You had a speaker today who was formerly Sen. Kennedy's education advisor, and who spoke authoritatively about Obama's speech vis-a-vis educ'l issues. What is his name? and why doesn't the website make it easy for me to hear that segment over again, the way it used to do?
Please respond.
Brian, you missed a great opportunity to talk about the cultural images that perpetuate and reinforce bigotry and racial prejudice. The simian trope and the slant eyes etc etc
Brian, you missed a great opportunity to talk about the cultural images that perpetuate and reinforce bigotry and racial prejudice. The simian trope and the slant eyes are cut from the same cloth. In the U.S. these images have been used interchangeably to "other" and alienate citizens and maintain privilege. It is time that we all become more vigilant about calling these things out and putting a stop to them. It takes all of us to fight for social justice--not just when our group is attacked but when anyone is attacked. There is no excuse--whether by a child or a corporation. It all serves the same end and emanates from the same source
Pledge Week is kind of like a political convention: red meat for the base. Ms. Cho doesn't do it for me, but it is interesting to know what wnyc THINKS I want to hear: fluffy leftism with some (at this point in American history, quite safe) cultural/racial "progressivism." No Dean Baker or John N. Gray or anybody with real substantive dissenting opinions on what's going on in economics.
Miley Cyrus will never be half the woman you are Cho!
What was the point of this interview?
So what happens to the lawyer's soul that was originally in the body? Was she blinked out of existence so the formerly thin, beautiful woman could have a life experience?
What a double standard, Cho makes fun of flamboyantly gay people in her "act" but Hannah Montana can't slant her eyes.
Tattoes and all, I am not impressed with the RACE-HONK.
When the Democrats get all teary eyed for characters like this, you can see the next Republican victory on the horizon.
Why is Cho on, simply because she's a celebrity?
Oh, now we're talking about tatoos? Lord, what drivel!!
Brian, get a show!
Does Cho have any siblings? If so - are they as nutty as she is? Before she was famous - how did her parents deal with her? Was she rowdy as a teenager?
Of course Jessica Simpson still looks GREAT! The talk of her weight diverts attention from her lack talent as an actress.
i loved "All American Girl" we live in america, how can we NOT be enough ??? when will this judging stop ???
Is Cho the world's greatest expert .... about everything??
And yet so modest too! Sheesh!
(I thought that was Prof. Irwin Corey, but that was his schtick!)
I've been following Ms. Cho's career over the years, hoping she would say something funny. Still waiting.
Am I the only one who felt like he needed to watch a NASCAR race after the Oscars, just as a palate cleanser? Those are always ridiculously self-righteous, but that one was a new low in condescending self-congratulations.
What case is Ms. Cho talking about???
From a comedy standpoint, isn't part of the problem with Obama that he doesn't have any hooks?
Kennedy was fantastically popular, but he had that unmistakable Boston accent.
Clinton had his little isms -- the lip bite, the delivery (plus all his other stuff).
It's so great Margaret is on your show today. Thanks WNYC!
cho is the greatest.
a Prophet of our age
Margaret Cho is extremely talented and gifted. Cho's tribute to George Carlin at the Mark Twain Prize ceremony was deeply moving and right on the money!!
Margret has a very diverse following. She speaks particularly the communities who happen not to be white, heterosexual or men. Which if you think about is most of the Earths population.
