  1. "it is racist because he is white" (quoting green ben). That says it all.

  2. Wasn't it a private meeting between the president and some congressmen without tv cameras and microphones where the word everyone's up in arms about was said? If anyone deserves blame here it's the congressman who was invited to attend and then couldn't wait to rush out and tattle to the press so they could spread what the president may or may not have said around.

  3. This is what US politics has sunk to: showy emotion and a focus on taking offense at language. God help America!

  4. green ben, you need to find a dictionary and check the meaning of 'racist'; it's not what you think it is. --- And if "white people run the us from what their Ancestors did", as you say, what are congressmen and congresswomen of colour doing with their time and how did they get elected? I'm not an American and it's not my fight, so you find out if they're running the country or not.

  5. Ildefonso Sosa, it's too easy to blame all countries' woes on colonization. Haiti became independent in 1804, Singapore in 1965, yet they're vastly different countries on almost all social and economic indicators. Even the Dominican Republic, on the same island as Haiti, which gained independence from Spain in 1821 surpasses Haiti on almost all social and economic indicators. This isn't "racism", it's historical fact.
