Kemp's letter

Jack Kemp — a progressive on race issues from his football days — wrote after the election:

Dear Kemp grandchildren — all 17 of you, spread out from the East Coast to the West Coast, and from Wheaton College in Illinois, to Wake Forest University in North Carolina:

My first thought last week upon learning that a 47-year-old African-American Democrat had won the presidency was, "Is this a great country or not?"

You may have expected your grandfather to be disappointed that his friend John McCain lost (and I was), but there's a difference between disappointment over a lost election and the historical perspective of a monumental event in the life of our nation.

Let me explain. First of all, the election was free, fair and transformational, in terms of our democracy and given the history of race relations in our nation.


He also recalled the bad old days:

I remember quarterbacking the old San Diego Chargers and playing for the AFL championship in Houston. My father sat on the 50-yard line, while my co-captain's father, who happened to be black, had to sit in a small, roped-off section of the end zone.

HATER!!!!-this why Republicans and canservatives are in the tank-They hate too much!!!


Politico you are a ghoul for using Kemp's death as a reason to push the Obama is Awesome narrative. SHAME ON YOU!!!!!!!! Celebrate Kemp and his accomplishments, not a private letter to his kids and grandkids about Obama. You are an embarrassment.
