For the record, I'll cop to using crack in my snarky comment rather than cocaine not out of maliciousness but rather a lack of concern. I don't care if he snorted, smoked, or mainlined... I never bothered to give the issue any thought during the election and I don't now. Other than as fodder for a snarky comment. In the future I promise to do more research and get a second set of eyes for proofreading and factchecking before I take a dig at a public figure.

Get over it TGRR.

hmmm, bush admitted to using cocaine, so I have to wonder if you ever said he did crack? Did you use it here because Obama happens to be black?

You've now crossed the line from being an irritatingly naive idealist to being a fucking moron. i'll assume you have nothing of value to say from this point on.

Why? Because I called you out on something you said?

Crack is used more by black people, cocaine is used more by white people. That is a fact. Crack has much stiffer penalties, probably because it is a "black" drug, which is unfair, so more black people end up in prison, and this country has a long history of having stricter penalties for drugs that are used by minorities. Obama is black; Bush is white. Both admitted using cocaine. You said Obama used crack, not cocaine, so I wanted to know if you ever said Bush used crack as well. If you didn't, the statement you made is racist. If you did, it wasn't. Plain and simple.

And I am not a moron, thank you very much. I am not naive either. You seem to be the one who is naive, probably because the industry you work in is under attack and under a very large microscope. I suppose it is natural that you would want to defend it. But sinking to personal attacks by calling me a moron is low.
