Black As Your Soul, I’d Rather Die Than Give You Control

AUSTIN, Tx. — Remember what we were saying about "arrogant" being the new "uppity"? I see Attaturk beat me to this, but all Charles Krauthammer has done with this column is demonstrate that he has a reaaaaaal problem with black people who exhibit the sort of behavior that every white politician ever has exhibited.

There’s nothing new about narcissism in politics. Every senator looks in the mirror and sees a president. Nonetheless, has there ever been a presidential nominee with a wider gap between his estimation of himself and the sum total of his lifetime achievements?

Krauthammer’s initial draft surely included a couple N-words. He typed them, gratified that he was braaaaave enough to say what he was thinking, exhaled a self-satisfied sigh, deleted them, and got back to the work of being part of an America that we have a chance to discredit and humiliate.
