Nick Cannon is an Uncle Tom

As is the case with many GCers. You just take longer to form an opinion...if you ever do...yet you insist on joining these discussions.

Have you educated yourself and answered the questions you asked in this thread?

By the way, for many topics, your time would be better spent worrying about outcome rather than motivation. Motivation is often difficult to prove. Most people are keen enough to punch you in the face and claim they had no idea their hand was capable of forming a fist and punching.

I'm not sure Ted Nugent was the very best person to present that side of the issue. Cannon then brought on another guest who presented the other side very eloquently.

It seems like a cool show. I appreciate a show that is not all about the host.

Ted Nugent is similar to Rush Limbaugh in that he is an extremist on some topics. There is no middle ground for Nugent and Limbaugh. Nugent is not swift enough to see how the very fact that he has to say "we have a Black President...yada yada yada" highlights the fact that such opportunities are still note worthy for nonwhites. President Barack Obama is the first Black President...or a President who is Black...whereas the other Presidents are just...Presidents. Some of us talk about the fact that every other President is a white man but most people do not mention it as though being a white man is the model for awesomeness and race-gender-neutrality.
