What Do You Call Two Black Guys Who Have Seats in Congress?
Posted by on 06/6/07 in Array


The two men over there? Despite what you may believe, they are not the same person. We know! Hard! To! Imagine! Unless you’re a staffer (probably someone low on the totem pole) at Fox News, whose feelings about blacks mimic Bill O’Reilly’s feelings toward Mexicans: You can easily replace one with another.
Which means that when the cable network was airing a story on disgraced Congressman William Jefferson’s indictment, relays Stereohyped, they used a photo of Michigan Congressman John Conyers instead. (Sure, they apologized for it. And explained it away in endless detail.)
And while everybody makes identification mistakes – including us, and Us – it’s good to hear FNC has moved on from their “Obama”-”Osama” jokes.
