Every couple of years, the "Black kid" gets blamed for some random crime by some random White person.
Now Lindsay Lohan is that random White person. Lindsay has played the race card. She claimed that the "Black kid" was driving after she got pinched for a DUI. I wonder how long before she claims it was the "Black kid's" coke in the "Black kid's" pants?
I'm actually surprised the Bush administration hasn't tried the "Black kid did it" defense to explain that it was the "Black kid" who hid the missing WMDs; that is was the "Black kid" who outed Valerie Plame; and it was the "Black kid" who fired those pesky US attorneys.
Although, truth be told, the White House really did have some "Black kid" do it.
Remember the President Bush's chief domestic policy advisor and GOP homophobe Claude Allen? First, Allen "resigned to spend time with his family?" Later, Jesse Helm's former spokesman, pled guilty to scamming Target out of $5000 worth of stuff over twenty-five visits to the store. Allen ultimately blamed Hurricane Katrina for his sticky fingers. Heck of a job, Claudie!
