"black" president or a female president ---
Please NOTE: I'm watching parts of Olbermann right now --- he's on with a bunch of white men?
Does any of that make cause you to wonder?
people of color and females in power are generally disappeared from our TVs and newspapers ---
only women allowed have to be cleaning johns or showing their boobs ---

Back then, you could turn on CBS and watch hours of black women discussing the days' headlines.

You may think you're kidding about things going backwards --- however, when I first started watching C-span in '88, you could actually see women discussing something other than food and children --- and you could see people of color. In fact, C-span began with an African-American host but then for a long spell only whites allowed!!!
