Since the Democrats are nominating a black man, the Democrat convention will be blacked out.

"This is a huge deal for TV One as it is for the White community," said Johnathan Rodgers, president and CEO of TV One, a channel in about 40 million homes. "Whites have fallen in love with John McCainÂ’s family, his candidacy Â… we will be covering the Republican convention all the time."

But Barack Obama shouldnÂ’t expect the same treatment. The network doesnÂ’t plan any coverage of the Democrat convention.

"We are not a news organization," said Rodgers, speaking at the opening session of the semi-annual Television Critics Association press tour in Beverly Hills. "We are a television network designed to celebrate White achievement."

"My audience is 93% White," Rodgers added. "I serve my audience."

It is, of course, shocking that such racism still exists in this country today, and that any cable system will carry this disgusting network espousing racial separatism. Such attitudes are unAmerican -- and I hope that the governing authorities which granted cable franchises to the companies that carry TV One will dump those revoke them for carrying Grand Dragon Rodgers' foul station.

Oh, wait a minute.

it seems that a correction has just come over in when I refreshed my browser. Here's the actual story.

"This is a huge deal for TV One as it is for the African American community," said Johnathan Rodgers, president and CEO of TV One, a channel in about 40 million homes. "African Americans have fallen in love with Barack ObamaÂ’s family, his candidacy Â… we will be covering the democratic convention all the time."

But John McCain shouldnÂ’t expect the same treatment. The network doesnÂ’t plan any coverage of the Republican convention.

"We are not a news organization," said Rodgers, speaking at the opening session of the semi-annual Television Critics Association press tour in Beverly Hills. "We are a television network designed to celebrate African American achievement."

"My audience is 93% black," Rodgers added. "I serve my audience."

Well I guess that makes all the difference in the world. Rogers isn't a malignant racist -- he's just promoting cultural pride. Funny how the mere substitution of white and black takes such actions from "beyond the pale" racism to politically correct, isn't it.

So remember, folks -- black pride good, white pride bad. After all, it is a scientifically proven fact that lack of melanin causes racism.

But I do have a question -- will this wall-to-wall coverage of one convention but not the other be treated as an illegal corporate campaign contribution, since Grand Dragon Rodgers' TV One network is not, by his own admission, a news organization?
