For shame... - 8/28/2013 2:14:15 PM

African-American leaders who did receive an invitation to speak at included Rep. John Lewis (D-Ga.) – who participated in the original March – Martin Luther King III, MSNBC host Al Sharpton and movie stars Jamie Foxx, Oprah Winfrey and Forest Whitaker.


Not surprising.

My slave didn't get an invite either, I expect there are a few black folks weren't invited to that particular soiree.

Two thoughts:

(a) It actually would have been nice to hear from a Republican.

(b) That said, a senator who lacks the savvy and/or grit to elbow his way into an event he cares about is probably in the wrong line of work.

Right, seriously, I'm sure he knew it was coming up. If he didn't get an invite, why didn't he call the organizers and volunteer?

Also, I wonder how far in advance they invite and book speakers for these kinds of events? He's only been in the Senate for 8 months - they may have made the list before he was appointed.

Not enough angry white men left anymore.

I find you post racist. If your post is an example of republican thinking, why would anyone vote for the party ?

It`s bad enough with State Legislatures finding new ways of disenfranchisement, so tell me just why Black Americans wouldnt, indeed shouldnt, vote for more enlightened politicians ?

I look forward to your application of this same standard when you criticize any group for something.
