You also have to change how you speak, ya know, in front of "the blacks." Cut the BS. You and I both know that Barack is an intelligent man. Plenty intelligent enough to be embarrassed inside to be talking about the filibuster and all that other crapola that he probably doesn't believe in the first place. That's so cynical and so paternalistic in front of a black crowd. And the bit with him changing his voice because he's speaking in front of black folks undoubtedly gives him pause afterwards.
Lewis isn't here to tell us what he wanted at his funeral. Maybe he wrote it down. I don't know. For as long as I've known about him, I lauded his guts. Maybe he wanted a campaign rally at his funeral. Maybe Paul Wellstone did, too. More is the pity. Barack knows better. I would never think of asking others to embarrass and degrade themselves by encouraging them to act inappropriately in public, in my name.
