probably use affectionately.

I guess the definition of racism shifts with the name of the candidate.

It is inappropriate for white people to say what POC say to each other that POC take as affectionate teasing. It looked awkward.

It wasn't an off the cuff moment. If Bernie had been the one on the stage people would be losing their minds.

...and yet Hillaryans are trying to use his wonderful family as a defense against this stupid and racist joke he was apparently dragged into.

This is Hillarys 47% gaffe.

what in FUCK is WRONG with you?

Get a fucking grip...

there are things you can say in private with family and close friends and stuff you can say in public -most of us have the sense to know the difference

to call our mayor a racist.

It was the mayor. Nice try, though.

"Oh, CP time really meant something else that I shouldn't be upset about."

And to think some people consider her to be qualified...

..is the acceptance here on DU of the "joke" by Hillary supporters.

A new low.

Bill's #BLM horrorshow, this nonsense from de Blasio, etc...don't they realize they still need AA voters in NY and CA?

..that the Clintons are now signaling white voters with racist tendencies that they should come on board the Hillary train.

And they have had that conversation with their son. I have heard this same joke from local PoC. It is not politically expedient, I will grant you this. But especially the local PoC of a certain age, that be 30 and bellow, don't particularly like the Clintons. And that expression is common among them.

private, that's up to them but it's not cool to do so in public.

That was a weird little joke, but why lie and make it worse?

Alternatively, "the South already voted, so whatever."

It would turn out brilliantly.

across the country would mostly be unaware that DeBlasio and his family SHARE this JOKE that is commonly made in the black community.

What's with the overthetop 'outrage'?

But given that the latest from the Hillary camp appears to be to pretend Bernie saying he has serious questions about Hillary's judgment based on her past positions and voting record is somehow sexist, I'm going to have to say that this skit was racist.

I'm not sure what idiot thought 2 white people yucking it up about CP time would be good for a laugh. Particularly when Bill Clinton was known for never being on time for anything.

At least it shows that the man has done some reading.
