  • Listen up all you naifs

    Having lived in New Orleans for 30 years - and I don't mean the suburbs but right in the thick of things where it could get really nasty, I find the naivete out there in lily white, self congratulating America perfectly laughable. I'm here to tell y'all that in matters political as in all else, blacks are capable of being just as venal as whites. To believe anything else IS racism.

    The very public track records of both Bill and Hillary Clinton are indicative of anything but racism, and short of a seismic midlfe conversion, are we to believe they suddenly ran out to the nearest white sale and stocked up on white sheets? Right.

    The manner in which they have lately been used by both the MSM and black America - including Wonder Boy Obama - would be shocking if it hadn't been so predictable. So yah, the guy writing in the New Republic knows what he's talking about. It's called reality.
