So, was yesterday the RNC African-American day?
Every time I put C-Span on there was an African-American speaking..Ron Paige, a few others, then a reporter doing a story on RNC delegates volunteering around New York (that was a funny story), a few others...couple of kids in the audience...and for balance they stuck a couple of Latinos in there too...and you say this party is rich white men only...come on!

and maybe even some Haitian waiters.

Just more of those good-paying jobs Bush has created.

3. Can't say they are not inclusive!
I'll bet most of the porters and cooks are minorities!

4. "Black Tuesday" is what an African American reporter said on CNN
that African-Americans were jokingly calling it.


But MAN did anyone see the Jon Stewart coverage of the DNC convention (replayed night before last in a marathon) and his riff on SHARPTON's speech and how "jive" the reporters were in covering it? JESUS help us!

I had MISSED that when it happened. It was an absolute must see.

5. I saw that when they first aired it and he was
right on the money. He showed clips of all the pundits saying what a disaster, he is hijacking the convention,etc. Then he shows the clips of blacks wildly applauding. It was priceless. He really made the "mainstream" media look like the fools they are.
