Reply #82: I'm a black woman and I've caught myself exclaiming that Nancy Pelosi is "gangsta." [View All]

I didn't think of it as a racially insensitive or disrespectful thing, only because I believe that intent is important. However, I see what you're saying. It's probably not cool to tell the president to "man up," or "get gangsta," and definitely not refer to him as "dude." As someone else said, people just feel that they can be disrespectful to him and not even know or realize that they're being disrespectful.
