Donna Brazile, Jamal Simmons, Roland Martin - AfroChat - African American

mlr710 · May 9th, 2008, 08:13 PM

Has anyone been watching the primary coverage on CNN which includes these three?? I have always admired Donna Brazile, and I love the dynamic these three bring to the table when the other pundits start talking in circles. Donna, Jamal and Roland bring it straight, no chaser. Its intelligent but plain. Probably one of the reasons CNN's ratings on primary nights is sky high and above both Fox and MSNBC:
Here's a clip of Donna on CNN this past Tuesday
YouTube - "eggheads & african americans" begala slap down by brazile

Later in the show, Jamal made this comment:
"Here's the problem for the Clinton campaign. They want to come back in and change all this at the end of the game, at the end of the day. So, they want to say, well, if Michigan counts and if Florida counts. Well, you know what? If my aunt had a male appendage, she would be my uncle."

Its commentators and political analysts like these that are needed on networks that purport to cater to African-Americans, but unfortunately, those networks are interested in educating, just entertaining.

Yeah, you're right. I have been watching Jamal and Donna throughout this campaign. I hated that Donna waited so long to reveal her support for Obama, but she has a whole lot of integrity I must say. It is a stark contrast to those "Negroes" they put on FOX News to represent the African American community. Sometimes I get sick when I turn onto FOX and they have Larry Elder talking about how stupid black men are, or Juan Williams dogging out Obama saying he stands no chance, or disgusting Rev. Jesse Lee Patterson telling white America how ignorant, vile, and heartless Black people are. I cannot believe Black folk like that exist, let alone the fact that they are being paid to spew that hatred, but then again it is the media. Most of those Republicans and Conservatives are sick whores, that will say anything regardless of how illogical or hateful it is, for money. I learned that when I saw Glen Beck's salary was 10 Million a year !
