Thank goodness tolerance and colorblindness are making such headway these days! A liberal Madison, Wisconson radio host displayed his recently by calling Secretary of State-to-be Condaleeza Rice "an Aunt Jemima" (Colin Powell is an "Uncle Tom," just to be evenhanded).

A conservative radio host in Milwaukee was suspended for 5 days earlier this month for using the term "wetback." No sign of that happening to the fellow who hurled the slur at Ms. Rice (it doesn't hurt that he's also the Program Director). We can let these things pass so long as they're directed at the Bush administration, evidently.

Not a peep out of Al Sharpton or Jesse Jackson so far. The only black group to condemn him is the Faith Based Leadership Council, a group of 200 clergy of color.
