Participants on Morning Joe and Joe too are pissing me off this morning. [View all]

Talk of the economy focuses only on African Americans. Poverty does not just have shades of brown. If you give statistics for those filing for unemployment and only call out the numbers for African Americans, that is wrong. How many others filed? If you speak of the women of color cleaning rooms and equate that with, as the participant says, us who have more, then reveal that housekeeping jobs are filled by many ethnicities. There use to be, and might still exist, that women of color would do the hotel work during the week, and then the White maids would come on shift on Sundays during checkout and collect the tips.
Maybe those comments are unintentional, but they are blazing this morning. In addition, I hate the analysis of how the educated versus the uneducated will vote. It is an elitist analysis. Many friends have never graced the halls of advanced academia, but have a voice on political issues that are more perceptive than the crap on the 24/7 news cycle. The labeling irritates me.
This is my morning rant. Flame away!
