Does racial profiling cut into media profits? No. Does healthcare reform? Yes.

Sorry to anyone that got offended by my other post. If you are of another race and thought that I was being insensitive to your plight, I sincerely apologize. I am a friend and a life long civil rights advocate. I in no way was ignoring racial profiling or saying that racial profiling is not bullshit. It totally is.

Here is a helpful talking point against racial profiling, "What about all the white criminals that get away when police would rather focus on innocent black or hispanics?"

That said this Gates story has almost completely wiped all of the important things President Obama said about healthcare reform last night out of the news. First off if you want to call someone racist, why not the media who would never even have asked the president this question if he was white. They would have ignored it just like they have for the last 100+ years. Racial profiling is wrong, what happened to Professor Gates is also wrong, I never said that it was not a real problem that should not be fixed. What I did say is that the corporate media wants to talk about divisive issues like race instead of an issue like healthcare reform that not only cuts into their profits but also is one of those issues that unites us. Healthcare affects everyone, healthcare is bankrupting people of all colors, and people of all colors are dying everyday from death by spread sheet.

I just was pointing out that the corporate media is playing you like fiddles, making you focus on this instead of the thing that might cut into their own profits. The media does not care about you and they do not care about what happened to Gates, only that it makes their insurance advertisers happy not to be talking about healthcare reform. Don't think that healthcare reform might cut into the medias profits, just count how many drug ads and insurance company ads are in each and every commercial break of any of the news networks. Count them and then come back and tell me that they actually care about racial profiling.

That any media that puts racists like Pat Buchannan on multiple times a day actually cares that innocent black and hispanic people are profiled is a huge laugh. They don't care, they just love dividing us.

Racial profiling is stupid and wrong, how do we fix it? Well actually talking to people and making good arguments on why it is wrong and unfair. You can do community outreach. You can write letters to the editors. You can talk to your local police and ask that they not profile. You can in your own life call out racism every time a moron says something stupid.

Healthcare is the big fight today. If stupid racist white people actually got help with their medical bills, from SHOCK our black, muslin president, then maybe they would look at our president and say hey maybe I was wrong about some black people. They might even reevaluate how they feel about people that look differently than them. Healthcare is one of those issues that unite us. Healthcare is something that brings us together, something that equals the playing field. The media knows it and if you think for a second they are not smart enough to see a real risk for their ad dollars then you really are not paying attention.
