Chapter I (con't) – Black Dudes Don't Surf

     You know what's funny? (That's funny "peculiar," not funny "ha-ha"). We have space ships and ray-beams and satellites and iPhones; and yet people are acting like it's some big deal that a person with skin darker than Northern Europeans is running for President. I mean, it's 2008, fer chrissakes! Once again; black is a color, not a "race."
   I mentioned in an earlier post that Obama was nominated because he is not what people think of when you say "black man." And that's OK, because Obama is not a black man. Nor is he "African-American." Barack Obama is multi-racial, a Child Of The Future.
    Racism prevents both the black and white communities from seeing the obvious: Natural Selection Rules. Obama has hit the genetic jackpot; reasonably good looks, intelligence, and apparent vim, vigor, and vitality. Exactly what the human species needs to advance into The Future, if there is to be one.....

I am writing from downtown San Francisco where I spent the day at the offices of LINK TV, preparing for some programs I am doing with them about my film IN DEBT WE TRUST and new Book PLUNDER and election protection issues, and at day’s end watching the Baraacuda the Repugs have picked for VEEP and to change the story line of the campaign and to make John McCain look relevant and to mobilize the Republican base and to give FOX some one new to rave about and to sense the fear and loathing in some Dem circles as they have to try to counter the opening of a whole new front in the political war.

Alternative Radio : Sut Jhally : How TV Exploits its Audience

http://www.alternativeradio.org/progr...

In a 1958 speech, legendary broadcast journalist Edward R. Murrow said about TV, "This instrument can teach, it can illuminate; yes, and even it can inspire. But it can do so only to the extent that humans are determined to use it to those ends. Otherwise, it is nothing but wires and lights in a box." Imagine if Murrow were around today with all talk shows full of hot air, vitriol and salaciousness. That box is a delivery system for media corporations to sell eyeballs, audiences, to other corporations called advertisers. That's the political economy of TV. Viewers are bombarded with ads wrapped around inane programming. The box has great potential as Murrow says, but it is barely approaching it. TV is more of a device to get people to buy things they don't really need.
