Rapper Chinx Passed Away!

Chinx (left) was gunned down. French Montana (right) was shocked and sadden by the lost of his friend.

A rapper who is affiliated with French Montana was gunned down over the weekend.

World News Today send our condolences to the family Chinx.

Born Lionel Pickens he was best known for collaborations with French and many other rappers was shot and killed in Jamaica, Queens, New York. He was in a car when he was caught off guard by the gunfire from an unknown assailant.

Chinx (Drugz) was the rapper who made the song "I'm A Coke Boy" with French Montana, Rick Ross and Sean "Puffy" Combs.

French Montana is an artist who appears on Interscope Records and is affiliated with Bad Boy Records and Maybach Music Group launched Coke Boyz Music and signed Chinx in 2012.

NYPD is looking into connections.

Prince Charming Baltimore!

Prince performs at Baltimore. Conservative outrage over Marilyn Mosby attending the event.

When Prince came to perform for Baltimore he released a song in tribute to Michael Brown and Freddie Gray.

The song was leaked online and it's called "Baltimore".



As Prince performed for three hours at a sold out show, one guest managed to catch the ire of conservatives and the Baltimore police union.

In attendance is Marilyn Mosby, the state prosecutor in the case against six Baltimore cops who were charged in the murder of Freddie Gray.

While the junk food media went up Interstate 95 to cover the derailment in Philadelphia, the junk food media was silent (or barely covered) the Baltimore state prosecutor taking stage at a concert.

It's nothing bad about her appearing on stage. But to the racist right and the police union, it's a conflict of interest. They are calling for her to recuse herself and have an independent prosecutor look into this. They are also demanding that she gets ethics charges for appearing at the concert.

They seriously believe that Mosby is inexperienced. They feel that she's playing politics. Despite the already numerous federal investigations into the city police and the millions of payouts to victims of police brutality, this Freddie Gray situation is different.

If it wasn't for them cameras filming the officers lift up Gray and drag him to the vehicle while he was screaming in agonizing pain, they would have gotten away with a disciplinary or no charges at all.

Mosby found enough evidence to charge the six officers with involuntary manslaughter and misconduct in office. They had enough evidence to charge the officers. They will have a day in court.

They are innocent until proven guilty.

The racist right is angry at Marilyn Mosby.

The murder of Freddie Gray set off two days of rioting in the city.

Of course the networks were running with cameras in tow trying show the world that young Black teens are looting the Foot Locker for Nike's. Or the Black man stealing a 40 out of the CVS. Maybe they managed to witness two correction officers stealing a bag of chips and grape juice.

Conservative agitators take to the internet to slam Mosby, the mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake, Rev. Perm, Cut His Nuts Off Jackson, Eric Holder, Attorney General Loretta Lynch, and their favorite son President Barack Obama as being racial agitators and NIGGERS.

I bet them white extremists were seething in joy watching Black frustration in the matter of injustice launch into violence.

Knowing the Republican Party and its allies in the conservative movement are color blind and tone deaf is understatement.

O'Loofus complains about Baltimore having a high crime rate. Yet, he never thinks about taking his private jet down to the city. He never will visit a neighborhood and interact with the residents in Baltimore. In his mind as well as many other agitators in the media, the city is an American Benghazi. 

But to see the Democratic Party use this as a weapon is also a disgrace. They seem to take advantage of these issues to encourage Black America to rise up against injustice.

In the minds of Republicans, the Democrats are the ones who keep Blacks poor. I agree. But not the way the Republican Party sees it.

No one wants to see people live in poverty. At least in my opinion, no political party owns "poor", "poverty" and "welfare".

Once again, I stress that Republicans are condescending. They don't see the poor as victims. They see them as lazy, immoral, leeches and handouts. They believe just because you have a microwave, a refrigerator, a television, a computer and a cell phone, you are able to work. They don't know the poor's struggle. They can't understand that people who have things have earned them too.

Angry Megyn saying that Marilyn Mosby attending a Prince concert was inappropriate.

They see you in the store with an EBT card or state issued child support debit card buying groceries and some items maybe name brands. They believe if you're buying a pack of Oreos. Fruit Loops,  and Coca-Cola 36 cubes on food stamps, you're abusing the system.

You're buying a pack of Newport or Marlboro cigarettes or an Ol' English. And even though you got a little bit of cash, the moment they see that EBT card, they consider you leeching off the system.

They believe that you own a luxury car or a nice home, but still earn less than a "hard worker", you're a parasite to the government.

That narrative being express by agitators makes Republicans look like heartless assholes.

The Democrats believe the safety net is unfiltered. No one should go hungry. No one should live on the streets or homeless shelters.

The Republicans believe that the safety net creates entitlements and dependency. And even though, in their minds, giving to the poor is going overboard, they too believe that no one should go hungry. They believe you have to work 50 hours at least earn a piece of that apple pie.

See in a perfect world, you should have a home. If there's some who are of the working class unable to work, they should be able to own a house and luxuries of a single family home. Why have a family lives on the streets? It should be right not a privilege to have a home.

No one wants to see their child buried before them. The families of Trayvon Martin, Rekia Boyd, John Crawford, Michael Brown, Tony Robinson, Darrien Hunt, and Eric Garner  weren't thrilled about their deaths.

They have a right to complain about issues of police brutality, the Blue Wall of Silence, and the need for reform. When the junk food media gets the names of the victims of gun violence (especially by law enforcement) it's almost routine to hear about the race. If the victim is Black, the conservative agitators immediately start searching court public records and social media to find something incriminating. They find guilt-by-association in the friends, immediate family members or non-essential figures. Conservatives will label the victim a "thug" or call him "Obama's son".

It never ceases to amaze me that a man smoking weed is more criminal than an officer putting a bullet in him. And to make this clear, that man was unarmed at the time.

The families deserve the right to see those in law enforcement (or an armed vigilante) be held responsible whenever they fire their service weapon. And if the suspect is unarmed, the families have a right to demand an officer be charged with criminal misconduct.

But unfortunately with the first Black president, the conservatives who agitate on radio, television and the social media are polarizing it to a degree where anything that involves race is magnified.

You may not be able to obtain Prince's new song on YouTube. He doesn't advocate video streaming or use of music without permission. Anytime, you upload a video or download illegally a song from Prince, you may be subject to a lawsuit. 

He doesn't play any games when it comes to his copyright.

So if you want to hear the song, hear it on Soundcloud or buy it on iTunes and Google Play. 

Ringside Romney!

Evander Holyfield decides to make a man out of perennial loser Mitt Romney.

He may be a perennial failure for political office, but during his downtime Mitt Romney decides to take on a new hobby, boxing.

For a charity, perennial loser Mitt Romney takes on Evander Holyfield. They were raising cash for CharityVision, a group that helps children with vision and lost of sight.

Holyfield didn't go soft on Romney. The perennial loser can add another notch to his belt of failure.

Romney lasted only two rounds.

But on the bright side, Holyfield won.

So in regards to the perennial loser's record

1W - 4L

1 win as a state governor, 1 lost as a U.S. Senate nominee, 1 lost as a Republican candidate, 1 lost as a Republican presidential nominee, and 1 lost as a boxer.

Cops Could Face A Cannon Firing For Sharing Racist Emails!

This was a shared email. Black monopoly.

The sharing of right wing emails lands some Miami Beach cops in hot water. They were caught sharing this crude email.

Some of these came from these websites that are never going to be mentioned here.

This is not the first time they've been in trouble for this type of behavior.

Wonder if pro-cop conservatives such as that annoying conservative agitator on that network that scares white folks covering this?

Is this a matter of thugs doing criminal acts or sharing anti-Black rhetoric?

What makes this worse, is the chief of Miami Beach police is new to the job but not familiar with his force and their behavior on and off the job.

Miami New Times reports Chief Dan Oates continues his very public effort to clean up the department. Oates was joined by City Manager Jimmy Morales and State Attorney Katherine Fernandez Rundle this afternoon to announce an investigation into officers who sent 540 racist, sexist, homophobic and other inappropriate and unprofessional texts and e-mails.

Now if you considered this a joke, the civil rights leaders and the Florida state attorney find it applauding and wants those involved to be disciplined or fired out the cannon.

Here's some more "jokes".

  m Bpd Racist Emails

One active worker was fired out the cannon this week. Alex Carulo was a Miami Beach captain who admitted to his share of sending jokes.

Reitred major Angel Vazquez is the alleged ringleader. He was sending not only the jokes but some of his boners. He was posing with some Brazilian girls and send a picture of a cop kill.

The Miami Beach police doing damage control after a handful of cops were caught sharing racist emails.

What gets him in the most trouble is the cop kill. Against rules he sent a picture of Raymond Herisse, a man who got a shower of service fire.

Also some of these jokes aimed at President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama.

This is an example of the stuff that is collected on Myrightwingdad.net.

The website is devoted to tracking your conservative friend's mean tweets, jokes, and pictures.

Weeper Boehner Still Acting Like A Scarecrow Without A Brain!

Don't ask Weeper Boehner (R-OH) for help. He tells the junk food media that the conductor was going too damn fast.

The tragedy in Philadelphia. I've ignored it for a moment. I wanted to get my facts right before I go into this story. I want to be clear that the train conductor is under investigation and he's lawyer up.

The controversy is whether a Washington-New York bound Amtrak train was going too damn fast around a curb or the issue regarding faulty infrastructure.

World News Today sends our condolences to the families lost in this horrible tragedy.

We got this foolish Weeper. Congressman John Boehner (R-OH) is the most dumbest or just legally incompetent lawmaker to ever hold leadership. This man is such a diva.

With the body count standing at eight with nearly 80 injured badly, the Congress is full steam ahead on issues that matter. Late term abortion, repealing Obamacare, passing legislation to repeal Dodd-Frank, and trying to meddle in the Iranian nuclear deal.

They have nothing on the table when it comes to jobs, education, infrastructure repair and unemployment benefits. Oh, them's entitlements, right?

Boehner during a press conference went off on a reporter after she questioned the Republican budget bill that required major cuts to Amtrak.

Boehner shot back.



This is the guy who believes President Barack Obama is arrogant.

Look in the mirror and don't cry when you see yourself.

The NTSB and Pennsylvania state police are investigating the tracks, the conductor and the reason to why the train derailed.

BREAKING: B.B. King Passes Away!

The news is confirmed that Blues legend B.B. King has passed away. He was interned into hospice a few weeks ago. He was suffering from heart failure and type II diabetes.


His family and management team have confirmed that he passed away tonight.

The remaining tours were cancelled upon hearing the Blues legend was admitted to the hospital.

No word from the White House yet, but expect it.

World News Today send our condolences to the family of B.B. King.

Brief summary from Wikipedia.

 B.B. King (born Riley B. King) was an American blues musician, singer, songwriter, and guitarist.

Rolling Stone magazine ranked him at No. 6 on its 2011 list of the 100 greatest guitarists of all time (previously ranked No. 3 in the 2003 edition of the same list), and he was ranked No. 17 in Gibson's "Top 50 Guitarists of All Time".

According to Edward M. Komara, King "introduced a sophisticated style of soloing based on fluid string bending and shimmering vibrato that would influence virtually every electric blues guitarist that followed."

King was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1987. King was also inducted into 2014 class of the R&B Music Hall of Fame. He is considered one of the most influential blues musicians of all time, earning the nickname "The King of Blues", and one of the "Three Kings of the Blues Guitar" (along with Albert King and Freddie King).

Godfather of Soul and the King of the Blues.

King is also known for performing tirelessly throughout his musical career, appearing at 250–300 concerts per year until his seventies. In 1956 it was noted that he appeared at 342 shows. King continued to appear at 100 shows a year through the end of his career.

Over the years, King has developed one of the world's most identifiable guitar styles. He borrowed from Blind Lemon Jefferson, T-Bone Walker and others, integrating his precise and complex vocal-like string bends and his left hand vibrato, both of which have become indispensable components of rock guitarists' vocabulary. His economy and phrasing has been a model for thousands of players.

King has mixed blues, jazz, swing, mainstream pop and jump into a unique sound. In King's words,

"When I sing, I play in my mind; the minute I stop singing orally, I start to sing by playing Lucille."

Georgia Principal Fired Out The Cannon After Tossing A Racial Insult!

The principal of a school in Georgia got fired out the cannon after she was recorded making a racial insult.

Now I see "all the Black people" are leaving.

Oh, damn, I'm leaving too....!

The words of a former Georgia principal after she made an outright snark at attendees at a commencement speech. She screwed up on the scheduling and told the audience to wait until a valedictorian spoke.

People were exiting the auditorium. She went off and it was recorded on camera.

“You people are being so rude to not listen to this speech,” Nancy Gordeuk told the crowd. “It was my fault that we missed it in the program. Look who’s leaving — all the black people.”

Gordeuk apologized for her comments over the weekend, claiming the “devil was in the house.” However, on Monday, she defended them and said she wasn't racist.

Look who's leaving, all the Black people!

“People always think the worst,” Gordeuk said. “You know, oh you say the word 'black,' you know, was I supposed to say ‘African American?’ Were they all born in Africa? No, they’re Americans. And, they live here. And, but just, I’m not a racist. People that know me, I've worked with disadvantaged kids like this that couldn't get through school, we help them get a high school diploma.”

It drove all the attendees to bounce. She told the junk food media that she screwed up and it lead to her getting her share of death threats and ridicule.

Nancy Gorduek was fired out the cannon after days of discussion. That discussion led to the board of directors at TNT Academy in Stone Mountain decided that it was way worse than expected.

Harry Shearer Quits The Simpsons!

Three central characters from The Simpsons. Flanders, Mr. Burns and Principal Skinner. They were voiced by comedian/talk radio host Harry Shearer. He announced on social media that he's bouncing from the show.

This comes as a major blow to the long running animated sitcom.

Harry Shearer, the voice of twelve central characters on The Simpsons announced that he's departing before the next season.Show producer Al Jean stated that they're working on solutions to this. But if Harry doesn't want to continue, they press on.

The remaining cast signed on for extended contracts that continue them into Season 29.

Dan Castellaneta (Homer, Krusty the Clown, Kudos and others)
Julie Kavner (Marge, Patti and Selma)
Nancy Cartwright (Bart, Nelson, Ralph and Maggie)
Yeardley Smith (Lisa)
Hank Azaria (Apu, Chief Wiggim, Moe, Karl and others)

Harry is best known for playing Flanders, Mr. Burns, Smithers, Rainier Wolfcastle, Kent Brockman, Scratchy, Dr. Hibbert, Lenny, Otto, Rev. Lovejoy, alien Kane and Principal Seymour Skinner.

With Harry stepping down, it may have imploded The Simpsons.

Fox greenlights The Simpsons for two more seasons. The sitcom established in 1987 has been a focal for the struggling Fox network. This along with Family Guy, Bob's Burgers and the now cancelled Animation Domination Saturday were the only animated shows on a major network.

These are adult cartoons. You can't forget that.

Harry Shearer contributes to The Simpsons, The Huffington Post and hosts Le Show.

But they have a strong following among young and old. Back in the 1990s the George H.W. Bush years, The Simpsons were target one for the Family Research Council, Bill Cosby, Tipper Gore and C. Delores Tucker. Many criticized the focal characters Homer and Bart as bad role models to the American family.

The Simpsons survived 573 episodes. The sitcom has nosedive throughout the years. When it was introduced in 1987 it started with a mere 2 million viewers. Then they moved it to Thursday at 8pm. During the 1988 to 1996 years The Simpsons seen its ratings in the 12 millions.

Since the movie, the sitcom has declined in quality and often times have become repetitive and boring. Even I must admit some of the episodes were sleepers (i.e. boring).

Harry Shearer is also a contributor to The Huffington Post and is the host of Le Show, a political talk and satire program. He is a comedian, musician, author, and jack of all trades.

He was the co-writer and producer of cult rock comedy This is Spinal Tap.

The central figure of many characters of The Simpsons is leaving. Harry Shearer departure hits the long running sitcom. 

Fox continues with Empire, New Girl, Bones, Gotham, Family Guy, Bob's Burgers, Last Man on Earth, Brooklyn Nine-Nine, and Sleepy Hollow.

American Idol will end after Season 16. Glee ends gracefully.

Weird Loners, Backstrom, The Following, Red Band Society, Mulaney, Utopia were cut from the list.

It's coming to an end for the world's longest running animated sitcom.

Do you believe that Harry's departure will certainly end the sitcom?

Here's one from Hulu/YouTube. The Tree House of Terror episode where Skinner is planning on eating Bart and Lisa.

Cop In The Tony Robinson Shooting Walks!

The cop's excuse for killing an unarmed man is the fact he was high on the "shrooms". The cop who killed Tony Robinson walks and the family gets no closure.

Cue Fred 101.....

He and many of our friends on the racist right will automatically assume that because Tony was on drugs, had a few run-ins with law enforcement and the cop used "proper" judgement, he deserved to die.

The Dane County state prosecutor stated that the officer who shot and killed Tony Robinson acted in self-defense and is not going to be charged.

Madison cop Matt Kenny shot and killed unarmed Tony Robinson in March.

As usual the cops release a statement to why they used deadly force on the suspect. Robinson who did have a share of minor run ins got taken to the cleaners by the racist right.

After all a few minor misdemeanors is like him robbing a bank and taking hostages.

Tony Robinson's death touched the nation.

The Huffington Post reports Kenny shot the 19-year-old inside an apartment near the Wisconsin state Capitol on March 6. Police said the officer was responding to calls that the biracial teen was running in and out of traffic, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports. According to Dane County district attorney Ismael Ozanne, Kenny said Robinson struck him on the side of his head and knocked him into the wall. Police also said they later received reports alleging that Robinson had assaulted two other people.

No charges for Matt Kenny, officer who shot Tony.

Ozanne said that marijuana, Xanax and psychedelic mushrooms were found in Robinson's system.

Shortly after the district attorney’s announcement, the Wisconsin Department of Justice released its report, which similarly suggested that Robinson’s allegedly erratic behavior could be explained by the use of ‘shrooms.


Shortly after the district attorney’s announcement, the Wisconsin Department of Justice released its report, which similarly suggested that Robinson’s allegedly erratic behavior could be explained by the use of ‘shrooms.

Robinson's death sparked protests in Madison, and hundreds of people attended his funeral in mid-March.

On Tuesday, Chris Ahmuty, executive director of the American Civil Liberties Union of Wisconsin, criticized the decision not to file charges as leaving a "cloud of uncertainty" over the circumstances of and responsibility for Robinson's death.

"If Officer Kenny did not violate the law, then is anyone legally responsible for Mr. Robinson's death?" Ahmuty said in a statement. "Does the criminal law protect individuals like Mr. Robinson from deadly force exercised by police officers? Are police officers above the law?"

Ahmuty also called for greater transparency from the police. "Furthermore, what will the Madison Police Department do to ensure that Madison police officers stop killing unarmed individuals, when they have killed three people in the past 11 months? The MPD needs to find ways to hold officers accountable, so that they will know there will be consequences for their actions," he said.

Okay, where's that jackass Milwaukee sheriff David Clark?

I bet you money the sheriff has something to say about Tony Robinson. I bet Clark will call him a "no good punk" and the Black community needs to shut the "well you know" up.

Another sad day in America.

Where's the body cameras?

black-ish Takes On Black Republicans!

black-ish deals with a family member coming out as a Republican.

ABC sitcom featuring Anthony Anderson and Tracee Ellis Ross takes on Black conservatism.

black-ish is a go for a second season. The show is one of the very few Black sitcoms on right now.

It was created by Anderson, Kenya Barris, Laurence Fishburne and Larry Wilmore.

black-ish, Fresh off the Boat and Cristela were ABC freshman sitcoms that featured a diverse family.

In the end, two survived the cut. Cristela was cancelled.

black-ish is still strong despite a slight drop in ratings. Mostly due to the Fox juggernaut Empire hitting the 9pm spot. Modern Family and black-ish had strong lead ins before Empire took to the scene.

The cast of black-ish, a hit comedy on ABC.

In this episode, it certainly pokes fun at the Republican Party and Black conservatives. Even a jab at that cable news channel that scares White folks.

It also gives you an idea of Black voters and their support of the Democratic Party. The Republican Party still has trouble cracking over 20% of the vote. The party is struggling to pull in Black and Hispanic voters.

Stallmigos Ted Cruz (R-TX), Marco Rubio (R-FL) and Benjamin Carson are non-White candidates.

Louisiana governor Bobby Jindal may declare his intentions. Another non-White candidate.

Carly Fiorina is a woman. A woman who is running besides Hillary Clinton.

But yet, they're not even appealing to Black voters.

In the words of black-ish: Republicans! We Just Don't Do That!

Reason you may ask!

The Republican Party comes off as condescending assholes. They don't understand the struggle. Even though many Black Americans are struggling with jobs, education and a sense of pride, the Black community continues to put their trust in the Democratic Party. The Democrats believe in the middle class, fairness and a leg up. They encourage hard work for equal pay and time off.

Many believe that the rich should pay a little more in taxes because it's the driving factor to why the middle class is shrinking. That's probably why Obama mentioned this during his Georgetown University speech.

Dre and Bow meet Junior's girlfriend's parents. They find out they're Black Republicans.

Republicans can say that Obama hasn't done anything for Black America. They are right. I mean he's got the My Brother's Keeper policy and it's hardly being mentioned by the junk food media.

He's proposed many ideas that would certainly help the middle class. The minimum wage, fair labor practices, banning non-gender/sexuality/criminal history hiring policies and an infrastructure bill were on the docket.

This stuff is stalled with a Republican congress. They're too busy trying to ban late term abortion and allowing a Canadian conglomerate to build a pipeline through the Midwest.

Republicans will say Obama's doing too much for Black America whenever he speaks on issues facing Black America. And for the record, it's been going on for over 50 years, it doesn't seem like it's going to change in the seven years of Obama's presidency nor in the years to come.

The first thing that comes out of the mouth of a Republican is the past. They can't admit that the Democratic Party changed its ways. The political party nominated twice the first Black candidate for president.

Second, many successful and failed Democratic nominees pull over 90% of the Black vote.

Republicans make race an issue now that Barack Obama wanted to run. They believe that passing restrictive voting measures may prevent those from voting on race, gender, and political affiliations.

They believe that Blacks are committing voter fraud and the such.

Yeah, Blacks are proud that we got the first and we're not ashamed to vote for Obama.

Republicans offer nothing of interest to the Black community.

In the minds of most Republicans and conservatives, they see Black people as criminals, lazy, immoral and believe race is over in America. Conservatives expects us to owe them for 159 years of their past Republican policies. Note the Republicans of yesterday are the Democrats today. The Democrats of yesterday are the Republicans now.

The Republican Party is like cocaine. It's 90% WHITE 10% EVERYTHING else.

This episode, Elephant in the Room is dealing with Dre (Andre) and (Rainbow) Bow's oldest son Junior joining the Young Republicans club. This revelation shocks the family.

Junior joins a political party club because of his views on issues and he's trying to win affection from a hot girl who is a member. Dre and Bow meet Junior's new girl's family. And things gone terribly wrong.

Bumper Robinson plays a Black Republican father.

In a separate segment, oldest daughter Zoey gets a pair of glasses. And her younger siblings Jack and Diane hate the fact that she's getting more attention for wearing them.

It also features a clip of Real Time with Bill Maher.

The comedy series will rile up conservatives. Because of the liberal views of the characters and it certainly mocks Republicans notably Benjamin Carson, the only Black candidate so far running in the clown car.

The cast of black-ish was there for the White House Corespondents Dinner.

Mrs. Obama Speaks About Racism Toward Her.....

There's a mad-on resentment against Michelle Obama by white America.  Moreso than her husband.  They resent the fact that Mrs. Obama challenge the "aesthetic supremacy"  of white women and they resent that deeply. They feel that Mrs. Obama doesn't belong in the White House period.  White entitlement and supremacy knows no end.

Here's an article from Media Matters condemning Rush Limbaugh's slandering of First Lady Michelle Obama:
________________________________________________________________________________

Media Call Out Rush Limbaugh For Racially Charged Attacks On Michelle Obama

 By ALEXANDREA BOGUHN

The conservative radio host attacked Michelle Obama this week for her reference to racial disparities in access to education opportunities like museums during a speech at the April 30 dedication of the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York City. Obama praised the Whitney's inaugural exhibit for its attempt to capture the range of cultures that have contributed to American art and called it "particularly powerful for our young people" because it shows them that "their story is part of the American story, and that they deserve to be seen." Such engagement is important, Obama said, because "there are so many kids in this country who look at places like museums and concert halls and other cultural centers and they think to themselves, well, that's not a place for me, for someone who looks like me, for someone who comes from my neighborhood."

Limbaugh accused Obama of claiming "museums are for white people" and of using the speech to "widen the racial gap." Calling her an "angry First Lady" who wants to "rip this country apart," Rush went on to suggestthat black people simply didn't appreciate museums because they are "not in their cultural upbringing."

Media figures are now blasting Limbaugh for the racist attacks.

The Washington Post's Richard Cohen declared that Limbaugh criticized Obama "for the sin of being black." "The way he looks at it," Cohen wrote, "Obama is not entitled to her experiences, certainly not to talk about it," going on: "[J]ust as Eleanor Roosevelt articulated the experiences and plight of the poor as well as racial and ethnic minorities, so does Michelle Obama articulate the black experience. If that sometimes makes others uncomfortable, it damn well should."

Similarly, The New York Times' Charles Blow blasted Rush and explained how Obama's thoughts on the diversity of museum visitors "was right," pointing to a 2010 report by the Center for the Future of Museums that found "historic patterns of segregation and exclusion as one reason that fewer African-American families instill museum-going habits in their young children." Blow called out Limbaugh for trying to paint "the Obamas as failed racial messiahs at best, and active racial agitators at worst":

But for Limbaugh, this wasn't about museum attendance at all. It was simply another opportunity to excrete the tired banalities about the Obamas as failed racial messiahs at best, and active racial agitators at worst.

[...]

Obama's sin, using [Rush's] line of logic, is that he failed to undo the system of oppression that he had no hand in constructing. It is that 400 years of damage was not undone in two terms. It is that he didn't encourage silence about inequity so that its benefactors could enjoy the cumulative fruit of centuries of racial graft without current-day guilt.

They wanted some mythical receipt of satisfaction of the debt. Let bygones be bygones. All is forgotten and forgiven. Clean slate. Fresh start.

If only it were that simple. But it's not. This whole line of reasoning is racial claptrap.

Such increasing focus on Limbaugh's racially charged attacks coincides with growing advertising woes for the radio host, who has been seeing advertisers flee from his program since his multi-day attack on then-law student Sandra Fluke. Just last month, Emmis Communications announced it was dropping Limbaugh's broadcast from its WIBC lineup, which had aired the radio program for 22 years.
