Byrd's use of the term "white hahahahahaha" created immediate controversy. When asked about it, Byrd responded,

" I apologize for the characterization I used on this program ... The phrase dates back to my boyhood and has no place in today's society ... In my attempt to articulate strongly held feelings, I may have offended people."
Could you please link me to his use of the word without the 'white' OR please link me to his use of the word on the Senate Floor in 2010? That'd be great, thanks!
