Black bloggers and journalist pressure Dr. Laura Schlessinger to resign

Hat Tip to all the influential black bloggers, black organizations, and citizen journalist who posted, wrote, placed, and continue to place, collective pressure on sponsors of radio talk show hosts like Glen Beck and the Dr. of Hate, Dr. Laura Schlessinger.

The Hate Dr. "Laura Schlessinger"

Maybe she will get a facelift or some botox like so many hateful witches do. 

As reported by The Washington Post, bloggers and other news outlets, this bigoted witch, Dr. Laura Schlessinger, told  CNN's Larry King that she will not renew her contract, which is up at the end of the year. 

RIGHT! The only one that approves of your colored aroused bigotry is Sarah Palin.

 "I have made the decision not to do radio anymore," Schlessinger said. "The reason is, I want to regain my First Amendment rights. I want to be able to say what is on my mind."

The bigoted, and color aroused talk show host has been under fire for repeatedly using a racial epithet on a recent segment of her show. 

"I am not retiring," she said. "I am not quitting. I feel energized." 

"I want to be able to say what's on my mind and in my heart and what I think is helpful and useful without somebody getting angry or some special interest group deciding this is a time to silence a voice of dissent."


So.... She wants to be able to say, Nigger, Nigger, Nigger, Nigger, Nigger, Nigger, as a voice of dissent?  What a evil witch. She still does not get it.

AAPP: "What a liar that evil witch is. Her sponsors knew it was time to ditch her. Good night Dr. Laura Schlessinger."

Now we learn the Dr. of Hate has posted on her website, another apology, saying that "I made the promise that it will never happen again." But she complained of receiving "hate-filled diatribes" and reflected on how society has changed. What the hell, now she is complaining about "hate-filled diatribes." 

Great twist attempt Dr. Hate, great twist, but no one is hearing your twist of hate." 


I agree with blogger, Janet Shan at black political thought who writes, "The reality is that Dr. Laura shouldn't be the only one thrown under a bus for using the N-word. Neither blacks, whites or Latinos should use the word."  Check out Brother RiPPa who is on point.


The Christian Progressive Liberal over at Jack and Jill Politics is on point as well. Good work black bloggers and progressive bloggers. 

Note: Some are saying that boycotts have little negative impact on programs like Glen Beck with: ratings for the controversial show having never been higher. Get this, advertisers who are “boycotting” the show have only moved their ads to other Fox programs. 

Now it's time to get the afrospear bloggers group more active again, in this and many other issues.

Should a mosque be placed at ground zero?

It's a simple question;  Should a mosque be placed at NY's ground zero? 



As a someone who was born in NY I say NO!

But not for the same reasons as some...



We know how President Obama feels, He supports 'The Right' of Muslims To Build The Ground Zero Mosque. Yes, a Islamic community center and mosque two blocks from Ground Zero. 








Should blacks in America be concerned about this? 


Why should we, when blacks are treated like slaves in Iraq and other Muslim countries?



















Why did the President have to jump into the fray? Why did he engage FOX News and other right wingers in opening these old wounds? Why is the President playing into Fox News hands? Let's talk about it tonight, on the AAPP's political slugfest... "If you can handle the truth."

Before you call into the show, be aware that despite what you might have heard, a 13-story mosque is not going to be built at ground zero in lower Manhattan. For that matter, a 13-story mosque is not going to be built within a few blocks of ground zero. Rather a 13-story building is going up which will contain, among other things, a mosque. More HERE

This might seem like an academic distinction, but in the heated debate surrounding Park51, or as the building is known more commonly, the "ground zero mosque," it really is an important one.


First here are the facts: The building in question is planned to be a Muslim community center, a sort of YMCA (or, I suppose, YMMA). The plans are for it to have fitness facilities (swimming pool, gym, basketball court), a 500-seat auditorium, a restaurant and a cooking school, exhibition space, a library, art studios, a 9/11 memorial--the impudence! the outrage!--and childcare facilities (which no doubt will soon be referred to as a "Manhattan Madrasa"). And it's also going to house a mosque.

But calling the entire building a mosque is a bit like referring to the Empire State Building as a 103-story Walgreens because the pharmacy chain has a store on the ground floor.

And for that matter it's important to keep in mind that it's not at ground zero. It's two blocks north of ground zero, on a street running parallel to the old World Trade Center site.


It's too bad the President didn't lay out all the facts... maybe, just maybe, the American people would understand.
