Black History Month: Bad Idea All Around

Preach it Mr. Freeman



I just love how Mike Wallace just squirms. The PC culture is so embedded in journalists psyche....that they can't admit it's BS, and can be inappropriate. They had an NHL reporter interviewing a black player from Canada, asking him how he felt to be the first African American player on the team...he corrected her 3 times that he was Canadian....not African American...but she couldn't say black. Another case...when Nelson Mandela got elected the president of South Africa, the Washington Post called him the first "African American" president of South Africa...wth. This labeling crap needs to stop.

Morgan is right. The more you tell people that their only defining characteristic is their skin color...not who they are, and what they have done/accomplished...the more fractured society becomes.
