Oh, so since Clinton did it as well, it isn't racist after all. Never mind.

No, that's not what it says at all. The article refers to this as a decades-old practice. How many decades? Who knows, perhaps since the Civil War.

GHWB changed the date but the practice pre-dates even his presidency.

TAKE A LOOK

I new it was bogus!

I think you miss his point about the bias of the media. It was a racist practice until they discovered that it occurred under Clinton. Then it wasn't racist anymore. Nevermind.

The original article, posted in reply 7, mentions the practice as started by Woodrow Wilson.
