The Angry Black Woman Show with Sunny James; Show Notes #23

Hello Everyone,

Thanks for joining me again.  I hope I have provided something in this show that will spark your interest.  As usual I need to thank my listeners for their interest, but this week a special thank you goes to the many, students and faculty at colleges and universities across the country and yes around the world that listen to The ABW with Sunny James.  As I go down the list of downloads, just this morning, the Department of Defense Dependents School, European Region had checked in, so had the U.S. Military Academy and Hampton University.  The list goes on and I sent out an audio thank you to many more schools.

Show #23

-- SHORT TAKES --

1.  Enough already with the main stream media attempts at making Barack Obama the Great Black--or is that--Democratic Hope and the salvation of Black folks far and near.  I don't care how many covers he's on.  Great life story, but he just isn't ready to lead this country.  And why are so many voices, who readily admit to his inexperience,talking the loudest about a presidential run?  U.S. News and World Report and Newsweek

November 2:  Add one more, last minute voice to this issue.  I just couldn't resist:  Stanley Crouch of the New York Daily News weighs in on Obama.  And he raises some interesting points.

2.  The Tennessee senate race.  No video clip here. Funky, Foul and Nasty, or can I just say Republican?  Harold Ford--Quality race run by quality politician.  Can he be the first African-American elected to the Senate since Reconstruction?  Newsweek

3.  White women and their love of little Black African children.  Just NOT African American children.  Where's the love?  The WEEK
