Another Mic Stollen, but no media outrage

So I don’t know if anyone saw the oscars last night, however it seemed that a mic stealing moment happened ( video below). This time though, it was an older white woman who stole the mic from a Black man. So now comes the next day…and I’m waiting for the fireworks…..But there seems to be little outrage for this moment…No president saying that the woman was an idiot, no vilifying in the media of the woman’s unsavory behavior, nada. So I ask the question to ya’ll readers out in web land, do you think there is a double standard out there in the Hollywood world or was this a situation different than what happen with “Ye?

Black Farmers Get Settlement

After rallying across the South last week, black farmers plan to be in Washington, D.C., on Monday to call on the government to “pay up” on its more than 10-year-old promise to compensate for discrimination. Despite the conditions of the 1999 civil rights settlement, more than 70,000 black farmers have yet to see a penny.


Things DARKIES say

Reid is making a point that describes how if Obama’s skin tone was darker and his speech resembled a more Negro dialect that he wouldn’t be accepted as president because his perception as a darker skinned Black with a Negro dialect would vastly differ from that of what mainstream America is capable of tolerating. I think Reid is onto something RACE which is still a taboo topic for most Americans regardless of the tone of their skin red, white, yellow, brown and BLACK.
