So they said

“We are Velcroed to them.” — Suzie Ahlstrand, vice president of community advancement for the Wichita Metro Chamber of Commerce, in one of the recent national articles about Wichita’s slumping aircraft companies

“If I could do it over, I would wear a Bass Pro Shop cap or dress as a caveman.” — Rep. Bill Otto, R-LeRoy, on the flap created by his anti-Obama YouTube rap video, in which he wore a hat labeled “Opossum, the other dark meat”

“So people who dis you and do not agree/Are just not racist and that includes me.” — Otto again, in a new rap video with a more positive tone

    Perhaps dark meat can be referred in the future as achromatic meat.

    Then, there will be a requirement to name the Black sea and change descriptions of anything using black, such as uniform colors.

    reggie,
    Technically, black is the absence of color, and white is the presence of all colors. People are neither black nor white. Skin tone may range from a rich mocha brown to a greyed orangish pink, but is indicative of absolutely nothing except ancestral geography. Read the DNA studies. You undoubtedly have relatives you obviously never suspected.
