I also felt that was unnecessary. In fact, this thread is about the opinion of one speaker who just happens to be black. Not significant at all.

Why would folks call him an "uncle Tom" for voicing a disagreement about Obama's usage of teleprompters?

BTW, I wasn't "shrieking" but if assuming things out of the air is your ONLY argument....guess that's what you have to use...
When you type in all caps, it does give the appearance of one yelling or shrieking.
BTW: I agree with you that "black" should have been omitted from the title as it really does not serve a purpose.

Default White speaker agrees with use of a Teleprompter

This title is just as stupid.

Obviously, the OP was playing race.

Is that similar to you thinking that anyone who disagrees with you is stupid?
