If I knew how to put the link in my message, I would. (I just may have to figure it out)
Okay ...I'm done. |
Now, all he needs to say is "some of my best friends are Black."

People say all sorts of things when they are talking to family and friends/acquaintances. No big deal. He should've kept his comments out of the context of police officer + email correspondence. Same with Obama keeping his opinions out of the context of POTUS + reporters.
What bothers me is the influx of these unimportant things in the media. I think certain things should be under-known or at least be relegated to TMZ and Inside Edition. I don't need to see it on CNN, etc. If they insist on reporting it, it should be a news snippet. There HAS to be a hierarchy of "news" as to not make America even dumbererer than it is.
