Everybody’s favorite nutbag, Keith Olbermann — who was fired from ESPN in 1997 for being a dick — wants to know
Where are the people of color at the Tea parties?
The fact that an NBC person is asking this asking this is, well, ridiculous. Michelle Malkin has pointed out for some time just how White NBC is.
However, suppose someone else — someone honest and with integrity — were to ask the question. How would I answer it?
Well, I could point out the Black man — identified as “an unidentified man” — at the Tea Party rally in Arizona who was carrying an AR-15. You may recall that NBC’s Contessa Brewer showed a close-up of his weapon, but not showing any skin (so you couldn’t tell he is Black), as she narrated: “there are questions about whether this has racial overtones….white people showing up with guns.”
Of course, there were Blacks present at the Tea Party in Columbus, GA on Independence Day. Blacks were in the crowd, as well as leading the protest.
But, that was in Georgia, where Blacks make up 30% of the population, as opposed to New York’s 17%.
Maybe I shouldn’t bother to get into such a discussion on how many Blacks are involved in the Tea Party protests. Maybe NBC shouldn’t be the Peacock Network, but instead, be called the Pea-brain Network.
i have a brief rebuttal to mr. Olbermann in tomorrow nights IMAO theater.
Kinda hard to bring up the plight of a minority when a qualified and competent Black man or woman is lurking around.
He might STEAL your job Kieth!!!
Have a nut bag like Sharpton on to spread the crazy once in a while and the whole integration thing is covered. Not
that anything is Right with that.
What a great piece you linked to on Keith Olbermann’s dickness. You gotta love this section:
“It probably won’t come as much of a surprise that when Keith Olbermann was a kid, he got the tar kicked out of him on a regular basis. And not by the football team. ‘I got beat up by girls all the time,’ says Olbermann. ‘They literally posted a sign-up sheet and would take turns. I think that’s why I’ve always been such a fan of Mencken’s line, ‘Afflict the comfortable and comfort the afflicted.’ I’ve been afflicted.'”
lol…what a puss.
keith olberman makes me want to vomit!
You’d think black conservatives would be standing in line to be abused for sellouts, Uncle Toms, house ns, whatever they call blacks who want to be ‘people’ or ‘American’ before ‘black people’ or ‘African-American’.
It’s really not surprising with the greatest industry in this country for decades being the soviet indoctrination of (especially black) children.
I have the dubious luck to live in the Memphis area. Believe it or not, they still march on King’s birthday, singing “we shall overcome”. Be ready to run if you ask one of them “overcome what?”
It’s not response to discrimination. It’s a business model.
NBC – No Brothers Commentating
With Oberdouche, Silly Schultz, and Tingles Matthews it would be nice to have a male on pmsnbc. Oh, sorry, they have Mandow.
I like Olberman for reliable comic relief where serious matters are concerned. Every time he opens his mouth, something stupid tumbles out & it always reminds me of Hank Hill’s admonition of another ditzy, made up character on television:
“Just when I think you’ve said the dumbest thing EVER, you keep talking!”
There’s not much that sums up Kieth Olberman better than that line.
Get that man a comma!
Went to a Teaparty in the Southbay of L.A. this week and there were Blacks, Asians, Latinos and Whites there, but we didn’t really care about that, we were too busy finding candidates to defeat the left wingnuts out here.
