring more about their team than about concepts such as family, law, and non-violence.
Not to be mistaken with complete fucking idiots such as -
New England Patriot fans that did not know who the team was before 2001.
Pittsburgh Steeler fans that only surface during playoff runs.
Denver Bronco fans who need to have their teeth knocked out so they don't bite down while sucking my dick.

Hey that 'Raider fan' sure is beating that Chargers fan pretty maliciously.
Wow 'Raider fan' it's just a loss, are you sure you want to kill Jamarcus Russell?
That Chiefs fan ran into some 'Raiders fans' on his way home and no one's heard from him in three days.
