What a racist! Personally I cheer for the USA team whether its the basketball team in the summer Olympics or the Hockey team in the Winter Olympics. The players skin color, or lack of, doesn't matter because I am cheering for "AMERICANS", Mr. Gumbel!
STOP!!!! ITS NOT A RACIST COMMENT!
We always criticize the Dems for overreacting when we make jokes or comments about race (Rush/McNabb-Trent lott at the Thurmand dinner etc.) and now it seems like a DU board on here...."hes a racist, he should apoligize, waaa!"
We have all at one time or another participated or laughed at a joke about race. I, as a matter of fact, use the same joke he does on occasion. When my friend (whos black and a dem) and I drive by the welfare trailor, I always tell him it looks like the Democratic national convention. He dosen't call me a racist and start crying...and neither should any of you. It may be a joke in bad taste for the forum he's on, but it dosen't make it a racist comment.
