One of Instapundit's favorite blogs speaks on race

"I am sick to death of black people as a group ... We're teetering at the edge of believing that you're a secret society, a massive collection of sleeper cells just waiting for your chance to do serious harm to the rest of us."

    Is Oprah now on the "nigger" list too?

    After reading Instapunk’s list of “the following people are niggers” I couldn’t help but wonder if Glenn Reynolds (in his mind) added Oprah Winfrey to that list.

    On March 15, after citing an article that mentioned Oprah Winfrey was a member of Trinity Church, Reynolds wrote in an update:

    That's from a 2007 Chicago Tribune piece via Hot Air. This kind of makes me see Oprah a bit differently, too. "Not many people would associate Oprah’s easygoing nature and warm, welcoming appeal with the kind of oratory provided by Wright." As with Mitt Romney on guns, I'm starting to think that they haven't been entirely straight with us.

    Instapunk was quite explicit on how he thought “differently” about certain blacks calling them “niggers.” Reynolds, as always, isn’t that explicit, but his readers nevertheless will get the message he’s attempting to convey in his links.

    He doesn’t have to come out and say, “Oprah is a nigger.” His links do it for him.

    Indeed.
