HuffPo: The Media Is Racist

Unfortunately there are too many plots and subplots within this ridiculous HuffPo piece to relate them all. It seems that when a member of the White House press corp has the audacity to ask the POTUS a question in the White House press area, clearly they are only one step away from dragging out a fire hose and chasing the President of the United States back into the back of the Oval Office where he belongs. We mustn't let Obama's type get out of line, after all. Robinson bills himself as a " University Scholar and Political and Media Analyst." If you want to read how the other side thinks, though "thinks" is a bit of a stretch, you can read the rest at link above. One can only imagine the number of bright young minds Robinson has dented beyond repair over the years.

If you saw Politico's Jonathan Martin's metaphorical mugging of President Obama
on Thursday and then read his and Carrie Budoff Brown's hit piece on him, perhaps you're as offended as I am.

In fact, a cameraman had to verbally intervene to remind Martin of whom he was trying to mug: "I'd like to say it one more time: 'Mr. President.'" Hopefully the MSNBC clip of this scene will soon appear. It shows much more clearly than the above clip or CNN's just how physically confrontational Martin was.

Almost all Black men recognize Martin's contemptuous look and confrontational pose -- it's the one that White cops give us after pulling us over for Driving While Black or even Standing While Black, and then start to interrogate us like we just committed a crime. In fact, about a minute into this live video clip a White cop, who looks similar to Martin, confronts a Black man in a manner that makes me wonder if Martin studied this video to pick up some pointers.

Significantly, although other members of the press corp tacitly consented to the social nature of President Obama's visit, instead of acting like a respectable reporter, Martin acted more like a racist cop and treated President Obama like he just committed a crime.

Martin then accused the President of committing another cardinal offense for a Black man: staring him in the eye, like this was back during Segregation times when Black folks weren't allowed to look White folks in the eye and had to get out of their way if they were walking on the sidewalk.

He left out "Whining While Black." Where's a cop when you need one?

"it's the one that White cops give us after pulling us over for Driving While Black or even Standing While Black, and then start to interrogate us like we just committed a crime."

Black and white alike in New York City shudder at the thought of being pulled over by a BLACK cop.

Worse are the comments to his 'blog'. I blame it on affirmative action, we're raised a bunch of morons in public school and I don't mean the students.
