I suppose it could have been a coincidence. But the MSM normally displays such an exquisite sense of political correctness in choosing which people to feature in its segments. So when a Good Morning America segment on people who have recently lost their jobs focused exclusively on melanin-deprived folks, it made me wonder. Did ABC have some kind of motive at work here?

ABC correspondent John Berman narrated the segment. It told the tale of seven people. Roger Olsen, Lee Sakellarides, Doreen Baird, Karen Albert, Dori Martin and two unidentified folks all had something in common beyond being members of the newly unemployed. They were all people of pallor.

ABC’s unemployed people of pallor ping to Today show list.

[QBFimi]

Naw - we ‘jus be race pimpin!

[Obadiah]

I’m sure it was just a simple oversight on the part of ABC. .../s

[DuncanWaring]

Oh No! Not victims of the dreaded Melanin Deficit Disorder!

[governsleastgovernsbest]

Yes, tragic. I believe Michael Jackson might be doing a benefit concert for them ;-)

[autumnraine]

Well, if it’s effecting the white folks, you KNOW it’s bad. /s

[DuncanWaring]

He could also do concerts for people with Gender Deficit Disorder.

You might have noticed that since Obama got elected the media have turned up the economy gloom and doom stories several notches. You would think now that their guy is in office that they would do an about face and start saying how great everything from now on is going to be. But that is just not happening.

They are trying to instill a great fear in us so that we will want change. So that we will not only accept, but cry out for any changes Obama presents as our only hope.

The people with more pigmentation are already on board with whatever Obama wants to do, no need to be frightening them any further.

Look for this doom and gloom reporting to continue at least until fall. They will present some good news so as to make it look as if Obamas plan is working, but overall they will paint a dismal picture.

The scare tactics are working and they will continue to go with what works.

“People of Palor” .... that’s hilarious ... you have SUCH a way with words, Mark!

I’d like to take credit but can’t. Don’t know where I saw it first, but do know it’s a favorite phrase of James Taranto in his Best of the Web column in the online edition of the Wall Street Journal.

The gal in the middle left (Brady Bunch’s “Peter” square) looks Asian.

Of course, we know Asians aren’t “real minorities” because they, as a group, are successful in America.

I’d like to take credit but can’t.

I'm gonna take credit for this comment.

What's in the stimulus package:

No Jobs For White Male Construction Workers

It's time to burn Washington DC to the ground!!

[Lancey Howard]

Did ABC have some kind of motive at work here?

ABC's political agenda is to frighten white people (ie., private-sector taxpayers) into supporting trillions of dollars of Democrat pork in the name of "economic stimulus".
Good observation, glgb

Quite sure she is not. Have a look at the video clip:

[governsleastgovernsbest]

Thanks, Lancey. I think you might be onto something.

[sauropod]

Robert Reich sez no construction jobs for them!

[governsleastgovernsbest]

And yet there’s $117 billion in there for midgets ;-)

They dredge up these people that are somehow associated with the people in the newsroom. It’s the cameraman’s second cousin, the news directors nephew, etc.

They don’t know a lot of black people personally.........
