(Below are actual Twitter posts from earlier today.)
Bill Cosby: “I agree with President Carter that racism is playing a role in recent outbursts against President Obama.”
Roland Martin: “It’s that kind of day! Turn to CNN’s Headline News now! We’re discussing, what else? President Jimmy Carter, race and President Obama.”
Al Sharpton: “I am still in las vegas. I appear live tonight on CNN LARRY KING show at 9 pm est tonight from vegas.”
Melissa Harris-Lacewell: “Who is loving Jimmy Carter? I am! He is seriously not playing: I live in the South fools, I know racism when I see it.”
Melissa Harris-Lacewell: “Get your MHL fix all over TV tonight. 6:15PM PBS NewsHour w/ Gwen Ifill & 8:15PM MSNBC Countdown w/ Olbermann.”
I'm with Cosby and my girl crush. Jimmy Carter is my new American idol.
ReplyDeleteracism is over we have a black president. ask tyrese. i love when people from the south say we know racism when we see it. you know i saw sharpton one day when i was walking in harlem i didn't even know what to say if i were to stop him so i just kept walking. were there no outbursts against other presidents? i mean this is also a whole lot of other words based on emotions in place.

"Christopher C. Brown can't believe the writers of Treme will be there in person tonight at _________! WOW! Awesome! Er. Have to fly out."

ReplyDeleteUBM Carter and Bill is on point...I am from the deep woods of Alabama and this type of racism is home grown... That's why Carter and Bill recognizes it...Nothing but pure hate.
ReplyDeleteObama is a Happy Nero and proud of it..Obama will toss a Black man under the bus in a negro second to appease whites and seek the validation..In his cum ba ya post racial era Black folks have zero currency..
ReplyDeleteIt is so tragic after all these centuries to get a Brother in the White House and find out he is a pale face
