While we're discussing whether the country is ready yet for a
"black" president or a female president ---

Please NOTE: I'm watching parts of Olbermann right now ---
he's on with a bunch of white men?

Does any of that make cause you to wonder?

people of color and females in power are generally disappeared from our TVs and newspapers ---

only women allowed have to be cleaning johns or showing their boobs ---

Back then, you could turn on CBS and watch hours of black women discussing the days' headlines.

2. Back then, you might see Malcolm X . . . actually saying something!!
You may think you're kidding about things going backwards ---
however, when I first started watching C-span in '88, you could actually see women discussing
something other than food and children --- and you could see people of color.
In fact, C-span began with an African-American host but then for a long spell only whites allowed!!!
