I have to be sure: are you calling the president a mongrel? If you are, are you calling him one because of his mixed-race heritage?

 

right, although this crime is serious, a white guy gets robbed by 4 black guys in an attempted robbery isn't that outrageous, i was expecting something like these 4 guys like tortured this guy or something. unless there are more facts to this case, i wouldn't get any more upset about this crime than any other murder.

in no way do i mean to offend this man's name, it's a sad situation, i feel bad for the family.

 

what does James Byrd have to do with this story?

 

I am also wondering what that was about.

 

Here is the ABC clip of President Obama on "The View." Go to the 17:50 mark and in a discussion about race, Obama used the word "mongrel."

giddyup providing the rationale for basso within the context of this thread makes the circle complete.

and so it goes...

 

don't let the facts get in your way, okay? :grin:

 

I really don't want to insult anyone here, but I suspect you have a screw loose if you are asking that question.

You are comparing that to this? Wow. Just wow.

 

Followed by...

Way to latch on to a somewhat questionable word choice and dismiss the greater message being conveyed.

 

As Sarah Palin would say, Basso likes to engage in, "Gotcha politics" wink wink.

 

What in the flying f*** does James Byrd Jr. have to do with this?

 

You are an ass.

 

Nothing, without basso's transparent and clumsy race baiting. Cause, I'm sure he's really surprised that in New York he hadn't heard about a murder in Mobile, AL.

 

This is probably why your daughter dislikes black nannies.

 

People get murdered all the time, basso.

The circumstances of a murder usually dictate the coverage it gets.

This doesn't seem like an extraordinary or unusual circumstance.

Do you understand this concept?

 

If you want civil debate stop being so incendiary.
