| Civil Rights Group Seeks Kerry Apology | |
| 2004-03-09 | |
| The head of a civil rights and legal services advocacy group wants Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry to apologize for saying he wouldn’t be upset if he could be known as the second black president. "John Kerry is not a black man — he is a privileged white man who has no idea what it is in this country to be a poor white in this country, let alone a black man," said Paula Diane Harris, founder of the Andrew Young National Center for Social Change. I told you it’s going to be fun. Last week, Kerry told the American Urban Radio Network: "President Clinton was often known as the first black president. I wouldn’t be upset if I could earn the right to be the second." Easy, John, all you have to do is cheat on your wife and have "the man" try to put you in jail. Kerry’s spokesman Chad Clanton said: "This was intended as a light-natured remark about President Clinton’s strong legacy with African Americans. It is a legacy that John Kerry would like to build upon if elected president. John Kerry has a record of fighting for civil rights and as president he will continue this fight." "Depending on which group of voters he’s speaking to......is this mike still on?" Harris also criticized civil rights leaders who "sit back and ignore these types of comments, a practice that further insults African Americans. It seems that all these leaders care about is their personal agendas in how a ’John Kerry’ will keep up their personal causes," she said. Well, duh!

| #4 That remark by Kerry will help destroy his "black" vote base, if he ever had one. Now the DNC will really have to depend upon illegal aliens, felons, and the dead constituency to win. They better get their |

| #1 "..It seems that all these leaders care about is their personal agendas in how a ’John Kerry’ will keep up their personal causes," she said. Just as bad is the fact that a John Kerry seems to be a more-than-willing tool. |
