I'm not racist, so it's OK if I use racist phrases.
Listen. I don't want to sound racist. Because I'm not racist! The fact that I used a racist phrase in reference to a black president has nothing to do with it. I have called Obama a lot of things. This is just another one of them.
Is it racist if I tell my part-Yupik daughter to stop the shuck and jive? Is it racist if I do it while wearing blackface? Is it racist if my part-Yupik daughter puts on whiteface? How does this work, because seriously I want to know. I don't understand the first thing about why people get offended about racial stuff. Probably because I grew up in a state that is, like, 99 percent white.
