CNN should be ashamed. Gross. Do they think "African-America" is another country, separate from the US?

But Susan Rice is a bold, bold pick. What does this mean for DRC and Darfur? Will the US send troops to stop genocide now?

I'm glad for Sista Rice. She was one of Obama's better surrogates during the campaign season, being shaken only once - the day of the Wright fiasco at the NPC.

Obviously, the only conclusion here is that CNN doesn't know that Africa is a continent.

I have the opposite problem with my students when they write about poems that deal with race, but that aren't set in the US, like "Telephone Conversation" by Wole Soyinka. They go on and on about African-American this and that, completely forgetting that London isn't in the US, and that a person from Africa is African, not African-American.

Ah, Mr. Coates.

You have your Dr. Rice.
And now I have mine.

CNN and Faux News are becoming interchangeable, not only on ideology, but with their reckless disregard for facts.
