Yet another esteemed "perfesser", from the "plantation"

From here:

Peter Ratener, 60, who has taught at Bellevue Community College for more than 25 years, said Wednesday night at a trustees meeting that the question on an exam last month was an "egregious mistake."

It began, "Condoleezza holds a watermelon just over the edge of the roof of the 300-foot Federal Building, and tosses it up with a velocity of 20 feet per second." The question then asked students to determine when the watermelon would hit the ground.

The Board of Trustees condemned the wording as insulting to Rice, who is black, because of caricatures of blacks eating watermelon during the days of plantation slavery.

Ratener said the question originally referred to Gallagher, a one-named comedian who smashed watermelons as part of his act, and that he changed it to Condoleezza because she was more recognizable and because he likes the name.

Yeah... right--that's the ticket!!!

And I'm the friggen Queen of England.

Liberals continually point the bony finger of indignation at conservatives, calling them racists, homophobes, what have you. But at the same time they continually refuse to look at themselves in the mirror:

A Wisconsin talk show host says he's willing to apologize for a comment he made about Condoleezza Rice, but not to her.

John Sylvester of WTDY-AM in Madison called Rice an "Aunt Jemima" and said she isn't competent to be secretary of state. He said he used the term to describe Rice and other blacks as having only a subservient role in the Bush administration. Rice has served as President George W. Bush's national security adviser and was named this week to replace the departing Colin Powell as secretary of state. Sylvester also referred to Powell as an "Uncle Tom."

Face it.  Liberal democrats have an identical interest in advancing the cause for minorities as the chauvanist has in keeping his woman barefoot and pregnant. 

Hell hath no fury like the lefitists' scorn for a person of color who strays off of the limousine liberal plantation.
