A spokeswoman for the Heinz Foundation said the prospective first lady would give more if she were more confident the money would be managed properly. Is she a Republican after all ?

"African-hyphen-American belongs to blacks," Heinz Kerry's spokesman told reporters, insisting that it was proper for his boss to call herself African American as long as no hyphen was used or intended."
So does "-" mean black? Is Michael Jackson an "African-(hypen) American" or "African American" or "white American"? Where DOES color fit into all this?
This all goes to show the absurdity of labeling just as the students at Roger William were trying to show.

Is she a Republican after all ? Actually, a recent article I read here says yes. She was a registered Republican until last year.
Go figure huh?
