…………….because white people in power are not going to turn on each other just because a lot of people of color are angry at one of them. I am slightly surprised  when ABC “World News” reported tonight that MSNBC suspended his show for two weeks.

Now, if these people of color used their resources to do what Tavis and Tom did in the 1990s—tie up the offender’s corporate phone lines, blast them on national, drive-time, morning radio every weekday—then maybe the power would shift.

But it would take real bravery, fueled by real anger, to do that. Real cojones that our groups—including the NAACP and NABJ—don’t have as of this writing. After all, I can call for ice to melt, but it won’t do so if it’s only 10 degrees out.  🙂
