19. Sometimes people make it oh-so-easy
Edited on Thu Feb-26-04 06:47 PM by SmokeyBlues
This is too funny! Some people are upset that Brown accused all the Mexican-American dudes in the meeting as supporting a "racist" policy and looking white. But no one has yet pointed out this little gem by Noriega himself:

Noriega later told Brown: "As a Mexican-American, I deeply resent being called a racist and branded a "white man," according to three participants.

So, let's see if I got this thing right. Noriega is upset not only because Brown accused him of being a "racist", but also because she accused him of being a "white man" (or at least looking like one). Or, in his very own words, "being branded (permanent scarring implication going on here!) a white man."

I'm surprised that no one has asked the obvious question (at least obvious to me): what does Noriega have against white men in particular that he would "resent" being "branded" a white man?

But first things first here. Let's make sure that all the world is sufficiently made aware of Brown's intolerance.

I tell you, folks gotta keep their eyes on all those minorities --regardless of skin color-- 'cause they can be tricky at times. B-)

On edit: Rep. Mark Foley (R-Vote Suppressor) is "disappointed"? Yeah, right!
