Black Dem Blasts 'Plantation' Hillary Clinton
A high profile black Democrat in New York City is blasting Hillary Clinton for playing racial politics with her Martin Luther King Day tribute, saying her use of the term "plantation" was "condescending" to African Americans.
"I think her speech was contrived and condescending," City Councilman Charles Barron told ABC Radio's Sean Hannity on Tuesday.
"I don't like the idea that she used 'plantation' with a black audience," Barron complained. "I think that's a very serious analogy and I understand when we [blacks] use it from time to time. But that has been a very horrific experience. And the Democrats haven't [treated] us a whole lot better than the Republicans."
Barron, a former Black Panther who sat behind Mrs. Clinton as she addressed the King Day gathering at Harlem's Canaan Baptist Church, said he had no problem with the other part of her comments.
"I agree with her that [the Bush administration] has been the worst administration in the history of America," Barron said.

He said he had no problem with the other racist statements that were directed against whites and Republicans. Typical racist response to a typical Demon-Rat racist attack.
Pssssst! Hillary. Talk to them about flapjacks. They really like it when you compare everything to flapjacks.
lol.. you just made my mornin
Montel Williams said, on Dayside yesterday, he found it very offensive and felt the timing and the venue were in very poor taste.
Isn't this the same Barron who famously said something to the effect that whites need to be b!tch-slapped, and he'd do it if one were there at that moment.
Yeah, like the MSM will run with this story.
They're trying to say things to insult each other. THey've got a fake black man on and they're defending their right to insult him on air. They just did.
Hannity: "Do you want to slap me?"
Barron: "You're not even worth slapping."
Right after Hannity said Hilary shouldn't have been in the black gathering with blacks sitting behind her.
It's a beautiful thing. Let's hope all 3 of them get fired for that commpletely inept segment.
I was sorely tempted to break my cover at DU and dare the nitwit to go up to Barron and tell him personally he is a fake black and works for Fox News.
He'll still vote for her, show up on stage with her, tell his constituents to vote for her, fund raise with her, and take her phone calls. It's a simple case of gums flapping.
"Oh no you Dih-Ent!"
Can you still get flapjacks at Mahatma Ghandi's gas station?
For your edification, Mr. Barron...
Apparently, Mr. Barron has never heard of James Buchanan, Franklin Pierce, Warren G. Harding, Rutherford B. Hayes and others.
But then Mr. Barron is a putz. I hope he knows what that means.
I am so glad MLK day is over.
Every year it's the same thing. All the black leaders whining and moaning and complaining how racist this country is and how no progress has been made for 100 years.
Yes, there *is* racism in this country - a lot of it coming from those so-called black leaders.
'Barren' needs a civics lesson.
