blackink said...: Yeah, Cami. I was thinking about that after I posted it.

Like, I have no problems with Rev. Sharpton. Really. He's earned his stripes, and in general, I think he's a sensible guy.

But we have to shake people of the notion that there's such a thing as a black spokesperson. I/we/black people are not a monolith.

TNC has a great riff about this subject. I'll add a link a little later.; May 27, 2009 at 3:38 PM
