He still makes points, albeit not as strongly as we would like&#8230;but if you NOTE even his tepid overtures are NOT followed up or conjoined by the rest of the white cable heads on MSNBC.</p><p>So, I can&#39;t HATE on Eugene for that. Would I like to see him do more? You bet. But it ain&#39;t gonna happen.  Eugene did not get where he is by being a trailblazer, so it is foolish to think that he will be the one carrying the torch now.</p> ]]></content:encoded> </item> <item><title>By: whiterosebuddy</title><link>http://www.jackandjillpolitics.com/2009/07/saturday-open-thread-53/comment-page-1/#comment-242592</link> <dc:creator>whiterosebuddy</dc:creator> <pubDate>Sun, 19 Jul 2009 17:35:38 +0000</pubDate> <guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.jackandjillpolitics.com/?p=13304#comment-242592</guid> <description>&quot;When white women are perming their hair they are seeking to get curls which naturally appear with them&quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Well, the same would be true for AA&#039;s who have naturally &#039;straight&#039; hair like Valerie Jarrett and Desiree Rogers.
