Trying to have it every which way

The online Ragister is reporting about a controversy in the hiring of the new Superintendent for Des Moines Schools. In their schizophrenic best, the Ragister mentions the "fierce criticism from the African-American community". However, in any mention of the "community" in the rest of the article they are simply black. For that matter any mention of the term African-American comes only when referring to the name of an organization, the African (no hyphen) American
Leadership Coalition, or when school board member Ako Abdul-Samad (pictured), refers to himself. I guess the issue isn't African-American & White....oops black & white!

It's interesting that the "black community' is sooo upset, they were a part of the process...not apart from it! Amazingly, the group which organized the 20 person protest at last night's school board meeting, Sisters on Target (their logo pictured), had their President on the school board's Superintendent Search Advisory Committee. At least one other member of that committee was black. The board also has a black member, the previously mentioned Abdul-Samad. The Dummycrat community can't be too upset with Abdul-Samad, they gave him their nomination on the same night to replace Ed Fallon at the Statehouse. That district is losing someone with integrity and gaining someone who sat idly by, as a CIETC board member, while his fellow Dummycrats robbed the taxpayers blind!

One final note on Sisters On Target (SOT?), they claim on their web site, sisterontarget.com(?), to be "non-partisan". They are on record for donating to the Dummycrat party in 2004.
