9. No, it was a racist joke and was hardly funny. Obama is trying to get points for being black.

12. It might
have been a racial joke, not racist but racial, and it was funny.

Lighten up, Francis.

22. I disagree
You can be a liberal Democrat and still enjoy Richard Prior, Blazing Saddles, and Chris Rock, and Jeff Foxworthy. Jewish comedians have done Jewish Jokes, and Margaret Cho does jokes about Asians.

Are Richard Prior, Jeff Foxworthy, Mel Brooks, and Margaret Cho all racist?

Puleze.

in what is happening in this discussion.

28. I don't disqualify the best candidate because of her family.
Obama is in over his head as a senator & should not be considered for president.

29. The best candidate?
You mean the best candidate to mobilize the Republicans against us.

They'll run John McCain, who can get independent votes, the "Reagan Democrats," and we run the most hated woman in America with very high negatives?

30. Hillary will win. Obama will go down in flames once the Republicans attack.
Have you heard that there are many racists out there who would NEVER vote for a "colored fellow".

27. Sigh
It was a joke.

And I bet $1,000,000 that you are white. You're using a Republican definition of racist. Do you believe affirmative action is "reverse discrimination against whites" too?

2. It was said very good naturedly and was part of a larger speech. Taking out of context
belongs in the neighboring forum, not here. Most here try to be more fair than that,

11. I didn't hear the original context.
It just seemed like another statement in the long line of crap that's coming from all directions today. That's why I self deleted.

19. He was making a joke out of the way people expect women to
vote for Hilary, black people for him and white men for John. And, he got a laugh from the audience and from both on stage.

because Obama is charming but I also felt it was a direct diss to Edwards and Edwards knows it.

It's kind of a joke to begin with.
