And now for something lighter: FReepers react to NFL Hall selections
Their reactions to Betty Friedan's death are for the most part jaw droppingly ignorant and repulsive (a couple rare exceptions!), but check what the ever dependable "Extremely Extreme Extremist" said about Reggie White's ill-considered stereotypical comments a couple years ago:

Never mind the stereotypical limitations and assumptions he placed on people (based on race) by removing their God given individual & natural skills.

He was, in fact, praising groups of people based upon their skills. It's true that most whites are adept at raising capital. And that Hispanics make good use of space with people. And blacks are great and lively singers.

It was only "racist" and "stereotypical" to the PC people.

I hardly know what to add, except to remember to include some blacks in my holiday - er, Christmas - caroling next December.
