Bill Bennett received scalding criticism from Republicans today for remarks he made about African Americans. Even the White House got in on the act.
When asked President Bush's reaction to Bennett's remarks, White House spokesman Scott McClellan said, "The president believes the comments were not appropriate."
Bennett defended his remarks, but it did not stop his GOP friends from bashing him. Michelle D. Bernard, senior vice president of the conservative Independent Women's Forum, said Bennett's remarks highlight why many African Americans distrust conservatives.
"In choosing to use the hypothetical genocide of black children as a way to reduce crime . . ., Bennett shamefully traded on the pervasive stereotype that it is African Americans who are responsible for all of the crime in the United States," she said. "People wonder why black people don't trust . . . notions such as compassionate conservatism, and Bill Bennett just added fuel to the fire the Bush administration has worked hard to put out."
Bill, when your own buddies are disowning you, maybe it is time to say "I'm sorry". Heck, even Bush apoligized after he let New Orleans fall into the lake. If he can do it, you can too.
