I thought it was fine.I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891 -

Personally not a lot. But a lot of black people are upset about it. In the South it has subtle racial tones.
The left wing media outlets are saying he was very patronizing with that statement. The right wing media isn't saying much about it.I'm consitently stupid- Japher

"That one"? I've never heard that in my life as a racial note. Well, not here. I guess Panama Cal is more southern. I don't know what those ones say down there say.Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take, but by the moments that take your breath away.
