Oreo Wars?

Democrats have officially descended to the level of downright silliness in their ongoing war against the rest of the world. Now they’re pelting Black Republicans with oreo cookies at rallies (supposedly to show they are black on the outside but white on the inside).

It’s time for the rest of us to break out the heavy artillery .... Chunky Chocolate Chip cookies (to show them that we think they’re nothing but thick, brown, lumpy shit s).

‘Party Trumps Race’ For Steele Foes
(WASHINGTON TIMES)

Black Democratic leaders in Maryland say that racially tinged attacks against Lt. Gov. Michael S. Steele in his bid for the U.S. Senate are fair because he is a conservative Republican. Such attacks against the first black man to win a statewide election in Maryland include pelting him with Oreo cookies during a campaign appearance, calling him an “Uncle Tom” and depicting him as a black-faced minstrel on a liberal Web log.

Operatives for the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC) also obtained a copy of his credit report—the only Republican candidate so targeted.  But black Democrats say there is nothing wrong with “pointing out the obvious. There is a difference between pointing out the obvious and calling someone names,” said a campaign spokesman for Kweisi Mfume, a Democratic candidate for U.S. Senate and former president of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People.

State Sen. Lisa A. Gladden, a black Baltimore Democrat, said she does not expect her party to pull any punches, including racial jabs at Mr. Steele, in the race to replace retiring Democratic U.S. Sen. Paul S. Sarbanes. “Party trumps race, especially on the national level,” she said. “If you are bold enough to run, you have to take whatever the voters are going to give you. It’s democracy, perhaps at its worse, but it is democracy.”

Delegate Salima Siler Marriott, a black Baltimore Democrat, said Mr. Steele invites comparisons to a slave who loves his cruel master or a cookie that is black on the outside and white inside because his conservative political philosophy is, in her view, anti-black.

Obituary

Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton and Louis Farrakhan are not fit to sit at this brave woman’s feet. She did more to end racism in this country by just sitting down and quietly saying “no” than all three have done with all their screaming and blackmail. She will be missed. Rest in peace, Mrs. Parks ...

DETROIT (AP)

Nearly 50 years ago, Rosa Parks made a simple decision that sparked a revolution. When a white man demanded she give up her seat on a Montgomery, Ala., bus, the then 42-year-old seamstress said no. At the time, she couldn’t have known it would secure her a revered place in American history. But her one small act of defiance galvanized a generation of activists, including a young Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., and earned her the title “mother of the civil rights movement.”

Mrs. Parks died Monday evening at her home of natural causes, with close friends by her side, said Gregory Reed, an attorney who represented her for the past 15 years. She was 92. Monique Reynolds, 37, a native of Montgomery, Ala., called Mrs. Parks an inspiration who had lived to see the changes brought about by the civil rights movement.

“Martin Luther King never saw this, Malcolm X never saw this,” said Reynolds, who now lives in Detroit. “She was able to see this and enjoy it.” In 1955, Jim Crow laws in place since the post-Civil War Reconstruction required separation of the races in buses, restaurants and public accommodations throughout the South, while legally sanctioned racial discrimination kept blacks out of many jobs and neighborhoods in the North.

Mrs. Parks, an active member of the local chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, was riding on a city bus Dec. 1, 1955, when a white man demanded her seat. She refused, despite rules requiring blacks to yield their seats to whites. Two black Montgomery women had been arrested earlier that year on the same charge, but Mrs. Parks was jailed. She also was fined $14.

U.S. Rep John Conyers, in whose office Mrs. Parks worked for more than 20 years, remembered the civil rights leader as someone whose impact on the world was immeasurable, but who never sought the limelight. “Everybody wanted to explain Rosa Parks and wanted to teach Rosa Parks, but Rosa Parks wasn’t very interested in that,” he said. “She wanted them to understand the government and to understand their rights and the Constitution that people are still trying to perfect today.”

Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick said he felt a personal tie to the civil rights icon: “She stood up by sitting down. I’m only standing here because of her.” Speaking in 1992, Mrs. Parks said history too often maintains “that my feet were hurting and I didn’t know why I refused to stand up when they told me. But the real reason of my not standing up was I felt that I had a right to be treated as any other passenger. We had endured that kind of treatment for too long.”

Her arrest triggered a 381-day boycott of the bus system organized by a then little-known Baptist minister, the Rev. King, who later earned the Nobel Peace Prize for his work. “At the time I was arrested I had no idea it would turn into this,” she said 30 years later. “It was just a day like any other day. The only thing that made it significant was that the masses of the people joined in.”

The Montgomery bus boycott, which came one year after the U.S. Supreme Court’s landmark declaration that separate schools for blacks and whites were “inherently unequal,” marked the start of the modern civil rights movement. The movement culminated in the 1964 federal Civil Rights Act, which banned racial discrimination in public accommodations.

After taking her public stand for civil rights, Mrs. Parks had trouble finding work in Alabama. Amid threats and harassment, she and her husband, Raymond, moved to Detroit in 1957. She worked as an aide in Conyers’ Detroit office from 1965 until retiring Sept. 30, 1988. Raymond Parks died in 1977. Mrs. Parks said upon retiring from her job with Conyers that she wanted to devote more time to the Rosa and Raymond Parks Institute for Self Development. The institute, incorporated in 1987, is devoted to developing leadership among Detroit’s young people and initiating them into the struggle for civil rights.

“Rosa Parks: My Story,” was published in February 1992. In 1994 she brought out “Quiet Strength: The Faith, the Hope and the Heart of a Woman Who Changed a Nation,” and in 1996 a collection of letters called “Dear Mrs. Parks: A Dialogue With Today’s Youth.”

Most Ridiculous Item Of The Day

Wachovia Bank is going to pay “black-blackmail” and apologize for slaves it never owned before it ever existed (thanks to Fark.com for that beautiful headline) ....

Charlotte, NC-- Wachovia Corporation is following up its apology for its slave-owning past by offering to help educate people about black history. The bank this week announced that it had discovered two predecessor institutions owned slaves.

The Charlotte-based bank also says it will make a financial contribution to education in black history. A spokeswoman declined to say how much the bank would pay, saying it wants to avoid appearing to place a price tag on the damage caused by slavery.

The historic investigation came after criticism by a member of the Chicago Board of Aldermen. She said Wachovia lied on a statement in January claiming it had no evidence of slave-owning by its predecessor institutions.

Chicago law requires companies it contracts with to disclose any past profits from slavery. Alderman Dorothy Tillman said she’ll review Wachovia’s follow-up statement and decide whether to urge the city to break its contract with the bank.

Hmmmmmm .... slavery reparations .... Chicago .... Aldermen .... hmmmmmmmm .... I smell a Jesse Jackson RAT in there somewhere. Go ahead, prove me wrong .... if you can.
