No you won't. It's the truth. The media is all about the money and they decided that Jessica would be more marketable than Shoshana.

Thanks. I was ready for a full assault. While I believe that the racial issue is sometime overdone(Jesse Jackson)this is one case where I see that the media was biased in it's reporting of 2 equally special women who went through similar circumstances yet one was the darling of the media and the other was an afterthought. It just really pissed me off.

Johnson spoke at my old college. She was invited to be the keynote speaker to open black history month at Nassau Community College. I wish I was there when a student got up and asked her how she felt about participating in an illegal war. She said she'd do all over again and she loved the Army! *LOL* She also was at the Times Square NYE celebration so she gets around. I like that she doesn't showboat or get baited by particular questions. Personally I liked Lynch too. I don't think race was the only factor in play with why the media obsessed about her. She was from West Virginia, and for some reason the media likes to fixate on horror stories from WV.
