She’s a Democrat, so its okay to be racist.

[brytlea]

Actually, it seems to me, that her problem was she could not use whatever term she would have used in private, because she thought it might be offensive.

[doodad]

Back in that day, here in GA, none of those words would have applied. Negro would have been the word and with no disrespect meant or taken. What a bunch of tools.

Like I told a black friend, “You’re Rick, nothing else. And damn big enough if I am in trouble I want you there.”

Pelosi giving a history lesson is scary. Were they pole vaulting in their “oshgoshes” to get a better view, Nancy? You crazy!

[Touch Not the Cat]

.
She is truly a stu-pid person.

How the heck does someone like that get elected to Congress — let alone end up in a leadership position>

[Ann Archy]

Whatever the name was in those days.....LOL!!!!!

[raybbr]

What's an "African-American"? Really, what is it?

I really despise that term.

[muawiyah]

Did you see how she was afraid to say “Cracker”?

[Tupelo]

As I have stated many times, Democrats are racist.
They spend their entire life thinking about race and making “Civil Rights” laws to cover this up. They have become so Politically Correct they cannot relax at any gathering that includes African Americans. Sometimes they slip up, like Nancy did here and Reid did in 08 and Byrd did in 2000 and on and on and on. The big difference is, the MSM was able to cover for them up until recently.

Ok, the new official name for black is whatever ?

Ok, all you whatever people - vote for Pelosi ! Selfless, tireless worker for the rights and dignity and equality of whatever people !

Such a sweet gal. Poor thing. It’s wike da whowew wowd came cwashing down... cant fink stwait...

[weps4ret]

I agree. Maybe an American of African decent? An American of Hispanic decent? Or God forbid, simply an American.

as a matter of fact we need to force those cracker companies to call their product something else.

[wku man]

To be honest, I don't see how this is even remotely racist. So she fumbled around until she came up with the "proper" PC term, so what?

Really people, we're making waaaaay too big a deal over this and the Harry Reid comment...especially when you consider that nothing Reid said was factually wrong! We're starting to sound just the CommieLib 'Rats, which is dangerous. They have enough for us to go after without making mountains out of PC molehills.

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!

[mc5cents]

Gee guys, give poor Nancy a break. Who can remember what the name of the people formerly known as Negro is today! I mean really. Quick, what is the name of that stadium where the Super Bowl is going to played Sunday? Hmmmm, come on now think! Joe Robbie? Bzzzzz Sorry. Pro Player? Bzzzzz. Nope. Dolphins? Bzzzzzz Naaa. Land Shark? Bzzzzz Wrongo. Give up? So do I.

[freedumb2003]

So, what's right? (from Hair -- NSFW)

[Question Liberal Authority]

even if you have a four-decade record of civil rights activism

In my experience, anyone with a four decade record of civil rights activism is simply milking the race industry.

[pissant]

It’s obviously required that they be dumb as a rock

[massgopguy]

Nancy, ask Senator Byrd what he called Black people back then. He was there. Sheets and all.

[Question Liberal Authority]

There were farmers and black Americans, whatever the name was in those days

But no Japanese Americans, because they had all been interred in concentration camps.
