Looking the other way

Why is it that the majority of mainstream, politically-active, media-savvy African Americans seek the “next” episode of their supposed victimization by white people and almost bask in it? And reasonable people like Bill Cosby get kicked in the shins when they point out the actual problem, which is pretty much black-contrived.

And what's more inexcusable than hip-hop-inspired objectification of women, is Al Sharpton playing goodwill ambassador in this debate. He probably fosters more retrogress in the Black community with his constant clinging to the race card than anyone else.

Here’s an absolute eye-opener from Jason Whitlock, a KansasCity columnist, about the totally overblown Don Imus gaffe (Just to be clear, I’m far from a fan of the CBS shock jock, all the more reason why I don’t like to see and hear his three fateful words quoted and re-quoted to the point of being indelibly branded on the airwaves for many more weeks to come).

As I often do, I turn to Bill Maher for the bottome line: If this is the biggest problem they [Sharpton and Jackson] have, then the civil rights movement is in a lot better shape than I thought it was, because I think there are real issues they should be dealing with.
