Not one Fox News black journo makes the Henry Gates Jr.-founded (recall Henry and the Obama Rose Garden Beer Summit), Washington Post-owned The Root list of influential African Americans.

    It's a participantion award. You know everyone get's one for participating. It's condescending, and it fit's the pattern of treating people of color as <span>Infinatiles.</span>

    The Fox folks should wear it as a badge of honor they didn't make the "pet" list.

  4. Could someone please come up with a list to validate me?  Otherwise, my self-esteem may wither and I'll crawl off in a corner and suck my thumb.

  5. I'll bet Clarence Thomas would not make Skippy Gates list of top African American Supreme Court Justices nor would Herman Cain the list of top African American pizza CEO's.

  6. No, Clarence and Cain were not fingered by The Root.
