Yeah. That's it. No big deal. I think I'll sing that song, the next time I see a transvestite or transsexual and see if people think I'm a scumbag.

Are you purposely being obtuse or are you just toeing the party line?

I am not being obtuse and I am not toeing any line. I am stating my real beliefs on this issue. I just did not see it as offensive. Someone else may and I don't invalidate that. The same way some found Phil Robertson's statements offensive and others did not.

Now on a slightly different issue I DID find the behavior of some on the left who said that the Romneys should not have named the baby Kieran because it means black (or dark) to be offensive. Now those comments were racist and offensive.

And I agree (without the oversized lettering). All racists are scumbags.

Some people see the world only through a prism of white conservative racism.

I most wholeheartedly agree and I really dislike that in people who do it.

I saw that on Yahoo.
Boy, that's pretty low trying to attack Mitt Romney by using a black baby who just happens to be his grandson.
What did those people think they were going to prove by that?
The only thing they proved was how ignorant they were.

It's another fake scandal from the ALEC/ Don Black playbook. Manufactured outrage.

I read the article. Then I actually watched and listened to that segment of the show before drawing a conclusion.

Did you actually watch and listen to the segment of show before drawing your conclusion?

It was not hard to hear. I clearly heard one of the commentators sing "one of these things is not like the others." But she did not say the child did not belong here. I also clearly heard others call the baby "cute" and "most gorgeous." These are hardly the words of people attempting to "mock" a child for being black. (BTW- they are right he IS a very beautiful child.)

If anyone was offended, they should have apologized. That would be the decent thing to do, but the child is adopted, and black and looks different from his adopted family. I know some people like to say "I don't see color."That's actually a myth and a lie. We ALL see color and we should. (after all skin color the most obvious things about being black.) We just shouldn't treat others differently because of it.

Like I said, if anyone was offended then apologies should have been given and they were. But to say these are the words of a scumbag racist? Not even close.

My initial reaction to reading this was disgust. But, I don't watch the Melissa Harris Perry Show and I didn't hear the comments. I Googled it and watched it on youtube. I watched it and listened carefully 3 times. What was the racist part? I must have missed it. What exactly did they say that was racist? Here's the link to it.

MHP show

By watching the video in your link, I realized that you didn't read the initial article.

The offensive bit from the show was hard to hear; I'll grant you that. However, had you read the article I linked to, they spelled it out for you:

quote:

"One of these things is not like the others, one of these things just isn’t the same,” panelist Pia Glenn offered as a caption for the photo, which the Romneys tweeted on Christmas Eve. (Lyrics of the original Sesame Street song are, “One of these things just doesn’t belong.”)

“And that little baby, front and center, would be the one,” Glenn said.

This fine example of humanity was mocking a baby because the baby was black; because it "wasn't the same". What an ignoramus.

Fair being fair; I found this apology to be authentic (although contrary to what was said there was a qualifier).

Perry Apologizes

Kudos to the young lady for giving one of the most genuine apologies to come out of a sewer under a PMSNBC, PPL's nose in a long time.
