I have to believe that a journalist would have to be aware of the charged meaning of the word "lynch". Would this have been an issue if she had said the word "lynch" about a white man? Probably not. Would she have USED THE WORD "lynch" if she had been talking about a white man? Probably not. It was an inappropriate racist joke. I do agree with everyone about Al Sharpton, though. He's a joke himself.
Love the site, but it would be nice if you could put the video under a cut for us arachnophobics. I had to hold up a folder over the screen so I didn't have to look at it.
GREEEAAAAT.
