The One

I have watched more CNN in rhe last four days than ever before.  They have the best coverage of the George \Zimmerman trial of all the networks. But listening to the trial analysts is almost as exciting as the trial itself.  I have made note that nearly all of those for the prosecution are young black females. They have a couple of white males in the mix, but most of them are talk show hosts in search of ratings. That's all Piers Morgan and Anderson Cooper talk about these days. They both have two hour shows on a daily basis.

One of those  analyst who has taken a dive in credibility in the last few days is Sunny Hostin. Black people with a voice need to stop using the clout they have established, to get behind causes just because of other blacks holding hands in darkness. Judge Hackett is past her prime. So she gets a pass. But I hold Faith Jenkins, Natalie Jones and Sunny Hostin to a different standard. It started with Sunny's comments about John Guy that marginalized her position on the panel. Mark Gregaros an accomplished defense attorney and  writer,took her to task.  All she could say was, "she is a former federal prosecutor with lots of trial experience, and she is Latino, African American, a mother and part white". None of which have anything to do with the facts in this case. Faith Jenkins is a candidate for changing ships. Her voice isn't sounding so convincing all of a sudden. She barely escaped  the wrath of Trent Copeland. He  is the only black on CNN I've seen who I totally agree with.

The jurors in this case are six women. Five of them are white, one of them is black or Hispanic. It's not hard to tell though. What race are her children? Do they look like  Ralph Giancarlo or Carlos Esposito? As a whole only blacks and gays want  to assimilate. After watching Sunny Hostin today. It's like she has a bitter taste in her mouth. She went home and thought about what her colleagues said. Don Lemon and Charles Blow aren't even attorneys. So their legal opinon is limted in it's scope. I think I know why they are so consumed with this profiling. In the words of Don Lemon "you know how we do". In spite of what she thought. She still represents only the one.
