It's one thing to step up when it IS racism....its another thing to always "step up" and make it about race.

That is what those 2 guys always seem to do.

What they do is dilute what is actually the problem with racism in the country by always "Crying Wolf" every chance they get.

Sometimes you actually lost your job because you're lazy...not because your black

Sometimes the Man actually got the promotion because he's the better choice...not because you are a women.

if people stopped claiming it everytime something doesn't go their way....maybe it might finally get fixed....

Very interesting column....

Trayvon Martin case exposes worst in media | The Cutline - Yahoo! News

"NBC told the Washington Post that it has launched an internal investigation of the "Today" show's editorial process after its morning show aired an edited conversation between George Zimmerman and a 911 dispatcher recorded moments before the shooting. The investigation came after Fox News and others pointed out that the network spliced two parts of the call together, making it appear as if Zimmerman had said, "This guy looks like he's up to no good. He looks black." In reality, Zimmerman was answering a dispatcher's question:

Zimmerman: This guy looks like he's up to no good. Or he's on drugs or something. It's raining and he's just walking around, looking about.

Dispatcher: OK, and this guy--is he black, white or Hispanic?

Zimmerman: He looks black."

Damn that Fox news!!!

Allot of our problems are brought on by the media. It works both ways, less we forget the Charles Stewart case.
The media is not about the truth!!!!
