today the southern poverty law center wrote a letter to cnn demanding lou dobbs firing. inturn, cnn's jon klien ran and got two black correspondence to come out and diss mr gates and president obama to show that its not the network(lou dobbs) who is racist, but the actions of the black community. this is shameful and disrepectful to the black community and all those who have been harrassed by white officers who feel they were disrespected and caused undue hardship on a minority individual just because they got uppity with a white police officer.
southern poverty law center
i hope the souhtern poverty law center continues its demands and i hope the all citizens who demand equal treatment by all boycott cnn and demand jon klien and lou dobbs resignation. it is even more offensive that mr klien felt the need to trot out two black correspondence to defend mr. birther himself lou dobbs.
i tuned into lou dobbs to watch the beginning of his show to find out exactly how cnn was going to treat the obama situation and sure enough, this is when i saw the teeth and gums of mr. lemon and mr. lothian. its sad that cnn would battle a charge by an anti discrimination organization by making their employed blacks support mr dobbs. talk about mr klien instigating black on black crimes. the issue with mr. dobbs is that he continues to belittle any minority group who challenges the way he sees the world. i ask that the president of cnn worldwide to recognize the distruction that their network is doing to minority communities with host such as lou dobbs and bosses like mr. klien that would have the audacity to send two black correspondences out to do a hit job on president obama and mr gates.
cnn, just because you run a segment call being black in america does not give you the right to use black people as props. if you feel its necessary to trot out black people to voice their opinions when you see fit, then why don't you give a minority their own show during primetime? a show during primetime will offset and neutralize the opinions by your all white current primetime lineup and i would prefer you not to choose mr. lemon or mr lothian.
this is a short diary but i felt mr. klien and mr. dobbs are wrong. i also hope the southern poverty law center does not let this go. also i apologize for not being able to link the first segment of the lou dobbs show tonite
