Mainstream media warns Obama not to be an ‘angry black man’

By David Edwards and Daniel Tencer
Wednesday, June 9th, 2010 -- 7:52 pm

To hear the media talk about it, President Obama has a serious dilemma: On the one hand, the public wants to see the president express more anger about the Gulf of Mexico oil spill. On the other hand, it's bad politics for the nation's first black president to come off as an "angry black man."

An article on the CNN Web site Wednesday displayed little doubt as to which way the president should go.

"The risk of being an 'angry black man'," read the headline, and underneath, the caption: "Scholars say history has shown that African-American men can frighten white people if they display too much anger."

4. Sheesh. Can't our journalists come up with more insight than

this "he needs to be concerned about not being an angry black man" trope? This sort of bullshit is why people have little respect for the press anymore.
