Former Black Panther Urges Public Not To “Hang” Or “Lynch” Blago Appointee
Besides being the most corrupt state in America, Illinois also knows how to play the race card better than anyone. Corrupt Gov. Blago appoints Roland Burris who gave a ton of money to his campaign in the past, but since he’s black he should get to keep the appointment? Racist black leaders in Chicago have been grumbling for weeks about how Obama’s senate seat is “black” and it must remain “black” because somehow that is what is best for the country. As I said last week, I didn’t know Barack Obama’s senate seat was black. In fact, I’m quite sure it’s exactly the same color as every other seat in the senate.
Seeing as how Obama supposedly transcends race, I find it interesting that Congressman Bobby Rush decided to get up during Blago’s press conference and say this:
He urged people “not to hang or lynch the appointee as you try to castigate the appointer” and, after saying repeatedly that Burris would be the only African-American in the Senate, said that he believed no senator would want “to go on record to deny one African-American from being seated in the US Senate”.
Wow, talk about taking two steps forward and one step back. What difference does it make if he’s the only black member of the senate? The senate has to have a black person in it? Does it also have to have a Hispanic, an Asian, and an Arab as well? Also, what’s with all the talk about lynching? Sounds like he’s been hanging out with Rev. Wright too much.
How about electing someone based on the content of their character and their record of achievement instead of the color of their skin.
