Congressman Melvin Watt (D-NC) and his "Arrogance"
During a meeting between independent presidential candidate Ralph Nader and the Congressional Black Caucus. The CBC was trying to convince Nader to drop out of the race, due to their fear that he would siphon votes away from John Kerry. Nader of course, did not agree with the CBC. Angered by Nader's resistance, the meeting took a rather ugly turn.Congressman Melvin Watt (D-NC) called Nader "just another arrogant white man, telling us what we can do. It's all about your ego, another ****ing arrogant white man."
Congresswoman Carolyn Kilpatrick (D-MI) cursed Nader and hurling racial slurs his way. While the press knew of this disgusting event--they chose to largely ignore it. Think they would have done so if a black man had been called a n---er during a GOP meeting?
Now, imagine if President George W. Bush, in frustration with Julian Bond, of the NAACP said he was "just another arrogant black man, telling us what we can do. It's all about your ego, another ****ing arrogant black man."How would Bush be torn apart in the media if he or any other white man treated a black man like this? Wrong as it is to refer to anyone in these terms, regardless of their race, the hyposcrisy is staggering.
