Racism in the US Congress?

After the staff from his homeland security committee attended a NASCAR event, black democratic Congressman Thompson told them to get shots for tetanus, diptheria, hepatitis and every other communicable disease he could name. While it's treated as comical, the racism behind the comment is ignored--as black racism always is--by the media.

Can you imagine a white congressman in the same situation? If he had told his staffers to get tested for rabies after visiting a rap concert? If he had told them to get tested for AIDS after visting an NBA game? The usual suspects, Jackson and Sharpton, would be rioting in the street!

This guy is a racist, and his comments are disgusting. Why won't anyone call him on it?
