 BK>> wing, I thought that was one stupid thing to say. Still, it's
 BK>> hard to miss the fact that got a whole lot more coverage and
 BK>> outrage than any conservative making a racial comment would get
 BK>> on talk radio. When a white conservative says something equally
 BK>> stupid the right wing media falls all over themselves to explain
 BK>> that he really isn't racist, and that it's being overblown.
 BK>> Witness Bennett's stupidity on black abortion and the crime rate.

 FS> Nonsense.  If a well-known white made such a stupid
 FS> statement it would be on the front page of the New York
 FS> Times and you *know* it!

 Which was *NOT* talk radio last I looked.

 BK>> Still, it was stupid.

 FS> Correct!

 BK>> The part I did not hear about is where he said a lot more about
 BK>> how the black community had to take responsibility for improving
 BK>> itself. When Cosby said that he got headlines in the right wing
 BK>> media. When Nagin said it, it got zero coverage that I have seen
 BK>> yet.

 FS> He probably didn't say that ...

 I posted what he said.
