But it's wrong. Jesse Jackson speaks to much more diverse crowds than Palin ever will.

Bush did well with Hispanics b/c he was from Texas, and the voted for the hometown favorite.

Bush was from Texas in 2000 too and didn't do quite as well with Hispanics as in 2004 so your argument fails.

BFD. It's not like these people are trying to run them over. Also, the car I use from time to time locks the doors automatically at 20 km/h (yes, km/h all cars are designed in metric nowadays). When I had a car without auto-locking I would sometimes remember to lock the door and it wasn't necessarily when I would see "dangerous minorities" although sometimes it was near dangerous minorities (usually when I stopped at the first traffic light of my trip, regardless of the pedestrians there).

Oh, trust me....I know exactly. I guess living here makes me immune to noticing "other people", as I am so used to it. I have no problem walking through "mixed" neighborhoods, going to stores where "I" am the minority, etc. But I know full well there are many that aren't like that, and "freak". Most people from a "lily white" neighborhood would freak at the deli I get my bacon/egg/cheese sandwich at sometimes.
And yes, it can bring a "giggle" when I think of certain people I know if they would "walk in" how they would react.

It's funny, I remember the first time I stayed in New Orleans, I had a hotel (Radisson) way way way down Canal St over by I10, and that is sort of on the "out skirts" of where the tourist area ends, and you have to remember that New Orleans, since the slave days is about 80% black. Well, to get to "Bourbon St", or the French Quarter, or the Riverfront, or any of the tourist parts people come to NO for, you had to walk down Canal St for some blocks (or take the hotel shuttle bus). We often chose to walk, which was fine, but I can just imagine some "tourist" from let's say "Sayville, NY" (a fairly lily white area) and dropped them down on that stretch of Canal St..... I can smirk just thinking about it.... I SAW some older tourists walking out the front door of the hotel, freaking out, and running into the shittle bus to the French QUarter as fast as they could.
They obviously didn't know what "New Orleans" was like, lol....

Hey, it is funny....it's all what people are used to.

Personally, I think the race relations in NO was way better than many other places I have been.

New Orleans did/does have a really high violent crime rate. You guys should have been more smart. I have a (white) cousin that was walking around a non-touristy area of DC at night when they were robbed at gunpoint. After getting the money one of the robbers shot my cousins buddy in the face and killed him.

Because I just used myself as an example. I didn't understand the relevance to the Mattews clip, or why that would have any indication that would make it "alright" for Chris to say such dickwad remarks.
But I think we have talked it through in another post, no sense continuing, as the conversation about the "roll em up" is sort of done. Read Selkirk's and my exchange, no sense rehashing it all again.

We were walking on Canal St. It's a busy street. It was a Radisson Hotel (now out of business after the hurricane, but that's another story) a "few blocks" from the tourist area. It's not like we were walking through "the hood". It was Canal St. If you don't know Canal St (or the upper end of Canal St a few blocks from the heart of the French Quarter, I can't explain it, but it looked (before the hurricane) sort of like Jamaica Ave did in the 1980's. Not necessarily "bad", but seedy, mostly black. A white person is a minority in New Orleans. Everywhere. Especially just outside the touristy areas. It's not like we were walking through the 9th Ward in the middle of "the hood".

I was arguing that having had the doors locked on you is not significant.

I don't have time to do it now, as I am on my way out the door, but pull up "1500 Canal St" in google maps and look at the street view. It will put you right in front of the "abandoned" old Radison Hotel, that is now boarded up, it closed after the flood. Then pan towards the river.
It's hard to compare to the "pre hurricane" scene there, as these images are afterwards, and not many people around anymore :( but even now, it's not "THAT" bad. Canal St was seedy before the flood, but was on the "rebound" when I first stayed there. Unfortunately, that "rebound" was hindered terribly by the flood, and the subsequent loss of people.
