Not if his Grandmother was black...
But, if McCain's Grandmother was black, that mean he'd be black too... That would make this year the first time in US History a black man was elected President.

I disagree. I think McCain would be finished if he said that. The color of his grandmother wouldn't matter. He would still be placing black people in a stereotype by saying "typical black person", and heads would roll.

No double standard????? Are you serious?????
1.What kind of music do you listen to?
2.I personally don't listen to rap, but they say ***** in it all the time.
3.Now, I'm assuming you're black anaheim. I am white.
4.Now if I walked up to you and said, "Whats up *****?". Would you get mad or not?
5.If you were walking down the street and heard a group of white people dropping ***** left and right, would you get upset and think they were racist?

2. I only listen to old school "gansta" and ***** is said a lot.... But that is music. Many of us gave that word up and it's power in undergrad.
3. All my life.
4. 20+ years ago....... yes, today for what?
5..I can't control what someone else says. As long as they don't touch me, my wife or son, they can talk all they want.

Should she have sang that song? No!
We do have a national song, and that is what should have been sung.
That is what she was ask to do, not make a political statement.
I liked the song it was full of hopes and dreams. I had never heard of it before.
It was racest for her to sing it.
It needs to be sang and understood in the places riffraff and moochers live, {be they the race and nationality they are} they're the ones that need it.

Lot's I could comment on here, think I'll just stick to 2.
1. When I was in college, our bursar's office had this book of scholarships that students could go through and then apply for any that they were interested in. Now this book was ridiculous. It was HUGE, 1,000's of pages.
I started going through all the scholarships, page by page, and believe it or not, I only qualified for maybe 1/16th of ALL those scholarships because I'm a Caucasian male. Who's the minority now?
2. Love the country music (and southern rock too).

Can't think of anything specific, but there are bound to be a few.
Just giving you a hard time, all in fun.
