Bush addresses NAACP

So what? There probably wasn't one person in the audience who'll vote Republican in '08, because the Republican party doesn't need to pander to their racist nonsense.

"I understand that racism still lingers in America," Bush said. "It's a lot easier to change a law than to change a human heart."

Exactly. And that's why, as I've said before, the civil rights movement is dead. Dredging up the Voting Rights Act of 1965 will achieve absolutely nothing in terms of promoting equal opportunity in this country. Legislation has done all it can do for black people. Blacks have more opportunity now than they've ever had before. They need to learn to stand on their own two feet, rather than having the NAACP cry racism in order to extort more bleeding-heart handouts from the government.

Enough already.
