Political and cultural website the Root has released
a list that lumps Clarence Thomas, Alan Keyes, and Michael
Steele along with world dictators and other mass murders as
"Black Folks We'd Like To Remove From Black History."
The online magazine explains that, "As happy as we are for the
nation to get its yearly reminder that black people do exist in
the context of American history, there’s a growing list of
characters that has us harking back to Zora Neale Hurston’s
famous words: 'All my skinfolk ain’t kinfolk.' Indeed, while we
love our own, we sure do dream of erasing a few of them from the
history books. Some are politicos, others are pop culture
figures, but they all share one common attribute: They’re
embarrassing."
The list of "embarrassing" blacks includes O.J. Simpson, Beltway
sniper John Allen Muhammad, Idi Amin, François "Papa Doc"
Duvalier, Robert Mugabe and Rafael Trujillo. But it lumps them
together with Thomas (the second black Supreme Court justice),
Steele (the first black chairman of the RNC), and Keyes (nutty,
yes, but really?).
