Accidents happen, people misspeak.
I hadn't even heard anything about this until the NON-BLACK OP created this thread to say how outraged black people are about it. The OP is trying to create a controversy where one does not exist.

These shills are just so darn obvious. These are the exact same folks who created tons of anti-Obama threads on C-D prior to the election only to disappear at midnight on Nov 6 after the results were in. Same shills different agenda.

If it isn't an issue with black people, then why is he worried about it? And why characterize it as "African Americans are All Stirred Up" when that simply is not the truth?

Nearly every black person who has posted has said that this isn't an issue...move on. This is an obvious race bait thread.

some people aren't happy unless/until they are filled with stupid, mindless, self-righteous outrage over nothing

Well that's the point, he's the only one I see making an issue of it, and he is saying African Americans are making an issue of it. I think he's just trying to spark some race controversy in hopes of inciting some people.

Peaked your interest

A grand total of 2.5 blacks have ever heard of this nonsense.

Man, you folks are obsessed with black folks. It's kinda flattering that we"re always on your minds.....but really, try taking up a hobby. There's more to life than hanging on our jockstraps.

Fall for what, the OP's attempt at riling up "the base"?

They fall for it because they are looking at reasons to be angry at African Americans.

What say you?

"Yawn" It must really be a slow day in DC if this is considered news.

You really need a city-data vacation. Have a drink, smoke some dope for all I care, just take a load off and get a breather.

Signed,

A Black Person
You know what? If we met in downtown LA for coffee and conversation, it would never occur to me to think that "she is a black person".

I would enjoy your company as a human being, even if I do disagree with some political ideas that you express here.

So my question is - why do you feel the need to make a point that you are a black person? Why should that matter?

I don't make it a point that I am 1/4 Irish, 1/4 German, 1/4 English, and 1/4 Swedish (oops - I just did!) but I do state that I am 100% an American - as are you.

I don't understand why some people make such an issue about skin color instead of acknowledging others as people.

I have lived my entire life in diverse neighborhoods - and it was only until I came to this site that I realized that some people think that Jim Crow and the Civil Rights era are still going on.

Let's just be civil to each other.

Peace,

Harrier.

It obviously peaked yours.

I entirely disagree with your analysis. Do you agree with what the woman said? Sure, she made a mistake.

As for inciting people with race controversises, you are the master of that tactic.

I am too immersed in a diverse megalopolis and caring about all people to be baited by your ignorant rants.

Why don't you get a life?
