They (Michelle and Barry) don't get a free pass because they're black...

Of course not. But should their being black leave them open to racial slurs and stereotypes?

Perhaps we should address the issue of people calling others "white trash" and "trailer trash." I do not condone racism, but humor is by nature confrontational, and stereotypes are based in reality.

Leave the kids out of it, recognize that not all members of a group share the same traits, but also drop the PC nonsense that has infected America. The Obama fist bump is a good example. Is it racist to mention it? In my opinion, no. But the PC crowd begs to differ.

No, not unless they make race an issue and write book that call whites ‘typical white person” and things like that. Not unless they bring up race constantly and accuse everyone that disagrees a racist. Last night I said Obama was a greedy elitist on a poker site. Someone said “I reported you for being racist”. WTF?
