Do you have a problem with Bill Cosby using the term "black media"?

Are there not media outlets that specialize in being "black voices" that are supposedly in such short supply in the media?

I have no problem with the term. Certain posters, no matter how much I respect them, lead me to be suspicious of what they're trying to say.

Me? I don't think I was hiding anything. Fathers matter.

I never said they didn't. My father raised me.

My issue was what I assumed you meant by "black paper". I thought you were using it as a slight.

I didn't have any such intentions.

I apologize, but--from posting on this board--it's usually a safe assumption to make.

By blacks, for blacks.

What do the white newspapers say?

There aren't any. They're geared towards all races.

Not really. I can have a normal conversation, skip walking on eggshells, and get busted down for being racist. It doesn't even make sense.
