Last night’s plenary with Julian Bond
February 8th, 2008 by Kevin BryantOk, so why aren’t there politicians as eloquent and well spoken as the NAACP chairman? If there’s anything to make you aware your president isn’t much more than an ape who is barely sapient, it’s listening to someone speak who has an excellent grasp of the English language, uses actually relevant cultural references, and makes real points.
At least he’s gone soon enough…

It was a great speech, including the part where he talked about how the religious right is hypocritical in the way they pick and choose what to condemn from the Bible (e.g. homosexuality, but not divorce). I loved it when I got that e-mail too.
Honestly, I think he had no idea that came from an e-mail, although his speechwriter should have known better. Regardless, what a nice speech from a prominent member of the African-American community in a city where the the AA community is not remotely gay-positive.
