Calling a black person a monkey and doing the same for Bush are not remotely equivalent. If WASPs had a long history of maltreatment at the hands of black people, then you'd have a point.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4726844761468242273.post-30028193671716482682009-07-28T16:53:20.446-07:002009-07-28T16:53:20.446-07:00I can think for myself if you don‘t mind.
