I love it. Every time some "do good" media hack like Noah claims a benign criticism or observation about Obama is "racist", it just creates more resentment among voters (primarily of the white middle class kind). This resentment will ultimately lead to several retaliatory "F#ck You" votes cast for McCain. Mark my words.

Its true, I am not generally a racist man, but every time some moron tries to tell me that saying any word while describing a black person makes me racist, I just feel like screaming the N- Word over and over, I mean why not? According to moron Noah I might as well, saying Skinny is apparently the same thing.... oh or nappy, or Fat, because black girls are stereotypically black in the movies, or loud, or the word chicken, or the word watermelon, I mean really its impossible to have a conversation about, or with a black person without being accused of racism, and its all thanks to morons like Noah who would rather we live in silence than maybe have a real conversation on race.

Who knows.Maybe that is Noahs' true intention.

This article is certainly waaaay off base, but if you're telling me you can't have a conversation with a black person without being accused of racism, you need to know some different black people. Sorry.

shotgun, I can talk to a black person without being considered racist, but if we as a society listen to the guy who wrote this, we are basically giving up on communicating... if calling someone skinny is racist, then I don't know what isn't... I realize that his intent was to claim that calling him skinny was just a way to talk about him being black, but he should have worded it better. Also, what about words that are generally used to describe whites are these off limits too? pasty, nerdy, blonde, are all of these words really just racist code words used by blacks? Its just absurd.
