“...TV One as it is for the African American community...”

Tell me again, what channel does whitey have?

[Piquaboy]

Of course, that is not racist, but let some station try this with a white audience.

[SoFloFreeper]

TV One does have a Republican pundit as part of its convention coverage, comedian Sheryl Underwood. But she’s also voting for Obama.

Then frankly, she is not a Republican.

[edzo4]

right, and radio needs the fairness doctrine...

[SES1066]

We decide, you follow (Race does not matter for robots /sarc)!

[threeoeight]

I think the Fairness Doctrine should apply. Black should be exposed to what the Republicans have to say.

[BunnySlippers]

Don’t they get government funds? I’m almost sure they do.

[Paperdoll]

This is taking playing the race a bit far, isn’t it? Can you imagine the loud indignation of the Left if this was reversed?

[BallyBill]

I actually thought the station does a good job of explaining why they are doing it.

It would be cool for the Military Channel to cover only the Republican convention.

"My audience is 93% black," Rodgers added. "I serve my audience."

What happened to Dr. King's dream of not color of skin mattering but content of heart?

[Fox_Mulder77]

I have an idea: CMT(with a mostly white audience) should televise the RNC convention only, and say that their audience doesn’t have an interest in Obama..... oh the crap storm that would create!!

( “African Americans have fallen in love with his candidacy, his family … we will be covering the democratic convention all the time.” )

Because he is black? Isn’t that racist?
If his agenda is against America, which I beleive it is, then I could not be for him if he was black, white or polka dot.
There could be hundreds of black men or women that I would willing cast a vote for. Not because of their color but because of their ability to do the specific job.
Obama is not now nor will he ever be one of them...........

[Hebrewbrother]

"TV One plans to break from its usual entertainment programming to provide extensive coverage of the Democratic National Convention in August"

Confirming once again that Liberalism is entertainment.

[HIDEK6]

The old “color of their skin” thing.

[SoCal Pubbie]

What’s the big deal? This is daily SOP for shows like Extra, Entertainment Tonight, and The Insider. They are little more than press offices for the Obama Campaign.

[mmichaels1970]

"My audience is 93% black," Rodgers added. "I serve my audience."

And of course you assume that 93% of your audience are a bunch of racists who will only vote or care for someone who shares their skin color. And/or you assume that 93% of your audience are too stupid to truly understand policy positions and will only be interested in a guy who looks most like them.

And of course anyone who doesn’t vote for Saint Obama will be branded racist.

[rrrod]

A case could be made this is an illegal campaign contribution....put em in jail!

[KansasGirl]

This is fine with me. BET should also cover Hussein 24 seven and he should host the hip hop awards. It just paints Hussein as the “black candidate” as opposed to a candidate for all Americans.
