Ted took it one step further and started to lecture people on why Obama was not black.


And many of the "left" seem incapable of understanding how offensive that is ... even as they shroud themselves in the paraphrased and reiterated the words of other Black folks, in order to give ... thinking it gives validity to the claim (yes, you Dr. West ... and by the way, I'm looking at you, too, Thomas Sowell and Michael Steele, - though you two are huddling with the gop).

The rest of the world, and especially the non whites in America (we who WILL become the majority) do not hate whites, but we are getting really tired of having to cater to their anger, fear, and yes, to quote to paraphrase Obama, bitterness, especially because extending a hand in solidarity is likely to get a gun drawn on us.
