Demoted for hiring too many white folk to provide relief to Haiti

From The Hill Blog.

“Here is the text of the letter in full:

Dear Secretary Clinton:

“As you know, the 42 member Congressional Black Caucus met with Rajiv Shah, the Administrator of the U.S. AID yesterday to discuss the crisis in Haiti. I was alarmed and chagrined to learn that none of the approximately dozen staff he brought with him were African American. This is so serious an error in judgement that it warrants his immediate demotion to a subordinate position at AID. It is well known that there has long been an under-representation of minorities in key positions within the State Department. I am confident this Administration will immediately begin addressing this problem. I look forward to meeting with you on this matter.”

Sincerely,

John Conyers, Jr. Member of Congress”

From BlogProf:  instead of “driving while black” racism, we now have ”working while white” raaaaacism.

[This has to be a joke. Doesn't it?  Nobody is that racist. No, wait, Conyers is a member of The Congressional Black Caucus.  No Whites Need Apply.]

Jim Treacher run down by black SUV

which was owned by the State Department.  Conservative blogger extraordinaire Jim Treacher was then given a ticket for jaywalking.  Like a good trooper he blogged about it and got pictures at the emergency room.  Sheesh, why can’t anything as exciting as getting run down by a black SUV happen to me? I haven’t even ever seen a black helicopter.

“Nice blog you got there, Mr. Treacher.  It would be a shame if something happened to it.”  Hillary Rodham Clinton.
