[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 72642, member: 1991"] Is it possible Whoopi was being satirical? A bit like the Dame Edna quote which upset Salma Hayek, something about needing to learn Spanish so she could communicate with her maid - Barry Humphries was making an anti-racist point and it got totally misinterpreted as being racist. I'm wondering if Whoopi was trying to say that attitudes in the south that seem to be 'soft' on dog-fighting had better change. We don't get news of this sort of thing down here, so I'm totally shooting blind on this one. But I've always seen her as someone with a brain - if she really meant this, I would be very disappointed in her. It just doesn't seem to fit. Marg [/QUOTE]
