"Greatest men in our countrys history" - LOL if you think a slaveowner is one of the greatest men in our countrys history I feel very badly for you and the extent of your denial. I reserve that for people like Malcolm X, RFK, or MLK.Originally posted by: DonVito

I'm quite sure that racial prank calling at ones place of employment is reprimandible.
The guy who was being called apparently did not find it funny at all as well. Unless you think "f*** you, you motherf***er" a pleasant reaction.
As for Sally Hemmings; it was pretty much rape. He was attracted to her and he owned her if she did not requit the same emotions I'm pretty sure the consequences would not be pleasant. You should read TJ's musings on "the lesser races".
"Reprimandable"? What the hell does that mean? I've prosecuted and defended dozens of criminal trials, but I've never heard of a "reprimandable" offense.
If your sole basis for calling Thomas Jefferson a rapist is his relationship with Sally Hemmings, you really should be ashamed of yourself. That's disgraceful, speculative innuendo on your part, and it's particularly awful considering that you're attacking one of the greatest men in our country's history.
Ultimately I think this is a stupid debate considering the lighthearted nature of this thread, so I will bow out of it.
FWIW, I love the Stern show and thought this call was hilarious. I am no racist - actually the most gorgeous girl I've ever dated was Indian, and my current GF is Chinese - but IMO our country is truly a sad place if a meaningful number of Americans are so humorless that they find this call offensive and think it should be censored.
But I guess to you people, "a lighthearted thread" can be horrendously offensive and its fine.
Its pretty strange that a good amount of the people who enjoy and participate in these types of threads come from places with very little minority population - namely the midwest. Wierd coincidence.
