Did Lou Dobbs fuck up, or was his "slip" a signal the MSM will attempt to de-PC race? |
|
Tinfoil I know, but what if they're trying to push or redefine the boundaries so McCain is unshackled to arouse the fear and latent racism in Americans?
Cue the theremin <scary> :tinfoilhat:

well, Dobbs is not the most PC tool in the shed, but I can see different interpretations, in addition to the racist one.

3. I suspect Lou utters the words Cotten picking without considering |
|
the potential implications as do many people. He caught himself on this occasion, albiet a wee bit too late.

5. he knows it was racial and was saying it as a racial slur. That is why he caught himself and |
|
started to even get animated to take attention away from his near bigotted attack on Obama and Rice.

7. Sorry I disagree on this one...he uses the term all the time.... |
|
I'm no Lou fan...but in this case, I don't think he was using it as a racial slur..but he did catch himself ...and I don't blame him..he would have been roasted...even though the guy says the term all the time when referencing politicians and what goes in Washington and Corp. America, in general.

8. Cotton pickin' is a replacement for profanity |
|
I grew up and live in the south. I have never heard it in any context used as a racial slur.
It is like saying "gosh darn."
Just corny.

11. Using the term "cotton-picking" to describe black people is highly unadvisable |
