The word race has a bad ring to it it&#039;s like speaking of another breed,cat,dog etc....It&#039;s always about the same subject if we all would just judge everyone by his deed  the world would be a better place!And that goes for every politician!!!!!!!!!!! and mankind.</description>

		<description>When Mr. Carter specifically laid out who he saw as racist I knew his nuance would be paved over into gross generalities---then attacked. He never said they all were or that anyone who criticized Obama and his policies as racist. Only certain among the top most vile attackers showed it was more than just what he was doing. From the &#039;birthers&#039; onward.

Van Jones was talking about environmental racism, not serial killers. The poor would get to be host to toxic unregulated dump sites. Most of them were people of color. What attacks do you mean?

Everyone is biased. That is the lie you have been fed. The ability to lay out all the facts and points of view means you are neutral, not un-biased.

I criticize Obama for his reich wing slant and keeping the fascist polices from the previous administration. I give it to him the way I would give to Reagan or Bush (I&amp;II) and Clinton et al. I don&#039;t care about his personality or his appearance it is what he does as a politico that I care about as should everyone else.</description>

		<description>PanaSemita: Although I do agree with your principal that the US has devastating policies towards Latin America, blaming Obama for FTA is wrong.  FTA was signed in by Bush.  Secondly, wasn&#039;t it the Bush administration who financed a coop against a democratically elected president- Chavez.  Bush good (or not as bad as Obama) for S. America??!!!!  Where do you get your information from Fox?

Sorry to go off topic.  I think Fair should do more on exposing racism on both sides.  Just look at Obama&#039;s knee jerk reaction about Officer Crowley for arresting his buddy Professor Gates.  Boy did Obama put his foot in his mouth.  Now I do not know if this was just a bad opinion of Obamas based on Gates status or there was some racial motivation.  It seems like calling the police stupid because the suspect was a black intellectual and the cop was white could have some racial overtones.  Again I cannot look into Obama&#039;s mind but shouldn&#039;t someone on the progressive side call him out on this?
See this is why a lot of white America will not listen to progressive media.  Fine, point out the faults of white America.  That is what the media is for.  If you are truly an unbiased media outlet be just that, unbiased.  Point out the faults of others and 60+% of America might begin to listen and react.
What about Van Jones, Obama&#039;s Green jobs appointee?  That was nice of him to label white people as the only mass murders.  It is fact that 15% of all mass/serial killers are black which happens to be very close to the percentage of the US population that is black.  Now Obama appoints him and you hear nothing about his shortcomings in the progressive media.
Carter could very well be right about Wilson but don&#039;t stop there!</description>
