It is, after all, Black History Month!

Just like "The Man" to make Black History Month, in February, the shortest month of the year.

Brokaw: "The White captain abandons the black soldiers."

"Let me say it for you, the white captain scooted, he got outta there." Nudge, nudge.

VH1 does like a Biggest Loser type show, but with B list fat celebrities. The season finale is tonight, so they have had a marathon all day.

Every time I walk into the room, I'm hearing about "white commanders." "White commanders sent them on a suicide mission!" Tom, do you think the *white commanders* might want the mission objectives to be accomplished? Do you think maybe it's a testament to their faith in these soldiers that they sent them on such crucial missions? As if white soldiers were not sent into harm's way either.

Thanks for the ping Howlin...this coverage is disgusting, it's the wrong time for Brokaw to make his politcal statements!

My dad was a veteran of Italy. I am sorry he didn't live to hear Berlusconi thank the Americans for liberating Italy.

You know, just when you think we could be making some progress and forgetting about race, someone like Brokaw has to bring it back up.

This man is a true American Hero...I'm sorry to say what Brokaw is reporting is true....the bigotry showed to black military personnel is still a black spot on all military branches......
