Re: Gov. 'Blunt Talk' Rendell (and other topics)
He(fast Eddie) is just plain spoken. He probably knows or at least thinks he knows his state well.
I have encountered a lot more racism in the north in the past 20 years than in the south where the issues were brought out in the open however painful. And because I sound like a southerner, people tend to assume I won't mind them using language they probably don't use outside their own family.
As an example, a few weeks ago I heard a man say to his dining partner,
"Well we have a choice in this election between a cult member, a ni___r, an old man, and a liar."
The above conversation was overheard in Washington-a progressive?-state.
