Now I have decided that I am not going to get on a long winded rant about why this sort of "Freudian Slip" occurred to this anchor while talking about the President of the United States who just happens to be a man of color. I mean, of course, it is understandable that she would call it the "Nigger Inaugural." I also was under the assumption that a "Freudian Slip" was indicative of something that was already in someones thoughts and it, well... slips out - so I don't know how calling this some kind of Freudian slip makes it better.
At either rate, I suppose the more things change the more the stay the same. This would be a good time to use a line that my receptionist says when people do things that might make you want to respond in a negative and ungodly like way or otherwise challenges the better angels of one's nature. "Ooh the blood of Jesus, the devil is a lie!" Yes, indeed, the Devil is a lie, but I will refrain from making a larger statement on race relations in this country or what seems to bedevil certain segments of the population regarding this man. I will not get sucked in. Regardless, the Inauguration was great.
Watch the "Nigger Inaugural" here. At least she was cheerful while discussing it.
