[bridgit]

[One_of_8]

1. at work, can't watch

2. CSPAN? What channel? Link? Details please. n/t

[drdtroit]

4. CNN or MSNBC

FOX showing their true, thinly veiled racism and NOT covering it.

On edit: FOX is throwing a bone, but they are still obvious. ;-)

CSPAN3 the best.

5. C-SPAN3

I'm sure it will be repeated. I think the services started around 11:30 eastern, so Clinton's speech will be about 40 minutes in.

8. Thanks! n/t

3. There are still some people

who don't even bother to say "FORMER" President Bill Clinton. And why should they? African Americans -- in fact, millions of Americans -- have no better friend, no better advocate, no better voice to speak for us.

When I think of * giving a similar speech, I want to throw up.

[bridgit]

13. you mean * gives speeches...

:shrug: :rofl: :hi:

6. Unless you are family or over 75, it's Mrs. Parks

I'm not trying to be difficult, but as a Detroit area resident, this has been bugging me all week. One of the morning news anchors referred to her as "Rosa".

If referring to her place in history, using both names, Rosa Parks, is appropriate. When referring to her personally, like her funeral arrangements, unless you are family or of her generation, she's "Mrs. Parks". If I had met her, that's what I would have called her.

The white guy on Channel 4's early news referred to her as "Mother Rosa". She's definitely Mrs. Parks to him.

Since I'm at work, I am curious-how did President Clinton refer to her?

[Lancer]

7. Pres. Clinton said "Rosa Parks" or "Mrs. Parks" n/t

[bridgit]

11. were i to have met her the urge to have gushed forth, "RosaHoney..."

would have been too great for my simple mind

[Nickster]

12. Excellent point.

[la la]

9. on MSNBC-

I couldn't stop watching - I love that man!

[CottonBear]

10. Has Aretha Franklin sung yet? This is a lively event! n/t
