You Can Speak Black But You Can't Wear Black Face

Apparently, any Democrat can mock Black speech patterns without having to suffer a backlash from the likes of Al Sharpton or Jesse Jackson or the NAACP. Bill and Hillary Clinton have done it many times while speaking at Black Churches. So did Al Gore when he was running for President against Bush. Now we have the Los Angeles' Latino Mayor (another Democrat) doing the same thing:



It's just amazing to me how parodying Blacks in "Black Face" is considered horribly derogatory but, Democrats mimicking "Black-Speak" is totally acceptable. Can you imagine the political pain that any Republican would have to endure if he/she did the same thing?
