"Just as deaf people can be accused of not being deaf enough, blacks can be accused of not being black enough.
"Congratulations to Cory Booker, a former Rhodes scholar and Yale Law School graduate, who on Tuesday was elected Mayor of Newark. Here's hoping he can make good on his intentions to clean up the place.
"Winning wasn't easy for Booker, thanks to his complexion. He's black, but has been criticized for having light skin. Anti-Booker signs urged people to 'vote black.'
"Booker also ran in 2002, but lost to longtime Mayor Sharpe James, whose campaign played the same race card.
"Meanwhile, conservatives are portrayed as racist."
