Another day, another judge acquits officers of the shooting of an unarmed black man in New York City. Although two of the cops involved in the Sean Bell case were black here is where the mainstream media misses the racism. If the three young men were all white males in there early twenties leaving a bachelor party at a strip club, not
a single shot would have been fired by those undercover police officers acquitted in New York. Is there anyone who really believes that the police would have fired on three young white men?
The National Basketball Association (NBA) has allot to be excited about. Just a few years ago critics were predicting the demise of the NBA,
with thugged out high schoolers going straight to the NBA, the media in constant search for the next Michael Jordan, and the boring yet sound
San Antonio Spurs winning championships. However, this year the NBA feels different, the NBA's Western Conference is so good top to bottom any
of the top six teams could make its case for the NBA title. In the east, the Boston Celtics with the additions of Kevin Garnett, and Ray Allen along with Paul Pierce has made the Celtics a must see team like the Bulls of Jordan or the Shaq and Kobe show. Coupled with the fundamentally sound Detroit Pistons, the top two teams in the East may be better than all those top teams in the west.
The controversy surrounding sermons by Barack Obama's pastor Jeremiah Wright have been discussed throughout the web and blogosphere.
Thanks to those who seek the truth and YouTube one can see the entire Wright sermon in context where he is quoting a U.S. Ambassador who
says after 9/11 that chickens have come home to roost. The controversy reached such heights due to media networks such as the right-wing
Fox News whose repeated unfair and unbalanced examination of the clips of Wright fueled the fire. Obama's speech on race was at first
hailed by the media as the beginning as an honest dialogue on race. A couple of weeks later the speech is now becoming marginalized
caught up in the next spin cycle.
There are a few questions that remain after several months of democratic primaries. Here are a few:
It was inevitable that political pundits would compare Senator Barack Obama's run for President with that of Rev. Jesse Jackson's run of 1984 and 1988, however, no one knew that pundit would be former President Bill Clinton. The Clinton camp and Obama camp insists that race and gender will play no role in their campaign tactics, if this is true then why would Bill compare Obama's winning in South Carolina to Jesse Jackson's victories? What do Obama and Jesse have in common other than their race?
