Sound like a bunch of racist white assholes to me, but then, why should be be surprised? Don't hate us because every white girl (including your mothers, and sisters) long for the experience of sleeping with a black man, while white boys wish they could have some black coochie but can't measure up.

When I was a young black child, I said axed, too. Turns out that old English pronounced it that way, too. Linguists say its a survival, that way of speaking. Whatever his accent, Isadore is one good looking smart cookie and I'm glad he's willing to be a public servant. You go, Isadore!

LOL...hey "Assembly Member" Isadore - maybe you should learn to say ASK, a one syllable word & there would be fewer "stereotypes"

This wasn't organized by a student. It was organized by an African American Comedian. That has been made clear. Why haven't people corrected the story?

For the details on what happened you can go to the comptoncookout web site.
