After Barack Obama rejected public campaign financing, John McCain and conservatives criticized him for going back on his word. Shouldn't they be happy? Here we have a black man finally getting off public assistance, and the Right still isn't satisfied

SOBU: Dick Gregory Goes Off On Bill Clinton And Malt Liquor

cross-posted to Jack & Jill Politics

A definite highlight of the State of the Black Union was the presence of one of my heroes, Dick Gregory, throwing in much real talk. In this clip, he destroys the idea of Bill Clinton as the first black president.

He also goes after the alleged pathology of black folk (such as being lazy) by reminding us of the assault that many black people and neighborhoods endure on a regular basis. The best line of the entire event has got to be

“What are you puttin in my malt liquor, white boy?!”

Check this joint out. Post it on your blogs!
