I honestly think he misspoke and even if he didnt I hold it as no worse than the numerous racist statements said, without consequences, by members of the congressional black caucus.
100% agree. The real racists are the whites in the power seats and the media who infantilize blacks by not holding them to the same standards as rest of society. Thus you have the rampant crime, breakdown in family structure, terrible academic performance by so many blacks without even a tut tut.
