This is so funny, in the manner of a wake. The NAACP is the oldest civil rights organization in the country. No kidding. Is Strom Thurmond the oldest United States Senator in the history of the country? Did he chase women? Did he catch some? Did Martin, Jesse and Ralph? Did a lot of people change the old ways, both black and white? And finally, isn't it about time that the country give up its self destructive racial obsession? Are there any arguments that we have not yet heard? Is it time for the racial careerists to retire with their riches? Is it time to let the oldest minority in the country compete with the newest?

This is not a question. It is time for Trent Lott, Robert Byrd, Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, Strom Thurmond, Tom Daschle, Roger Wilkins, and every other racist, real or imagined, in this country to exit the stage. Then perhaps it can be said, honestly, "Free at Last."

Then perhaps it can be said, honestly, "Free at Last."

The democrats never want that song to be sung and it is evident that by voting 97% democrat, blacks don't either. Without the race issue democrats have nothing and they have parlayed that strategy into the most virulent form of racism this country has known since republicans ended slavery.
