Barack Obama and Race
Here are a couple of interesting video clips on CNN about Barack Obama and race that relates back to the discussions we had last week in class. First is a clip from Paula Zahn with what Barack Obama has to say about race. Second is a clip with John Ridley, an African American author and pundit, discussing "divisions" in the African American community around Barack's candidacy. Notice the not so subtle "slip of the tongue" by anchor mixing up "Obama" and "Osama".

Same here... I get some lame pop-up about how the video player for CNN is based on Windows Media player 9 or higher and requires it for viewing... and yet, I have Windows Media Player 11 installed. :P

That is very strange, I tried the links on three seperate computers and they work on all of them.
