John Edwards was "reaching above his station" back in 2004.

Of course, since he's white, that's not a racist comment ...


That's because nobody said it. They might have said he came from a humble background, but when you say "his station" it implies where he permanently belongs.

It you were applying for a job and the interviewer told you it was "above your station in life", what would you think? Honestly.

JF, > That's the thing... "reaching above his station" does. Saying he lacks experience doesn't.

Do you use the word nigger when you are talking to people?

Did anyone say that in 2004?
