Don't you just love how the racist host makes it a point to bring up being spat on but doesn't say one word about all the many good things Caucasians have done for blacks and others throughout history? There she sits in a room of highly sophisticated electronic equipment in the comfort of air conditioning and goes home in a nice car and enjoys a standard of living that she would never have in a million years. One would think that such race-baiting pigs would look at the big picture and be honest

@izaccy But you're not black you're biracial. How could you be black if you are just as much white? Both of Jesse Jackson's parents are black and that's why he is black.

[izaccy]

@Thedarksecret1 I have personal issue with that i happen to be biracial,

and i frankly find it disgusting that others have to judge if im are black enough or not.

Jesse Jackson do not have any monopoly on blackness.

[Thedarksecret1]

@izaccy Hardly! Let's be real. Does she really look black to you. She looks racially ambiguous and I feel that is one of the main reasons that CNN hired her. However, she is very intelligent and refined so I'm not trying to insinuate that she doesn't deserve her position because she does. However, I feel that Jesse Jackson was trying to say that there are no black news anchors (peole that are unmistakably black) that are on CNN. Technically, Soledad O'brien is biracial not black.

[izaccy]

@Thedarksecret1 yes she is black,

she got terribly hurt when Jesse Jackson said there was no black news anchors on cnn

@success4111 Shes black u moron

I agree with Dr. Dyson's statement that if Crowley been a black officer who made a similar error against a famous white Harvard Professor (say for example Henry Kissinger) he would have been placed on extended assignment as a traffic cop. I really don't see why Pres.Obama saw the need to have a so-called 'beer summit'. Can all citizens of police abuse and complaint expect the same? Also, why did all the black cops support Crowley? You shd see the YT series about police being a big "street gang"

that white girl sounded scared lol when he said 1:06, so she try to relate to black
