Interlude: Politico-Racial Genetics

When Barack Obama is the Democratic nominee, you'll hear conservatives talking about Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson. Then you'll hear conservatives talking about Louis Farrakhan and Malcolm X. Next you'll hear conservatives talking about Mumia Abu-Jamal and Eldridge Cleaver and H. Rap Brown and Huey Newton and Stokely Carmichael. In the end, we may even hear Newt Gingrich talking about Frantz Fanon. Conservatives will be talking about Obama's whole pedigree of uppity n*****s, going straight back to Ham.

Liberals, meanwhile, will be talking about George W. Bush.
