BRITISH BLACK BLAMES BUSH

Former British MP Oona King has an article in the Guardian describing her recent visit to the United States. Ms King is right into claiming victim status for blacks, with the introdution to the article stating that her father was "forced to flee the US". Actually, Preston King decided to flee the US as the result of a beef with his Draft Board – according to Mr King, the dispute started with the Draft Board's refusal to address him as Mister King and just sort of escalated from there.

In the article itself Ms King bemoans the plight of New Orleans's blacks, observing:

Changing the realities of race in America is a painfully slow process. It took 100 years from black emancipation, at the end of the civil war in 1865, to black enfranchisement with the Voter Registration Act of 1965. And yet when Bush stole the White House from under the nose of disenfranchised African-Americans at the turn of the millennium, it was clear that nothing much had changed.

And nothing is going to change as long as there are so many prominent blacks pitching crap like this. Boo hoo.
