Where's The Racism Again?

On the conservative Right, you say?  Uh, no:

Leaders of the Maryland NAACP, worried that a Baltimore mayor's criminal conviction could result in the appointment of a white or Republican leader who may not fully represent the majority black and Democratic city, are asking state lawmakers to strip the governor of authority to permanently fill the office.

The request, made in a resolution adopted at a state meeting of the civil rights group last weekend, marks the first time a mainstream organization has raised questions about succession should Baltimore Mayor Dixon be convicted of any of the nine charges she faces. Dixon has been indicted for theft and perjury and the first of two trials is scheduled for early next month.

..."Our concern is who would the governor appoint?" Cheatham said. "Here you have a predominantly African-American city. What if the governor appointed somebody white? ... Would he appoint someone Irish to be the mayor?"

By this logic, then, the Democrat majority in Congress should be evaporated since many Dems currently sit in seats represented by mostly Republican districts.  How about that, Mr. Cheatham?  Furthermore, by this logic, since African Americans only comprise about 13% of the population, we should artificially cut down the number of African Americans in professional sports, in schools, in the workplace, etc.  Is this really the logic he wants to apply to America?  Or, is this just another shallow example of simple raaaaaacism from the Left?

And where are Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson?  Surely they wouldn't be so intellectually vapid that they would stand for such blatant racism just because it's coming from African Americans and being directed at whites, would they?

Nah...

There's my two cents.
