Black Electorate: WANTED: The Non-Threatening Negro – The Fear Of A Free Black Intellectual
According to The Urban League Institute’s report, "Sunday Morning Apartheid: A Diversity Study of the Sunday Morning Talk Shows" only 8 percent of the guests on the major Sunday morning talk shows over the past 18 months – or only 176 times out of more than 2,100 opportunities - were Blacks. 122 of those 176 appearances were made by Juan Williams, Colin Powell, and Condoleezza Rice. Why is there such a limited black presence among the "talking heads"? Cedric Muhammad suggests that it is not just a matter of political bias or simple racism but something more complex.

I recently saw a few minutes of the O'reily factor and they had a semisterotypical black representative that was of no particular significance to the black community speak for us on all the current major issues. I was disgusted not even so much by her answers as the ways O'Reily patronized her into seeming like a overhype sterotype of a black female. Damn!
