A Couple of Links to Check Out......

Just a couple of links I wanted to share with our readers:

Allegedly Bill O'Reilly made some off the cuff remarks centering around a dinner he had with Rev. Press & Curl that some in the African-American community have deemed racist if not culturally insensitive. But were these comments really that off the mark? Notice how Air America (the above clip) twists this incident and then listen to the entire conversation. Every media outles possess their own spin zone. Of course our readers/radio listeners are aware of the diversity within communities of color as we drum this notion home incessantly throughout Afronerd-but is it fair to expect others to be so enlightened with a media barrage of neo-mistrelsy being piped in American households on a 24 hour basis? I'm not sure but to be fair let's take a listen to the infamous broadcast in its entirety and decide for yourselves:

Bill O'Reilly wants his Mother Effin' Iced Tea


And the second link involves the one and only Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas who recently provided an interview and a candid glimpse into his life in lieu of promoting a new memoir entitled, My Grandfather's Son. In my estimation this learned, mischaracterized and misunderstood jurist proves in the interview below that he is not the traitorous anathema to Civil Rights that many progressives in the African-American community believe him to be. Click on the link below and check out the interview-what do you think about this gentleman? Share your thoughts.
