Yes, Rick Santorum, You Did Say "Black" People
We have all watched the video. We all know he said "black people." Go ahead and watch it again. What else could he have been saying. You would have to be Rick Santorum's Communications Director to not think he said "black" people.
Rick "Sweater Vest" Santorum has an explanation and he offered it on the "The O'Reilly Factor," "I looked at that, and I didn't say that. If you look at it, what I started to say is a word and then sort of changed and it sort of ... blah ... came out. And people said I said 'black.' I didn't."
He never offered up the word he had actually started to say. I am thinking he did not offer the word because he really did say "black people."
He reminds me of a child who is not sorry for what he did, but rather for being caught. Rick Santorum is not sorry for what he said, he is sorry it was on tape.
He went further, "And I can tell you, I don't use, I don't, first off, I don't use the term 'black' very often. I use the term 'African-American' more than I use 'black." I am guessing that we are supposed to infer that since he only sometimes refers to "African-American's" as black that he therefore did not use the word in this instance.
Almost comically, immediately following this comment he used the word "black" twice, "I can tell you as someone who did more work for historically black colleges, I used to have — every year, I used to bring all the historically black colleges into Washington, DC to try to help them, because they get very little federal money through the bureaucracy."
