What They Do, What They Say

I was watching a segment of "MacLaughlin", and it hit me that except for the host,I have interviewed all of the pundits I was watching today. Yeah!!!!
They were discussing Imus, and Tony Blankley of the Washington Times said Imus' firing sends a chilling message throughout electronic media. Yeah, the message is stop talking like you're at the nineteenth hole in a segregated golf club. It's the public you're broadcasting to, and although your Black demographic is less of a percentage than the number that vote Republican, the nation, as a whole, is turning brown. There are less of us (especially in the Gen Xers and younger) who care about race. It is telling that the whole Rutgers team, white and black, felt the sting of Imus' slurs.

What I find chilling is that Howard Kurtz, the Uriah Heep of Beltway print, revealed that what Imus said on the air about different ethnic groups is said by pundits behind closed doors all the time. Great! Imus gets the sack and print princes get yuks from their "Diceman" sendups.

Do you think that if there were more Black people in punditville, these opiners would find it less convenient to vent their Klan vibe?

So kids, here is the lessons we have learned.
1)Helping sick kids doesn't let you off the hook for racism.
2)If you fired someone for vile remarks, having him back on isn't smart.
3)Try having other Black people on besdies religious zealots.
4)Calling Hillary Clinton a fat pig doesn't let you off the hook when you reinvite the person (Jay Severin) who said it.
5)They were academically gifted, athletically blessed college kids who were denigrated. Now people who have daughters who look like those young ladies have a voice that is heard. Next time, listen to that voice.
