Judith you judge him on his words but justify yours.. hypocrisy ( just calling a spade a spade ..BTW is that a racial epithet?...black folks think it is..)

Wow, on a forum where no personal attacks are allowed you call someone a hypocrite and imply that they are a racist.

And for the record, the term "call a spade a spade" has been in the English language since the 16th century (before there were slaves in America), Erasmus mistranslated the Greek saying "call a bowl a bowl" into Latin and it found its way into English.
