WOW, we’ve got to get the exact quote on that - it would be amazing to see that in headlines:
“Edwards: All Blacks Are Wannabe Criminals”
And the Demagogues think they are so politically correct and racially sensitive? So much for the good liberal heart of the shyster trial lawyer.....
We have to find out precisely what words he used.
“no black people left because they would either be in jail or dead”
Of course he said it, most racists in America are also leftists.
Assuming you’re correct he could explain it away by saying something like “we all know that black people in this country are unjustly targeted by police and prosecutors simply because they’re black and that blacks die prematurely thanks to the racist neglect they suffer at the hands of our despicable health care system and in light of this my statement is completely reasonable”.
Transcripts are needed. On which network was this being shown? Was it being run on a particular TV show?
You have to have misheard. Edwards is a twit, and a hypocrite, and a lightweight ... but he’s also a pretty good lawyer who knows how to avoid really stupid statements. I doubt he’d say something so transparently stupid.
VH-1 blanked out the boos for She Who Must Not Be Named after Sept. 11th.
I imagine MTV will do the same for the Breck Girl’s honest comments.
What else can you expect from a My Little Pony... utter rubbish, nice hair, a beatific if vacuous smile, and trash like this.
The Only Racists are the ones that talk about it all the time. Think about that statement for a minute.... yea... EXACTLY

which is nothing more than a college essay that the MSM picked up. Problem is, the data is wrong, there are more black males in college than in jail.
What program was it?
If it was “MySpace Forum With John Edwards”, it plays on the west coast at 7PM (PDT)
MTV (via Time Warner Cable - Los Angeles)

Chill... It’s not as if a Republican said it.
It was hyperbole. Not literal. It was meant to make Blacks feel as though if the White power structure had it’s way all Blacks would either be dead or in jail. It wasn’t meant to make it sound like every Black deserved to be dead or in jail, and I wouldn’t take it that way. What’s ridiculous is that Blacks themselves are in positions of power in a lot of places yet we’re supposed to keep on believing that Whites run everything so when anything goes wrong it’s their fault.
This is nothing more than a botched joke. Nothing to see here.

Yes—and poor people are poor because nuclear power plants are polluting the air.
Silky Pony bump.
