Do you seriously have a problem comprehending this. He said his dog was black, lazy and didn't work. Did you miss that part? Are you playing stupid or ....?

Give me a break You have made excuse after excuse for democrat comments that they arent racist. If I remember correctly didnt you say that Bill Maher actually using the N word was not racist. But telling a joke that includes a black person is racist.
I didn't mean to be any negative way, I just don't see how it's so difficult.

So these tea Party Conservatives whom virtually every conservative claims dosen't have a racist bone in their body sees nothing out of order with this??

Republicans want minorities to support them at the polls yet we are suppose to endure these attitudes and slights.

Sorry but I'll never support people who think like this, we are not monkeys or dogs and we do happen to know what's in our best intersts!!
It's common knowledge that Republicans/Tea Party(modern day Klan)/Conservatives/Neocons support a bigoted and racially insensitive agenda. They are bigots. This statement by this repulsive individual only shows the supremely ignorant element that president Obama must confront, not only in Congress, but everywhere when dealing with the Right.

The Right will not get the black vote because their ideology represents the bottom, most severely flawed segment of this society.

Its called free speech. As a woman sometimes we act like a B. I've called myself one if a woman cant admit that they can be one at times. They are lying to themselves. My husband sometimes can be an a hole. Guess what I flat out tell him that. I live in a big people world. I am secure enough with myself that sometimes I am a b and I need to hear that I am being one.

It was a joke about getting a dog on welfare. You are trying to make it imply the dog is a person.

If a person is not secure enough in their person then maybe they should work on that.

When you accept the left doing these things, or you support policies that are harmful to minorities, YOU perpetuate racism far greater than any email sent from one individual to another...

I didn't make up lies but clearly you are. Jadex suggested that people are making this worse by speaking about it, I asked her a question. Not you so stop trying to distort my words. Another conservative trying to take words out of context. So far, someone brought up a comment about getting coffee and another about Obama being lucky. Neither is the topic of this thread and don't think I haven't argued with democrats who have made out of line statements. You don't know me and the only lie here is that the email in the OP was not racist. As long as you defend it, you are one in the same.

It's not "common knowledge" at all, though the left would like to make it appear so. That is clear from the rest of your post, so hateful sounding.

You just grouped together and stereotyped a huge group of people. What a jacka*** stupid statement for you to make.

As a woman, I have been told the same thing and when I felt the need to, as a woman, I have defended myself. No, the person who wrote the joke was trying to imply that the dog is on the same level as any black welfare recipient. If a person is thinks they're holier than though and is racist, maybe they should work on that.

Oh and on the flip side of free speech, we also have the right to defend ourselves using speech and speak out about which we disagree with. You can't have it both ways. You're upset because people have expressed their dismay with this statement but then talk about free speech. It's not just for people who agree with you!
