There should be enough space for him to help organize and communicate with folk through the airwaves, as well as space to discuss relationships in the Black community. In this nation Black people are held to such an unfair standard. One can be political and like to party for example - the two are not mutually exclusive. With Baisden, he doesn't try to be something he's not. I appreciate that fact. <BR/><BR/>Too often we hold people to ridiculous standards of moral purity that doesn't really jibe with reality.Le Tigre Rougehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08617049241496531186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4754850197734248374.post-6258649139891306802007-09-22T14:03:00.000-04:002007-09-22T14:03:00.000-04:00Great commentary, LTR.

Too often I think Black media fails to recognize the power the air-waves have to change minds and mold opinions. I have my issues with the media, and Black media in particular, but I’ll reserve those for another time. Hopefully, now that some of these air personalities recognize they have a voice and can affect social change with through the media, they will continue to focus on important social issues as much as they focus on “love, lust, and lies.” Might not happen next week, but D-Fence can dream…Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
