You did a nice job but it would have been nice if the segment were longer. So funny when you gave Campbell the side eye when she ended.
I'm going to put links to these articles in AfroSpear in the News, whose widgets will put these links on the homepages of a couple dozen blogs, at least until another AfroSpear blogger hits the mainstream media.
It's great to see that Black folks finally have some representation on these news shows. I was always pleased to see Jesse Jackson on the news, but it's nice to demonstrate that Black people have a much deeper bench than just one politician.
Thanks again for the support with the Day of Blogging for Voter Justice and the "Concede Now, Hillary!" petition!
The more that blogs adopt this AfroSpear in the News widget, the more access Black people, the news media and government will have to your appearances on CNN, today and even years afterward, through the archives of AfroSpear in the News.
You summed it up on two points - there was no real answer about when we will be able to get out and, calling the war a tax in these trying fiscal times brought home the point.
It's rather funny how a large majority of Black people were always against the war yet, only when a majority of White people drop the phony, fear-induced patriotism and racism-laden revenge seeking, is the anti-war Iraq war sentiment treated with any degree of serious observation. Whenever Black people's views on the war were mentioned, it was always from the angle of explained anti-war motives (explained for the benefit of the media's White audience so they would know why Black folks were 'out of step' with the majority along with other anti-Americans).
The difference then -- when Black folk didn't buy the Bush-sh*t -- and now is in how the reasons why most White people are against the war is treated with a legitimacy that was hardly implicit in the reports that mentioned the earlier resolve of Black people who stood against the war for concrete, substantive reasons that the media pretends only exists among Whites -- the CNN segment as continuing proof.

Agreed! You got your point across!

He son'd her.
At the end of the day, the economic cost of this war to the American people is going to be the one thing people are going to remember.
One can debate the definition of success all day long, but for those families who are struggling to make ends meet, who continue to lose their homes and jobs, the concern for cost of the war to the folks back home resonates.
Thank you for making a unique and important point.
