I hate racism too. I talked to my husband about it, and he said that it was a racist statement even though he knew that I was not a racist. I looked up the definition of a racist on the web, and yes that would make me a racist by that definition. I now thank you for telling me this because it was not in my mind to be a racist. You helped me see how I have believed certain things about blacks that I should not have believed. Reading the reason for the lower IQs on minorities has helped me as well. It just goes to show that while you hate racists and want nothing to do with them, even moved away from the south to get away from them, that a person can still have some racist thinking. I would be so embarrassed at this moment, except that you have helped me in this and so I am more grateful.

She was totally all up on the whitey video, which is why I'm finding this exchange a tad bit hilarious.

How do you come to that conclusion? Would you expect Obama to admit it if one did exist?

I just have to ask; There are reports that the Obama campaign put out the "alternative pronunciation" ie "Why'd he" instead of "Whitey".

Now, the leads me to believe that THERE IS some kind of tape with her ranting.

I could be wrong. But I don't think so.

Good times ahead, For sure.

Even though you have no evidence that he actually did. Just some claim from a left-wing kook citing anonymous sources. Good enough for you?

I'll just highlight the pertinent words;
"MAYBE it's not a baseless rumor"
"IF one did exist"
"Some kind of tape with her ranting"
"I could be Wrong" "But I don't think so.

If it never happened, why did McCain refuse to answer the question?

A couple weeks ago, you were making a big deal about the so called "whitey tape", even started a thread or two about it. Your glee at the tape's potential couldn't be hidden. Well, where is it? Got a little egg on your face don't you? Perhaps you should learn that wishful thinking and rumors are no substitute for the real thing.

Same reason Obama would not directly dignify an answer to the "whitey" rumor.

Quote:
“We have seen this before. There is dirt and lies that are circulated in e-mails and they pump them out long enough until finally you, a mainstream reporter, asks me about it,” Obama said to the McClatchy reporter during a press conference aboard his campaign plane. “That gives legs to the story. If somebody has evidence that myself or Michelle or anybody has said something inappropriate, let them do it.”

Asked whether he knew it not to be true, Obama said he had answered the question.

Directly addressed on his webpage

Fight the Smears | The truth about Michelle
Lie:

On May 30th, Rush Limbaugh said he had heard a rumor that a tape exists of Michelle Obama using the word “Whitey” from the pulpit of Trinity United Church of Christ.
Truth:

No such tape exists. Michelle Obama has not spoken from the pulpit at Trinity and has not used that word.

As usual you are not paying attention. IF the republicans had the tape, why would they put it out now? If they did, that would give an opening to Hill&Bill at the convention. We would rather go against Obama than Hill&Bill.

Follow along - So IF it exists, the smart strategy would be to.hold.it.for.an.October.surprise - clear?

I noticed that Newtoli didn't include my musings that IF a tape exists one would have a reasonable expectation that others would be able to get a hold of it (clinton). But, maybe not, since I heard that the church pulled all the tapes from the store.

You make an assumption that since it hasn't aired, it doesn't exist.

I would not count on that.
