Minority Segragates Own

The Washington Examiner reported yesterday that organizers of the MLK I Have a Dream anniversary deliberately segregated the event by not inviting the only Black senator seated in the U.S. Senate.

Sen. Tim Scott, R.-S.C., the only African American serving in the United States Senate, wasn't invited to the event commemorating the 50th anniversary of Martin Luther King's march on Washington, though a host of Democratic luminaries spoke on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial.

Celebrities like  Oprah Winfrey, Jamie Foxx and others were invited.

The first elected Mulatto President Barack  Obama was the keynote speaker of the event .

The Examiner asked, "Wouldn't it have made sense to have the first black president joined by the first black senator from South Carolina, which was a Jim Crow state when the original march on Washington took place?

Perhaps the newspaper does not recognize the President is half White. And, this author thinks it is racist not to acknowledge the fact that his mother was White.
