It's just that if I was sitting at the bus stop, and some dude walked up to me and said, "See that guy over there? He just called me a honkey!" Sure I'd think the guy being pointed at was racist, but taken out of context, and only hearing that through word of mouth, I'd take my initial assessment with a grain of salt.

I'm really trying to move away from being seen as an "Everything Obama Hater." That requires me to really vet things out and play the devil's advocate. I'm sure you understand.
