Jim Newton falls all over himself to praise "respected" Los Angeles Sentinel (a hysterical black newspaper) Larry Aubry in a 30-paragraph story that says nothing. It’s a complete waste of time. I read it carefully to look for one genuine insight. I came up empty.
Newton writes: "Larry Aubry is an exception to that reticence. Deep in experience, both thoughtful and outspoken, he is a wise and energetic activist who has lived the travails and triumphs of African Americans and yet is able to see those experiences objectively."
What condescending crap. Would Newton and the Times ever write that about a white guy, even Jesus Christ? I doubt it.
