Worse Than Imus Slur? Oh, Come On!A bid to hang Coretta Scott King’s portrait in the state Capitol died Wednesday, with the chief supporter comparing the failure to Don Imus’ slur against the Rutgers women’s basketball team.
The resolution would have urged the Capitol Standards Arts Commission to hang the portrait next to a picture of her late husband, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., but the House Special Rules Committee declined.
“It’s just like calling Mrs. King a nappy-headed (N-word),” state Rep. Roberta Abdul-Salaam, told reporters after the hearing.
Can you say overreaching???
Let's stay focused folks. Please.
