I haven't done a spin zone in a while. But I am watching CNN Pipeline, and there is an African-American, talking about the racial aspect of the Michael Vick dog fighting trial. The man on CNN said that black men are most likely to be on TV if they are breaking the law or playing sports. Is it just me, or is it ironic to talk about black people not being on TV, while you are doing an interview for a major news network. I think his presumption is clearly false.
He does on to talk about why the most hated athletes in America are always black men. He goes on to list a number of athletes over the last couple years that have found themselves in legal trouble and gotten a lot of news coverage. He may have a point here, but it should be noted that African-Americans are the majority of professional athletes.
The last thing is that he talks about the discussion that another African-American on the show brought up about African-American culture. The first speaker claimed that you don't have people talking about the culture of while womyn when Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan get DUIs. This is false, a number of people have asked what the condition of our young womyn are, and are they in danger.
CNN is claiming that there is a racial divide between those who support Vick and those who are for him being kicked off the team.
