The pretty black boy? That's a reference to Carter? I don't see it. What it is, is someone using Carter as an excuse to post what he obviously would have liked to have posted earlier. I don't read all your thread- but I hit that post and thought I'd be sick. That is not referring to anything- that is racism- virulent and ugly, and it is indefensible. You see- Carter was only telling the "truth" when he called Obama a black boy- and that makes it a great name to use for Obama. Yeah. Sure. That makes it SO much better. Your "regulars" do so much name calling I can't imagine how you'd see anyone there as a victim, and I have zero interest in your personal conflicts- it has nothing to do with my comments here about the black boy posts. Calling Obama a black boy, as that poster did several times, is horrible- and it's obvious he's enjoying himself. I am truly amazed you think there is no racial epithet in that post below. Do you really believe that? Message 24893286 I really don't see how you can read the post I have copied here and not feel sickened too. "The pretty BLACK BOY has no story and has disgusting friends. In that the stupidest and only relatively honest former dem president describes the current fool of the dems as a BLACK BOY, that will my appropriate name for the phony." Darn that Carter for making that guy on your thread post that. Goodness, talk about not taking responsibility. Rarely have I been so shocked on SI- first by the post, and now by your defense of it. Truly, you have surprised me. I thought you were all too ashamed of the comments to post- but that if they were mentioned you would repudiate them. Apparently not.
