- Abstract:
FORMER CBS news anchor Dan Rather, 78 - previously seen as a liberal in U.S. terms - has offended race-sensitive Americans by saying on air about President Obama's difficulty in getting legislation passed: 'Listen he's a nice person, he's very articulate, but he couldn't sell watermelons if you gave him the state troopers to flag down the traffic.' Watermelons are the stereotypical diet of poor rural blacks. Racists have posted a mocked-up photo online of watermelons covering the front lawn of the White House. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
