the Evil Line

I saw Al Sharpton speak last night. I'll restrict myself to one comment.

Sharpton criticized George Bush Senior's remarks at the funeral of Coretta Scott King; apparently Bush said that he had never experienced anything like that service. Sharpton commented that it was remarkable for a former president of the United States to be so out of touch with minorities that he had never been to a black church service.

The University of Colorado crowd clapped and cheered when Sharpton made this comment. How many of those who cheered have ever been to a black church service? Ten percent? Maybe twenty?
