CNN reporter John Blake came out with a rather awkward frontpage headline, “The risk of being an ‘angry black man’“.
If the photo isn’t enough to make you say, WTF CNN, the information they gathered to form this article is even more humerus.
“Folks are waiting for a Samuel Jackson ‘Snakes on the Plane’ moment from this president as in: ‘We gotta’ get this $#@!!* oil back in the $#!!* rig!’ But that’s just not who Obama is,” says Saladin Ambar, a political science professor at Lehigh University in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania.
“But scholars say Obama’s critics ignore a lesson from American history: Many white Americans don’t like angry black men.”
“Obama’s cool temperament even prompted black filmmaker Spike Lee to tell CNN that for at least one time, Obama should ‘go off.’”
“Angry black men tend to scare white people”
Congrats CNN, you have just once again furthered stereotypes based on statistics, quoting random idiots and straight garbage.
