Bill Clinton, Officially Black..

First Harlem, now the Black Hall of Fame?

We're talking Bill Clinton, so why not?

After all, wasn't Clinton who Toni Morrison called 'America's first black president?'

Well, according to insiders at the Arkansas Black Hall of Fame, Clinton is one of the politicans, their identities still a secret, to be inducted on October 19.

If he makes the final cut, as expected, look for Clinton to leave his Harlem presidential offices for a trip back home, reports our Suzi Parker from Little Rock.

The Black Hall of Fame is part of the Arkansas Regional Minority Supplier Development Council Inc. backed by major state businesses, including Wal-Mart.

Will they mount and stuff him? I hope so.

[evolved_rage]

It begs the question, would these people induct KKK Robert Byrd before the Honorable Supreme Court Justice Thomas??? Byrd would be a shoe in, IMHO...

I have a feeling he will want to 'mount' something else at the ceremony..

Black conservative ping

If you want on (or off) of my black conservative ping list, please let me know via FREEPmail. (And no, you don't have to be black to be on the list!)

Extra warning: this is a high-volume ping list.

[mhking]

I'm too furious to even talk about it right now.

This is so stupid I almost don't have the words..how about Jack Nicklaus in the LPGA Hall of Fame?

[Ciexyz]

Clinton reminds me of a white girl I once knew who wanted to be black. She corn-rowed her hair, listened only to black music, dated only black guys. Hee hee, that's what Clinton longs to be, a black dude. A brother.

"Will they mount and stuff him? I hope so."

Or take him up the White River and feed him to Tysons hogs!

They should hold this ceremony down in the Delta region of Arkansas so they can get some good photos of shacks for a backdrop. They can show how much the standard of living increased in that region.

The Democrats have been in power in Arkansas for 125+ years straight and the Delta is still the Delta. I guess thats not enough time and they should get another 125 years before we are really sure they aren't going to do anything.

There is only one part of Arkansas that is booming and that is northwest Arkansas. It also happens to be the only part of the State that has a Republican base. Coinkydink?

The most Democratic of all regions of Arkansas is the Delta and has been eternally Democratic. It also happens to be the least developed, highest unemployment, least educated, and most ignored. Coinkydink?

Yeah, Bill Clinton did wonders for the Delta region all right. Whatever.

I disagree. I don't think AR Bill wants to be black at all. I think he just wanted 100 percent support from the black community, and he had to settle for 98 percent support. That's why he and his "wife" ended up backing Carl McCall in the NY governor's race. They don't expect McCall to win, but he can keep black backing in line for St. Hillary in her future pursuits.

I would like someone to tell me ONE THING, ONE THING the clintoon did for African-Americans!! Why is he so revered by that group of people? I simply do not get it.

If anything, they should revile him for the simplistic pandering he did towards them to get their vote. Disgusting.

And the Riverboat casinos, that seems to be the only other part growing as well..

I think he is simply exploiting the support of the blacks to fit his own ends, I don't see the special connection between the two..(except for the fact that he appreciates black ladies which may be all it is)

[RightOnline]

"If anything, they should revile him for the simplistic pandering he did towards them to get their vote. Disgusting."

With all due respect, you just don't get it.

It's exactly because of the "simplistic pandering" they love 'im so. It works.

I believe his black support crystalized after the Danny Williams stories of Clinton having a black child and the other rumours that have been going around for years.

So it is not that Clinton is black, but that they think he has a black child somewhere perhaps?

[Gumlegs]

... as if black people in this country don't have enough trouble already.
