‘Malt liquor bull’ is right: So black people DO drink giant bottles of weird booze in large quantities, then?

May 26, 2011 By Kathy Shaidle

But it’s only OK when YOU point it out?

Fox Business host Eric Bolling is being accused of racism for this tweet criticizing Obama for toasting pints of Guinness while many Americans were in crisis:

Apparently making a reference to “40′s” — meaning 40 oz. — is inherently racist.  Why?  NewsOne (For Black America) explains:

“40s is slang for 40 oz bottles of beer, usually malt liquor, that was popular in hip hop in the 90s.”

Uh, so?  Do white people not drink 40s?  I have.  Did white people not enjoy hip hop in the 90s?  I don’t really want to admit it, but in fact I did.
