Oh? Many black people at that game, were there?

So only black people are qualified to make the judgement that Bush hates black people? Only black people are qualified to comment on the validity of it?

I am not black, but I think slavery was wrong. I guess I am not qualified to make that value judgement.

I am not jewish, but I think it is obvious that Yassir Arafat hated jews. I guess I am not qualified to make that value judgement.

As I am neither black nor jewish, I guess I am unqualifed to comment on David Duke.

And as you are not black, ISM, I guess you are unqualified to call Kanye's comment "pertinent".

Now of course, those last four statements are ridiculous, as is the implication that only black people can make a judgement as to the validity of Kanye's comment.

Overreaction, scaeagles ... but yes, I would find the determination that a lot of people are hostile to Kayne's statement to be bogus if those people were not black.

Just saying that most "people" are hostile to the statement is meaningless, since most people are not black. Yeah, I find the opinions of non-blacks to be without supreme consideration in this instance.

In fact, I think it would be very telling to find out just who is hostile to West's statement and who isn't. Very illuminating if white people are hostile, black people aren't, or conservatives are hostile and liberals aren't. I bet George Bush was hostile to that statement, but that's just the point.

I don't think it would be all that illuminating... we can pretty much EXPECT that to be the case, and you know it. Those who find Bush criticism politically expedient will not be offended, and those who don't like Bush criticism will say that it's not the time or place for such statements.

There is no way to tell who is "right" just from that assessment.

Well, while not scientific in the least, the game was in Massachusetts, a state not extremely friendly to Bush or conservatives. However, it was at an NFL game, and while I have nothing other than assumption to go by, I would suspect a majority of attendees at an NFL game would be right leaning.

I sure hope the telethon was as entertaining as this thread.
