A couple of bizarre recent incidents involving liberals and racism:

Joan Baez recently did a routine during a concert where she pretended to be a black girl named Alice, complete with Stepn Fetchit type dialect.

>>"Baez' monologue was filled with phrases like, "I'se g'win ta" to do this that or the other and dropping all final "g's." Baez as Alice made statements like, "de prezident, he be a racist," and "de prezident, he got a bug fer killin'." Finally, since Bush won the election with 58.7 million votes to Kerry's 55.1 million, Alice observed, "Seems lak haf' de country be plumb crazy."<<

Bill Maher was recently sued for palimony by his former black girlfriend, Coco Johnson, who alleges that he "subjected her to physical and verbal abuse, including insulting, humiliating and degrading racial comments."

I wonder whether the degrading way that black women are treated by rappers has coarsened the general public so that they think treating black women badly is acceptable behavior.
