Jesse Jackson sure wasn't when he was caught using the word off air when talking about Obama. He apologized, nothing more. There's a huge double standard with racism. Some people truly believe that you have to be white to be racist.
I believe Obama to be of higher class than Jackson and doubt he would use that word. He has made some questionable generalizations regarding 'White man's greed' and it's effect on minorities. Is that racist?
Again, I think you have to be white to be labeled publicly as a racist.
Great post by the way, Jayems. There are other examples that further support your historical analysis of those slang combat terms.
