A few of us were discussing this earlier in the week. An interesting point, but boy oh boy when it's the "other" way, usually it's ok. I have no idea if it was, wasn't, should have been, etc. Just wondering.......

That's a good point because if it was reversed the Reverends Jessie and Al would be yapping away! I feel like Jimmy Carter (who I used to really respect) is being a racist stating that if someone doesn't agree with Obamas policies it's because the president is black . 1) That's just a plain racist comment and 2) It implies IMHO that no one is smart enough to research his policies/programs and form an educated opinion on it-they just assume something because they are racist. I find what he said very offensive.
