The People Have Spoken
Radio networks need money to stay in business. This revenue comes from advertising. Advertisers decide whether to buy air time based on network ratings. When no one listens to a radio program, ratings dwindle and ad revenue dries up. Through this free and democratic process, Air America has been ousted:
Air America ceased airing new programs Thursday afternoon and said it will soon file to be liquidated under Chapter 7 bankruptcy. It began broadcasting reruns of programs and would end those as well Monday night.
The people have spoken.
No Negro Dialect
Harry Reid said of Barack Obama back in 2008 that he is electable because he is:
“light skinned… with no Negro dialect, unless he wanted to have one.”
Now that this is news, Reid has apologized to Obama and blacks.
Why?
Reid’s comment only displays his own backwards way of thinking, referring to blacks as “Negroes.” He says nothing disparaging about Obama, unless Obama resents the implication that he would use different manners of speaking to suit his own aspirations, that is, unless Obama resents the implication that he is a politician.
Reid should apologize to the American people. The soon to be former Senator clearly thinks that Americans are too racist to elect a dark-skinned politician with a “Negro” dialect.
