Shameful


So the only viable token person of color that the Republican Party can find to fill the US Senate seat is, of course, a minstrel.

Although I don't doubt there are very cerebral and well-rounded people of color who happen to be Republicans, but really, isn't this prominently featured depiction of Keyes a reflection of what the white Republican leadership truly thinks of the Black or Latino Republicans in this country?

While this Alan Keyes is busy amusing the white folks and trying to convince more people of color to vote against their best economic interest, I hope that the informed Democrats of Illinois can step up to the plate and give Barack Obama the chance he deserves.
