[Rhodes22-list] A heads up before hitting the send key

[Herb Parsons]

Brad,

I think the odd thing is in the most recent flair up, no one called 
Obama anything, except to reference a reference to a lib calling him 
"the magic negro". My objection is the to the "racist card" being played 
every time something is said that someone objects to.

Folks, mentioning the word "negro" does not make one racists.

FWIW, I think "Nazi hearts" is a little rough as well.
