Photo Forum / Film Photography / 35 mm / September 2008What NPR considers important
I made the mistake of listening to NPR coverage of the election speeches. When Romney had finished speaking, the NPR info babe started to remakr how there was the lowest level of diverstiy in the audience of the Republican convention, in 40 years. The fewest African Americans at the delegation in 40 years. Well, gee, I don't really give a care what color the faces are out there, I watn to know if the candidate will do what he promises. Who really gives a hoot if there are som epercent of this or that kind of people? I don't. Just shows where their brains are. f.ck diversity. I want excellence, and intgrity. >I made the mistake of listening to NPR coverage of the election speeches. >When Romney had finished speaking, the NPR info babe started to remakr how [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] >don't.

What the candidate will promise, and what the candidate will do if elected, depends entirely on the interests of his power base. McCain did not select Palin because she is the one person most capable of excellence; he selected Palin because the religious and political conservatives in the Republican party demanded that there be someone on the ticket who would represent their interests. Where's the integrity of that? Diversity in support means that a candidate will owe allegiance to a wider base of the American public. That, to me, should be the way it is.

I was listening to the speech while you were scanning the audience to see how many black people were there. Fact is you're a racist.

Fact is you're a racist. I did both. I didn't intentionally scan for black faces, but it was very noticeable. It doesn't require any great mental feat to notice the glaringly obvious. Noting the disparity is hardly racist. I also noticed - at both conventions - how many people who were supposed to be there on a serious mission to support their candidate for the highest elected office in this country found it appropriate to wear silly hats. Am I a hatist? SignatureTony Cooper - Orlando, Florida > I didn't intentionally scan for black faces, but it was > very noticeable.

So Frank, while you were listening, how many blacks did you hear? >> I didn't intentionally scan for black faces, but it was >> very noticeable.

Not using any definition of "racist" that I know of. There is no intolerance or hatred associated with what we see and notice. It is how we react to what we see that determines if we are, or are not, racist.

I see things. I notice things. That's what I do. > In alt.politics.usa.republican Annika1980 <annika1980@aol.com> wrote: > : > In alt.politics.usa.republican Annika1980 <annika1...@aol.com> wrote: [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > I was listening to the speech while you were scanning the audience to see > how many black people were there. Fact is you're a racist. So Frank, IF you are black and voting for Obama or IF you are white and not voting for Obama are you a racist? Ask the tough questions of a black candidate and disagree with him and you're a racist, do the same with a woman and you're a sexist...........give me a freaking break. > I was listening to the speech while you were scanning the audience to see > how many black people were there. Fact is you're a racist. Seems like I wasn't the only one who noticed. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/09/04/sherri-shepherd-reacts-to_n_123976.html Sherri later noted the relative lack of black people in the audience for Palin's speech, calling it "a good day for black people if you were at the RNC, beacuse there was one black man in the audience and they kept showing that one black man." >I made the mistake of listening to NPR coverage of the election speeches. >When Romney had finished speaking, the NPR info babe started to remakr how >there was the lowest level of diverstiy in the audience of the Republican >convention, in 40 years.
