*************OT****************** <g> Sordid liberal extremism: Washington Post reporter Lonnae O'Neil Parker attacked black conservatives as racial betrayers in a Sunday Style section piece on race. Parker declared: "Ultimately, race is political. And I am a partisan." To demonstrate her partisanship, Parker tells of watching the miniseries "Roots" with her cousin Kim: "There is a scene where kidnapped African Kunta Kinte won't settle down in his chains. 'Want me to give him a stripe or two, boss?' the old slave, Fiddler, asks his Master Reynolds. 'Do as I say, Fiddler,' Reynolds answers. 'That's all I expect from any of my niggers.' 'Oh, I love you, Massa Reynolds,' Fiddler tells him. And instantly, my mind draws political parallels. Ward Connerly, I think to myself. Armstrong Williams. Shelby Steele. Hyperbole, some might say. I say dead-on. 'Clarence Thomas,' I say to my Cousin Kim. And she just stares at me. She may be a little tender yet for racial metaphors. I see them everywhere."
