'Oh sweet Moses': CNN tackles the most important issue of the day [corrected]

Editor’s Note: Oops. We assumed the photo being shared on Twitter was a current one since the dreaded “cracker” debate has once again been in the news. See: Rep. Charles Rangel says he thought cracker was ‘a term of endearment’ and ‘Social media works!’ Twitter pressure helps suspend teacher who tweeted ‘crackers’ should ‘Kill yourselves’. We should have known better because we even did a post about CNN’s discussion of it when it aired last year. At last: CNN’s expert panel tackles ‘N-word vs. cracker’ debate. So, this critical discussion clearly did not take place to distract from the GOP wave as we facetiously suggested. Mea culpa.

You can tell how important it is because Geordi LaForge isn’t even wearing his visor.

@BecketAdams @TheMaverick21 Didn't Holder want a conversation on race? I guess this is it.

@BecketAdams: Are black men even allowed to have an opinion on the word "cracker"? I'm pretty sure I'm not about the N-word.

@BecketAdams @TheMaverick21 The best thing about @CNN not being on Dish is I can't accidentally expose myself to stupidity.

@BecketAdams @TheMaverick21 CNN's view is clear in its willingness to spell-out only one.

It takes a crack journalistic team to not recognize when they’ve answered their own question.

If only we weren’t such a nation of cowards.
