Imagine a civil rights trailblazer from the 50"s going into a coma and waking up in the year 2004 and watching the news what would his first speech sound like?

Fifty years after the Civil Rights movement began, it still seems to be hard for Blacks to get ahead. And, in the past, the NAACP and more recently the Congressional Black Caucus have always stepped up to the plate to ferret out the racism and correct the injustice.

Recently however, it seems that the forces of racism have reared their ugly heads again, but the NAACP and the CBC are eerily silent.

Recently, Barbara Boxer and Ted Kennedy have been bashing Dr. Condoleezza Rice in public. Senator Richard Lugar pointed out that Dr. Rice had answered more questions than any other nominee for Secretary of State.

The reason for this criticism can only be racism. The same kind of racism that the Dixicrats practiced in the 1950"s. Its time for the racists to step aside and stop standing in the way of the first ever black female Secretary of State.

End speech.

Now of course I don't believe any of the above. This is nothing more than partisan politics and I understand that. I also understand with the mess in Iraq, that her thoughts, policies and advice should come under the microscope.

I thought that the NAACP however was for the advancement of Colored people. That"s what the CP in NAACP stands for right? So I ask anyone, where is Julian Bond? Where is the bombastic ignorance flowing from his mouth defending this black woman? Where is he?

Where is Congressional Black Caucus, Jesse and the rest of the Civil Rights Industry protesting?

Perhaps the forces of Liberal politics (and not racism) have silenced them.
