Black Conservatives Not Happy About Liberal Flavor of Commemoration of 1963 Civil Rights March
50th anniversary being celebrated tomorrow at the Lincoln Memorial
Black conservatives are rankled by the liberal flavor of events commemorating the 50th anniversary of the March on Washington.
They contend the left is appropriating the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.'s memory and willfully understating the degree of progress the United States has made in overcoming the egregious racial injustices that characterized an earlier era.

Well maybe those conservatives should have thought of that before they became black.
