I agree, however, this media is giving the few the opportunity to resonate the message. Which dove tails with all the rest of the media mantra. Tell a lie often enough, it becomes the truth to the uninformed...<br /><br />If Bush or his mother had said this what do you think the response would have been.<br /><br /><br />Yes Skinny, I sprused up the topic a bit. All topics and headlines are meant to attract a reader.
I believe I did. I think its great that you can be objectionable and read both sides of the story. I wish I was able to do that more. I also feel that you have never been in the hood. My parents raised me to treat everyone the same. I still try to. Its awful hard when the some members of society (and I use that loosely) ALWAYS blame the white man for their troubles. Just once I would like to hear the black community say "Its our fault, whitey didn't do it to me"
Are you going for a nobel prize? Or are you just beating around the bush also?<br />Your topic reads " all black Americans"<br />The headline said "African Americans". <br />The story continued to reduce the size to "some".<br />And by the time the story ended it was only "one or two people".<br />You wanted to spruce it up from a "couple" to "all". Sounds like an agenda to me.<br /><br />At any rate, to bad so many allow the media to get your tights all in a bunch like this. <br /><br /><br />
That's the message Bill Cosby, J.C. Watts, Thomas Sowell, Associate Justice Clarence Thomas, and a few others I've heard. <br />Maybe it's said alot more but it doesn't make the headlines.<br />It'll be more constructive to "spruce up" the messages from these examples.
Guess I didn't take your message exactly right, thanks for splaining.<br /><br />Yeah I been in the hood a few times and most of the times I didn't feel exactly welcome there.<br /><br />My Daddy taught me that We Better Than Them...I learned different on my own and it took a while to sink in. We all know that racism is alive and well and living in America, so I try to think for a minute before crying "foul" whenever the race card gets played. This time it's a foul all right, I'm just not sure who played it.<br /><br />You want to hear the Black Community say something, you have to listen beyond the local TV "news" (and I use that term loosely).
Skinny,I didnt say ALL, I said Black America. You read ALL all by yourself. <br /><br />I said Black America....They said African Americans. Yes Both are plural but not concise. Same-o same-o. I'll admit that their headline as well as mine ( relaying their message ) is missleading. <br /><br />Somehow, your more focused on the fact that I relayed their message without editing it to suit the facts of their report. <br />I do have an agenda, and that is to point out that I think they have one....Their headline gets me in a fit, then when I relayed it here with like words you get in a fit....Do I read you correctly? <br /><br />I was only asking folks from the getgo to focus on the source and not the messenger...you didnt follow my instructions.
The bush administration playbook in the early days in one sentence, wow how well stated.<br /><br />On this thread, at least Joyce Searcy went through training, and is signing up others. At least she is trying to live by the standards in place before the trajedy.
