When Hillary Clinton used her Martin Luther King Day tribute to accuse Republicans of running Washington like an Old South "plantation" - she knew whereof she spoke.
In fact, when Hillary and Bill ran Araksnas, Dr. King didn't even have a holiday in his honor - at least not all to himself.

post # 90 ------- Hillary on the Old “Plantation”
I'd post this, but I'm computer illiterate in nine different languages.
PS: For the record, I promise you I did NOT photoshop that picture.
NOPE! post # 90 ............
Amen to that!
I believe one or two black Republicans have used the "plantation" phrase, but for better or worse I think that's a different context when it's a black-on-black conversation. Not a lilly-white politician trying to sound "hip" to a black audience on Martin Luther King Day.
What next for Hillary? Saying to an St. Patrick's Day audience that "the Republicans are starving the Democrats like the Irish starved during the potato famine. And you know it's true, boyo!" Several other ridiculous examples suggest themselves.
Hillary owes the biggest apology to her audience, for being so condescending. Her actions, not scripted but in response to a searching question as to what exactly are the differences between Democrats and Republicans, reveals a bigotry (in her stereotypical thinking) more fundamental than anything pinned on the Republicans.
Coffee spit on screen alert!!! :)
