The Billiken's Bluff

This Al Sharpton-related story somehow flew under the Billiken's radar earlier this week.


Monday, May 23

MEXICO CITY - President Vicente Fox again refused to issue a formal apology Monday for remarks about blacks that some people construed as racist, but he accepted an invitation from a U.S. civil rights activist to meet with blacks in New York.



After meeting with Fox, the Rev. Al Sharpton said the president still needed to apologize for saying Mexican migrants take jobs that "not even blacks" want in the United States. But he also said he would join Fox in pushing for U.S. migration reforms that would favor Mexican workers.

Sharpton said that Fox's refusal to apologize for the remark during their blunt and frank meeting was akin to:

'Him wee-weeing in my face and calling it rain'.



Well Put.
