This was so funny, I had to change my shirt after spewing the coffee I was drinking while reading it!
You have it right here – at a black conservative site – Republican Speaker Elect John Boehner just integrated the Republican leadership! 🙂
First off – the blog – Start with the third post down by Dragon Horse:

The “movie”:
Looks like Boehner’s “Permanent Man Tan”, at least according to BR’s detectives – may have a lot less to do with that tanning salon…
And a lot more to do with that tan from Africa!
Oh, for the days before the Tea Party when Republicans only had to worry about a few Closet Queens…
Now they got “Closet LeShawns” and “Closet Trayneshas”!

My dad used to pass for white when it was beneficial for our family and some of our relatives are still passing to this day. Booker Rising may have been joking, but then again was he? I remember my dad used to have that same identical “tan” as Boehner whenever he was out in the hot sun all day. He tanned just like Boehner and my dad was a black man. So did a lot of other black people we knew who were passing. Boehner does have the striking features of a creole and so does his mom.
So, maybe, he did come from the humble beginnings of … Anyways, there are many whites out there who believe that they are white because they did not know too much about their family’s past. There have been many whites researching their family history who have left Archives crying tears when they discovered the truth. Ask any genealogist.

Boehner is possibly what is called a “WIN” in Southern Ohio – short for White/Indian/Negro, which is a common mixture in that part of the country. It makes up a lot larger portion of the population than a lot of folks would believe.
Got some green eyed redheads in my family, many folks mistake for Irish. They look “whiter” than Boehner (and are lighter skinned).
It is as it is… Maybe one of these days folks will figure it out.
Anyway, this gets around the Internet – should cause the Rethugs a conniption!

I think Huffington Post brought light to this about a month and a half ago. Don’t tell me Shay is getting excited about this news?
None of that matters, he is about to be the speaker of the house and will have one of the shortest tenures in History if he and his fellow republicans do nothing, so I bet they are going to come in guns blazing to get some new legislative agenda underway.

Oh, well there you go. A black man in need of a soul and a black woman in need of a man.

LOL and they are the worst, when it comes to attacking black folks, or being quiet about it as in Obama’s case. This shows clearly what black conscious means, not just Afro-American. He choice to be white male in a white male’s Party, period.
So tragic, we must laugh given what is on the table today.
