The sight this week of MSNBC’s nearly all-white anchor line-up hyping
the network’s Sunday special, “The Black Agenda” hosted by Ed Schultz
was almost beyond parody, but not quite.
The show was branded as “hosted by Ed Schultz” most
of the
week, but someone decided to add Tamron Hall, the network’s one
African-American anchor, to the branding at some point. After some
criticism, the network also highlighted Al Sharpton’s involvement.
The special airs at noon today. We took a stab at
marketing it ourselves. “The Black Agenda with Ed Schultz: Because who
knows more about black people than a guy from… North Dakota?”

And here I thought Obama's election meant we had entered the "post-racial" phase of American politics.
ReplyDeleteBut the real question is whether Tamron Hall is a token or and Uncle Tom. Or maybe he's a "house negro", as Harry Belafonte called Colin Powell.
Where are all the white women?
