@NoDowdAboutIt: I don't know if I can have a conversation with someone who uses the word "douchenozzle" Read more

@The Paint by Numbers View: So you are of the opinion that when OTHER PEOPLE say things racially tinged and someone else calls them out on it, they are the ones "playing the race card"? Do you not see how unbelievably BACKWARDS that is? Read more

@Charlotte Corday: Aww, "my handsome boy" - that's adorable :) Read more

@lermanzo: Actually, I have never once said that "she is a racist" - but I do think that her campaign has race-baited in an attempt to marginalize Obama and win the nomination. I do believe this. Read more

@lermanzo: I don't feel like explaining it all over again. Read this comment. @Megan Carpentier Read more

@lermanzo: HA! Imagine that! Read more

@Megan Carpentier: And yet, for finding the term racist, YOU are "playing the race card" or being too sensitive... Read more

@lermanzo: Words are rooted in history. And Bill Clinton, who called Obama a "kid", grew up in the South. It's for damn sure that he understands the root of his words. Read more

@lermanzo: Because a man of 47 is not a kid. And calling a Black man a "kid" is akin to calling him a "boy" - common practice during slavery. Read more

@marin79: I was referring to the Jesse Jackson quote. Read more

@SinisterRouge: Dude, stay and debate! It's fun! And no one called you a racist Read more

@SinisterRouge: That's where I disagree with you. By being Black and viewing racism when it exists, you are NOT playing the race card. Read more

@SinisterRouge: haha, I feel you. At least we can agree on something! ;) Read more

@rosasparks: Hardees! Forgot about that place! I'd say, as the article suggests, we sit in front of Popeyes. Read more

@SinisterRouge: AHHH - How did Obama's campaign do that? Obama never even introduced race into the conversation until that Bill Clinton quote... you know the one. And somehow it's Obama and his supporters' fault for taking everything "racially"? No way. Read more

@SinisterRouge: I don't think that was her point - and if it was, then that sucks. But what I took from her comments is that we need to stop talking about one demographic or another within the democratic party and work to unite party Read more

@gold_gato: No, it's funny :) Read more

@SinisterRouge: Many Black people (not ALL, but many) believe that HRC and her campaign has race-baited and marginalized Black voters, thus pushing them away. Just read the Jack and Jill Politics article that CH links to up top. You may disagree, but that's how many Black people feel. Read more

@SinisterRouge: Tell me, by actively campaigning in white, working-class neighborhoods, by drinking crappy beer and bowling (terribly), how is he ignoring the problem? Read more

Ack - well I guess I'm the only one arguing from this angle today on CH... which is fine. No matter what we get into, ladies, you all know I love you Read more
