Kerry's a black man and investigating a black man's sex life, is racist, doncha know? (laughing)

[KC Burke]

The significant thing in the description of Clinton as "the nation's first black President" was two-fold. It illustrated that the leftist blacks who made and embraced it, saw Clinton as one of their own due to his behavior and background. They embraced a poisoned vision of black countrymen as mired in illegitimacy, poor family life, meager upbringing and thereafter locked into immoral living. What a nasty self assessment. It was off handedly a terrible comment on what stood out in Clinton as a man brought on by self loathing.

Secondly, the Clintonians that embraced it, embraced the image of Blacks as racist as anything one can imagine. It is in effect saying Clinton's terrible character and actions are okay because they compare to the mascot group that they have held captive to their vote buying by policy.

Black Americans, like any other American, will build their own history of service. Thomas, Rice, Powell and many others are doing it in this administration.
