Oh, but you won't here his name and "racist" in the same sentence from the media.

Sorry...a little to PC for me. I thought it was pretty funny, actually.

It was a "joke". I wonder how they would react if Edwards had said it?

[TSOL]

I didn't find it racist; lighten up.

It was a joke. But your right, no way Edwards gets away with that comment.

It would be funny if he could dance. He dances like a white man:

Indeed...when we can joke about our differences is when we know we are making progress on the racial front.

I thought it was hilarious!:)

Just bury this whole racism thing completely. You're not going to do a great job of deflecting attention from RP's newsletters by just accusing someone else.

agreed.

Well Edwards wouldn't even be asked such a stupid question. Really I'd be ticked off if I were Barak. He keeps getting asked "Are you black enough" while Bill Clinton gets hailed as the "first black president" because.........? Frankly I was always offended by Toni Morrison's comments. Maybe Barak should have said "So I need to cheat on my wife like Bill Clinton just to prove I'm black?"
