Friends, you can not make this stuff up. I did ANOTHER interview this morning (3rd in two days) on the Michelle Obama comments - her own mind you - that scolded Black America to "wake up."
Roland S. Martin - the morning guy on Chicago's Black Talk Station - WVON, invited me on and we had a nice chat about what Mrs. Obama said.
Some, like Martin, were offended that I pointed out that Mrs. Obama had blamed the "inferiority complex" that African Americans have in not supporting a Black candidate on "the lingering effect of racism."
She said it - I didn't!
So I'm invited on to talk about it. Roland was really kind, and we had some animated back and forth - but he still denied that Mrs. Obama had attempted to make the link. You can listen to the opening ten minutes of the hour long discussion in the YouTube clip above.
Then... going to break later in the hour Roland then HIMSELF associates the inferiority complex issue to racism, slavery, et al.
The callers were interesting - nearly all of them born before 1965 (as happened on my show) - agreed with Mrs. Obama. The two callers that identified themselves younger than that did too.
Callers on my show who ran against Mrs. Obama's sentiment (all African American) broke down along the age line. Those born after 1963-65 did not share her feelings, those born before then did.
The really hilarious thing about my time with WVON this morning was that the callers were attacking me for pointing this stuff out. They also grew hostile when I brought up Obama's ADAMANT SUPPORT for abortion - on demand, partial birth, and born alive (where the baby survives the procedure but is allowed to die in the soiled utility closet at Christ Hospital in the Chicago suburb of Oak Brook... a procedure Obama FOUGHT to keep legal while a State Senator.)
So let me understand properly...
Mrs. Obama says blacks feel inferior voting a for Black candidate. But I'm the real bad guy because I hold the same view that Blacks hold in that abortion should be illegal, redefining marriage to include homosexual unions is bad, and that nobody should be allowed to tell anyone - yes even a person "of color" what they can or can not become?
Mrs. Obama said it, Mr. Obama lives it, but I'm the bad guy.
Stunning... If you'd like to hear the full first hour of the discussion sans commercials, here it is.
