You forget: he is black. Therefore, it is okay for black presidents, Dim senators, and celebrities to use that word with reckless abandon.

From Monday's NYT column by the hate filled Bob Herbert:

"A few years ago, when he was governor of Virginia, Mr. Allen issued a proclamation declaring April "Confederate History and Heritage Month." From Mr. Allen's pro-Confederate perspective, the Civil War was a struggle for "independence and sovereign rights." Independence, in this case, does not refer to the independence of black slaves.

I'd like to know if Senator Allen feels we'd all have been better off if the South had won the Civil War. It's a fair enough question. Mr. Allen loved the old Confederacy so much he displayed the Confederate flag in his living room. He was a little touchy about it, though. When someone accused him of flying the flag in his living room, he took umbrage. "It was never flying," he said. "It was nailed to a wall."

Do you think Mr. Herbert will go and see his fellow Democrat,Senator KKK, in his movie debut??
