"Will Racism, Fear, and Hatred Ever End?" Article from "ColorOfChange.org"
|
Posted By: Gregory V. Boulware, Esq. on November 14, 2009 /* Dear MoveOn member, Rupert Murdoch, owner of FOX and the News Corporation empire, just said Glenn Beck "was right" when he called President Obama "racist." 1 This is a rare moment of candor from Murdoch, one of the most powerful media barons in the world. Our friends at ColorOfChange.org are calling out Murdoch for FOX's long history of race-baiting. 2 Can you add your name to the growing demand for Murdoch to apologize and end FOX's race-baiting? Clicking here will add your name to our petition: http://civic.moveon.org/murdoch/o.pl?id=17... The petition says: "Rupert Murdoch should apologize and put an end to FOX's race-baiting, or admit he agrees with it." ColorOfChange.org has successfully urged over 80 advertisers to cut ties with Glenn Beck's show after he called President Obama "racist." 3 Murdoch is now backpedaling to keep advertisers from dropping FOX altogether. Last week, Murdoch said, "if you actually assess what he was talking about, [Beck] was right" to say Obama is racist. When heads turned, Murdoch's spokesman insisted, "He does not at all, for a minute, think the president is a racist." 4 But the meaning of Murdoch's words was clear. And he hasn't agreed to stop FOX's race-baiting. FOX's top hosts are using racism to whip up opposition to President Obama: Glenn Beck accused Obama of "a deep-seated hatred for white people." 5 Sean Hannity accused Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor of anti-white racism. 6 Bill O'Reilly talked about "a lynching party" against Michelle Obama. 7 FOX insists there's a difference between its news shows and its right-wing opinion shows. But FOX's "news" anchors have been just as bad as Hannity and Beck in accusing Justice Sotomayor of "reverse racism." 8 FOX executives now describe the channel as "the voice of opposition" to Obama's administration. 9 FOX President Roger Ailes—who played on racial fears to help George H.W. Bush defeat Michael Dukakis—said, "I see this as the Alamo." 10 Now the man in charge of it all, Rupert Murdoch, says he agrees with Glenn Beck's "racist" charge against President Obama. If Murdoch wants to apologize, he should stop FOX's race-baiting. Add your name to our petition by clicking here: http://civic.moveon.org/murdoch/o.pl?id=17...

/* Assistant Managing Director at Managing Director's Office, City of Philadelphia Thanks, I agree...however, by simply attempting to make a difference with the tools at hand...seems logical, yes? The media is as the media does. "BIA" and its' members is a forum that I believe they cannot control...(at least our beliefs). Participation in this quest is not mandatory. We are at liberty to follow our own mind(s). Your point is well recieved! Peace and Love, Greg. */ Saturday, November 14th 2009 at 11:26PM |

Greg, As I think education is at the root of all good, and each person can only play their part, small or large, I am thinking about applying at http://www.philadelphiateachingfellows.org... Do you know of them? Racism will only end if we each live non-racism and show by example for others we personally touch. Sunday, November 15th 2009 at 8:28AM |

/* Assistant Managing Director at Managing Director's Office, City of Philadelphia Whew...Thy Plate is Full! :) :) :) Thank you Brother Weston! Irma, Yes, Ok...education is as education does. What is education worth if one has not learned something, large and/or small. Is it not so that we learn everyday...do we not learn from each other, i.e., our connection/communication on these forums? I think yes. Your views are on point. Sometimes the "I" is the key, albeit it takes the "we" in most cases to get things done, yes? Obama can't get a damn thing done without the collective...and even then it's almost impossible to get it done! Many have disagreed with Brother Harry...is it due to his radicalism, his passion, his direct approach, his arrogance, or is it in fact that he may be true in his message? I think he may be on point (for the most part). I am not a follower of many things, ideologies, and/or directives. I do listen and make up my own mind! Change is good but it can be bad...depending on the direction that it takes, yes? I tend to believe in the good of change. Brother Steve, yes, yes, and yes...I agree! Brother Jeremy, yes to you as well...I also believe that for the most part the 'edomites' are raised...inbred to "HATE ALL THAT THREATENS THEIR DOMINATION AND CONTROL!" I would also venture to state like all of the so-called races and divisions, not to paint with a broad brush! Life and living has taught (and shown) me that (many) people as individuals do not generally, in fact, go along to get along! I truly believe that good people, right thinking people, genuinely do love and respect one-another. Seperation has its place. Many 'Black Americans Are In Fact, "Void of Intelligence and Discipline", Brother Harry...it's proven daily! All that one has to do is look around...view the neighborhood that you reside...see the youth and those that support and sustian them! Why is it allowed that they (our young and theirs) are allowed to continually and blatenly disrespect thier predecessors? Should one of us take steps to correct them, verbally and/or physically, we risk the trip to jail and prosecution. It wasn't like that "back in the day!" Trouble would beat you home...your parents would know that you have done wrong long before your arrived home, not giving you time to invent a lie to cover your ass when someone (adult) has gotten the information to Mom or Pop! In many cases they were allowed to chastise and maybe punish you on the spot with the blessings of your parents...and you were still subject to being punished again by your parents...you simply did not do wrong, yes? You were aware of the consequences! We took care of our own! Sovereignty has its place...and it is desired by many! The response to these messages took a bit of tact and thought. I do hope that I have responded wisely as I do aree with all or most of your replies and stances. God Bless You, One And All...1-4-3. Peace and Love, Your Brother, Greg. gvb1210me@yahoo.com Ezine Articles: http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Gregory_V...

/* Assistant Managing Director at Managing Director's Office, City of Philadelphia I am in concurrence with Brother Derek! Irma, I think that you are on point as well. Harry, I have stated that I am not a follower of any man, woman, or thing! There is truth in many statements and stances of individuals and groups. "For the Most part" is as it implies...I agree with some of the ideologies that you espouse whereas others, I do not. I will not engage in semantics and/or arguements that keep us seperated! I respect and appreciate what you contribute to our cause as well as may others who have chosen to communicate...and I ask that you respect my contributions as well. I believe that I am a fair and reasonable inidividual with a level of tolereance that has limitations (like many other folks). I would like to think that you are a fair person as well. Please don't chase us away. I am proud of you all. Peace and Love, Greg. */ Monday, November 16th 2009 at 10:15AM |

/* Assistant Managing Director at Managing Director's Office, City of Philadelphia Brother Harry Watley: I thank you for your knowledge, wisdom, inspiration, and candor. However, your criticism is not welcome! I have bent over backwards as well as tolerant of your rantings...I will no longer do so! I have asskedt that you be respectful...(even though you say that you mean no harm - now who is wishy washey?) you have not. Therefore, it is with deep regret that I shall refrain from further communication with YOU, SIR! God Bless you and may he keep you safe and protected. Peace and Love to you My Brother! Thank you Brother Steve...you are very much appreciated. Greg. */ Tuesday, November 17th 2009 at 11:42AM |
