Chuck Heath Jr: About Sarah’s Latest Post

Gov. Palin's big brother rises to her defense:

It seems that there are many people flying off the handle and accusing Sarah of being a racist for using the term “shuck and jive” in a recent Facebook post. For the record, we’ve heard that term most of our lives and to us it always referred to someone who was skirting the truth. There was never an inkling of racism in it when we used it. We also used the term “juke and jive” when we talked about faking someone out on the basketball court or the football field. Is that racist, too? The origins of many American expressions may be dubious, but that doesn’t imply that people using them today have the same intent. I think the media demonstrates their hypocrisy on this issue when you look at the way they handled Jay Carney saying the same thing (total silence)on a national stage.
