the tweeter is right to say that she has not used it just once. i think there is no way she will not be able to address that. host: good morning. caller: the question i want to ask your guest is, it is obviously a racial statement, but i do not know if the racial statement is necessarily a bad thing. as a white person, i believe a white person would make a better president than a black person. as soon as i say that, i am deemed racist. is it some -- if some political officials said that the reason a connecticut firefighters issue, the reason the white people did better than the minorities is quite honestly, the white people are smarter. they would call them a terrible they did and everything. the door has to swing both ways. what we have done is we have drifted away to one side. if you speak up about your race as a white person, you are deemed a racist. race is an important issue and you can be proud of it, but not be demonized. i think that has to go both ways. guest: i'm glad the caller is me a chance to revisit the new haven firefighter case. i
