The media that is.
As the Obama team rolls out their picks for the various position the media reports on it by stated that “She will be the first African-American to hold the position” Or that he will be the first African-American in the AG’s office. Or…well you get the idea……
This past election has proven that most Americans have moved past the race thing, but somehow the media has to keep injecting it into the conversation. Why?
I realize that the media thinks at most of us mortals are ignorant dolts, but I do not think that most of us need their unsolicited help. We are a visually aided society and I think that most Americans can determine what a persons ethnic origins are. Well, I guess there are some that will need assistence in this area, but most of us can do it all by ourselves.
May I suggest that it is time to let that crap go. Time to move on and report the news and stop the commentaries.
Hi there, Chuq, thanks for posting this. I’ve been thinking about this, too. This is all so unnecessary. It’s not like he’s hiring Black guys who have no experience or a college degree. He’s hiring qualified individuals, period! (although a few are a bit shady or wishy-washy, but that’s a whole different story)
To me it seems to i,[ly that I cannot make the distinction between racial backgrounds, that I need their guidance. Like I have said, we have moved past that and the media is the only one that is still stuck on the race issue.
Yes, it’s like, “We can SEE that this guy’s African-American, thank you very much.”
Thge media is very subtle…but not subtle enough…personally, I want to know their qualifications, matters little of their race.
