Funny how Libs are not up in arms about thius and accept Rather's explanation thatit is an old southern expression. That's what Obama pulled with his "Lipstick on a pig" dig at Palin...lets face it folks, Both Rather and Obama knew EXACTLY what they were saying...just not men enough to take the heat. Cowards.

@ccsexy32056 Sure hope you're a girl w/a username like that. I don't understand why you don't blieve me. I'm BLACK! I also read what you said about John Hanson. I don't know whether it's true or not. It was before the racial superiority came along so it's prob is true.

@ccsexy32056 Is that a joke? Not mad, just wanted to know. Labels destroy this planet. I'm sure whites don't make a concerted effort to eat the same meal on Sunday, nor do blacks. Idk what the (black) ppl down the street are eating. Many families don't even eat together anymore. Shame. You interested in our food? Is that why you asked?

@082550 I agree 100% but most ppl don't think. How could blacks be blamed for Obama in office when we only make up 12% of America? Good to see someone uses their head...instead of the TV.
