On Thursday, Mfume accused the Bush administration of treating the black community cynically by courting the black vote while stiffing black organizations like the NAACP.

''We're not fools,'' he said.

Yes, Queasy, you are. This President is reaching out to blacks without your outdated politics of class warfare and making everything a racial issue. The game is ending, Queasy, and you're going to be on the losing side. Your rhetoric is old, and your politics are cold.

Why can't Mfume realize that when the President speaks he speaks to ALL Americans. Does he expect special (ie unequal) treatment?

"This President is reaching out to blacks without your outdated politics of class warfare and making everything a racial issue."

They're just mad because the president didn't ask the permission of the massa racebaiters to talk to black people. He just assumes that blacks are the same as any other Americans. The nerve of the president to treat them as equal. < /sarcasm >
