Saturday Open Thread

25 Oct 2008 Author: rikyrah

This was a viewer’s choice. From Yes We Can (Hold Babies).

These two boys waited as a long line of adults greeted Senator Obama before a rally on Martin Luther King Day in Columbia, S.C. They never took their eyes off of him. Their grandmother told me, “Our young men have waited a long time to have someone to look up to, to make them believe Dr. King’s words can be true for them.” Jan. 21, 2008

Good morning.

Well, it’s the weekend. Come on folks. Get out there and canvass. Phone bank. Talk to friends. Family. Ask them if they need help to the polls to early vote.

In between your weekend activities, drop by JJP.

Drop those links. Engage in debate. Give us trivia and gossip too.

And always, have a peaceful day.

Thank you rikyrah for this info.
You would know from the IP source of the comments. I thought someone was using those initials that I recognize from non-troll-type posts.
Still is driving me nuts, though.

That incident solidified my never supporting D.L. ever again.

Girl, I know. I'm so mad too. WTF is wrong with black comedians nowadays? I checked out Chocolate News, and vowed never again. NOW you come out with a show like this? Grier couldn't do a Colbert type show? Is this really the time to be regurgitating stereotypes when some of us are trying to surpass them? D.A.G. is better than this.

CNN made a blunder in giving a show to D.L. over Roland. What a slap in the face. It's ass backwards. Now Comedy Central has Chocolate News. All I could think of was Grier is so much better than this. The humor is so 1990s.
