A Senator called obama a boy. He meant nothing by it.But still had to apologize?

Tired of what?

The inherent racism that pervades this country or having to apologize for being exposed using a racial epithet?

Halli: What's PC about degrading someone with a historically racist label?

I am sure that he meant nothing by it, as I often refer to our friends as oys and Girls, even though they are grow. However, someone who is black may well take offense to that and rightly so, as that was a term used in the slave days to refer to them in a negative way.

Yes, I think we are all living in the 21st century or so I have been told. All those old racial slurs are not meant that way in our society today, at least not by the majority of the people.

You're the one who's peddling the bull. It was an insulting and demeaning comment. Of course he meant something by it. That's why he had to apologize. His apology should put the matter to rest so why are you making a fuss about it. Do you believe offensive and demeaning racial comments are proper?

why the he!!should he have to apologize to Obama? Besides Obama loooks like a skinny 18 year old who doesn't have the sense to come out of the rain>.Yes, I'm damn tired of all the $h!t!

Here's a thought: maybe a politician should grow a pair and not back down. It's called leadership.

A southern congressman didn’t realize that it’s offensive to refer to an African American man as a boy? I guess it just slipped out. He should have apologized. What’s your point?

The senator must have been white and the statement must have had racial implications. When is Rev. Wrong going to have to apologize to white America for what he said??

In the south everyone is called "boy". I'm getting tired of it too.

^^ Yeah If I was a senator I would call Obama straight out as racist son of a *****...

The only sorry he would get is me grabbing my nut sack and shaking it at him.

Yes i am tired of it he should have called him a N.... boy.
