This week on Black Politics... with Chris Owens, Saturday September 6, 2008
On this week's show . . . we're airing THE BEST of Black Politics because I’m finally home after an amazing trip across the country.
So, we’re re-airing my interview w/ my friend Melissa Harris Lacewell. She’s Associate Professor, of Politics and African American Studies at Princeton University. You may remember, I spoke with Melissa just before the DNC.
Melissa is also the author of the award-winning book, "Barbershops, Bibles, and BET: Everyday Talk and Black Political Thought" (Princeton 2004). And, she is currently at work on a new book: “For Colored Girls Who've Considered Politics When Being Strong Wasn't Enough.”
Tune in because you’re going to get an earful . . . Plus, and this is NEW, I want to share a few thoughts about my travels these past couple of weeks. Going to the DNC this year was especially meaningful, for a lot of reasons. I can’t get into the whole thing right now, but listen in Saturday morning at 11 am to hear more. . .
And, see me this Monday on GritTV. I'll be on the media roundtable with host Laura Flanders. Check it out Monday evening at http://lauraflanders.firedoglake.com/.

I don't think Obama is the one we Black and Hispanic people should be worried about. Sarah Palin is a corrupt politician. The media is trying their best to cover it up but there is so much that it keeps leaking out! It appears McCain wasn't thinking with the right "head" when he chose this one. We need more drama, baby mama or otherwise, in the White House like we need a hole in the brain. Just ask the people of Alaska. There is a woman who was afraid to run against her. Why? Could it be because she was afraid she would end up on a dirt road with a bullet in the back of her head? McCain had better watch his back and his medicine cabinet because this person wants to be president and if McCain doesn't croak fast enough...And does she like black people? I can't see it. If black people think they have it bad now, let pistol-packing mama get into the driver's seat.
