Calling on the MEDIA to end the racist and sexist talk |
|
They are feeding the beast. Regardless of which candidate you support, you should be calling on them to knock it off, too. It not only hurts our candidates, it hurts our party, and it hurts many who are affected by either discriminatory practice. Lets let them know that above all we are the Democratic Party and will not let them crucify either candidate because of their race or sex!

1. If this is in reference to the Wright controversy |
|
It will not go away. There are other tapes and other statements that have people concerned. It is not racist for the media to analyze these things. By the same token, they will continue to examine the gender of Clinton and sometimes brutally. Be prepared for the worst before we get to the silver lining.

5. Check the church web site for available tapes |
|
The statement Wright made about "Black girls being raped in Africa and white American girls raped in other countries go "looking for it." This was another statement on one of his tapes and has been briefly touched on by CNN.

3. Newsmax says they have proof of Obama being in church |
|
during Wright's sermons in discussion. They say they will release it today or tomorrow. I actually hope they don't but I feel this story isn't over.

4. It is not only the Wright thing but also all the spin after |
|
Mississippi voted. They were subliminally telling people if they were white to choose Hillary, if they were black to choose Obama. Also they were inferring that both minorities could not stand alone. How much are they gaining from helping to divide?

Now live with it. Or STFU.

7. Unfortunately the media won't listen to the people; |
|
the media makes its money by being confrontational, and its owners want the money.
O and H should tell the media and their supporters that they don't approve of what's happening, and that everyone shoild 'cool it.'
