Something tells me Kinky Friedman's career in politics is pretty much over.

Earlier this month, Friedman referred to Hurricane Katrina evacuees in Houston, most of whom are black, as "crackheads and thugs." He later criticized ethnic politicking by saying, "I don't eat tamales in the barrio, I don't eat fried chicken in the ghetto and I don't eat bagels with the Jews."

Then a television interview from a year ago resurfaced in which Friedman was asked what to do about sexual predators. He said: "Throw them in prison and throw away the key and make them listen to a Negro talking to himself."

Ask the NAACP if they've told the UNCF (United Negro College Fund) that they're racist lately.

What makes the UNCF racist?

I was pointing out a hypocrisy. Kinky is getting flack for using the word, but the UNCF has it right in their title. But because they're a black organization, it's OK. I just find that two-faced.
