Why the Sharpton blackout on DU?
Front Page: Kerry, Kucinich, or Edwards?

Even if it's not intentional, isn't it a little ethnocentric to not include Sharpton? He seems to have the same viability as Kucinich: he's just black. Even now, he's still in the running and on his way to Haiti. Why shouldn't he be included in DU discussions?

1. He's not just black. He's uppity. He doesn't know his place.

He has a big mouth. He doesn't act white and he's not humble.

He is the anti-Colin.

2. What does it mean to "act white"?
I've seen that written here before and I don't know what it means.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation,
