U.S.: No Kerry, you'll not be the "second" black president of the U.S.

I still can't get over Toni Morrison's, Bill Clinton's, and John Kerry's chutzpah (pronounced khootz-pah)! Somebody, apart from CaribPundit, has finally spoken up, a week late. I guess, they needed time to think about whether Kerry, the rich white boy and Boston brahmin-wannabe, could be the "second" black president of America. That blacks in this country have accepted Clinton as the "first" black president means that they've no ground on which to claim that America has never had a black president. Yup. In this rounds, you gotta be careful what basket you take.

The head of a civil rights and legal services advocacy group wants Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry to apologize for saying he wouldn't be upset if he could be known as the second black president.

"John Kerry is not a black man, [how long did it take her to figure that one out?] he is a privileged white man who has no idea what it is in this country to be a poor white in this country, let alone a black man, [and this one, too]" said Paula Diane Harris, founder of the Andrew Young National Center for Social Change.
The reaction would have been instantaneous had GWB been crass enough to make such a statement. The remarkable thing is, Kerry thinks Bush is stupid! As to the protest and call for an apology, better late than never, I guess.
