Rod Paige gets ignored by the media.
This from another black blogger, "Ramblings Journal."
Paige blasts NAACP over comments
Rod Paige, the present Secretary of Education, and a black son of Mississippi, condemned comments by the NAACP leadership about conservatives in general, and black conservatives in particular this week.

"You do not own, and you are not the arbiters of, African-American authenticity,"<font color=black> said Paige, who rose from segregated Mississippi to become President Bush's education chief.
Paige took aim at two NAACP leaders, chairman Julian Bond and president Kweisi Mfume, for what he called <font color=blue>"hateful and untruthful rhetoric about Republicans and President Bush."<font color=black> At the convention, NAACP officials have described some black organizations as mouthpieces of white conservatives and have said Bush's education law disproportionately hurts minorities.
And to show just how much or how little the NAACP is the be-all, end-all for black thought, President Bush will be speaking before the Urban League at their conference next week.
Of course, the alphabet networks will conveniently ignore that, won't they?
