Fuck CNN’s Soledad O’Brien! 
CNN reporter Soledad O’Brien should have her sisterhood card revoked immediately and never returned! She has damaged, betrayed, and disrespected the entire black female community with her negative, short-sighted, half-assed, stereotypical, and repetitive “investigative reporting” on black women in America.
Her program Black In America: The Black Woman And The Family was a complete and total fraud! This program did not address the lives and experiences of black women in America at all! It was two hours of of the same negative racist and sexist stereotypes that the majority of white America believes about black people, particularly black women.
Ms. O’Brien’s documentary stripped black women in America down to nothing but unwed, single mothers with multiple children, they can not properly raise or control to lonely, but educated black women that can’t find a man to broken down old black women that can’t take care of themselves. I was never so distressed or disgusted watching an investigative news report on African American women.
Ms. O’Brien’s program was so awful that it made MSNBC’s past program, African-American Women: Where They Stand series look like ground-breaking and interesting television. And black women universally hated that complete series. I cannot believe that Soledad O’Brien spent 18 months investigating black women in America, only to come up with the same old tired crap that has already been covered BADLY by someone else.
Where was the expression of pride of being a a black woman in America in the 21st century? Where were the positive stories? Where were the stories that expressed the uniqueness of black womanhood? Our humor? Our passion? Our beliefs? Our dreams? Where were the black mother/daughter relationships? Where were the successful programs that changed the lives of black women for the better? Where was the celebration of black women? Where were the voices of black women period?
Please my sistas, this travesty of journalism cannot be allowed to stand. E-mail Ms. Soledad O’Brien and tell her what you think. Here is the link. If I had the choice of black women in America being completely ignored by mainstream news and “investigative” reports like CNN and MSNBC has produced, I would much rather have black women in America completely ignored!
