Thoughts on Melissa Harris-Lacewell's comments on Rachel? |
|
http://www.melissaharrislacewell.com/I love her, but her first comment floored me. I'll find the video and post it.

:wow:
Shit, I'm happy he hasn't been, too. It's sad, but when we've had good guys before, they've been silenced. Maybe that needed to be said.

As a middle-aged white woman, I've been so jazzed! Of course it's a thought, but not the main one.
I'm just so damned grateful. And just about every day for 100 days!

9. I wasn't sure how I felt about that either. |
|
I don't think the woman, okay, okay I know she's black, is giving black people enough credit. I'm not sure if I was offended by the interview, amused by it, or what I was.
I remember at the end feeling like she needed to move to my neighborhood for a while and get in touch with some real people.
Also, I was a little disappointed with the "Swaga" bit CNN did. Can we leave this stuff alone now people?
