Racism on the Radio
Edited on Sat Mar-03-07 07:54 PM by ls317

Allred: "What happened to Bama Rock or whatever his name is?"
Cole: "He's moving up in the polls. Obama."
Allred: "He's a likeable guy."
Cole: "He's 'clean' is what what's-his-name said. Joe Biden told us that."
Allred: "Clean darky."
Cole: "Sammy!"

After they came back from a commercial break, Allred said:

"See, I was making fun of politicians who say things like that."

"He's 'clean' is what what's-his-name said. Joe Biden told us that."

4. What does that mean?
He was obviously mocking Biden's insensitivity by exaggerating.
