Are you black? I would wager "no", so don't speak for what "a black" would think.

Good god. The comments here read like a compendium of right-wing paranoia. Do they trust any news source other than Matt Drudge? (who's not even a real journalist)

Actually according to spd when they asked him he said "white". Not sure what it says on his other official documents.

Racist Rick Santorum: "I don't want to make black peoples lives better" - YouTube

Gotcha!

Thanks for sharing.

Exactly!

You can expect more hispanics to be considered white based on political expediency.

After all neither the Irish or Italians were considered "White" in the late 19th century and early 20th century.

LOL; I'm not dense. Your story is just a crock. Are you saying that the case was dismissed, the kids cheered and their families waited until they got out in the hallway to cheer?

Is THAT what you want me to believe? What a crock. Like I said, find another story. You failed miserably with this one. SMDH

Haha, sure you did.
