Yesterday I told you about a leftist editorial that said Clarence Thomas was not a real black.
Now in Maryland, liberals who would be quick to profess their allegiance to the civil rights movement are tossing Oreo cookies at the black Lt. Governor of Maryland who is running for a U.S. Senate seat. A liberal website depicts Lt. Governor Michael Steele as a black-faced minstrel while other liberals call him an Uncle Tom. A black New Yorker who doesn't like the fact that Michael Steele hasn't accepted the race card victemology line of the Democratic Party calls him "Simple Sambo." Kweisi Mfume, the former NAACP president, sees no problem with the name-calling and racial epithets. He says that they are just "pointing out the obvious."
So much for being the party that professes to be tolerant, inclusive and touchy-feely. Oh wait they still are all of that except around those who happen to think outside the group and identify with the wrong politics of the times.
All of this as we remember Rosa Parks. I wonder what she would have thought about this?
