Mitt "Hey buddy! How’s it going? What’s happening? You got some bling bling here!”

[Sean of the Thread]

Rofl. Reminds me of George Sr. at the supermarket acting like he knew how to buy groceries.

I started to post about that until I remembered the 11th Commandment, but now that you've committed the sin, I have to say that I agree. That was the dumbest thing I've seen in a while. It wasn't just the "bling bling," it was also the thing about "who let the dogs out." If that was an attempt to ingratiate himself with blacks, I imagine most black people were insulted.

[Celephais]

I felt embarassed watching that.

[Parkbandit]

You guys need to lighten up... I really didn't find any of it offensive or embarassing.

He's a stiff white guy... I'm pretty sure he will always be a stiff white guy.

[Clove]

If that was an attempt to ingratiate himself with blacks, I imagine most black people were insulted.

Or amused.

[Sean]

I wasn't insulted I just thought he looked ridiculous.

Ease up on the guy who wouldn't share a cab with a homey, let alone stand next to one in public ... trying to pander for black votes.

Had he been black ... he'd be accused of using the race card.

Or if he was white, he would be accused of being a racist... like you just did.

No, not in the least.

It's not his world. He's just trying to put his face into a community he has no association with. It's called pandering.

[BigWorm]

Yeah, he likes black people. Especially their votes (like he's going to get many of them...)

[Parkbandit]

No, not in the least.

Actually, it's called you accusing him of being a racist.

If I came out and said "I would never ride in a cab with a black man" or "I would never stand next to a black man in public".. I'm pretty sure 9 out of 10 people would consider me a racist.

Which is exactly what you just claimed him as. Here is your quote if you've forgotten:

[Savageheart]

He probably couldn't relate to a anyone middle class let alone near the poverty line but racist seems a bit much .

I'll go ahead and assume he's elitist but then I assume all politicians are either this or brick dumb puppets.

On the surface, Romney reminds me of Kerry.
