If a republican or a conservative had said the same thing the black community would be up in arms to condemn them. Where is Jackson and Sharpton? Oh that's right, Edwards is a democrat so he cannot be a racist.  Only white conservatives are racists. BTW, coming from a black southern family, I have more racists in my family than I have ever come across when dealing with white conservatives. Just like Sharpton and Jackson, who I believe are nothing but haters and race pot stirrers, most blacks are racists to some degree. They have this hold back from slavery where they still blame whites for something that happened over a 150 years ago. I am glad that my mother and father were smart enough to see that people are responsible for there own actions and not blame someone else for their social position in life. Too bad some of my family members are not bright enough to realize this even after many heated debates between my family and the rest of my extended family..... but I guess me having a Zebra wife and light skinned children doesnt help the way the fell the racist MF'ers who I happen to share the same blood with...... Excellent post. You say stuff like this, and I find myself agreeing with you. Applaud for you. I once worked with a man who was the most racist POS I had ever known. When I called him on it once he told me 'I can't be racist, I'm black!' Totally blew me away, I wasn't even sure what to say to a delusion like that...

Yes, that is what my racist family calls her.....the one time my cousin had the balls to call her that in person was the time he sat in the emergency room with a fat lip and a couple cracked ribs.....
[/quote] Just curious Dogface, did you change your cousins perception and opinion of your wife by sending him to the hospital or did it make him more angry and racist?

Oh that's right, Edwards is a democrat so he cannot be a racist.  Only white conservatives are racists. Edwards was not being racist, but rather presenting his view on the social status of African Americans. He then continues by stating ideas to improve this status, an initiative that a Republican would be unable to do.

He is saying most black men are behind bars and if we dont do anything soon they will ALL be dead or in jail which is 100% wrong. Take a look at Edwards campaign staff and tell me how many are black?

Probably not too many, considering they're all in jail...

I don't know. How many? Do you know? Are we talking about his national staff? Or breaking it down by state?

If this doesn't prove to everyone that basically every single candidate is so out of touch with reality, I don't know what will.

Where is Jackson and Sharpton? How about Obama? Where is the entire slice of the left who were so incensed when Bill Bennett criticised the authors of freakonmics? He noted that their analysis was amoral by noting that if you identified AA's a disproportionately perpetrators of crime, it still would not excuse aborting all AA pregnancies,a fundamentally immoral act, but was excoriated for repeating the premise underlying the freakonomics point. Oh that's right, Edwards is a democrat so he cannot be a racist.  Only white conservatives are racists. Indeed. The wave of rationalisation above indicates that that the extraordinarily critical examination of conservative and moderate speech for traces of racism is unserious. If ever there were evidence of the soft bigotry of low expectations, it would be complaining that prosecuting crimes would result in all black men being incarcerated. It certainly indicates Edwards' off the cuff assessment of the content of their character.
