@ Eric:
Sorry, hon, it’s an adjective AND a noun.
ew, i don’t even know why you bother posting things like this. it brings out the reverse-race mongers in droves—you know the ones who actually believe that rush limbaugh and glenn beck are somehow “disadvantaged” and that obama becoing president somehow signals the destruction of the good old boy network that they someday wish to be a part of? beleive me folks, no one is threating the dominance of the white male in american society. take a look at the senate and the ceos of fortune 500 companies if you don’t believe me and find something constructive to rant and rave about.
I like you.
I second that emotion. Can I also ask everybody to visit the dictionary and look up the word racism?
Yikes- that is beyond gaffe. Oh and here:

There- now calm down.
Amazing how many closet racists there are who consider any comparison or clumping-together of any two black people to be racist. For pity’s sake, had the joke been made that the equally annoying Britney Spears and Lindsay Lohan were interchangable, would there have been outcries of racism because they’re both young, white girls? When two people assume the same public role, have the same views, are often seen together, same the same things, etc., it’s logical (and amusing) to call them interchangable. Unless, according to some dimwits, they happen to be of African descent?
“Amazing how many closet racists there are who consider any comparison or clumping-together of any two black people to be racist.”
this statement makes absolutely NO sense.
FAIL.
What the hell are you talking about?
More nonsense from an NBC-owned station that nobody ever watches.
