Is the phrase “millions of people” racist? Apparently some at MSNBC think so.

I was just watching MSNBC’s SC primary coverage on free-to-air satellite (this is network feeds, public stations, foreign stations, etc.) about ½ hour ago, while bill clinton was making a statement. During this statement the camera was on joe scarborough; his microphone was on so you could hear him talking at the same time as clinton was speaking; you could also see that contempt on his face. He was saying something along the lines of “he’s talking about himself. he’s talking about his presidential library… can you believe this…” at one point he uttered the F word, but nevermind.
What really got me was that somewhere in the speech Clinton said something like “the campaign is looking forward to going into super Tuesday when millions of people will vote…” and a woman sitting to the left of scarborough said “Millions of WHITE people.” Some of you who get the real MSNBC may be able to say who this woman is, but she wasn’t on camera, so I don’t know who it was. Anyway, people keep saying that the Clintons are playing the race card, but if they can’t even say they’re looking forward to millions of people voting on super Tuesday without being accused (by the media, at least) of racism, it seem like they’re damned if they do, damned if they don’t.

3. i actually have it on video; somehow people would still say that it's the clintons' fault that

the race issue has been so blown up.

2. The Clintons are once again being smeared and lied about by the MSM and

their usual detractors. I just understand why all the hate for the Clintons. I have heard and watched most of the statements made by Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton during this campaign and I don't even understand how the MSM and others keep saying they are playing the race card. Clearly it is the Obamaites and the MSM that are making the race card the big issue. I watched as CNN spun Bill Clinton's "explosive" and "animated" attack on the media in NC. I watched with disbelief that anyone could spin his cool, and reasoned statement as an explosive attack on the media. I just don't get it.

4. I think this is more about the Reagan smear than anything.

That was so Republican 2004 for the Clintons to distort Obama's statements the way they did.

5. kicking my own thread, just so people can see that the *media* is playing the race

card, not the clintons.
