ONLY A REPUBLICAN COULD BE SO STUPID...
Rick... Rick... Rick. Are you from the south?
First of all, "Boy" to a southerner is a colloquialism, and generally a friendly (or at least not disrespectful) one at that. I grow weary of hearing what words can and cannot be used by people of one race to refer to another when people of that race use it to refer to themselves.
I'm so very tired of this racial nonsense around Barack, a man who is himself of mixed heritage and raised, in fact, by "typical white people".
How much did Obama get right in his little rant? I fail to see how this proves what he got "right" at all, except perhaps the fear of people who look different portion - and even then, it's a serious allegation to claim that Davis has racist sentiments towards all blacks.
No, this comment is not nearly as serious as Obama's. Davis' comment was, at worst, a single word slip-up because he is a) a southerner who speaks that way about everyone and b) obviously not aware of the latest verboten terms. Obama's comments reveal an entire mindset which has been thoroughly dissected elsewhere.
The media, however, will spin Davis' comments entirely out of proportion. That's what they do best. But jumping on that bandwagon shows a lack of judgment, in my opinion.
