RE :”The former congressman quoted the words of civil rights leader Booker T. Washington.”There is a class of colored people who make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs, and the hardships of the Negro race before the public”

Rev Al is obviously playing it up and getting air time and $$$ for it,
but Dems key to success under Obama was by identifying multiple identity victim groups : blacks, gays, hispanics, wimmin and convince them that the GOP is ‘holding you(them) down’ and that the Tea party wants to ‘send you back’.

the Tea party was characterized as a bunch of rich old white males(ex slave masters) , and uneducated white trailer trash hillbillies, the white characters in the Roots mini. It worked great in 2012 especially with Romney as candidate.

Actually he didn't have to play to blacks at all, they came automatically.

It appears that Al’s race-baiting has paid off in another way as well. He appeared to have a real hottie on his arm this week.
