wow dude

aren't we all though at this point?

[jeffmccutcheon]

seems like that would apply to many in this country but I'm sure the media will run with the story.

[ojo]

Missing pieces...

When asked about his background, which includes a black father and white mother, Obama said of African-Americans: "We are sort of a mongrel people."

"I mean we're all kinds of mixed up," Obama said. "That's actually true of white people as well, but we just know more about it."

The president did not appear to be making an inflammatory remark with his statement. The definition of mongrel as an adjective is defined as "of mixed breed, nature, or origin," according to dictionary.com.

People are going nutso over it right now - regardless of how benign the context was

Those pesky definitions... pretty horrible that we have to use a dictionary when we decipher the pres's comments!

Oh, I know, it'll take off in a big way, but I'm just shedding some more opaque light on the matter.

newborn eyes always cry at the sun.

at some point peeps will learn to stop being so sensitive over the dumbest [expletive].

[dr. moneyshot]

In fact the only non-mongrels still walking about are probably all in-bred and weird looking

Deliverance style...

[jeffmccutcheon]

I don't see that happening soon. If anything, it gets worse by the year.
