Actually, there are two.

and "Richard Cohen"
;)

When I was 11, my father thought it was time to show my sister and me the nation's capital. I have only vague memories of that trip - the heat, the expanse of the White House's grounds, the Jefferson Memorial. I do remember we took Route 1 through Baltimore (no I-95 yet) and it was there that I saw my first sign with the word "colored" on it - a rooming house, I think. This was 1952, and the United States was an apartheid nation. It is Sarah Palin who brings back these memories. In her new book, she reportedly takes Michelle Obama to task for her supposedly infamous remark from the 2008 campaign: "For the first time in my adult life, I am proud of my country because it feels like hope is finally making a comeback." Instantly, Republicans pounced. Among the first to do so was Cindy McCain, who said, "I have and always will be proud of my country." It was a cheap shot, but her husband's selection of Palin for the ticket and plenty of cheap shots from Palin("death panels," etc.) were yet to come.

We cannot live in the past. Of more pressing concern is how 21st century Blacks continue to sell themselves into slavery over an ideology that has neither the intention nor capability of advancing them; and how race pimps like Richard Cohen continue to protect this "peculiar institution."
If you don't believe Sarah Palin, check with Paul Krugman. You know him. He's the Nobel Prize winner for Economics. He "knows everything."
Because my Husband is Jewish and I am not, Black friends that vote Democrat have been slamming Jews in front of me for decades.
It is really a visceral hatred, and no amount of my telling them that judging all Jews by a few Shyster Lawyers is as bad as judging all Black People by the thugs that Rob and steal for a living.
Mr. Cohen lives in the "Yenom Velt" world, not the real world and until he lives with the real people, not the Snobs, and stops thinking for others, he will be mostly ignored.
As usual he does not know what he is talking about, but since when did that ever keep him from writing TRASH like this.
I think Michelle was “victimized” by affirmative action—and BO could have been.
Is it a typo? Shouldn’t the names be reversed?
Walter Williams actually used to give them away on his web page.
Apparently Mr. Cohen is under the odd impression that she only governed white people.
The more they try to drag the Governor down, the more powerful and relevant she becomes. For someone supposedly irrelevant, much ink (metaphor)is spilled in protesting her relevance. This becomes more fun to watch every day.
This????
From an OBAMA SUPPORTER????
Every leftist believes he will be weilding the whip instead of under its lash.
Res ipsa loquitur [And unfortunately all too common among Lefty Blacks.]
Wow, I don’t know if I’ve ever read a bigger load of race-baiting tripe.
They have their history, we have our history, you have your history, the guy across the street has his history, I have my history....WE ALL HAVE A HISTORY! No big freaking deal in MHO
Good Lord, I do not want to see all that nastiness. It tells you just how stupid that leftist idiot is. The man cannot see the forest for the trees. He really needs to start paying more attention to people that are not in his circle of Snobs, and get with the real world.

No. He's a journ O(bama) list.
. . . and Michelle O. wasn't even a gleam in her daddy's eye.Thomas Sowell points out that he has publicly dined with a blonde woman in Atlanta, without even arousing a controversy. An act which would have been more than his life was worth to have done before 1952 . . .
Sometimes even a year can make all the difference in some things . . . Kerry wanted us to think that it was awful that Bush didn't maintain his flying proficiency late in Vietnam - but the USAF was being withdrawn from SE Asia, and ANG piloting billets - rather than ANG pilots - were at a premium.Timing is everything.
You’re right. Also, there were thousands of black slave owners in New Orleans alone and there were black slave breeders who sold their own children into slavery. One of the first slaves to be freed became a slave breeder.
