I'm a field Negro. What are our leaders?

In a million years, I never thought I'd be quoting Malcolm X. Have times changed.

*** "Back during slavery, when Black people like me talked to the slaves, they didn't kill him, they sent some old house Negro along behind him to undo what he said."

Pam Spaulding posted this video of Malcom X on her blog today, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=znQe9nUKzvQ&eurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.americablog.com%2F&feature=player_embedded following the leaked news that the White House has suddenly decided to throw a big gay party for the A-listers who putatively run our movement. It's a chance for our leaders to get used by the White House, just by showing up, then get used again when they leave and tell the world how all the champagne and caviar proves that the President really does love us, in spite of that pesky incest and pedophilia thing, and those two gay service members a day he's still discharging, even though he doesn't have to.

The biggest betrayal of all? Our leaders are going to the White House to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Stonewall. Irony is not lacking in this White House.

But we got cake! (And a gay band in the parade!)
