“Chris Cuomo @ChrisCuomo · 4h 4 hours ago .@lottotx since never. I miss spoke. I don’t use names of terrorists and i mislabeled him once in 8 hrs of coverage. “

Miss Spoke? Who is she?
Lol. Journalists.

I once read something where Cleopatra was referred to as 'African-American'. I thought, America didn't exist then, so how could she be 'African-American'?

She was from Egypt, so wouldn't that make her 'African-Egyptian?

Egypt is in Africa, so she would be 'African-African'!

[BobL]

So he’s saying that they are AMERICANS...

"Egypt is in Africa, so she would be 'African-African'!"

But she was Greek.

... or something.

I have a friend Muhammed, born in Egypt, long naturalised US citizen. He is incensed at the use of “African-American” to mean black.

“I am African-American dammit! None of these happy A**holes have ever been to Africa”

Is Ms. Kerry still on the loose?

Where does George Clooney’s new spouse weigh-in on this topic?

[SharpRightTurn]

Chris Cuomo: loud, obnoxious, bombastic, irritating—it must be in the genes.

[Fast Moving Angel]

Don’t know about the rest of you, but I’m sick of the PC BS where they call these terrorists “hostage takers”. What, are they going to offend these terrorists by calling them terrorists?

A blond, Afrikaans classmate of my daughter got offered numerous free rides at Ivy league colleges when they saw her SAT’s and grades and noticed her place of birth was “South Africa”.

[WorkingClassFilth]

I refer to CNN reporters as ‘pin-heads’.

[Alberta's Child]

LOL. Since it’s a fabricated term anyway, I don’t think it really makes a difference what you call those terrorists in France.

I was talking to a friend today who happens to be black, really dark, and he says about the deli attacker, “That dude was blacker than me!” and I said “Yeah and his chick was whiter than me!”
