‘SNL’ welcomes black female cast member

CNN’s Don Lemon talks to Sheryl Underwood about “Saturday Night Live” hiring its newest black female cast member.

Community Village‘s insight:

And Native Americans, and Persians need to be added to the cast. (the CNN video mentions Asians).

There’s always some white person trying to defend hiring only white people. He’s trying to say that only white people had the talent.

‘We called for help, and they killed my son,’ North Carolina man says

70 seconds: That’s how long a North Carolina family says it took for things to go horribly wrong after they called police for help with their mentally ill son.

 

Community Village‘s insight:

 

If you call the police for “help”, be aware that the police carry guns. The police will use their guns if they feel their life is being threatened.

Forty Million Dollar Slaves: The Rise, Fall, and Redemption of the Black Athlete

 

From Jackie Robinson to Muhammad Ali and Arthur Ashe, African American athletes have been at the center of modern culture, their on-the-field heroics admired and stratospheric earnings envied. But for all their money, fame, and achievement, says New York Times columnist William C. Rhoden, black athletes still find themselves on the periphery of true power in the multibillion-dollar industry their talent built.

 

 

Community Village‘s insight:

 

For those who have no sympathy for millionaires, remember that money isn’t everything. How much is your health worth?

CNN turns story of murder into a “feel good” story

I’m calling out male violence when I see it. Male violence is a huge problem in our society.

This story does no justice to the wife who was murdered. I would think she would want media to call out men on their violence?

CNN dropped the ball on this one. They turned the story upside down. Instead of talking about male aggression, they talk about how great technology is and almost make the murderer out to be a hero because his wife’s organs went to seven other people. Wow. This CNN coverage is male privilege and patriarchy at it’s worst.
