They should have thrown eggs at her, too. What a devious and
disgusting way to get attention. Why must people be duped into
attending a lecture and then be fed a bunch of lies?
King and her sponsoring organization are just as despicable and
devious as the UW-Madison College Republicans and the woman they are
bringing to campus this evening, Star Parker. Parker is a black
female former welfare-recipient who now goes around assuaging fiscal
conservative racism by rendering her former self as the "Queen of
Welfare Fraud." On the talk circuit, she comforts racist insinuation
by fulfilling cinematic fantasies about pimps, whores, enslavement,
drug addiction, and any other topic that racists feel need further
blackening and vilification. The event was billed as a "Belated Black
History Month event!" (exclamation, theirs).
From "got milk" to "sex in the city," and now "diversity" to "MLK"
and "black history month:" there is a disingenuous pattern of
commandeering and co-opting slogans, titles, and now, sadly, people,
to fit any vicious conservative agendas.
