1. Good Reply Keith!

Big deal, so they have like, five or six people of color on their steering committee? I didn't see one Asian face there. Could it be, that we are too smart to be involved with their brand of politics? Besides, I am still betting, that their TEA sucks.

2. EXACTLY KO

Iys NOT that they aren't there it is THE AMOUNT as you said. You never said NO people of color but the AMOUNT of color. Not to mention this isn't about MSNBC but about YOU Dallas Teabaggers (lol). YOU are the ones claiming diversity so you show what? SIX PEOPLE!! Wow I'm impressed.

3. Think that's bad? Know how much diversity there is in Dallas?

Non-Hispanic Caucasians make up only 31% of the population. With the remainder being people of color, it's a jaw dropper that they even think for a minute that a sprinkling of pepper in the salt will make it all look more diversified. Like I said in the post Keith is responding to, my financial future is secure renting my self out to Teabagging parties as a brown person.

4. The KKK doesn't have a whole lot of diversity either.

If a spokesperson from the KKK said, "Hey you have only white people on MSNBC" and even if it were true, it would change what the KKK is. I realize that this is an unfair comparison to the KKK because, well the KKK is not claiming diversity unlike the Tea Baggers, but the end result is pretty much the same.

5. holy crap, I'm agreeing with the dallas teabaggers. ALL of the commentators

on msnbc who have their own shows are white. I'm not talking about news casters or reporters. They really should consider diversity. I have had the same complaint about air america radio ( they had 1 or 2 but it was very limited). This is the same with the network that has Stephanie Miller, Ed Shultz, Norman Goldman and Bill Press, no people of color. My local progressive radio station has no people of color here in Chicago for their national OR local shows and we are a VERY diverse city. It's wrong.

BTW I've made similar posts over the years. Nothing personal against Olbermann. I just don't agree with him.

6. There is much more diversity on NBC MS/NBC than at any teabagging event.

Maybe black folks don't want to be brain teabagged by a bunch loudmouthed confused shit heads. The problem is not how many blacks with thier own shows there are because how many shows are there anyway? How many blacks got thier own shows on FOX????????? But if you claim to represent ALL Americans, shouldn't thier be a mix of Americans in your group of concerned Americans????
