Congressional Black Caucus Demands More DIVERSITY On Sunday Morning Talk Shows

Congressional Black Caucus says Sunday shows need more diversity

Ironically - as I post this I am watching operative Dr Michael Eric Dyson on the ABC Sunday morning news show.


Barbara Lee and the CBC are not interested in DIVERSITY as most assuredly they don't want just a "Black face". They seek the "right type of Black or Hispanic face", one that echo's their own ideological biases.

Of the few Black opinion makers that are on television - the most vile attacks that they receive (ie: Juan Williams and formerly Armstrong Williams) comes from the BLACK PROGRESSIVE LEFTISTS. They make use of language against these Black men that was once reserved for Black men just prior to them being strung up to a tree.

We are only able to agree that the viewpoint that Barbara Lee and the CBC represent the POPULAR sentiment among the Black community. We cannot, however, conclude that this ideology represents the effective mitigation of the key problems that face the Black community.

As the article says - the growth of power of the Democrats and the ascension of "more Black faces into power" should translate into more Blacks on these Sunday morning shows.   Once again they argue that "Black progress" should be assumed by more Black faces in power.  In truth Black Progress must be measured at the periphery where our key interests are advanced.  

If there is another place that is in greater need of IDEOLOGICAL DIVERSITY than WITHIN THE BLACK COMMUNITY as a means of producing different results - please show it to me.
