PDFFrom Politcs365:
[I]t is all part of the Natalie Holloway/Kaylee Anthony/Chandra Levy/Yeardley Love –esque way that Americans select, with prejudice, whose crosses and battles to bear. Indeed, we have a penchant for getting engrossed and engaged over ills, death and wrongs when done to certain victims … yet we tacitly and practically ignore others.
For example, the mainstream press didn’t really cover much the condescending remarks Rush had about First Lady Michelle Obama even though no other president’s wife had been on the receiving end of such verbal assaults. Black radio and press was all over it though.
But, let it be a Black woman and you hear only crickets chirping at the mainstream press studios.
Just last February, Rush criticized her for not looking like a stick thin Sports Illustrated swimsuit model during his February 21, 2011 show. A few months later in August, he dug into her again on what he perceived was the “leftist media’s” insufficient criticism of her vacation as a form of reparation for “our slave past.”
