Civil rights advocacy group upset over Kerry remark


Washington-AP _ John Kerry's recent remark about being known as the second black president has brought a heated response from the head of a civil rights group.

Last week, Kerry told the American Urban Radio Network that President Clinton was often known as the first black president. Kerry said he wouldn't be upset if he could earn the right to be the second.

Paula Diane Harris, founder of the Andrew Young National Center for Social Change, has harsh words for Kerry. She says, "John Kerry is not a black man." Harris says Kerry is a "a privileged white man who has no idea what it is to be a poor white in this country, let alone a black man."
