Racism at DOJ uncovered.
Top DOJer Called Voting-Rights Official "Black and Bitter"

This might be the most horrifying excerpt from the Schlozman report:

In that incident in August 2004, Voting Section Chief John Tanner sent an e-mail to Schlozman asking Schlozman to bring coffee for him to a meeting both were scheduled to attend.
Schlozman replied asking Tanner how he liked his coffee.
Tanner's response was, "Mary Frances Berry style - black and bitter."
Berry is an African-American who was the Chairperson of the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights from November 1993 until late 2004.

check out link and see what Schlozman did with Tanner's comment.

It's who they are; it's what they do.

The only "good black" to these people is one who is compliant, will kiss their ass and do their bidding. (Blackwell, I'm looking at YOU)
