When MSNBC Mislabels Black People Versus Fox/News Corp

This past weekend MSNBC showed an educational special entitled "Making The Grade".  The best thing about the show was that it was free of the "Bush Era" attacks upon the national policies (NCLB).   I was even surprised to hear loyal Democrats blaming the Teacher's Unions instead of the Secretary of Education and the President of the United States.

This post is not about the educational arguments of the show.  More on that later.

Instead this is about how certain operatives go after Fox News for making mistakes in the labeling of Blacks per the name that appears on the screen or by showing the wrong picture of a Black subject.  It comes as no surprise that the Black operatives that pick up on the mistake and run with it us the occassion to confirm to their followers thaf Fox News/ News Corp is racist and what appears to be "mistakes" are in fact slaps at Black people.

On the Redding News Review web site right now are two articles on News Corp. related mistakes as it relates to the labeling of Black people.

• Fox New's Greta van Sustren Posts Picture Of Shirley Sherrod While Discussing Maxine Waters
• New Your Post Mistakenly Assumes That BET's Bob Johnson Owns Johnson Publishing

Those racist bastards!!!!!

Keep an eye out for the bevy of news articles that are sure to be released regardin the mistake that the researchers at MSNBC made about "Dr Ben Chavis".

You see there is the NAACP's Dr Ben Chavis, having become a Muslim and who is now called Dr Ben Chavis Muhammed :

Next we have the "Dr Ben Chavis" that appeared on MSNBC.

The only problem is that this "Dr Ben Chavis", an AMERICAN INDIAN male.
This Dr Ben was a leader of the "American Indian Charter School" in Oakland California. 

AIPCS was chartered by the Oakland Unified School District in 1996 with the mission of improving the abysmal performance of Native American students in the Oakland schools. As a charter school, AIPCS is free to students and has significant autonomy. The school, located in a converted church in Oakland's Laurel District, originally had a predominantly Native American student population and focused on Native American culture; students had classes in bead-making and drumming and had smoking breaks.[1][2]

By 2001, the school was failing. Enrollment dropped to 34[3] and test scores were abysmal[1][2]. That year, Ben Chavis, a Lumbee Indian from North Carolina and a former faculty member at San Francisco State University, became school principal and made a series of changes. Though he had no previous affiliation with the school, Chavis, who had experience as a public school principal, volunteered for the job.

Chavis, who believes principals need to be held more accountable for their schools' performance[4], replaced most of the school's staff, eliminated bilingual education and Native American cultural content from the curriculum, and gave away all the school's technology equipment[5]. Chavis focused instruction on the California Content Standards and instituted a number of unorthodox disciplinary policies.

In the years that followed, the school's enrollment grew[3] and test scores made dramatic improvements, becoming one of the highest in the state. During the same time period, the percentage of students identifying as American Indian at the school decreased to less than 5%, following the general trend in Oakland's public schools.
