Joe Biden’s latest patronizing brain explosion is puzzling even in the “you know what he meant” sense. Because, actually, I don’t. Is Obama more articulate or clean cut or brighter than Frederick Douglas was? Or MLK?
And more relevantly for today, what about Condi Rice, Colin Powell, Clarence Thomas, JC Watts, or Michael Steele? It’s ironic that those five have been all but excommunicated from black America (even more by white leftists than by other blacks) for acting “too white,” while apparently the same disposition in a black Democrat is not only allowable but praiseworthy.
