Apparently, Black is not Black

From The Washington Times [Emphasis and link added]


Black Democratic leaders in Maryland say that racially tinged attacks against Lt. Gov. Michael S. Steele in his bid for the U.S. Senate are fair because he is a conservative Republican.

Such attacks against the first black man to win a statewide election in Maryland include pelting him with Oreo cookies during a campaign appearance, calling him an "Uncle Tom" and depicting him as a black-faced minstrel on a liberal Web log.

This is a link to a new picture rather than the 'black faced minstrel' that was originally there. The artist claims it was over objections from the photo copyright holder. You be the judge. If I find a link to the original, I'll update this post.

Classy. Real classy.

To me, this kind of activity is just as sick and twisted as those bigoted whites who referred to some white politicians of a past era as N*****-Lovers.

It's apparently ok to be a black politician as long as you are in lockstep with the NAACP. Step out of that box and the attacks begin. The hypocracy and the general behavior disgusts me.


UPDATE: Taranto imitates Festivus

Festivus: To me, this kind of activity is just as sick and twisted as those bigoted whites who referred to some white politicians of a past era as N*****-Lovers.

Taranto: This is the equivalent of racist white politicians in the pre-civil-rights South denouncing a white liberal as a "nigger lover."

This behavior is not surprising. The roots of the Democrat party is the intolerant racist south.

In America there has always been two parties: a party for freedom and a party for something else. Today's Democrat party is the party for something else.
