Do you think that the RACE CARD is being beaten to death by MAINSTREAM MEDIA ?

The media. The ultimate brainwashing machine. Especially when it comes to social


issues. I think we as Americans need to be


careful not to judge things not based on merit. If we do, we shall end up with another


George W Bush. Scare tactics, race bating,


cherry picking, catch phrases, verbal


psychology manipualtion. That is all it is.


And they use it well. They meaning cooperate Black/White America. We need


to focus on the issues and unite. Or we


will be destroyed. Simple. Partisanship,


biasedness, and petty politics is weak and


lame. Can we not see that we are being


hoodwinked by unseen evil ? ? I mean,


wisdom and knowledge is a threat to the foolish. Let us be wise and make sound


judgments. Not by our mind, but our heart.


You are not a pawn. Don't fall for this yall.


Let us stick together. What do you think ?

Do you think that the RACE CARD is being beaten to death by MAINSTREAM MEDIA ?
Zodiac or Zulu...which one is it this time?





The media did it's on job on Barack...if that is what you are referring to. No one should complain. It would have been worst if this guy won the President and then Obama supporters found out after the fact.





There would be a lot of bitterness.





MSNBC is humilated by all this...because those idiots were practically kissing his @$$..





They were taken like a dirty tramp.





When the Imus ordeal broke out....I recall there was a lot of media outcry....to include from Barack
Reply:As usual, the media are acting the fool.. The sad thing is that they reach a lot of uneducated, simple people who do not know better and will swallow all they say as absolute truth. We would all do well to turn off our television sets and just make decisions on what we actually see or hear. The last thing we need is Anderson Cooper or that fool Wolf Blitzer interpreting for us... They are both Obamamaniacs and so we never hear anything good about the other side.
Reply:Politicans are about power and they will use race to get power.





Sadly Obama lost alll credibility to me when his preachers videos were released.





If he was white and went to church that preached that way about black people who would not only be out of the race but out of the Senate.
Reply:Its been beaten to death because the issues of race become apparent each passing day.
Reply:I think a lot of things have been "beaten to death" by the mainstream media. The media doesn't really care as long as there's a story and they can get it. While the things they find out aren't necessarily false, they do exagerrate certain parts of it to make it seem worse or better than it really is. Many of us just need to sit back and think to ourselves about the issues and not let the media decide for us what we should think. Ultimately, I believe that we need to take care of this country. To preserve what we have and to allow our children to have the same opportunities that we had. I just don't believe that going on an endless war trying to root out all of the world's terrorists is the answer.
Reply:Its not going away anytime soon.





The problem is that nobody was complaining while Obama was untouchable in the media.





He was the chosen one but now that this story has broke the same people who were saying that Hillary was silly for thinking that the media was biased FOR Obama are the very people who think that now the media is biased AGAINST Obama, remember Geraldine Ferraro, she was slayed by the media for her comments and they were mild in comparison.
Reply:I agree that the race card is being beaten to death, but I don't agree that this is some sort of brainwashing plot by corporate America. It's more about ratings.





I think that since the media is a business, it gives us what we want. A lot of people don't want to talk about economic policy or the intracacies of foreign policy because it is either dull or complicated. However, stories about race can be sensationalized, and there isn't a whole lot of complicated economic or political theory behind it. For whatever reason it draws the attention of people.





If something draws the attention of people, then it draws the attention of advertisers. If it draws the attention of advertisers, it draws money. And ultimately, this is what it is about.
Reply:This story will be milked for all its worth only until something more attention grabbing comes alomg, then be forgotten.
Reply:It is definetely being beaten to death, but was not unexpected. There was no way this campaign was going to pass by without race becoming an issue. Some people needed this to happen so they could point and say Obama and black people are the racist, not us. Rather than these people saying they fear and dislike black people, which they know is socially unacceptable to say, it allows them to point to this issue and put the blame elsewhere. It's a way to say, "it's not us, it's those black people."





I have no issue with the media exploring everything about a candidate, but when it is beaten to death like this, then it stops being informative. We will end up in this country not making progress because we will be bogged down in things like this. As long as we keep fighting among ourselves, the elite/business, will be able to do things unnoticed by the rest of us.
Reply:No, the race card can be used because certain candidates have made choices in the past that allow this to become public debate.
Reply:Yes, the media and many politicians are beating the race issue to death but I don't agree with the brainwashing part of your statement. I am a older guy. I have been around a long time. Let me tell you, regardless of what is being touted by the media, real people of all races are getting along pretty well.





I see lots of young people of all different races hanging out together and dating etc. Perhaps they did not get the memo that they are not supposed to get along that well.





It is up to the young people to change things. It has always been so. That is why young people should seek out and read the works of our Founding Fathers and learn the real History of America as it was formed and grew in the context of time. Not by looking back through the filter of modern sensibilities and deriding everything. If you do this you can bring America closer to the vision the Founders had for her from the beginning.
