		<link>http://articles.world-of-newave.info/society/issues/business/media/bias-and-balance/mclaughlin-obama-fits-the-stereotype-blacks-once-20080762417.htm</link>

		<description>On the edition of the syndicated program The McLaughlin Group that
aired the weekend of July 11-13, while
discussing recent comments
made by the Rev. Jesse Jackson about Sen. Barack Obama, host John McLaughlin said: "Question: Does
it frost Jackson, Jesse Jackson, that someone like Obama, who fits the
stereotype blacks once labeled as an Oreo -- a black on the outside, a white on
the inside -- that an Oreo should be the beneficiary of the long civil rights
struggle which Jesse Jackson spent his lifetime fighting for?"

Responding to McLaughlin's
question, panelist and Council on Foreign Relations senior fellow Peter Beinart
said: "Who knows what Jesse Jackson is thinking? But that's a
completely unfair depiction of Barack Obama." Later in the discussion,
Michelle Bernard, president of the Independent Women's Forum, said:
"I want to go back to the point you made about whether or not Obama is an Oreo, because if Barack
Obama is an Oreo, then every member of this generation of African-Americans is
an Oreo, because we stand on the shoulders of the people who fought for our
rights, and all of us say that you cannot blame 'the man' or white
racism for everything that ails the black community." 

From the July 11-13 edition of The McLaughlin Group:

McLAUGHLIN:
OK, let's nail this thing down, and here's a sample of what Jackson apparently sees as Obama disparaging
the black community. 

OBAMA
[video clip]: If we're honest with ourselves, we'll admit that too many
fathers are also missing. Too many fathers are MIA. Too many fathers are AWOL.
Missing from too many lives and too many homes. They've abandoned their
responsibilities. They're acting like boys instead of men. And the
foundations of our family have suffered because of it. You and I know this is
true everywhere, but nowhere is it more true than in the African-American
community.

McLAUGHLIN:
Question: Does it frost Jackson, Jesse Jackson, that someone like Obama, who
fits the stereotype blacks once labeled as an Oreo -- a black on the outside, a
white on the inside -- that an Oreo should be the beneficiary of the long civil
rights struggle which Jesse Jackson spent his lifetime fighting for? Peter
Beinart.

BEINART:
Who knows what Jesse Jackson is thinking? But that's a completely unfair
depiction of Barack Obama, who -- the genius of Barack Obama is that he moves
seamlessly between the African-American world and the white world in a way that
even Bill Clinton couldn't possibly match. And the tragedy of this experience is that you know who's
spoken very eloquently for many, many years about personal responsibility in
the black community? Jesse Jackson. He of all people should recognize, in fact,
that what Barack Obama is saying is not contrary to the message of the civil
rights movement, it is keeping with that message. 

McLAUGHLIN:
Now, let's nail it down a little bit more, for the sake of Jackson. The question is
this: Jackson's
point of contention is this -- this is the exit question. The point of
contention is that instead of Obama solely lecturing African-Americans on
parental duty, particularly fathers, he should also give equal attention to the
large, and many believe prejudicial, incarceration rate for blacks, their lack
of economic opportunities, and other public policy issues that limit choices for black
males. Why doesn't Obama hit that as hard as he hits individual parental
responsibility? That's what Jackson
is complaining about.

BEINART:
Barack Obama doesn't talk about jobs and health care? He talks about it
all the time. If you wanted to talk about the fact there were too many people
in prison, then you're asking him to do something that would lose him the
election. 

McLAUGHLIN:
Oh. Oh. Oh.

BEINART:
That is politically -- that no serious political strategist -- he's a man trying
to win the presidency, John. 

McLAUGHLIN:
He's exactly what Jeremiah Wright says he is: He will do whatever is
necessary to win. 

BEINART:
He's a practical politician --

ELEANOR
CLIFT (Newsweek contributing
editor): This is a generational shift. Jesse Jackson Jr. put out a statement
basically saying, "Dad, time to leave the stage." There is a disconnect in terms
of style and tactics from the older civil rights generation to the generation
that Obama is from and that he's trying to attract. 

McLAUGHLIN:
Does Jackson
have a legitimate point?

PAT
BUCHANAN (MSNBC political analyst): No, he doesn't.

McLAUGHLIN:
Why? 

BUCHANAN:
I'll tell you why, John -- here's why. What Barack Obama is saying
is a message that needs to be heard. It's the Bill Cosby message. It is,
look, this is our responsibility, these are our families. The white society is
not responsible for our kids dropping out of schools or using drugs or going on
welfare. We are. What Jesse Jackson says is the white community's
responsible and they've got to solve our problems. 

McLAUGHLIN:
Isn't this -- isn't this the oddity of the century where Barack Obama is
a conservative and Jesse Jackson is a liberal? Isn't that an oddity? 

BUCHANAN:
Well, Jesse Jackson used to talk conservatively --

BERNARD:
It is an oddity, but I want to go back to the point you made about whether or not Obama is an Oreo, because if
Barack Obama is an Oreo, then every member of this generation of
African-Americans is an Oreo, because we stand on the shoulders of the people
who fought for our rights, and all of us say that you cannot blame "the
man" or white racism for everything that ails the black community. 

McLAUGHLIN:
But what about changing public policy where it needs to be changed? 

BUCHANAN:
Public policy isn't the problem.

[crosstalk]

BERNARD:
If I can finish my point. What Jesse Jackson came out and said when he gave his
quote-unquote apology the next day was, Barack Obama should be demanding more
government programs for African-Americans, and that's wrong.

CLIFT:
As Jack White, a former Time
magazine writer, says, that it's disorienting for the black community when "the man" might be the guy in the
Oval Office. And so everybody is making some adjustments here. But Barack Obama is
handling his role beautifully, and that is to relate to America as a broad
population.</description>

		<title>{ISSUES &gt; BIAS AND BALANCE} - WABC* says Imus' explanation of controversial comments "makes sense" -- then why did Warner Wolf give a different one?</title>

		<description>On the June 24 edition
of ABC Radio Networks' Imus in the Morning,
host Don Imus gave his explanation for controversial comments he had made the previous day about
Dallas Cowboys football player Adam "Pacman" Jones , who, it was
noted, is African American, by asserting, "The point was, in order to make
a sarcastic point, I asked [sportscaster] Warner [Wolf] what color he
was," and later adding, "What people should be outraged about is
that they arrest blacks for no reason. And, I mean, there's no reason to arrest
this kid six times." After co-host and news anchor Charles McCord asked,
"And when does it simply become harassment?" Imus answered,
"I didn't -- yes, exactly. They shoot blacks for no reason. We know about
that in New York City.
I mean, we already understand all this." However later in the program,
sportscaster Warner Wolf -- who was also part of the June 23 discussion, during
which Imus referred to Jones' race in the context of talking about his
numerous arrests -- said, "[A]nybody that listens to the show knows that
whether it's a politician or an athlete or anyone, someone who's
obviously guilty, you joke and say, 'Well, it must have been
racism.' I mean, it's a joke. I mean, we all know that
'Pacman' is no model citizen. The guy's been arrested and
suspended. So it's a joke. You say, 'Well, it must be
racism.' It's like [former Chicago Bears player] Cedric Benson.
Guy's suspended, in fact, released by the Bears. Intoxicated while
driving a boat, intoxicated while driving. And you say, 'Well, he was
released? Must be racism.' It's a joke." Imus did not contest
Wolf's characterization of Imus'
June 23 remark during the next day's discussion. Notwithstanding the apparent conflict in their explanations, Newsday reported on June 25 that WABC* director of
programming Phil Boyce said of Imus'
explanation: "When I first heard the comment I thought that's
probably what he meant, but I called him and he explained and it made sense to
me. I said, 'Let's make sure you explain it the next time you're on the air,'
and he did a very good job."

Also during the June
24 program, Wolf asserted, "I think there's also another side. Many
times during the show, whether it's an athlete or a politician, when a
guy is obviously in the wrong -- let's say, like Cedric Benson, arrested
for drinking, driving a boat, driving a car, we know he's wrong -- and
you'll jokingly say, 'Well, it must be racism.' " Imus responded, not by challenging Wolf's different interpretation, but by asserting,
"Well, yeah, I mean, it's --" before Wolf interrupted,
"I mean, it's a joke." 

On the June 23 edition of Imus in the Morning, Wolf
noted that Jones had been suspended "following a shooting at a Vegas
nightclub." Imus said, "Well, stuff happens. You're in a
nightclub, for God's sake. What do you think's going to happen in a
nightclub? People are drinking, they're doing drugs, there are women
there, and people have guns. So there -- go ahead." Wolf continued,
"He's also -- he's been arrested six times since being
drafted by Tennessee
in 2005." Imus asked, "What color is he?" to which Wolf
replied, "He's African-American." Imus said, "Oh, well,
there you go. Now we know."

Wolf's comments purporting to explain Imus' June
23 remark echoed a statement Wolf reportedly made to Newsday, according to a June 24 article in that
publication. Newsday reported
that Wolf "said he was surprised the exchange had generated controversy."
It continued, "Wolf said regular listeners would recognize it as part of
a running, satirical joke in which Imus pokes fun at people who get into
serious trouble, then cry racism. He made a similar joke about the Chicago
Bears' Cedric Benson earlier this month after the football player's latest
arrest." 

From the June 23 edition of ABC Radio Networks' Imus in the Morning: 

WOLF: Oh, defensive back Adam
"Pacman" Jones, recently signed by the Cowboys. Here's a guy suspended
all of 2007, following a shooting at a Vegas nightclub.

IMUS: Well, stuff happens.
You're in a nightclub, for God's sake. What do you think's
going to happen in a nightclub? People are drinking, they're doing drugs,
there are women there, and people have guns. So there -- go ahead.

WOLF: He's also -- he's
been arrested six times since being drafted by Tennessee in 2005.

IMUS: What color is he?

WOLF: He's African-American.

IMUS: Oh, well, there you go. Now we
know.

WOLF: He wants to drop his nickname
"Pacman" because he says there's too much negativity tied to
it. I mean, like, people aren't going to know who he is if he drops his
nickname. 

IMUS: Well --

WOLF: "Who's that --
who's that new player? Oh, that's Adam Jones."

IMUS: OK, that's not bad. 

BERNARD McGUIRK (executive
producer): How about Adam "Dickhead" Jones?

IMUS: Yeah. How about that?

WOLF: Yeah. Is there no respect,
I-Man?

IMUS: I -- I'm not sure.

WOLF: Brazilian police have revealed
that the great Pelé was robbed at gunpoint in Sao Paolo, Brazil,
by 10 Brazilian bandits, taking his gold necklace, his watch, and his cell
phone. You can't rob Pelé in Brazil. I mean, you can rob him in Peru or Uruguay or --

IMUS: Or in a nightclub in Vegas.

WOLF: There you go.

IMUS: Yeah. 

WOLF: I mean this is the king,
right?

IMUS: Quarter after the hour.
Thanks, Warner, here on the Imus in the
Morning program. We will talk with Doris Kearns Goodwin, coming
up.

From the June 24 edition of Imus
in the Morning: 

IMUS: What did I mean by the "Pacman" Jones remark? I
thought, well -- what I meant was -- when
Warner and I were talking yesterday about "Pacman" Jones being arrested six times, and which I think was just -- you know, was obviously they're picking
on him. So I asked
Warner what color he was. Well, obviously,
I already knew what color he was. The point was, in order to make a sarcastic
point, I asked Warner what color he was. Warner tells me. I said, "Well, there you go." That's the point.

McCORD: Exactly.

IMUS: What people should be outraged
about is that they arrest blacks for no reason. And, I mean, there's no reason to arrest this
kid six times. I mean, maybe he did something once, but,
I mean, everybody's done something once. I have.

And -- but, I mean, that's just --

McCORD: And when does it
simply become harassment?

IMUS: I didn't -- yes, exactly. They
shoot blacks for no reason. We know about that in New York City. I mean, we already understand
all this.

So -- and that, in light of -- I'm thinking, this
current edition of the Imus in the
Morning program,
in which -- I guess if you can't see it on RFDTV,
you don't know, but the producer of the Imus
in the Morning
program, Tom Bowman, is black. Two of the co-hosts, the cast members of the
program are black -- Karith Foster and Tony Powell.

How insane would I have to be? What
would I be thinking -- what would I mean -- why would I sit here and say -- "Oh, yeah. There
you go." I mean,
how does anyone -- how does anybody -- how do you get -- make that connection?

McCORD: I don't know. And
particularly now --

IMUS: I mean --

McCORD: -- after the
past nearly year. My God.

IMUS: So, I mean, nobody has -- no
white man with a radio or television program has done -- has had more
discussions about race relations since December 3rd than I have. It was with
Louise Patterson, and
Jesse Jackson, Dr. Peter Gomes,
and Dr. Debra Dickerson, Dick Gregory, Carl Jeffers. I mean --

McCORD: May I point out --

IMUS: You know, Karith Foster, Tony Powell. I mean, we talk about
it all the time.

McCORD: Which is precisely what you
said would be the thrust of this program.

IMUS: I mean, why not report on
that?

McCORD: I don't know. Jesus.

IMUS: I mean, I know there's some
people want to get me. But this -- you're not going to get me for -- this is
ridiculous.

WOLF: You know
what it reminded me of, I-Man? It's like Joe McCarthy, the 1950s witch
hunt.

McCORD: It really is.

WARNER: I mean, they're looking for something, and there's nothing
there.

IMUS: I mean, it's -- I mean, you know, play
the tape, Lou [Rufino, sound
engineer].

[...]

IMUS: Well, that's the tape. My point was that
there's no reason to arrest this kid six times. He's a football player.
He's a lovely
kid. He's out having fun. He doesn't need to be arrested six -- he gets arrested times.
Well, we know why he
gets arrested six times.

McCORD: Which was your point.

IMUS: That was my
point.

McGUIRK: That was clear.

McCORD: Yes, it was. To anybody who wanted to hear it.

WOLF: I think there's also
another side. Many times during the show,
whether it's an athlete or a politician, when a guy is obviously in the
wrong -- let's
say, like Cedric
Benson, arrested for drinking,
driving a boat, driving a car, we
know he's wrong -- and
you'll jokingly say,
"Well, it must be racism." I mean, yeah. [laughing]

IMUS: Well, yeah,
I mean, it's --

WOLF: I mean, it's a joke. Yeah.

IMUS: I mean, Karith Foster -- Karith said to me -- what were you talking about? You
got fired at The
View?

FOSTER: Oh, yeah, yeah. We
were talking about that.

IMUS: And what did I say?

FOSTER: And you go, "Clearly, it was because you're black." Like -- which is so obviously not the case and sarcasm and -- but that's it. A lot of folks don't get sarcasm.

WOLF: They don't get it. 

FOSTER: That's -- it's unfortunate, but that's -- they
don't get it.

McCORD: But this case was clear. It
never entered my mind anything else was intended by that remark. It was clear. This is the reason why he has been
arrested a half-dozen times.

[...]

[This
portion of Imus in the Morning is
not broadcast on television]

IMUS: So, Warner, you're going to do sports in a
little bit here.

WOLF: Yes, I will.

IMUS: How great is this going to be, though?

WOLF: I just
wanted to -- if I may
just butt in here -- and
just one more thing, not to be redundant, but -- 

IMUS: By the way, Warner, you are a first-class person.

WOLF: Oh. That's
very nice of you.

IMUS: Anyway, go ahead.

WOLF: Well, I was just going to say -- something -- people made something out of nothing here.
And it really is -- you know, it's like -- it's disappointing, because we are part of a media. But
anybody that listens to the
show knows that whether it's a politician or an athlete or anyone,
someone who's obviously guilty, you joke and say, "Well, it must have been racism." I mean, it's a joke.

I mean, we all know
that "Pacman" is no model citizen. The guy's been arrested and suspended. So it's a joke. You
say, "Well, it must be racism." It's like Cedric
Benson. Guy's suspended, in
fact, released by the
Bears. Intoxicated while driving a boat, intoxicated while driving. And you say, "Well, he was released? Must
be racism." It's a joke. I mean --

IMUS: Well, it's trying to make a point, which is --

WOLF: Yes.

IMUS: Yeah.

WOLF: I can't --

IMUS: Well, I -- but Dick Gregory had good
point, too, I thought, a great point. And that was, you're going to be held accountable
--

McCORD: Yep.

IMUS: -- for past
sins, and I don't
have a big problem with that,
because I go back to what I said initially about the Rutgers
comment. Don't say stuff like that. And
so -- and that was the
reason I ever offered any lame excuse for it.
Don't make fun of innocent people and say stuff that's not true and
that is mean-spirited. And
if you do, apologize for it, ask forgiveness, and move on. And
don't do it again. Which I don't intend to do. So. This is --

POWELL: The point is, you should be
held accountable for things when you do sin, but if you have not sinned, then they should not be held accountable for
not having done anything wrong.
I think that -- that's
also true. 

IMUS: Now it's Reverend Tony
Powell.

McCORD: Amen.

[crosstalk]

FOSTER: Amen to that.

IMUS: I love that.

It's 11 after the hour. Speaking of all that, please welcome -- well, not all that. Please
welcome to the Imus in the Morning
program Hulk Hogan. Good morning, Mr. Hogan. </description>

Louise Patterson, and
Jesse Jackson, Dr. Peter Gomes,
and Dr. Debra Dickerson, Dick Gregory, Carl Jeffers. I mean --

McCORD: May I point out --

IMUS: You know, Karith Foster, Tony Powell. I mean, we talk about
it all the time.

McCORD: Which is precisely what you
said would be the thrust of this program.

IMUS: I mean, why not report on
that?

McCORD: I don't know. Jesus.

IMUS: I mean, I know there's some
people want to get me. But this -- you're not going to get me for -- this is
ridiculous.

WOLF: You know
what it reminded me of, I-Man? It's like Joe McCarthy, the 1950s witch
hunt.

McCORD: It really is.

WARNER: I mean, they're looking for something, and there's nothing
there.

IMUS: I mean, it's -- I mean, you know, play
the tape, Lou [Rufino, sound
engineer].

[...]

IMUS: Well, that's the tape. My point was that
there's no reason to arrest this kid six times. He's a football player.
He's a lovely
kid. He's out having fun. He doesn't need to be arrested six -- he gets arrested times.
Well, we know why he
gets arrested six times.

McCORD: Which was your point.

IMUS: That was my
point.

McGUIRK: That was clear.

McCORD: Yes, it was. To anybody who wanted to hear it.

WOLF: I think there's also
another side. Many times during the show,
whether it's an athlete or a politician, when a guy is obviously in the
wrong -- let's
say, like Cedric
Benson, arrested for drinking,
driving a boat, driving a car, we
know he's wrong -- and
you'll jokingly say,
"Well, it must be racism." I mean, yeah. [laughing]

IMUS: Well, yeah,
I mean, it's --

WOLF: I mean, it's a joke. Yeah.

IMUS: I mean, Karith Foster -- Karith said to me -- what were you talking about? You
got fired at The
View?

FOSTER: Oh, yeah, yeah. We
were talking about that.

IMUS: And what did I say?

FOSTER: And you go, "Clearly, it was because you're black." Like -- which is so obviously not the case and sarcasm and -- but that's it. A lot of folks don't get sarcasm.

WOLF: They don't get it. 

FOSTER: That's -- it's unfortunate, but that's -- they
don't get it.

McCORD: But this case was clear. It
never entered my mind anything else was intended by that remark. It was clear. This is the reason why he has been
arrested a half-dozen times.

[...]

[This
portion of Imus in the Morning is
not broadcast on television]

IMUS: So, Warner, you're going to do sports in a
little bit here.

WOLF: Yes, I will.

IMUS: How great is this going to be, though?

WOLF: I just
wanted to -- if I may
just butt in here -- and
just one more thing, not to be redundant, but -- 

IMUS: By the way, Warner, you are a first-class person.

WOLF: Oh. That's
very nice of you.

IMUS: Anyway, go ahead.

WOLF: Well, I was just going to say -- something -- people made something out of nothing here.
And it really is -- you know, it's like -- it's disappointing, because we are part of a media. But
anybody that listens to the
show knows that whether it's a politician or an athlete or anyone,
someone who's obviously guilty, you joke and say, "Well, it must have been racism." I mean, it's a joke.

I mean, we all know
that "Pacman" is no model citizen. The guy's been arrested and suspended. So it's a joke. You
say, "Well, it must be racism." It's like Cedric
Benson. Guy's suspended, in
fact, released by the
Bears. Intoxicated while driving a boat, intoxicated while driving. And you say, "Well, he was released? Must
be racism." It's a joke. I mean --

IMUS: Well, it's trying to make a point, which is --

WOLF: Yes.

IMUS: Yeah.

WOLF: I can't --

IMUS: Well, I -- but Dick Gregory had good
point, too, I thought, a great point. And that was, you're going to be held accountable
--

McCORD: Yep.

IMUS: -- for past
sins, and I don't
have a big problem with that,
because I go back to what I said initially about the Rutgers
comment. Don't say stuff like that. And
so -- and that was the
reason I ever offered any lame excuse for it.
Don't make fun of innocent people and say stuff that's not true and
that is mean-spirited. And
if you do, apologize for it, ask forgiveness, and move on. And
don't do it again. Which I don't intend to do. So. This is --

POWELL: The point is, you should be
held accountable for things when you do sin, but if you have not sinned, then they should not be held accountable for
not having done anything wrong.
I think that -- that's
also true. 

IMUS: Now it's Reverend Tony
Powell.

McCORD: Amen.

[crosstalk]

FOSTER: Amen to that.

IMUS: I love that.

It's 11 after the hour. Speaking of all that, please welcome -- well, not all that. Please
welcome to the Imus in the Morning
program Hulk Hogan. Good morning, Mr. Hogan. <blockquote style="background:#FAFAFA;border:1px dotted #E6E6E6;font:italic 10pt Times New Roman;padding:9px;">Media Matters - WABC* says Imus&#39; explanation of controversial comments "makes sense" -- then why did Warner Wolf give a different one? {...} On his radio show, host Don Imus explained controversial comments he&#39;d made the previous day about Adam "Pacman" Jones, who, it was noted, is African American, by asserting, "My point was that there&#39;s no reason to arrest this kid six times. He&#39;s a football player. He&#39;s a lovely kid. He&#39;s out having fun. He doesn&#39;t need to be arrested six -- he gets arrested times. Well, we know why he gets arrested six times." But, sportscaster Warner Wolf, who was part of both conversations, offered a different explanation: "[A]nybody that listens to the show knows that whether it&#39;s a politician or an athlete or anyone, someone who&#39;s obviously guilty, you joke and say, &#39;Well, it must have been racism.&#39; I mean, it&#39;s a joke. I mean, we all know that &#39;Pacman&#39; is no model citizen. The guy&#39;s been arrested and suspended. So it&#39;s a joke." Notwithstanding the apparent conflict in their explanations, WABC&#39;s* Phil Boyce reportedly said of Imus&#39; explanation: "When I first heard the comment I thought that&#39;s probably what he meant, but I called him and he explained and it made sense to me. I said, &#39;Let&#39;s make sure you explain it the next time you&#39;re on the air,&#39; and he did a very good job."   {...}</blockquote><div style="font:8pt Verdana,Arial;vertical-align:top;"><span style="color:#808080;">Published:</span> June 25, 2008, 7:59 pm - <span style="color:#808080;">Indexed:</span> June 26, 2008, 9:58 am - <span style="color:#808080;">Page Size:</span>&nbsp;31KB</div><div style="font:8pt Verdana,Arial;vertical-align:top;"><span style="color:#808080;">Category:</span> <a href="http://www.world-of-newave.info/society/">Society</a> &gt; <a href="http://www.world-of-newave.info/society/issues/">Issues</a> &gt; <a href="http://www.world-of-newave.info/society/issues/business/">Business</a> &gt; <a href="http://www.world-of-newave.info/society/issues/business/media/">Media</a> &gt;  <a href="http://www.world-of-newave.info/society/issues/business/media/bias-and-balance/"><b>Bias and Balance</b></a></div></td></tr></table>
