 BK>>> Witness Bennett's stupidity on black abortion and the crime rate.

 BK>> Which was *NOT* talk radio last I looked.

 FS> You're probably right ... however that's beside the point

 Actually, that was the point.

 FS> ...
 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 ...

 BK>> I posted what he said.

 FS> So what's your point?  That Bill Cosby has more respect in
 FS> the national news-media than does Nagin?

 That Bill Cosby did not address problems with White people,
 onlyh with black people. Nagin addressed both, so was piloried.
