That Boy's Finger Does Not Need to Be on the Button

[From 4/15/08, about Rep. Geoff Davis’ comment on Barack Obama: “That boy’s finger does not need to be on the button”]

To the editor:

Everyone who was incensed over Jeremiah Wright . . . everyone who was outraged over Barack Obama’s “typical white people” comment . . . everyone who believes that black people in this country never have any reason to feel angry or alienated . . . let me introduce you to Northern Kentucky congressman Geoff Davis, who this weekend called Sen. Obama a “boy.”

Naw, we don’t need a conversation about race in this country. All that’s behind us.
