    Interesting anecdote. Obama is now getting some racist support?

    Is Pennsylvania still living in the 19th century?

    How is this argument valid in the 21st century US?

    well if they were actually racist i don't think they would vote for Obama. Do you think racists are smart enough to understand tax credits?


    my guess is thats just what they call african americans all the time and don't think much of it.

    When you call someone something derogatory and not think much of it, that's an even more insidious form of racism than using the term to be derisive. That means it's become ingrained in your way of thinking. It was exactly like that when I grew up in East Texas in the 50's and 60's.

    But there is no one in the US in 2008 that doesn't know n***** is an overtly racist term.

    like every other documentary, it clearly does not speak for everyone, but it is an interesting look in to the word.

    Do you really believe that? What year was Tom Sawyer written? What year is it now? Earth to CaseyH: People in the year 2008 that use the n-word know the connotations. You may have had a point if this was the mid-1800s.

    In a weird way you're not far off the truth. The good reverend was definitely damming the type of America Jorgie believes in.

    Let me repeat the question: Do you think racists are smart enough to understand tax credits?

    uhm . . YEA
    They are RACISTS . . that means to an extent STUPID
    that DOES NOT ME they are ignorant

    Stupid = knows better but does it anyway
    Ignorant = Don't know better

    They are STUPID . . not IGNORANT
    Calling them Ignorant lets them off the hook
