NC Senate 1984

[SWE]

The one who isn't Helms.

In any election, that'd be the best way to go.

[Maistre]

Helms of course.

Helms was whistling dixie in front of Carol Moseley Braun. Come on man. Some behavior is just completely unacceptable from a U.S. Senator.

Have you ever heard Dixie? It is quite a catchy tune.

Sure, but hardly the point in this context.

So Helms is to be considered a racist if others within earshot interpret racial malice in words that are not themselves racist? That seems to open a slippery slope into the nonsense of microaggression.

Are you saying that Helms didn't intend to offend Braun, she just chose to be offended?

Essentially, yes.

Wow.

Nice job omitting the accused's explanation of the event. But, it is perfect acceptable to assume the perpetrator of character assassination is 100% truthful in a he-said-she-said situation, so long as we find the accused's political views distasteful, n'est pas? After all, it is not like Helms's accuser in this case has a history of making allegations of racism against political opponents.
