Started by baratunde aka jack turner · 10 months ago

Thank you for getting video of someone I want to hear from....someone relevant whom I don't get to hear from on TV.

I'm a white chick who grew up in Canada hearing my family talk in that "respectful" way about "articulate black people" without understanding the condescension in that. I wish that hearing from peeps like Cordell was an *average* moment on MSM. But blogs like yours are making that change. And an Obama presidency will hopefully make this a more typical moment.

Thanks from the heart, heather
