Old School Black Leadership and The Obama Campaign

Tavis Smiley

AAPP says: I Just finished reading an article by Darryl Fears in the washingtonpost.com. In
the article he talks about Tavis Smiley, the bestselling author of the
"Covenant With Black America," and how Tavis is being "hammered,"
"barbecued," and is "catching hell" from black Americans for suggesting
that Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) made a major mistake by declining to
speak at the State of the Black Union event that Smiley plans to host next week in New Orleans.

Here is the article and my thoughts, highlighted in red. Based on what I'm reading and hearing, Tavis is another Black Crab hating on Obama. UPDATE: Here is a link to my BlogTalk Radio Show. Sorry about the call in from the Rednecks.

I truly think this needs to be filed/tagged under Opinions, as all of this falls into the Op Ed type material.

Are you sure that this comment is necessary? "Sorry about the call in from the Rednecks". That sounds like stereotyping. Also, if it's your broadcast, just edit it out if you don't want it.
