Oh the horror! :rolleyes:

Maybe he's a known racist, but I wouldn't know that from one remark he said without thinking. On top of that, February is a month for all sorts of things. Morgan Freeman said it best, get rid of "black history month" because that in itself is just perpetuating this idea of segregation according to colour.

Basically, I'm not shocked by this because I consider it a non-issue.
