If Alan West wants to compare himself to an historic African American Woman

[Tony_FLADEM]

he is closer to Sally Hemings than Harriet Tubman. He's in bed with the people that don't represent the interests of African Americans. I wish someone would tell him that.

1. Sally Hemings had no choice.

If Alan West wants to identify with a historical American figure, he'd be better to identify with Patrick Henry: a man who ranted about freedom, but was one of the biggest and most brutal slave owners in Virginia.

2. How about Condi Rice?

3. The Energizer Bunny

she kept lying and lying and lying.

4. I don't think you should be dragging Sally Hemings into this -

for the very reason stated in post #1.

5. Why did he choose a woman to compare himself to in the first place?

Perhaps because any comparison to a male Black civil rights leader would be too obvious of a stretch?
