May each of you have the heart to conceive, the understanding to direct, and the hand to execute works that will leave the world a little better for your having been here. -- Ronald Reagan

Glad We Live in a Post Racial America XIV

The Washington Post has a blog, "TheRoot.com", that compares Conservative African Americans with the worst genocidal slaughterers, dictators, murderers, and serial killers of all time.

The blog "Black Folks We'd Like To Remove From Black History"

Some examples:
Michael Steele will go down in history as the first black chairman of the Republican National Committee. We're sure that, at first, the 12 blacks who still claimed to be Republicans post-Bush were full of glee about his election. Unfortunately, Steele has since morphed into the Bozo of politics. Too bad for him and the GOP that the only people laughing are the ones on the other side of the political aisle.

Alan Keyes
When he allowed himself to be a pawn of the GOP and moved to Illinois for the sake of challenging another black politician (then-Senate hopeful Barack Obama), Keyes helped further tarnish the image of black Republicans. And over the course of a lengthy and very bizarre political career, he's never managed to make a lick of sense. It's about time black people treated him the way his Republican brethren usually do: Pretend that he doesn't exist.

Clarence Thomas
Although he's only the second man of color to serve in the Supreme Court, the Backstreet Boys have more standing in the black community than Clarence Thomas. That's because he looks to the Constitution as "colorblind," says he's a man who just happens to be black and opposes government programs intended to help minorities. I'm not sure if the late Thurgood Marshall would want to pop Clarence 'side his head with his gavel, but there are plenty of blacks who would volunteer to do it for him.

They did list some truly bad characters like O J Simpson and Marion Barry. But comparing, just because they are Conservative, to the worst of the worst people ever is just stupid.

Idiots.

Sure glad we live in a post racial Amerika.
