I rest my case...I can't imagine what context you are looking for that would make it ok...here's the man himself. I think the context is important. There is no doubt the response Obama had to the Gates incident was racist. He assumed that Gates was mistreated BECAUSE HE WAS BLACK. When, in fact, he was treated as he was because he was acting like a thug. That's racism. Does it MAKE him a racist that he was a racist in this incident? I don't think so. Just as I don't believe Mark Fuhrman's use of the n-word was racist. I find insidious racism -- such as Obama's or tejek's, to be far more offensive. But I guess Beck can make that call on his own.
