"It seems as though you discovered blacks and browns during this campaign," Sharpton said in one of the most contentious moments of the two-hour Brown and Black Forum, the last debate before next week's Iowa presidential caucus.
Right. A guy who asked to be housed with black roommates his freshman year of college and tutored inner-city kids just discovered black people. (I saw his roommate talking about him on a video. It's no small feat to have your college roommate still speak to you after college, much less support your run for the White House!)
"If you want to lecture people on race, you want to have the background and track record in order to do that," added Sharpton, one of the two African Americans seeking the Democratic Party's 2004 presidential nomination.
Oh, really, Al?
Carol Moseley-Braun kicked his butt for that one, thankfully.
