Bob is not stating facts. That people can sense racism, bigotry, in another persons blood?!?! Bob seems to be saying that there is something genetic too it. Are most Germans of today somehow tainted with Nazi DNA in their bodies? Should the sins of a father be automatically inherited by a son?

"If you got a slave master or (Ku Klux) Klan in your blood, blacks can sense that," he was quoted as saying. "That stuff lingers to this day. Just like Jews can sense Nazi blood and the Serbs can sense Croatian blood."
That's what he said. People can disagree on the Serbia/Croatia issue, that is what the controversy is about.
People who think the reference to "blood" was literal really shouldn't be writing posts. He meant that blacks can sense racists, Jews can sense anti-semites, etc. , when they deal with them. Hardly controversial. It's the Croatian comment that has caused the stir.

Funny though, just two weeks ago Dylan was awarded in France the Legion of Honor, France’s highest prize....

As for Bob, he missed an opportunity to keep his mouth shut.
