Soul Man--Part 2

Saw Clinton droning and drawling about how (un)deserving he was of such an honor, and he significantly misquoted Martin Luther King by saying that he just hoped that people would look into the "..content of his HEART.." in judging his deeds. Of course he didn't want to bring up the concept of 'character' because he would've had to shut up immediately. Classic Clinton--spin someone else's words to keep his pathologies barely covered.

Arkansas organization totally disgraced itself in this.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. -- Bill Clinton, once famously described by author Toni Morrison as "our first black president," is being inducted into the Arkansas Black Hall of Fame as an honorary member.

The former president will be the first non-black recognized in the hall's 10-year history. He is expected to attend the Saturday night event.

"It is this community's way of saying thank you to him for the work that he has done," said Charles Stewart, the hall's chairman and founder.

The honor is in recognition of Clinton's appointment of blacks to high levels in both state and federal government, and his post-White House efforts to fight AIDS in Africa and the Caribbean, Stewart said.

"Most members of the Arkansas Black Hall of Fame have been personal friends or heroes of mine. To be included in their numbers, after a lifetime of working for equal rights and greater opportunity, is a wonderful gift," Clinton said Thursday.

Among others slated for induction are R&B and gospel singer Al Green and Dr. Edith Irby Jones, the first black graduate of the College of Medicine at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences.

Past inductees include poet Maya Angelou, Ebony and Jet magazine publisher John H. Johnson Jr. and former Surgeon General Dr. Joycelyn Elders.
