It sounds more like Keyes let his mouth get away from him and his spokesman had to come out and do one of those "what Ambassador Keyes meant to say was" clean-up jobs.
Could be. Hopefully Scarborough will ask Keyes about this on his show tonight on MSNBC at 10 ET.
And it ain't going to fly. They want "special" reparations to blacks only, not a tax cut for everyone. I can hear it now "Dr. Keyes believes the way to make up for slavery and centuries of oppression of the black man is to give white businessmen, the new plantation owners, a tax cut!"
I could write all the dim responses to this in my sleep.
