Normally I don’t respond to comments as a matter of personal policy.

I was expecting this kind of reaction, and I doubt you’re the only one. As the other poster said this is satire.

If you check out the anti-Ford ads on Youtube you’ll understand the cartoon better. The racism is veiled, but it is undeniably still there.

I expose what’s implied.

it’s not sarcasm if you live here, it’s too real. you can’t parody a reality that is so rediculous as to be a parody of itself. i have lived with this junk every day, and this $@it flies here. in tennessee i might add.

there is nothing moronic about being disgusted by racism.

Harold Ford Jr. strikes me as a man, “of the people”, by the people, for the people.” Isn’t that what America’s about?

From what I can see from this side of the Altlantic (in the UK) , he’s a white guy who is ‘blacking up’ to play the race card. Utterly ridiculous and baltantly oportunistic. If a black guy who looked 95% African - maybe with just straight hair - all other features genetically West African, declared himself to be a White Anglo Saxon Protestant, people would just laugh. So how come this whitey gets away with it? He’s as ridiculous as Ali G. Ive also just seen a photo of his uncle John Ford. Obviously as white as the blonde womean who was interviewing him. Has America gone collectively blind or something?
