My feeling is he means either describing someone as "black" instead of "African Amercian" or he's referring to the Santorum comment. I'd just rather skip the games and get to the point.

Oh come on. I love my tight little short black dresses. Now they are racist. I'm hurt, do not have a racist bone in me.

But it is the hot red dress, low cut that gets me into trouble.

The ability to accurately convey a thought is not necessarily a hallmark of the PnC

I can hear the non-black dresses in my closet contemplating rebellion as I type this....of course, the red dress is the ringleader.
The sequined ones have already declared themselves neutral.

So sequined dresses are essentially the fashion equivalent of Switzerland.

If someone uses the term African American instead of black they are racist in disguise (my opinion)
