Watching Rick Sanchez do his mea culpa for telling the truth, on morning television...Why are white people always so surprised when a minority snaps and bites back?

The usual question is...”well...you've done this or been that for nearly 30 years, why now?”....as if longevity makes the repeated slights and slapdowns any easier to take...”get used to it bro”....right..

Note to white guys still in charge....The most dangerous minority in America is not that young black fool on the corner with a gun....it's the minority in the corporate office who fought his way to the top to become the diversified window dressing to prove how non racial you guys are..

Diversified window dressing is not the same as being HWMIC...your crumbs and one minority promotion every 30 or so years is not enough to prove how unbiased you are....

Question for the MSM...... And how many Black, Asian or Hispanic prime time news anchors are there working today.....since you guys are the ones throwing stones at everyone else?

Lou Dobbs....getting a dose of his own medicine....on GMA today defending his hiring record for workers that may or may not have been undocumented workers from countries south of the border....

Chill out man...you really are not as important as you have come to believe...But you can still run for office....if you choose....go ahead throw you tea soaked hat into the ring...

Elizabeth Hasselbeck to become a contributor on Good Morning America...the head man said she “fits exactly what they need on morning television..

What.....they needed another skinny, conservative blond in the mix given all the brunettes? They've got Sam...what's wrong with him....too smart...too capable....too...well..not married for their tastes....

Won't you be glad when the guys in charge get over their fixation on Barbie Dolls?

Why is nobody talking about the penis pictures that Brett Favre reportedly sent to a woman half his age? You can read it here.

She said he sent them...but she doesn't do “old and married”.....good for her...

Shoulda retired last year Brett...

The Root- Leadership List

The Root.com, a website founded by Skip Gates and aimed at Black Americans conducted a poll on Facebook last night, asking FB people to choose between Kanye West and LeBron James..

In other words...which one should be considered a leader in the black community...

Are they serious?

These under educated self centered....”I am me and me is the world” types are not leaders...

They are entertainers and should be treated as such...

The quiz was an insult...but then so is Skip Gates..to most things Black...I'm not questioning his 25% hold on his African American status...

But I do take issue with the thought patterns that generated this so called leadership survey..

Fox bags Hannity in Cincinnati

Without FOX News Sean Hannity, the Cincinnati Tea Bag Party, which claims to represent the majority of Cincinnatians, like the national organization alleges it represents all of real America, couldn't fill a college stadium last night for it's big tax day rally.

According to reports, about 7500 people showed, down from the estimated 15,000 expected.

Hannity was pulled reportedly because Fox didn't want him doing a paid gig to benefit a political organization. Seems someone on corporate level thought that a journalist headlining a paid political event is something of a conflict of interest.

Really? Ya Think?

And please, can someone tell me what the teabaggers are protesting. Their taxes went down...the polls say they really do like their social programs like medicare, medicaid and social security...and they are mostly retired..so they are not in the job market...and they already have more money than anyone else...

So what is their problem..hmmmmmmmmmmmm?

Jackie Robinson legacy

63 years after Jackie Robinson broke the color barrier in major league baseball, many are sounding the alarm about the dwindling number of black Americans playing baseball, these days. The teams are filled with dark men of color, but most of them are from the Caribbean, central or south America..few of them are American born, so the appearance of baseball is deceptive.

Many are calling for programs to get American blacks interested in the game again, which is all well and good, I guess. But I want to know where are the programs for regular Black guys to get into living in general.

Face it...the American Black man is virtually invisible in America today. Oh, we have a Black president in the White House. We have an NFL and an NBA full of big Black guys playing with balls. We have prisons full of young stupid Black guys who dropped out of school, trying to make a quick score and ended up “got” instead.

We have the hip hop life of young men, some of whom are talented making bank, but many more one hit wonders, in debt up to their eyeballs to some white man's record corporation, or dead in the streets attempting to live out some ridiculous gangsta fantasy.

But where are the programs to convince Black guys that education is the key.

Where are the programs that integrate the construction industry. finally. I walk all over Cincinnati, past big time construction projects downtown, the bridges are being painted, Cincinnati's soon to be tallest building is going up...and all I see are white guys and Hispanic guys working on the structures...no Black guys...Cincinnati public schools are building more new schools...plural....yet...no Black guy construction workers....it's so bad the useless NAACP is leading protest marches and getting arrested like back in the day.

What up Cincinnati...we got a Black Mayor...is that enough? Don't make me answer that question...

Why is this the reality in the 21^st century? Why are we more concerned about the lack of Black baseball players rather than the lack of Black men as providers for their families and role models, real role models for their own children?

We don't need anymore LeBron James or Jackie Robinsons for that matter.....we need another WEB DuBois, Carter G. Woodson, Charles Ogletree, or a Robert Johnson with brains...

Rocky Mountain Insanity

Colorado Court says it's okay for Colorado college students to carry guns on campus...That's a great idea considering how well these young students behave so responsibly having proven their ability to multi task so effectively....like driving while texting or partying while fugged up. Guess if they can study with their eyes closed, then they ought to be able to shoot with their eyes open, right?

Nothing like having an ecstasy fueled or testosterone driven 19 year old with gun strapped to his side.

What next...tricycles with built in rifle racks?

White House Closet Jitters

The White House apparently has no trouble putting gays and lesbians in highly visible governmental positions. However it seems to be bothered when somebody tries to yank the closet door open on those LGBT people who have not yet gone public with their preferences.

Seems there is a dust up about whether or not maybe Supreme Court nominee Elena Kagen is a lesbian. CBS News wrote and then retracted the story yesterday. You can check it out here.

Despite being highly touted, Obama hasn't named anybody yet for the SUPCO vacancy. Matter of fact, he can't name anyone until July, after the current session ends. Second, the White House claims that allegations of Kagen being a lesbian, are simply false.

I just have to ask...in the aftermath of the Tiger Woods, Tiki Barber, Sandra Bullock, Melissa Etheridge and now Larry King, why are journalists suddenly reticent to talk about someone's sexual preferences?

Is it deference to the solicitor general, which Kagen is.....or are we still as a society covertly and uncomfortably homophobic, despite the efforts to install real civil rights for LGBT people...

And by the way...Thank you Obama for the hospital visiting privileges..
