An apologist for Obama defends the president referring to terrorists as ‘folks’…

…because, according to McWhorter “black speakers…tend to substitute ‘folks’ for ‘people’ to indicate a sense of affection for, or identification with, the people in question.”

‘Affection for, or identification with’ …terrorists?

We wouldn’t be surprised if McWhorter got a call from the White House today…

…with a familiar, folksy voice begging ‘…kin ya stop helpin’, me, please’?

For our part, we can’t help but wonder how Obama… identifying with and having affection for terrorists…can be construed as “..enhancing the dignity of his office..”?
