In a reply to someone's comment about Chicago clergy supporting Burris I used the word "Ministrel."
Now, I would like to think that was an innocuous case of my left index finger finding its mark on the keyboard before my left middle finger did and an additional "l" being thrown in somehow.
But come to think about it, on some deep level I was in need of a new word that described clergy with backward racial politics.
So there it is: a ministrel show.
Hilarious! Wasn't nothin' 'nocuous 'bout that! ... You know, I studied minstrelsy way back when--Bert Williams 'nem. ...
