"I think her speech was contrived and condescending," City Councilman Charles Barron told ABC Radio's Sean Hannity on Tuesday.

"I don't like the idea that she used 'plantation' with a black audience," Barron complained. "I think that's a very serious analogy and I understand when we [blacks] use it from time to time. But that has been a very horrific experience. And the Democrats haven't [treated] us a whole lot better than the Republicans."

Barron, a former Black Panther who sat behind Mrs. Clinton as she addressed the King Day gathering at Harlem's Canaan Baptist Church, said he had no problem with the other part of her comments; 5:57 PM
