The bigger issue here is that George Bush is effectively saying "screw you" to one of the most prominent and esteemed organizations in America, an organization that is the most important representative of African-Americans and which still leads the fight for civil rights in America. This isn't a failure to send a message to supporters of civil rights, this is a deliberate decision to send a message that, forty years after the passage of the Civil Rights Act, there are still two sides to the debate on civil rights, and Bush is on the side of those opposed to "special" rights for people who aren't white, Christian, and heterosexual. By deliberately blowing off the NAACP four straight years, Bush has signaled that he doesn't view himself as President of all Americans. He's the President of just those Americans who look like him and agree with him. "Two Americas" indeed.

Read it all here.
Remember when President Fuck The Blacks said he was 'a uniter, not a divider'? All I know is he's a lying sack of shit.
Note to African-Americans: Vote this year and vote Democratic. Another 4 years of President Gentleman Farmer and we'll all be picking cotton again.
