Good for the light-skinned-but-spa-tanned bankers!
After all the hou-ha over Harry Reid's comment about "light-skinned Negroes" without dialect, I turned a critical eye toward the New York Times. Would the NYT blame "white men" in suits, with mild dialects and a winter tan for the financial melt-down? Well I think that the Times is as guilty as Harry Reid.
Check the almost half-page picture in the NYT's business section for yourself. Lloyd Blankfein, CEO Gold-Digger-Sachs; James Dimon of JP Morgan; John Mack, Morgan Stanley, Bryan Moynihan, of my favorite, Bank of America--hands slightly raised, swearing to tell the truth to what appeared to be quite a few white members of Congress. Here's the rub. They are all white guys in a picture that had, by my count, 18 other white guys and three white women. All these white folks raising the question, "Where are the Negroes"? C'mon! You don't expect us to believe these white guys acted alone, do you? Something is out of whack. I can hardly wait to hear the explanation from Rush and the Tea Partiers.
