Hugh Hewitt points out the bigotry of the New York Times today where they felt the need to point out the economic status of a black preacher. It is clear the Times doesn't feel that T.D. Jakes is a "real" African-American because he is rich and supports the President. Have you noticed that Jesse Jackson's wealth never seems to get mentioned whenever he makes a statement?
The article's headline tells us that "Bush's Status With Blacks Takes Hit". It says a poll shows that "two-thirds of African-Americans said the government's response to the crisis would have been faster if most of the victims had been white". If you read further down, this may be an indication of good news.
But when I read the article, it sounds like there is good news for Bush. In 2004 89% of black voters voted against President Bush. Since African-Americans already don't like the President, is his status really taking a hit? The good news is only two thirds of them think he is a racist. That sounds like progress to me.
