On a slightly different topic, this illustrates why a Presidential candidate works out well if they are extremely intelligent and can on-the-fly carefully construct every sentence they speak to not ever say anything that could ever possibly be construed in any remote way to have any explicit or implicit negative meaning regarding any group. Food for thought for 2012...

I hope they keep using it. The more they use it, the sooner it'll wear out.

Was there a woman among the gathered Dems? They could claim he’s sexist too for saying, “you guys.”

But in the mentally ill land of the left if you are a black legislator and you tell a crowd...you're white go to hell...that is perfectly acceptable and not racist...

LOL...Spongebob would be proud.

What a load of BS this race baiting article is. If blacks want to stop being categorized as a group, then they first need to stop categorizing themselves as a group. And if they don’t want to be categorized as “underpriveleged” (whatever in the #$%%$ that means), they need to stop demanding to be treated as a “protected class” based on a federal presumption of being underpriveleged.

Mr. Scott attended the event as part of an effort to discuss possible cuts aimed at African-American communities.

I wonder what is meant by that statement.

The Florida Republican presented his budget last week, proposing steep cuts in social programs and education.

Oh, so cuts in social programs and education are assumed to be aimed at African Americans. How racist!!!!

Didn’t someone tell Rick Scott that he can speak forthrightly to any other group but must walk on egg shells when dealing with AA legislators?

After all, the quickly offended crowd is always ready to pounce.

But at least we’re at the point where everyone else is so tired of the hustle that they just don’t care anymore about this kind of whining.

LOL!

So a luncheon group that describes itself as “African-American lawmakers” is upset because they were referred to as “you people.”

If it had been me I would have told THOSE people to KMA...after I picked myself up from LMAOROTF.

A number of state Democrats objected to the assumption. State Rep. Betty Reed said she was offended by the remark, adding “He assumed that everyone [[n the room] was poor and that can only be because you’re black.”

Thanks for clearing that up, I erroneously thought he meant that he thought all the people in the room were white, because none of them were in jail. Or something like that.

Jeez, these people...
