Missouri State Dem Senator Jamilah Nasheed wrote this drivel about how racist the rodeo clown was for wearing an Obama mask:
By Honorable Jamilah Nasheed
While the disrespectful and demeaning portrayal of the president as a rodeo clown at the Missouri State Fair is yet another reminder – like the Paula Deen exposure and Trayvon Martin verdict – that racism in America in this twenty-first century remains ever alive and well, I would caution us not to be so captivated and consumed by such obvious and transient instances of racism that we fail to deal with the institutional racism that is entrenched and more important.
While my political colleagues and others were rightfully flooding the media to lambast the rodeo incident last week, no mention was made of an announcement that has far greater significance to blacks than a two bit racist clown act. This past week it was announced that the state has decided on the awardee for the contract to perform what is known as a “disparity study.”
The essential purpose of the disparity study is to establish for blacks and minorities their percentage share of the billions in contracts awarded annually by the State of Missouri based upon evidence that the state has historically excluded them from this huge economic pie because of their race. The disparity study will enable the state to enact, for example, a law requiring that at least ten percent (10%) of all the contracts awarded by the state be awarded to blacks.
Here’s how she responded to the criticism (now deleted):
Classy gal, eh?
