I'm sure that the compsition of this 'Top Ten' list -- half of them are black males, one latino, one jewish female, two white females, leaving just one spot for a white male -- and the content of the (ahem) blacklistee's quoted comments, much of it focused on Conpublican racism, are pure coincidence. Outreach indeed!
