LIBERAL MEDIA DEFENDING THEIR OWN!!!1111oneone
liberal privilege
Imagine if one of the other candidates had done something this blatantly racist- what would the reaction have been? The knives would have been out if Trump or Bernie had done this. But because it's Clinton it gets almost no coverage, no big deal. Think about week after week of the shit Trump has been hammered on- I think this is much more of a scandal. But nothing. I don't know how any fair-minded person can deny there appears to be a bias for Hillary. The upper ranks of the press tend to be made up of establishment types and they see Hillary as one of them- she's the "serious" candidate. It of course doesn't mean she's immune to negative coverage, they have to maintain the appearance of balance after all, or that everyone in the media supports her.
I do agree that if this were Trump there would be a pretty big outrage and a rush from most to "condemn" de Blasio ASAP.

It's gotten coverage on conservative blogs written by people who probably have never been in a majority black social setting but are eager to brand a man with a black wife, family, and friends as racist for making an innocuous joke commonly made in around black people.
Those same people would be lashing out at the PC liberal media if it was Trump.
what about the faux liberal outrage over media calling Romney's adopted son a token ? Nah you don't remember. Only liberals can be outraged because they know the struggle

Haha. Either no outrage of faux outrage. No alternatives.

I think the issue is whether it is innocuous only because de Blasio has an African-American wife, thereby earning him that "privilege"?
One of my former employees (white female) used that term one time when she was late to a meeting and it made me bristle, because I assumed negative connotations... but maybe I am wrong... or does it all depend on the context?
