Just another dead commie.
No comment.
just one of several race hustlers I will not miss.
Hear me Jesse? Louis? obammy?
There was a time, several decades ago, when I had a modicum of respect for this man. Lately, not so much.
One of the original race pimps.
Puff pieces on cnn and usa yesterday. Read the article on that famous encyclopedia website that begins with wiki to see a sample of the poison he spewed.
Married a white woman
RIP
Dead?
Oh.
I’ll say aloud what many are thinking but are too well-mannered to say: Good riddance to bad rubbish.
Funniest thing Bond ever did:

Way long ago when self-anointed Civil Rights Leaders could still poke fun at themselves.
RIP.

Bond had a cameo in the movie Ray, one of the few contemporary movies I like.
Rest in peace, Mr. Bond. I didn’t like your politics and race BS, but that doesn’t matter now.
Julian Bond backs IRS tea party targeting
By KEVIN ROBILLARD | 5/14/13
Civil rights icon Julian Bond defended the IRS for targeting tea party groups, on Tuesday, labeling them the Taliban wing of American politics.
I think its entirely legitimate to look at the tea party,
Bond said on MSNBC. Here are a group of people who are admittedly racist, who are overtly political, whove tried as best they can to harm President Obama in every way they can.
I would love to read the obituary of another guy in public life that slightly resembles a younger Bond.
meh.

My first thought was will the WH and federal agencies lower the flag to half-staff?
"Presidential candidate John Kerry clenched his fist and thrust it into the air at yesterdays NAACP convention in Philadelphiain what appeared to be a Black Power salute reminiscent of some of the race-based separatist movements of the 1960s.
The Kerry campaign refused to confirm that their candidate intended to offer the controversial gesture, the New York Post said.
But photographs of the moment left little room for any other interpretation. Kerrys Black Power salute was delivered from the podium while standing side-by-side with NAACP president Kweisi Mfume."
