Petition To Stop FOX's Racist Attacks

Thanks to Garden State Lady for the following info. Seems like MoveOn is taking a stand against FOX's blatantly offensive "reporting" on Obama (be sure to check out the link to that video; their bias so IN YOUR FACE).....


Dear MoveOn member,

Over 428,000 people have signed a petition telling FOX to stop their racist and hate-filled smears against Barack Obama. If we hit half-a-million signatures, we can draw media attention and put pressure on FOX's advertisers.

Plus, Robert Greenwald's Brave New Films released a video this morning documenting FOX's ongoing smears against Michelle Obama. Please check out the video, and then sign the petition calling on FOX to stop peddling racism—and then tell your friends. Just click here:

FOX is shameless: in the several weeks alone, they've "confused" Obama's name with Osama's, referred to Michelle as "Obama's Baby Mama," and called an affectionate fist bump by Barack and Michelle a "terrorist fist jab."

Our partners at ColorOfChange.org will hold a major event next week to deliver boxes and boxes of petition signatures to FOX's headquarters. If we can deliver half-a-million signatures, other media outlets will have a powerful story to report—and FOX's advertisers will get the hint that it's not a good idea to associate their products with FOX's hate-speech.
Thanks for helping to fight the right-wing smears.

P.S. Congressman Robert Wexler (D-FL) has a new book out, and we thought you might be interested. The Nation called Wexler the country's "Most Valuable Congressman," and he's stood with MoveOn on numerous causes, from ending the war to stopping warrantless wiretapping in FISA. Now he's written "Fire Breathing Liberal," a fascinating account of life as an outspoken progressive in the House of Representatives. Says Comedian Stephen Colbert, "I enjoyed Congressman Wexler's book even more than I enjoy cocaine and prostitutes." You can check it out here:

And The Hater Award Goes To.....JESSE JACKSON!!!!

As much as I detest looking at this ghoul O'Reilly, I just gots to show you the actual video of Rev. Jackson's comments.





This is because I can't believe how many of you had NO IDEA ABOUT THIS or just thought all that was said was that he didn't like Obama "talking down" to Black people. Uh uhhh. He said something WAY MORE OFF THE CHAIN than that.

(Hey, but I understand. You're so in love with G-n-B (and so fed up with mainstream media) that this might be the only news you pay attention to these days....Thanks, but still READ THE NEWSPAPER, CLICK ON SOME YAHOO, OR WATCH THE 6 O'CLOCK OR 11 O'CLOCK NEWS AT LEAST ONCE IN A WHILE.....)

And with that "nuts" comment, you can tell he meant it too, because look at how he moved his arm at the end of the comment, AS IF HE REALLY HAD A KNIFE TO DO IT WITH. Damn, Jesse! Why???????

Obama Family Interview: Debrief

Okay, interview was so brief that if you blinked you missed it, but here's an on the fly G-n-B debrief....

- Mailia (the older daughter, 10 years old) looks like her daddy and Sasha (7 years old) looks more like Michelle.

- I LOVED the fact that Malia had cornrows in her hair. America (Black, white and whomever) need to see that some of us are indeed happy with our natural hair - even a future First Daughter.

- Michelle's make-up was FANTASTIC!

- Revelation: Sasha lets slip that her pops don't like ice-cream (!!!!!)....Wonder what the Republicans will do with that SHOCKER....

UPDATE: My bad, interview wasn't over, they just took a commercial break (c'mon, forgive me, I'm giving you an up to the minute play-by-play after all). So more debrief....

- now that the primary is over, Michelle says Barack is home at least once a week.

- His most romantic gesture lately? He just bought her flowers and they always go out on dates.

- HER most romantic gesture lately? "I take care of your children" (LOL!!!!)

- Even though some children think it's "embarrassing," she actually likes it when mommy and daddy hold hands and hug (aww....Black love in full-effect...AMERICA, ARE YOU WATCHING!!!!!)

Obama Family Interview on NOW!!!!

Quick, turn on the TV right now! The WHOLE OBAMA FAMILY is gonna be on NBC's entertainment show "Access Hollywood." This is a big deal because they have NEVER been interviewed all together before - and for good reason. Barack apparently has told reporters that he does NOT want photos of his kids taken.

Shoot, I hear that! It's worse enough they trying to step to the man's WIFE, but the least they could do is lay off the man's chi'ren.

Talk to you later, I need to watch this

First Look! All Black Italian Vogue Cover

Well here it is! The long awaited cover of the July issue of Italian Vogue which reportedly ONLY features Black models [photo from BlackAmericaWeb.com]....


So what do you think? I totally understand all the oddity that goes along with fashion, but still, this cover strikes me is kinda weird. Why they always gotta make us look bizarre, crazed, savage, freaky or animalistic???

I still can't find the mag yet(WHERE THE HECK ARE YOU PEOPLE?? HELP!), so I'll reserve further comment until I get to see the editorial. In the meantime, check out this article on BlackAmericaWeb.com

UPDATE: I was just told that the above mentioned website showed the wrong cover. The original one posted on G-n-B weeks ago is correct and one of these is what you should look for.
