What i mean is, i bet Dawg (or whatever his name is, not a fan of the show either) has and has had in the past more close black friends than most white people (and most of the people here) will ever have. Probably hundreds of times more.

How can someone with loads of Black friends who drops the N-bomb (like most of his black friends do ALL of the time no doubt) be considered more racist than a bunch of caucasian FOX-news republicans in their gated American communities who are looking for a news story? People who would have comparatively FAR fewer black friends, especially black friends who are part of the larger 'black culture' of the United States?

This Dawg guy can SOUND racist but ACT not racist. While others can SOUND not racist all day long but then ACT racist in their elitest lifestyle choices?



Still no excuse though....

Claeren.
How does living in a gated community and voting Republican make someone racist?
