Lou Dobbs, Racially Sensitive Verbal Magician

Lou Dobbs speaks the truth, not so with Obama,Clinton, and McCain.

I saw the longer version of this in his show. I thought that his comments at that time were so self serving and blind to the reality. I wasnt' aware of this "cotton ..." comment. It's just shows right up front that he is not the open minded person he pretends to be. So if highly educated and respected Africian Americans (like Condoleeza and Obama) say they have lived the experience of being in a society which hasn't faced their differences and biases on race, well, according to Lou Dodd they are just wrong. The problem doesn't exist because Lou says it doesn't. And an established white man with a comfortable life style would know all about this, right ?!! In the longer version of this rant which was in his own hour he declared that he personally doesn't know one single person who has difficulity discussing race. Not ONE. He put special emphasis on this. This just doesn't happen in the world he lives in. I bet he lives on a cozy "white" folks block and the closest friends of color he has are colleagues at work. He doesn't see the face of the people who have struggled or are still struggling - only of the individuals who have succeeded in building a successful life. Just for the record, I'm a middle age white woman, I don't know many people anyway but I only know a couple of black people. But even I with my limited cross cultural experience can see what a load of hot air Lou was selling on that day. Hey Lou, how come you didn't say the word "picker" - it just got caught on the tip of your tongue. So you can reasonably talk about race right ? except that a racial insult is on the tip of your tongue !! And one more point, USA is not the most cross cultural country in the world. Not by a long shot. I think Bolivia, Brazil, Columbia, Indonesia, Singapore all have you beat, and if you look north to Canada and also at New Zealand you will see they are equally as diverse AND they have more than one language used officially.

"Not one of these cotton... (pickers)... should be the moderator on race." Huh? Then who should be? No one else seems to be stepping up to the plate.

After this and his bold faced lie that we are the most 'socially, ethnically, religiously diverse society on the FACE OF THE EARTH' I take any Lou Dobbs comments with a grain of salt. The rest of America should too.

I'm no Lou Dobbs fan, but I use cotton-picking when I get mad to describe lots of things, luckily not black people. Does that make me racist? Are we all saying that his use - or near use - of that commonly used phrase in the vicinity of Ms Rice was directly pointing to her slavery ancestry? I really doubt it. I think he's right about one thing - We ARE obsessed with racism in this country.

From thefreedictionary.com:

cotton-picking (American & Australian, informal)
something that you say before a noun to express anger.

Wow I don't see any mention of the Confederate South in there...
