Fox News television host has decided to… host his own march on Washington. Coincidentally, it is on the 47th anniversary of the Dr. Martin Luther King lead, “I Have A Dream” march. You know… just watch the video. Jon Stewart does a better job of commenting on this than I ever will or have the energy to devote to it.

Okay, so it’s none of my business. I’m not him. I’m not a member of his family. I’m nothing to Lebron James. But that does not change the fact that he’s somebody to a mass amount of people. He knows he’s somebody to a mass amount of people or he wouldn’t have ended up on ESPN with a show called “The Decision”, simply to tell the world where he’s going to work for the next five years. Quite frankly, there are a ton of people in America who would love to be able to quietly tell their families around the dinner table where they’re going to be working for the next week or so.
What does that have to do with Lebron? Well in the midst of all of this unemployment out here, folks reach out for a little escape. They look towards an evening at the movies, HBO, and if they’re lucky an evening at the basketball game to root for their hero. Hey, even if they can’t make it to the game folks settle for a chance to look at the big pictures in the sports section of their local newspaper or catch the highlights on the web, evening news and of course… ESPN.

Writer and social commentator/activist Tim Wise has written a piece titled “Imagine If The Tea Party Was Black” that has probably gone viral by now, (If not, it should, I’ve included it in this post) and yet after one begins to read it, paragraph after paragraph streams by as if it is like witnessing an editorial train wreck in progress. No it’s not because the kilobytes it takes up on the internet are not worth a dang, it’s because ya just can’t stop reading it until the sinking feeling it gives makes you feel as if you’re on a caboose watching train cars ahead of you roll off the track one by one and it’s only a moment before it’s your time. Your time to come to grips with the fact that there is something terribly wrong in America when it comes to race and privilege. Of course, if you’re a person of color and you point this out you’re a whiner and if you point it out and you happen to be white, as Tim Wise is, you’re the worst kind of liberal that walks the earth, you are engulfed by white guilt.

Well… If it’s getting more difficult to see Sarah Palin as a Presidential candidate for 2012 or “2000-ever”, it’s possible that SNL has once again utilized its comedic political crystal ball and brought a little clarity to her future.
