Black Republicans

It's nice to see that Lt. Col. Allen West, the Black Republican up for Congress in FL-22 hates his own race:

West seems perfectly suited to soothe a certain type of older voter who intellectually dislikes racism but also fears the black-church-attending Obama. "I never grew an Afro," he tells a cluster of fans at the Coconut Creek retirement village. "I always had a nice little crew cut."

In other words, he denies the "racial" elements of himself in order to make white people more comfortable. That's nice.
