Dunces of the Day - Donna Brazile & Rev Joseph Lowery

From her CNN commentary 1-20-09:

"Obama's election revealed the possibility of three new truths for African-Americans: White America may not be as racist as African-Americans thought they were; a solution to our country's lingering racial problem may eventually be found; and the Rev. Martin Luther King's dream that one day all people will be judged by the content of their character rather than the color of their skin is alive and within reach."

Now cut to Rev. Lowery who closed his "benediction" with the following:

"Lord, in the memory of all the saints who from their labors rest, and in the joy of a new beginning, we ask you to help us work for that day when black will not be asked to get back, when brown can stick around when yellow will be mellow -- when the red man can get ahead, man -- and when white will embrace what is right".

Now one of these people (Brazile) is a hypocrite, who fails to challenge Rev. Lowery on his statement and the other (Lowery) is just a plain hypocrite who made a bigoted statement. But yet both of these people hold themselves up to be among the enlightened but really they are so caught up in their own prejudices they can't seem to see their prejudice.

Wecome to the DOD list folks! You've earned it.
