1) I'm sure many of you watched the recent taping of the Oprah Winfrey Show. : O$ k- X$ s1 t: G0 X

the statements about race he was accused of saying were true. , r3 i$ e$ O; l4 t
Statements like'... 'If I'd known African-Americans, Hispanics, Jewish

' l9 @! n- }# R- U( X* r3 i3 u5 a2 ~
His answer to Oprah was a simple ' YES' . + O5 `# U- v4 F3 ~
