I understand what you are saying, but should a white candidate call a black person that stole his car the “N” word? Even though he might actually feel that in his heart, about THAT person at THAT moment?
How crucified would that guy be?
Good point. I think use of the “N” word shows someone to be crass, uneducated, insensitive , and stupid. The proper remedy is to beat the crap out of someone who says it and that should be the end of it. I’m just venting about all this touchy feely race stuff we hear everyday. I’m not going to vote for Obama because he is pro-abortion and wants to raise my taxes. I don’t really care what color he is. McCain is a democrat as far as I am concerned but I will hold my nose and vote for a 60% conservative. If Walter Williams or Thomas Sowell was running, I’d vote for them! I just think we use race as a politically correct bludgeon(conservatives can do it too) The days of Sanford and Son, Archie Bunker, and George Jefferson were probably more honest than now. It does not surprise me (and I don’t hoild it against Obama or Michaelle) if they were infused with some “whitey”-hating rhetoric. Let’s see if they can get this behind them and make an attempt to represent all Americans.
