Iwo Jima

I went to visit my folks this afternoon. They were dutifully watching Fox News and "Hannity & Idiot," the special guest being Leo Terrell, a Los Angeles lawyer fighting discrimination cases. Not to downplay examples of human badness when they occur, but this guy walked right into my cynicism.

In this instance, referring to Letters from Iwo Jima, the movie by Clint Eastwood some years ago, Leo made the claim that, despite there being some 900 African-Americans having fought on Iwo Jima, there was "not one single blackface" in the film.

So, in honor of Mr. Terrell (whether a juris doctorate qualifies him for the title 'doctor' or not I will refer to him as mister, thank you very much), I give you...

...EXACTLY one "Blackface in Iwo Jima."

Take THAT space coyote.
