Foot-in-mouth-itis
As we may all be aware, media coverage of Michael Jackson’s death and memorial has capture the attention of the nation and the rest of the world.
News media in almost every area has dedicated countless hours to the coverage of the demise of “the best entertainer of all times.”
Not everybody is happy or even tolerant; NY Congressman Pete King scowled that Michael Jackson was a “pervert and a low-life,” and should not be receiving all the attention.
African Americans who dominate nearly every aspect of U.S. society: Michael Jackson, King of Pop; Serena Williams, tennis pro; Tiger Woods, golf pro; Oprah, talk show celebrity; etc. are not ones to remain silent.
Almost as soon as congressman King finished spewing his nefarious comments fans of Michael Jackson mobilized to set up a fund raiser to fund any opponent who will go against King. Kin being rendered politically dead in the water.
King is notorious for putting his foot in his mouth. He has complained that there are too many mosques in this country and that Manhattan is like being in Baghdad.
I would like to invite him to Space City U.S.A. (Houston) where there is a taqueria in every corner.
One of the most qualified and able Hispanics is a nominee to the Supreme Court and under attack for her ethnicity: Judge Sonia Sotomayor.
The question is:
¿ what will we do Will we sit idly or will we contact our congressman and women and say: we will think of you in the polls the way you thought of us. Will our voices be heard?
