From the article: The former first lady, who met King as a teenager in Chicago seven years before he was gunned down in 1968, paid tribute to Obama as an "extraordinary young African-American man."
Obama is 46.
For those unaware, it is a racial slur to refer to an adult black male as 'boy.' After Guy Milner called a black man who refused to shake his hand 'boy' his campaign was over.
While she didn't use the term 'boy' here, it sure sounds suggestive of the slur and is exceptionally insulting. He's a grown, accomplished, married man with children.
If an R did this, you know the media would be all over it.
could you explain the expression “bless your heart”?
Most people would dislike getting boils at a debate.
Sounds patronizing to me.
And the media wouldn't call it "dislike" if it were a republican.
Hillary - Judged by the company she keeps By Steve Miller Tuesday, January 22, 2008
Hillary ClintonLAS VEGAS - The Nevada caucus is over, but several issues emerged that help define the woman selected to be the state Democratic Partys nominee.
First and foremost, it took dozens of translators stationed in the caucus locations to help the majority of Clinton supporters understand speeches and fill out their ballots. These voters who could neither speak nor write in our nations language were asked (in Spanish) to sign a document attesting to the fact that they were in the United States legally. After obediently doing so, the majority voted for Hillary Clinton at caucus locations within the hotels where theyre employed.
Think about it, no matter what Obama says about this, he would lose. The night of the Dem debate in Nevada, I was laughing because a Hispanic man stood up during the Lutz focus group segment on FOX and angrily yelled that no Hispanic would ever vote for Obama, meaning that no Hispanic would vote for a Black man.
you know dang well who she is..........LOL.....we all do by now. what we want to know is if there is a blue dress moment coming for the two of them.......
As strange as it may seem, I honestly don’t remember hearing about Huma before. I may have, but it sure didn’t stick if I did.
I somehow don’t think a blue stained dress is going to figure in this, but then maybe those rumors about Hillary weren’t so crazy after all.
Bwa ha ha ha...
phone calls to hill at all hours are picked up by huma......NOT bill.
Who cares? Let them kill each other.
Someone should point out to her that she was only 45 when she began her "co-Presidency" with Bubba!
And how does that make them different from a normal American family? ;)
Don’t say “noose”, Don’t say “boy”, Don’t say Marxism, Don’t say stupid, Don’t say spineless, Don’t say anything or we will have you in court for “hate speach”.
What balls? Am I supposed to have balls?
BS!
I’m just saying, you can call a black guy an idiot, a Marxist, a moron, and a fraud. Just that calling him a ‘boy’ is the equivilent of you calling yourself a racist from 50 years ago. It’s simply impolite.
I certainly hope so. They've earned the right. It isn't easy trying to run against a pair of diseased but animal-clever criminal psychopaths.
I don’t know if I agree with you are not. It depends on the circumstances and is certainly not absolute. I’m not gonna grovel or kowtow to someone just because they are black. I won’t go out of my way or be rude just to be rude. But you will get what you give and your feelings are not paramount or the only concern. I also will not pretend all this race crap is a one way street or just the “evil white man” as your post could imply. I’m tired of all this BS kowtowing and interaction when blatant racism and attitude come strongly from many who are black. It is a two way street and your interpretation is not the same as my intent.
Some people want to make this crap absolute and even criminal. It is happening in Europe & Canada. We better wake up in this country or it’s coming here too. The climate in some circles is that it can’t happen soon enough.
Hillary's employing every dirty trick in the book to set him up for a fall. Methinks Obama has Hillary's former associates (read: people she burned) in his camp advising him. He seems to be beating her at her own game.
I don’t like boils either. They would really be painful standing for such a long time in a debate.
