U.S. Rep. Lynn Jenkins, a Kansas Republican, made a blatantly racist remark last week. Jenkins said the GOP was looking for a "great white hope" to challenge the Democrats and African American President Barack Obama. Using the racially charged metaphor is a telling, if embarrassing gaffe. The remark reveals someone who is either deliberately engaged is race baiting, or is woefully ignorant of our countries cultural, social and racial history.
