M$M.. Whenever they talk about "racism" they get a black commentator

[glowing]

to talk about how McCain and the Re-pigs are not being racist... What is the visual you get over Obama being compared.. flashed between two blond, white, young girls... its a subliminal racist message. Be afraid of the big, bad scary black man. This is why they used these two as celeberties...

Now, the black man comes on and says: No, I think its because they are known for the "bad" things they have done. AND that is the reason they used these two starlets...

Well, that is true, too. They flash the visual of Obama being black "be afraid for your young, white, blond daughters from the scary black man who will steal your innocence, and they get the other visual of putting Obama's celebrity status on the same status of these girls who are known to be "bad" girls.. The one's who have been in trouble and have had their troubles splashed all over the news.

I don't know where they find these black commentators, but these commentators, to be sure, are doing the entire racial relations of America a disservice.

1. It's a well known fact. The fastest track for a black person to get ahead in politics

is to be a Republican.

3. But they are only allowed to go so far. n/t

[WeDidIt]

6. True, so if you're black and ambitious

but not TOO ambitious (code word), it's cool. They'll letcha get so far.

10. What positions aren't they (blacks) allowed to go for?

in the Republican party? I'm referring to them only being able to go so far.

Raebrek!!!

11. I'm just going by what a black Repub said himself....

12. I doubt they'd be comfortable having a black as a nominee for sure (their whole theme of Repubs..

is all about fear ... so blacks only getting so far is a truth in that party (well said OP threader)

2. Harold Ford is only welcome on Morning Joe because he's a yes man for them.

4. Yesterday on the show Road to the white house...

they had Harold washington on and everytime I see him I groan..Pat Buchanan was spouting some of his racists bullshit and Rachel told him where to put it and what did Washington do, pretended as though there was nothing wrong with the coverage of Obama..

Harold always states " If I was giving advice to Obama" at which point I scream " we are glad you aren't and we didn't ask for your opinion" he says what he thinks is politically correct for his rightwing buddies. Harold is an asshole!

[polichick]

8. I agree - he's such a sell-out it's disturbing!

[butterfly77]

14. I meant Harold Ford..

5. The self-hating black conservative Republicans are always present

whenever a topic of race comes up, and it baffles me that they can't see how they're being played!

[RethugAssKicker]

7. and the black pudits they use are usually all conservative assholes

9. Starlets who are famous for attitude rather than accomplishments, according to Politico this a.m.

13. I don't mean to just pick on black commentators.. to be sure most of

M$M is a sell out.. all the colors.. Rachel and Keith are really quite refreshing. Its really kinda nice not to have my blood pressure rise, except towards the current admin., while watching them deliver the news.

AND I'm not sure what I'd do either... this is a tough world.. If you are black and lucky enough to drive the Lincoln Navigator by "repectable means", I'm not so sure what I'd do either... Its tough out there and the uninformed public is stupid and the PTB put us all down.. so, I don't know what I'd do in their shoes either... Funny how all of a sudden they've raced to find some black commentators.. because they didn't have any before.
