Mammary glands cause concern, the extreme disrespect shown the U.S. flag by Kid Rock didn't even get a double-take from the conservatives. Worrying about insult doesn't involve worrying about getting things right. It's brainless all the way around.Ed Darrellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10056539160596825210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10348701.post-1158885653127385872006-09-21T17:40:00.000-07:002006-09-21T17:40:00.000-07:00Token (?) minority liberal here.

I'm not at all a Condi fan (although I don't think she's evil, just incompetent) but I don't think this joke was racist, just a really, really stupid move on the professor's part.<BR/><BR/>I'd feel the same whether it was Condi, Jesse Jackson, or MLK that the joke was made about.La Maestrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09647822525896026705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10348701.post-1158634088537743912006-09-18T19:48:00.000-07:002006-09-18T19:48:00.000-07:00What I find peculiar is that if instead of Ms. Ric...What I find peculiar is that if instead of Ms. Rice, Jesse Jackson was used as the person in the question, there is no doubt that racism complaints would be lodged and he would lose his job. Political roles are not ethnic roles, although many in power would prefer that they were. I find this type of reasoning offensive. And the question was just plain stupid to begin with. That is what they professor should be charged with, formulating a test using facetious material.Ellen Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02845981491726296767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10348701.post-1158518912183485922006-09-17T11:48:00.000-07:002006-09-17T11:48:00.000-07:00Okay.
