IMHO, JD did cross way over the line with the dinner comment. That is not in keeping with what I have seen him as over the years. He came back and admitted as much and apologized (which is more in keeping with what I would expect from him).
That being said, I would hearken back to the thread I started asking whether the right was actually trying to make it impossible to be black and a GOP supporter. I think that was when Limbaugh (who is pretty influential and consequential) called the President a "little boy". I think by now, anybody in the public spotlight has to know how those types of statements will be perceived by a lot of people. There is simply too much precedence to ignore.
To go on national TV with AL Sharpton of all people...AL Sharpton and throw that out there is either calculated or incredibly insensitive...
I've got to run

In my opinion, Al Sharpton is an opportunist and a racist and has zero credibility.
In my opinion, Barack Obama is a socialist, a racist, iscontrolled and supported by very questionable people, and is completely inept and clueless. He foments racial and class division, and intends to turn the United States into a second class socialist state like Greece.
In my opinion, Pat Buchanan is a conservative who often speaks without thinking.
For real, the disrespect this President is enduring is absolutely insulting to the core!
Pee on me and tell me it's raining....
As a registered liberal extremist. You rant about Obama being disrespected. He made promises to charge prosperity and growth.
All Obama has done is disrespecting. He gets up every morning and thinks of ways to blame and disrespect the previous administration and get by with doing nothng, (except another round of golf)
BTW what ha the GOP done to make them racist? anyone know?
Nothing, all in the DEMS imagination,trying to cover their own tracks.Trying to start a race war ,its why they are weak on illegals ,they think all blacks and hispanics should vote DEM. if they hand them enough govt. doleoutsasnd too many of the balcks and hispanics agree.One local DEM. said in my state" the role of govt is to make people better",when in fact the role of govt. is to get out of the way and let people make themselves better.
Dagwood's remarks have nothing to do with the discussion of the race-tinged disrespect that plagues the GOP publicly.
Does anyone remember the Haorld Ford Jr race in Tennessee?
He was in the lead in his race-- but then the GOP did what?
Limbaugh?
Lamborn?
Buchanan?
The Retired Air Force General on Fox News during a Sunday morning talk show?
There are others-- most of these offenses happening in the less than 4 years since President Obama has been elected.
Still, the GOP does not have a race problem....
Charnock presents a good point; I, too, sense racism from the very beginning. So, when you speak of issues that include "us" vs "them" with color of skin mentioned, yes, it will very much so appear as a race-card discussion. You opened the thread and others have chimed in to swing the pendullum the other way.
