Because if you had, you would have found (among other things) that the conference had an African American Caucus (http://netrootsnation.org/node/935).<BR/><BR/>Whoops.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2566268769860937739.post-7965915342354740842008-07-23T13:33:00.000-07:002008-07-23T13:33:00.000-07:00Yo, Francis:Check out my "Netroots Nation" post ov...Yo, Francis:<BR/><BR/>Check out my "Netroots Nation" post over at JJP, dated July 20, 2008. Markos tried to claim he got Donna Edwards elected to Congress and she corrected him by giving the team at Black Agenda Report and CBC Monitor those props.<BR/><BR/>He got quite pissy when I pointed out I wasn't the only one who was screaming about the lack of diversity at that conference, but he decided to call me out instead of his fellow white guys.<BR/><BR/>Eight black bloggers got in the grill of Gina Cooper, the Netroots Nation Chair and asked why she disliked using the word "diversity". I read her the riot act and she asked if I was an attorney.<BR/><BR/>Naw, I play one on TV (though I do have a year of law school under my belt and contract law was my strong suit) LOL.<BR/><BR/>The pissy way he acted with me indicates that you're on to something; probably more than something. And your name was dropped quite a few times among bloggers of color who were wondering why the hell Markos is so damned defensive about the lack of diversity at his conferences?The Christian Progressive Liberalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04445662404937684518noreply@blogger.com
