Chelsea Handler Quotes
There's a difference between racism and people making a joke about something. There is true racism going on, and people should be able to identify what that is, comparatively.
Handler, Chelsea. Interview by Piers Morgan. Piers Morgan Tonight, CNN, 17 May 2011.
Theodore Roosevelt, became President when President McKinley was assassinated. One thing that he did was to have the Negro leader, Booker T. Washington to lunch at the White House. He had previously had Blacks in his famous Rough Riders. Although Roosevelt had not taken a public position in inter-racial marriage, in the South, and much of rest of the country, accusing someone of favoring miscegenation was as serious an insult as there was. The accusation was used to attack anyone who did not favor segregation, lynching and Jim Crow in the same way that people who favored Medicare or Labor Unions were called “communists”. Cardamon himself was the target of many for his disrespectful and gross description of the president. See Quotation
