Blacks on Both Sides Agree: Clinton's Harlem Move a Sham
Radical left wing New Black Panther Party leader Quannel X and conservative Project 21 spokesman Kevin Martin don't agree on much.
But the political odd couple hit it off on one topic Monday afternoon -- Bill Clinton opening an office in Harlem. Both suspect the former president's professed love of African-Americans is as phony as a three dollar bill.
"We don't believe that having Bill Clinton in Harlem will be a great thing for black people in Harlem," Quannel X told WABC Radio's Sean Hannity.
"We believe that Harlem has its own set of unique problems that the people must look inwardly and internally to solve for themselves.
"You and I both know that Clinton is not at home in Harlem," Mr. X complained. "Clinton didn't even choose Harlem as his first place to come after he left office."
The ex-president first planned to move into pricey office space near Manhattan's Carnegie Hall, but the General Accounting Office said the rent was too high. Mr. and Mrs. Clinton own two houses in nearly all white neighborhoods in Chappaqua, NY and Washington, D.C.
"Because he was rejected at other places he'll now come to black people," said Mr. X.
"Why? Because he knows that he can give us a song and dance but never has to address the serious issues of what's happening in Harlem -- as he danced around the real issues involving black America when he was in office."
Project 21 director Kevin Martin echoed Quannel X's criticism of Clinton.
"When he initially announced he was going to move his office to Harlem, the same week he also played golf at Indian Creek down in Florida -- a club that openly bans blacks and Jewish people from holding memberships," Martin recalled.
"This is nothing more than the continued dumbing down of the African-American voter and the pandering that the Democrats do. Because they're actually scared that something's gonna get done (under Bush) and they're gonna lose some votes."
"I agree with you. I totally agree with you," Quannel X told Martin. "You're exactly right, brother. It's almost like a dumbing down of the American people."
