Makes you wonder if they realize how
ignorant it makes them look when they spout off that mess.

Georgia
Now, splain this lucy? How is
requiring someone seeking a scholarship to have a high test score
racist? Is the NAACP once again saying that its constituents are dumber
than white folks, because that's the only way it could be
racist.

No Hope in Georgia
Georgia Republican Gov. Sonny Perdue is a racist for pushing to tie state
scholarship money to SAT scores, reports
the Atlanta Constitution.
Black lawmakers in Georgia said Perdue’s suggestion to let test results
help determine HOPE scholarship eligibility was “shameful” and called him the
most racially divisive governor since Lester Maddox.
"He does not believe that Georgia is a place for all people," said Sen.
Vincent Fort.
The legislators called the SAT proposal the latest in a litany of racist
policies. Among the other examples were his support for changes in predatory
lending laws, his push to allow a referendum on the state flag and some
personnel decisions involving African-Americans.
