Racism in the media.

Check out this short 1 minute video parody by George Cook of www.letstalkhonestly.com that answer the question of where racist and kkk members find work:

NY Post accuses Sharpton of Corporate Shakedowns

This story is on the front page of the Sunday NY Post on 06/15/08. Now in fairness I must admit that the Post does seem to have some sort of persoanl animus toward Sharpton so keep that in mind when reading the story. While this is not the first time these accusations have surfaced this may be the first time a news organization and given businesses and names as to whom may have been shaken down. Some points:

The NY post admits that it has donated to Sharptons Organization NAN

It can only list 1 paying position that Sharpton was given. A $25,000 a year “diversity” board seat with PepsiCo.

Most “donations” were made to NAN ( National Action Network )

Fox News calls Michelle Obama “Obama baby mama”

Fox News which many in the African American Community consider racist has taken it’s attacks on Michelle Obama to a whole new level. On a broadcast on 06/11/08 they refereed to Michelle Obama as “Obama Baby Mama”. Don’t take my word for it look at the picture below on which they use the term in their on air graphic.

So much for fair and balanced. There is no way even the racist leaning Fox producers and host did not know this was wrong. I mean just dead wrong. Maybe a bunch of elitist white producers thought they were being hip or cool but calling Michelle Obama a “baby’s mama” is uncalled for. Especially for what is supposed to be a professional news organization.

For those that think it’s just a joke or that baby mama is a term of endearment let me define Baby’s Mama.

A baby’s mama is just some girl that a guy gets pregnant. Just some girl he had sex with. This person is no one he wants to be with or marry. If he had been a thinking with the right head there is no way in hell he would have gotten her pregnant. If a guy would refers to a woman as a baby’s mama it shows he does not have much respect for her.

Michelle Obama is a lot more than that. She is far from any damned baby’s mama. She could well be the next first lady of the United States and should be treated with the dignity and respect she has earned. She should be given the respect that ANY women should be given regardless of her place in society.

Leave it to Fox News to keep giving traction to those that believe they are anything but fair and balanced. Can anyone name another cable news outlet where this would have been acceptable?

Barack Obama is not muslim!

Despite efforts by many to make it seem as if Barack Obama is secrectly a practicing muslim he has come out and let it be known that he is a Christian. It’s a shame that he has to stop talking about important issues to address this garbage. But then again that’s what the competition wants. Read the story by clicking the link below:

Missing black women, who would know?

MISSING BLACK WOMEN, who would know??????

I’m sure by now most of you may have heard of  the case of Latasha Norman a Jackson State University student who was recently reported missing and found dead.

You are also probably aware of the lack of media attention the case got. What’s especially galling in the case of Latasha Norman is that she was everything a parent could ask for.

She was a college student, active in the church, and working a job. She was the type of daughter any parent would want and if she had been white we would have inundated with stories about her constantly. Hell they may have put up a statue by now.
