Maybe it has to with how I handle embedded videos? I click in the lower righthand corner on Watch on YouTube and then watch it there in order to comment on the thread without interrupting the video.

Otherwise, it's a mystery. But I'll tell ya this, LA, I'm glad people weren't deliberately ignoring me.

And Cornel West, and he thinks all black are poor and he is tonedeaf on race and icky. And he said ghettos are traditionally AA, and was sooooo hurtful and painful, but I'll give Bill Clinton a pass! And no comment about Haiti. Nor will I read his comprehensive racial justice plank be cause he said black people live in ghettos. According to an AA forum regular today.

I missed the first part. Hopefully it will be on video. Everyone was great but I have a special place in my heart for Belefonte. I love that man. His body may be getting frail but his mind is as sharp as ever. Hillary who? Loved it! Thank you so much for posting the link. I clicked on another link here on DU and some clown was floating all kinds of objects across the screen during the event (Gilligan, lava lamp, etc.).
