Eugene Kane Thinks All Blacks Look The Same Too

Eugene Kane Thinks All Blacks Look The Same Too

I had to laugh... Eugene Kane seems to get his panties in a bunch when people mix up names if they're black.
In one month Eugene blogs 2 complaints:

1) Fox News does it again
The folks at FOX News are apologizing - again - for naming the wrong black person.
This time, it's Rep. John Conyers of Michigan who was misidentified as Louisiana Rep. William J. Jefferson who was recently charged with soliciting bribery.Conyers, of course, is House Judiciary Committee Chairman.At least Fox only seems to mess up with famous black people.

2)This time, ABC News thinks all black guys look alike
Fair is fair.I blogged about it when Fox News mixed up pictures of accused politician William Jefferson with another black politician.
This time, it's ABC News running a picture of former DC mayor Marion Barry when they meant to show the black guy who is suing a cleaner for millions of dollars because they lost his pants. I am in the news business, so I know people can always make mistakes. But the way some national networks continually mis-identify pictures of black people needs to be addressed by the journalism industry. Maybe they need more diversity in their newsrooms so they can ask a black person to identify each picture?

Well Eugene's theory of adding more diversity (his way of saying have more blacks in the newsroom) wouldn't fix the problem. Kane himself can't even tell them apart. Maybe Eugene needs to have more diversity in his newsroom (my way of saying more people with an IQ higher than 8).

Eugene's Blog after all his ripping on newsrooms and mixing black people up:
It's Mark Wright, not Michael I want to correct an error in today's column about Mark A. Wright, shot and killed last week by a troublesome neighborhood. In the column, I incorrectly referred to him as "Michael Wright". Also, his brother is Michael Robinson, not Mark Robinson. During my interview, I mixed up the first names of the brothers. My regrets to the grieving family for the error. A printed correction will run in tomorrow's newspaper.
