Why?
She dared suggest that riding on Usain Bolt's back would be a fast and fun way to run errands.
Shocking right? I'm sure it has nothing at all to do with the fact that he's the fastest man alive and she was making a joke about that. No it HAS to be racism because that's the answer to all things.

Catt's right about the number of people that probably complained, but at the same time, that's what gets headlines.
That's why people like me always point to the MSM as being a huge problem. As long as they're out to make money, the news can be unbiased.

The only acceptable way to cover stories like this:
"Hey World, these people are fucking idiots" then link to the twitters.

Colbert made the same joke during a segment about robots that run fast. No furore.

Black women are "now america's most educated group
Black women are now the most educated group in America, according to the National Center for Education Statistics.
A higher percentage of black women — 9.7% to be exact — are enrolled in college than any other racial or gender group, including white men, white women, and Asian women.
There are so many issues with those two sentences, I don't even know where to start.

Too bad the author didn't do well in college.

Amazing what skewed enrollment quotas can do after a couple decades.

Is it bad that the first thing I thought of was: "Well, when you get paid to go to school and not work..."
