"Rooney always denied that he was a racist. In the 1940s, he was arrested after sitting in the back of a segregated bus in protest.[28] Also, in 2008, when Barack Obama was elected President of the United States, Rooney applauded the fact that "the citizens of this country, 80 percent of whom are white, freely chose to elect a black man as their leader simply because they thought he was the best choice." He said that makes him proud, and that it proves that the country has "come a long way — a good way.""
WikipediaI liked Andy Rooney, he saw what he saw, and said so, pleasant or not. I never forgot that he was an old fart, so I listened to him the same way I learned to listened to my own father, and every other man of his generation.
