re: #119 DaddyG

Point taken, I can see how you might have interpreted it as being racist, but that’s not what I meant at all. What I meant is that all the hip-hop talk, his use of street slang etc, is typical of how some people stereotype blacks, and it’s like he’s trying too hard to emphasise his race. I personally don’t believe that’s anything like a typical African-American, and I’m not a fan of pigeon-holing people of any race/nationality anyway.

I do however believe that the RNC elected him as a token gesture to the African-American community to try and counter Obama.
