I don't normally listen to the Tom Joyner Morning Show -- just not my cup of tea. But I will be listening this Tuesday, for Tavis' commentary. (When I did used to listen to the TJMF, it was only for Tavis' bit, and then I'd turn to the talk stations...)
Reason for change? I was reporting at an event tonight (yeesh, it's late ... revise that to Saturday night...) where Tavis was receiving an honorary doctorate from Florida Memorial Univesity, a South Florida HBCU. Well... let's just say Tavis went off on Barack Obama for, in his words, "throwing Rev. Jeremiah Wright under the bus."
He had a lot to say, but you'll have to wait for my South Florida Times article to get the full skinny.
Until then, set your car radio for Tom Joyner's show on Tuesday...Labels: Barack Obama, Jeremiah Wright, race and politics, race in America, Tavis Smiley |
