Hearing Lawrence Guyot on Sean Hannity’s show today trying to boast of his past work in Civil Rights was pretty lame. He was on the show having a debate with Niger Innis. No matter what Lawrence Guyot has done in the past, he’s a nut today. And I have pointed it out once before in this post. He is not as much a fruity nut as Kamau Kambon, but Mr. Guyot has gone from being a Civil Rights Hero who “made our history” as he puts it, to becoming a Civil Rights Nut. And any history he makes today that is intentionally segregated on the basis of race is our embarrassment. Today, it is Niger Innis who is the one offering ideas and taking stands better suited for the present.

Actually, Lawrence Guyot has gone from being a great American, to a great American nut! Which is why he stands by Ray Nagin’s statement. He also mentioned that he stands by Hillary Clinton’s statement, for those of you who take issue with that statement.

It is sickening when someone does some good in the past, then attempts to hold it over the head of anyone that disagrees with them in the present. It is an intentional attempt to leave their current actions unquestioned, so that they may act with impunity. Mr. Guyot, the past is just that, the past. And in the present you are one sad individual.

update (1/18/2006 5:33PM ET): I just remembered what Lawrence Guyot’s attitude of trying to hold his past accomplishments over someone’s head reminds me of and my response. It reminds me of the movie Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner, when Sidney Poitier got into an argument with his father and said:

And for anybody who has not seen Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner, you really need to see it. Even now every single scene in that movie is relative to today. Because we still have people with a mentality from times past.
