Race 6

There is a picture of Romney and family which includes an adopted black grandchild.  I'd never heard of it until today and did not know that they had a black grandchild.   http://therightscoop.com/marc-lamont-hill-romney-grandson-photo-was-exploitative-to-begin-with/

MSNBC put up the pic and made fun of it and Romney on the grounds that it was exploitative in some way.  (After the election!!!)

CNN had a discussion including Mark Lamont a black commentator that I never heard of before.  Lamont thought it was OK for them to do that,  but that it would not be OK if the party and color situation was reversed.

A viewer put in a comment:

• "This most recent batch of black spokesman are the most vile and ignorant people, it makes me sad for the future."

 I disagree with the conclusion in the comment above.  I think that it is good that the racism mongers are vile and ignorant.  That means that the reasonable black people do not engage in that kind of thing and probably do not support it either.

For a list of civil rights leaders that I do not think of as racism mongers (except Sharpton) see http://newsone.com/1102975/top-15-civil-rights-leaders-of-the-21st-century/.  The list includes Cornel West and Van Jones.
