"Sucking up to a black politician does not mean that you are colorblind," says the subhead on this delightful analysis at National Review Online, a conservative publication the Dems’ proposed assault on conservative talk radio will not affect, unless they try to repeal the First Amendment.
Indeed, we’ve been through this before. In the 1980s when Jesse Jackson ran for the Dem nomination, and again about ten years later when Gen. Colin Powell was touted by insiders for the Rep nomination. Jackson lost, Powell declined to run (and now we know why, he wasn’t a conservative).
Not to mention the Rep appointment of two black secretaries of state, though only Powell was celebrated. Condoleeza Rice was villified even by some American Africans (my preferred locution).
It’s touching to see some American Africans get emotional at Barry’s election. But Big Media’s claim that only now could a black man have been elected is the usual liberal blather. I wish that Barry was descended from American Africans, as Jackson, Powell and Rice are. Instead he’s the first Kenyan-American elected president (his Kenyan father never became a citizen). That’s not nearly the same thing as an election finally resolving America’s racial past and continuing combustion, as Barry’s cult would have us believe. It’s also sad that the first black man elected president is a dishonest radical more skilled at speechifying, breaking campaign finance laws, and promoting vote fraud than anything else.
