Again I ask, why is it that nobody trusts the media.....except with their portrayal of "the black community?" Has it ever crossed any of y'alls minds that maybe those black people who want to speak out against the Als and Jesses of the world get no airtime or get ignored?

Eta: Like I said in a post the other day, its blatantly obvious to me which posters actually know and interact with a spectrum of black people vs those who just watch or hear about them through TV/media.

once again man...the trend is these people are supported. People go to their churches, and give them tons of money.

Jesus. Yes, there are some who speak out, but they are by far the small majority.

I know one particular black figure who would have no problem getting airtime if he chose to condemn the race baiting actions of people like Al Sharpton.

Really agree with this. The media has an interest in playing up racial conflict (really any conflict). Moderate voices of reason don't get as much play because, well, they are less interesting than media whores like Al Sharpton or Ann Coulter.
