The GOP’s New Black Hope


Despite his fervent dismissal of Palin’s “don’t retreat, reload” directive to Dr. Laura’s for her N-word spew, I hope Michel Faulkner’s GOP floss to unseat Charlie Rangel is met with a Harlem toss. Rangel might be perched on the ethical toilet for failure to fully disclose but the black former NY Jets footballer is stooping low in his prey on Harlem’s poor.

According to the blog, Intermex Financial, Faulkner recently said, “Wouldn’t it be nice if the poor kicked the liberals out of their lives? Imagine if they told them we don’t want you to be our pimps anymore.”

Faulkner’s party affiliation is unclear, considering reports that he’s launched the new Jobs Now Party; yet, the tone of his campaign couldn’t be more crystal. The American public has been repeatedly shown that political pimping stands at full tilt boogie. I mean, doesn’t the good Rev. know that classism tactics don’t pave the way to the congressional kingdom?

Let’s hope Harlem’s citizens won’t succumb to the same shuck and jive as those who pulled the lever for Alvin Greene in South Carolina. This is a new day and age, and the skin color shielding a candidate’s bones is hardly a barometer for integrity.
