...three of them claim they want the Republican Party to appeal more to blacks and other minorities. But not one of them had the courage to say what Al Gore and Bill Bradley said, that the flag's an offensive symbol of white supremacy that ought to come down right away. If Republicans think more black folks are going to vote for them after this performance from their front runners, they're really STUPID...
...right," said Buckwheat. "It's like there's a deliberate effort to whitewash all that ugly history. Take the national Capitol in Washington. Many of the huge sandstone blocks it's built out of were quarried by slave laborers. In fact, The Statue of Freedom--the figure of a Native American woman warrior that stands on the dome--was cast in bronze by slave laborers in 1863 and hoisted up there.

In contrast, the rapist generally operates on a hit-and-run basis--which may be all right for stocking sperm banks, but is not quite so effective if the goal is to produce offspring who will survive in a challenging environment. The children of guys who raped-and-ran must have been a scrawny lot and doomed to end up on some leopard's lunch menu...
