Why do black entertainers and politicians always have "outbursts"?
Everytime a black person rightfully criticizes Bushco, the media immediately dubbs it an "outburst."

I hate the racist media, I never hear about Jerry Falwell's outbursts, or Pat Robertson's outbursts.

Start calling them on it!

3. It;s because they are "frustrated".. or "greiving".... or ....
"in difficult times".... yada yada.

I hate it when they say that shit. It's just another way to say that whatever is being said is untue. Even though it is true.

Compared to the tone, content, and volume of my verbal, public responses to this, Kanye was being extremely dignified, polite, and understated.

:eyes:

Watch out for the crazy black people on the loose!!!

:puke:

9. If you are talking about Kayne West
that can hardly be called an outburst. He said it very calmly and matter-of-factly. It not as if he was yelling like Bill O'Reilly.

11. That was the point.
Blacks (and liberals) have 'outbursts'; fundies and *bots 'speak'.

13. MSM makes me sick most of the time.
I think black leaders need to speak out even more. Jessie, Conyers, Sharpton and the mayor of NO should keep telling it the way it is. I will back any of these men.

18. Don't call them the MSM, that give them the air of actually being
mainstream, when they are a bunch of racist ignorant corporate fucktards.

Corporate Media is what they are and what we should call them.

If you love the 3 letter acronym call them the CMC, or corporate media cartel.
