You Can’t Win   [Roger Clegg]

From an L.A. Times op-ed today, about why it’s racist to call Obama "elitist": "`Elitist’ is another word for ‘arrogant,’ which is another word for ‘uppity,’ that old calumny applied to blacks who stood up for themselves." Of course, "humble" is another word for "subservient," which is another word for "slavish." I guess it’s best not to say anything about Senator Obama, but isn’t ignoring someone because he’s black something that racists do, too?
