Rainbows don't include the color black, or brown, last I saw. I've
known a lot of Asians, but never knew one who actually was yellow.
Nor have I ever seen an American Indian who was actually red.
Rainbow is a commonly used word for groups that are intended to be
racially and culturally inclusive. Which, now that you mention it, is
an indication of Jesse Jackson's desire to be racially inclusive.
Since you specifically indicated that there are whites in the Rainbow
Coalition that would indicate he is acting on that desire.

EC>> On the other hand, "oreo" is all about race.

Oh, that is your definition? Hmmm...never heard that one before.

I see you use the term the same way RH does. You just answered your
own objection.

Not near as much as white conservatives.

I was reading a bit of one of his books just yesterday. Some of what
he says is very good, some is pure intelectual sludge.

BK> IOW, they were lying.
Your comparison of the expression poverty pimp to the
word nigger is ludicrous. The root of the word nigger
is literally black. Neither poverty nor pimp has any
such a root.
While it is true that the stereotypical pimp is a big
Black guy, wearing furs and jewelry, driving an Eldorado
Caddy, there is no racial component to the word pimp.

I will agree that my designation of David Duke is probably
a poor one in the sense that David Duke does not try to
land them for someone else. That Jackson and Sharpton fit
the stereotype of a poverty pimp is not in dispute. They
are classics. Still, per se, there is no racial component
to the expression poverty pimp. It is related to behavior,
not skin.
On the other hand, oreo literally means black on the outside
and white on the inside.
