Should not be either? That does not make any sense. Was the joke about her in particular.

It's the whitesplaining that I'm seeing here that I find incredibly offensive. I do feel the need to point out she didn't make the joke. Mayor DiBlasio did.

134. The whole thing was scripted. She was in on the joke.

She was a willing participant and it showed bad judgment on her part.

I don't think you have to be black to see that.

if Mayor DiBlasio and his black wife weren't offended, why should she be. I do love how it took 2 days for me to figure out she didn't even make the joke - Mayor DiBlasio did. That's how dishonest the Bernie people are. I guess calling him a racist doesn't fit their agenda. As for me? I've heard that type of joke before - every time I go to Greece and show up anywhere on time.

Those that don't have a sense of humor whine about what others joke about.

PS - I thought you said the other day you put me on ignore.

....and we also joke about me being a skinny old bald guy.

Aren't there more important things going on in this country to complain about?

122. It was an event similar to the White House Correspondents' Dinner, on a smaller scale.

Have you watched any of those?

Obama jokingly insulting Trump, McCain, Boehner, etc.?

all three were aware of it and if you hadn't noticed the one person appeared to be of the black
race. I had to Google it never heard of CP time before. The second one I have no idea what that was about.

Just like Bernie, you rant about certain topics without having any clue of what you're talking about. Do you have any idea how ridiculous you sound? Then again, who is your target audience for this latest "outrage?" Certainly not people of color, as that phrase is used quite often. And yes, certain people get a pass. Hint: NOT BernieBros. Deal with it!

I'm not sure if that was meant to be sarcasm, but this is kind of what my previous post referred to--

I'd have no problem if the pope were to endorse Bernie. I do have a problem with someone lying about it, as that's sleazy and desperate. Kim Davis had the pope's ear, ffs. Does that mean he endorsed her reelection?

I have posted that "We Came, We Saw, He Died" clip a number of times.

Even if Gaddafi was the worst of the worst and directly attacking Americans, Hillary Clinton's gloating was unbecoming and evidence in and of itself that Hillary Clinton does not have the character to be POTUS nor CIC.
