| On the King Holiday Weekend 2010, I will co-host an MSNBC town hall special about race in America with Chris Matthews. This is also an important story because it will give me and you a rare opportunity to participate in a much needed discussion about whether racism is still a relevant topic now that President Obama has been elected. Of course, we know that it is. But now, we will get a chance to say why. Having an audience of 8 million mostly African-American people is always a good thing, but it's a crucial thing when mainstream America wants to know what's on our minds. Together, we can give provide honest questions and answers about racism in this country. In the days leading up to January 18th, I will be using this blog, BlackAmericaWeb.com, the Text Tom club, the morning show and all of its resources to garner your opinions about some of the specific topics that will be addressed on the program. Among the topics: Does Post-Racial America Exist? (Yep.) Is Affirmative Action Necessary? (duh!) and Generational Colorblindness. Isn't it funny that usually the only people who claim they don't see color always end up telling you they're married to a black person? |
The two biggest Obama suckups in the media team up for what could be the biggest whinefest of 2010. Newsbusters may not have enough hosting space to write up for what is going to be a entertaining show of blaming racism for people disliking Obama and his policies.
IN A PERIOD IN HISTORY WHEN JOURNALISTS ARE WORKING HARD TO REGAIN CREDIBILITY IT PERPLEXES THIS VIEWER AND JOURNALIST, WHY TOM JOYNER, AND CHRI MATTHEWS COMMENTING ON RACE??
ReplyDeleteTOM JOYNER IS AN ENTERTAINER, WITH RANDALL ROBINSON, MAXINE WATERS,TAVIS SMILEY, ED GORDON,CORNEL WEST, MICHAEL ERIK DYSON, REV. JEREMIAH WRIGHT, JEFF JOHNSON, EVEN DICK GREGORY WHY MSNBC CALLS ON TOM JOYNER MAKES ME WONDER, ABOUT THE ISSUE OF CREDIBILITY. ENJOY YOUR THOUGHT PROVOKING INTERVIEWS RACHEL MADDOW WAS A GREAT GET, BUT TOM JOYNER IS NO JOURNALIST, AND AS A BLACK MAN I'M INSULTED.
Many black people are disappointed and disliking BHO right about now. He hasn't stepped up to the plate nor taken the weight on single payer health care coverage; getting us out of these oil wars where mostly poor latino, black, and white kids are dying or coming home crazy and/or physically disabled. Nobel Peace Prize?! Like Eric B. & Rakim once said, "Yo, what happened to PEACE?!"; he copped out at COP15; and the high unemployment rate and mortgage crisis has caused a Black Depression. Moreover, whazup with Federal Civil Union for All legislation?
ReplyDeleteI'm no BHO H8R. I love the man as a person. However, he is looking more and more like the plutocracy's puppet. He needs to bring it FDR/New Deal style with a QUICKNESS!!!
If such reforms don't happen soon and if the people violently revolt or engage in non-violent disobedience, the 1st Brigade Combat Team of the 3rd Infantry Division(US NORTHCOM)with their new hi-tech crowd control devices(sound cannons and various noxious gases)and presently empty FEMA camps/prisons are waiting.
Some important words from Na'im Akbar and Neely Fuller, Jr.
