Just so you know, Rep. Corinne Brown (D-Fl) is exempt from being labeled a racist because she’s a black liberal, so don’t even try to call her one. She and her ilk can say whatever pops into their heads.
In a briefing about the crisis in Haiti, Brown called the Bush administration “a bunch of white men” because she thinks President Bush’s policy on Haiti is racist. I believe her comment was intended to offend.
When State Department official Roger Noriega, who is of Mexican descent, took offense at being called “white” (a slur!), Brown said, “[Y]ou all look alike to me.”
Expect no 24-hour news coverage from CNN or apologies from Ms. Brown. “I just want to save the Haitian people,” she said.
The last time I checked, the Democratic leadership consists of “a bunch of white men” and one white woman, House Minority Whip Nancy Pelosi (I don’t count vice-chairs or seconds-in-command). Correct me if I’m wrong.
They all need to take a vacation.
