Ray Charles forced to entertain Ronald Reagan in Heaven
I'm sorry, that's just wrong

Poor Ray Charles. By a sad coincidence of timing, the news of his death was lost in a sea of Reagan death porn. And the mainstream media had so much trouble pulling themselves away from Reagan adulation that they noted Charles's passing by showing historical footage of him playing "America the Beautiful" for the Reagans and digging up random photos like this one.

Some cartoonists also saw fit to force Ray Charles to share cartoon obituary space with Reagan. So let me state for the record--Ray Charles did not decide to die last week because he wanted to play piano for a racist white ex-President in Heaven. Thanks.

Africana.com has their priorities straight, relegating Ronnie to 4th place on the A-List. Body and Soul has two nice Reagan-free posts about Ray Charles.
