"You do not own, and you are not the arbiters of, African-American authenticity," said Paige, who rose from segregated Mississippi to become President Bush's education chief.

Although the Bush team will take a lot of flack for this, I think that this is good. First Bill Cosby spoke out, now Secretary Paige. If this is the beginning of a trend in which articulate, successful african americans are no longer afraid to speak out and criticize black culture and prominent black leaders who are out for themselves, then this is way overdue.

The No Child Left Behind law of 2001, Paige said, is dedicated to closing the learning gap between blacks and whites and giving school choice to poor and minority students
And Kerry, Kennedy, and many other dims are against it. Wonder why?

It is all about market share.
The NAACP has been losing market share and doesn't have the market share it once did.
As a result, the squeaky wheel is sounding off once again.

Kennedy was the Senate sponsor on this bill and was present at the signing. If he is against it now, it only shows you how evil Democrats are.
To: nypokerface
We need to have more of this. The louder the better.
For decades the Democrats have decreed that all black Republicans and/or conservatives are Uncle Toms, and the Republicans have remained silent. It's past time to question this attitude. I believe it's a debate blacks need to hear.

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

Wish Frances Rice would revise her letter to the DNC and send it to NAACP....So many people are unaware of the TRUE history of the GOP and black community...They need to not only hear platitudes from conservatives, but also list the facts loud, strong and repetitively.

"Paige said. "I long for the day when our nation's education policy will not be grist for the partisan mill - when we can work together, black and white, rich and poor, for the sake of our children."
Don't hold your breath, Dr. Paige!
