Interesting enough, I wasn't even aware we had a black Republican in the state legislature until Linda Chapa LaVicious (oops... LaVia) made a quip against him.

I figured the RATs indeed had "all the minorities" since they had a veto proof majority and there hadn't been any mention by the media of minorities in the GOP caucus since the lone hispanic Republican from Cicero "lost" a rigged election against a hispanic RAT who didn't even campaign for the job.

It's interesting she's only counting John Anthony as "half" a minority. According to media reports, he has black and Puerto Rican ancestry, so as long as Luis Guiterrez counts as a 100% "minority", then this guy should too. Of course the media double standard where Obama is biologically 50% white American ancestry but counted as 100% black by the media is obvious, though Erika Harold is likewise 50% black and 50% white, and also referred to as a "black" candidate.

In any case, maybe LaVicious has done us a favor by elevating this guy's name statewide. If would be fun if he won higher office and it pissed off the RATs.

(Off topic but interesting sidenote: The RAT bill to ban therapy for unwanted same sex attraction went down in flames, one rare sign of good news in the People's Republic of Illinois. Apparently the RATs can't even resurrect it again for a new vote later this session because it was defeated by an outright majority (though about 1/3rd of the legislators weren't even there for the vote). My RAT state rep. was one of the politicians who voted YES on gay marriage but then NO on banning therapy for same sex attraction. Weird stuff.)

I don’t know much about John Anthony, but one way in which all the information we’ve heard about him might be correct is if one of his parents is a black Puerto Rican and the other parent is a white Anglo. That wouldn’t make the comments by Linda Chapa LaVia (that would make a great name for a female boxer) any less stupid and insulting, but it would explain them.

How the hell would banning that be remotely constitutional?
