- - Wow! Who'd a thunk it? (http://forums.pelicanparts.com/off-topic-discussions/350281-wow-whod-thunk.html)

Just out of curiosity, what is the source of that story? I can't find a media credit for it.

And she herself is a racist POS!!

When some idiot in the public eye spews forth an outrageous racist remark or two, they're always called to task! And rightly so. Well... are they really? What happens when people are afraid to call a racist a racist, because they'll be called racist? This story was in True's 29 February 2004 issue:

Leading By Example
After a briefing on the coup in Haiti, U.S. Representative Corrine Brown (Democrat from Florida) said President Bush's policy for the country was "racist" and engineered by "a bunch of white men." That didn't sit well with the president's man she was berating, Assistant Secretary of State Roger Noriega. "As a Mexican-American, I deeply resent being called a racist and branded a white man," he told her, but promised that he would "relay that to [Secretary of State] Colin Powell and [national security adviser] Condoleezza Rice the next time I run into them." Brown, who is black, said she was "absolutely not" apologetic for calling Noriega white, telling him "you all look alike to me." (Jacksonville Times-Union) ...Racism: an appalling slur on humanity, unless committed by a black Democratic politician.

Well, being that I'm from Jax, it was local news, and we have to listen to her say it is because she is black
