Revoke that Black Card.
Revoke it.
And, I'll hand him his handkerchief when he comes to turn it in.
So ugly.
One commenter on your post said this may backfire on Hillary's campaign. I hope so. You know if she wanted to, she could stop all these attacks on Obama's "blackness" but she's desperate now.
She stopped acting like a front runner.
Trifling is such a good word. I don't know why it kinda went out of fashion.
I am a native Atlantan, an Mr. Young has been a carpetbagger in my city long enough.
Show him the door as you "strip his card."

OH I can't stand any of them!
Take all their cards!
Take 'em now!
On the other hand, this kind of "support" for Hillary might just seal her doom in this race. Black folk of the post-Civil Rights generation, critical thinkers, and contemporary idealists, are flocking to Obama in droves, and they're not put off or intimidated by Obama's cross-over appeal.
So if Hillary is content to have the support of Reverend Chicken Wing and his greezy-fingered congregation, let her have 'em.
The film lives on in many of our hearts...those leaders do not.
Politically OBSOLETE.
I thought I was the only who got heated over the Bill Clinton is America's first black President comments.
I don't think the comment is cute, funny or true. Bill Clinton has no idea what is like to be a 60 year old black man in America.
Thank you for this post.
BTW, my husband wants to know if he can Young's Black Card. And yes, my husband is well aware that Bill Clinton is not black.
I have consulted the committee on the pending status of your husband's black card. While it is true that there's an extra card in circulation due to the revocation of Mr. Young's card, the committee cannot in fairness give the card to a non-black individual.
Extenuating circumstances might require us to one day return the card to Mr. Young, Michael Jackson or others who have lost their way.
In the meantime, we have decided that you and your husband are permitted to share your black card between the two of you. There are certain restrictions, of course. Your husband can only use your black card when accompanied by you, and such use must be limited to four public moments per year.
Thank you for your inquiry.
Do not hesitate to seek further clarification on these matters in the future.
Shelby Steele: "Hillary Clinton is actually 'blacker' than Barack Obama."
WTF??? Somebody is sending out talking points to these deluded, sold-out souls!
I was trying to be neutral about the endorsements...the African-American Community should not be dogmatic. At the very least, people could be indifferent about *O*s candidacy.
BUT WHEN THESE FOOLS COME FORTH, PROCLAIMING that a CLINTON is BLACKER than OBAMA...That's a F#ckin SELL-OUT!
No mo' neutrality over here...I'm callin'em as I SEE 'EM.
I thought Dyson- who I am not a fan of - did a pretty good job defending Obama and breaking down Sambo Shuffling Steele. Steele is so threatened by Obama, it's not even funny.
I actually like the rhyming-reverend Dyson, but I thought he should have been more LIVID regarding Steele calling Hillary blacker than Obama.
Did you see how Dyson responded to the "blacker" comment? He remained a calm, dispassionate intellectual...I would have been indignant.
Perhaps, this subject is too raw emotionally for me...
It's PURE blasphemy to me. Saying that Hillary is blacker than Obama is like saying VANILLA ICE is blacker than TUPAC.
One other thing....
Gennifer Flowers announced today that she's backing Hillary. You'd better believe that Paula Jones and Monica Lewinsky want her to win too.
They all want to be restored to the heightened-level of celebrity that only a Clinton Administration can provide...
WE'VE GOT TO CLOSE THIS CHAPTER OF HISTORY!
Let's give a Community Organizer, NOT Bill's HOES, a platform to impact the country.
Actually, I understood that moment. There comes a time when you either have to APPEAR to be dispassionate...
OR
You're gonna act the fool.
There really IS no in between sometimes.
And, having a Black man calling Hillary Clinton Blacker than Barack Obama is one of those times.
So, Dr. Dyson chose the appearance of dispassionate intellectual. But, man, oh man, take away that television prompter, and I believe Dyson would have gone GHETTO on Steele for that remark.
Dyson could have just bust out laughing and clowned such a ridiculous position...STEELE needed to be discredited then and there. Just like every other figure who would make such foolish comments.
Faboo--I give the GOP much credit for creating divisiveness, but I fear that the true motivator of these folks is jealousy, self-loathing and self-interest.
I just saw the actual video of Young's comments at www.newsmakerslive.com
He starts off well, but when he starts discussing why Bill Clinton is blacker than *O*, it feels like an episode of the Boondocks with Uncle Ruckus...so sad.
I really feel bad for the Vernon Jordans, Andy Youngs, and John Lewises of the world. They are exhibiting loyalty toward the Clintons. Unfortunately, they are all about 2 get caught on the wrong side of history...
As for Shelby Steele, the ultimate comeuppance for someone who writes a book called "Why Obama can't win" is seeing OBAMA WIN.
I sure hope C-Span is covering the Obama-Oprah tour this weekend.
Young, Lewis, and others have disgraced MLK's legacy.

Webber,
It's live tv then; you're thinking too much. Come on, in THAT split second, did your mind actually go to alternative C? I know mine didn't. When you hear complete lunacy, you have to think quick on the feet. I think Dyson did the best he could faced with insanity.

Oh, you didn't bring up Ruckus...damn....but, you're accurate though.

It's quite amusing, watching a Sambo Shuffler like Steele, do this tap dance. I've said it before,and I'll repeat it: Steele and his ilk are so green with envy and repulsion towards Obama, they can't see straight. Obama made all opposite choices of them, and here he is, knocking on the door of DEMOCRATIC Nomination. They are beside themselves.
I sure hope C-Span is covering the Obama-Oprah tour this weekend.
I know that they covered the Iowa event, and I know that at least one of the events is going to be on Road to the Whitehouse on Sunday.
LMAO
Also the man who gave us NAFTA, the DISASTROUS Welfare Reform and the expansion of the Prison Industrial Complex...Clinton is hardly a friend of the Black man.
Classic case of a white person showing Black folk any attention and we're automatically in love...swooning and ish.

Shelby Steele on Hillary Clinton: ‘In many ways, she’s blacker than Barack Obama is.’
THanks for the C-span info. I watched Road-to-the-Whitehouse and saw the *Oh,Oh* tour in SC on the NYTimes...just waiting to see some footage from NH on World News Now, so that I can go to sleep...
How does HRC compensate for Oprah? She brings out Chelsea and fires a volunteer (lol, how do you fire a volunteer???) for forwarding emails/lies about *O*...too little, too late.
Cause that's where his arse needs to go...
And don't forget Wal-Mart's cutting him checks, as well as his attempt to team up with Russell Simmons to market "grillz" over in Africa...that's House Negro shyt right there.
Shame On The Irrelevant
So let these nigras continue to shill for Hillary. She will eventually distance herself from them anyway, and they will eventually either stay home or swing their votes to Obama. Either way, Hillary her doom is sealed.
I'm white and totally agree with your sentiments.
Obama has inspired and given me new hope. At 62 years of age I had thought those emotions ended with the Kennedys and Dr. King.
