Check out the Flip Video test we did while on WVON this morning

03/27/2008 6:28 am 31 comments

Every Thursday on my radio show on WVON-AM in Chicago, we discuss technology issues. So, in an effort to show folks how easy all of this is, we tested the Flip Video camera. Sharon McGhee, who does the news, shot the video while I was interviewing Mario Armstrong. As he was explaining the Flip Video camera, I was uploading the video directly to YouTube. This is all about getting folks to know how easy this stuff is and to live in the 21st century! ?

    Nice Roland, I listen to your show every morning, keep up the good work….

    Hello Roland

    I really appreciate you defending the respect and integrity of all people especially the African American. Occasionally I would watch fox news and almost alway I would feel that they have a strong bias against black in reference to Obama. Last week i finally concluded after watching sean hannity interview attorney Shabazz who is with the black panther. This interview revealed to me that fox news hire white supremist supporters such as sean hannity and maybe O’riley. Can you look into to this at http://www.newshounds.us/2008/03/20/hannity_denies_past_association_with_white_supremacist_but_evidence_suggests_otherwise.php and bring it to publics attention so everyone will know the true intentions from some of these white and confused black supporters of hillary. Hillary is a liar like her husband and i would be shocked if america vote for another liar for president over a good and honest man like Barak Obama. Thank you for your leadership and have a bless day.

    TEXAS TO MOVE PRIMARY! John Edwards and Joe Biden should file suit against the DNC for the Michigan and Florida debacle if they allow new elections. Is the DNC clairvoyant enough to know that election votes in these two States would not have knocked out Clinton or Obama? I submit that this has been a very capricious election year and if the DNC can prove to be omniscient, any redo in Florida or Michigan is now unfair to each democratic candidate. A redo complicates the process and rules stop litigious activity. Convention credentials’ fight success for Clinton will only stimulate the Supreme Court to settle actions by Obama’s folks. The Supreme court process ending is well after the convention. I have suggested that Texas move the voting primary next time, if our delegates are strip from Texas, no worries, we have set a precedence for Texas; DNC rules need not apply.

    The full story behind Rev. Jeremiah Wright’s 9/11 sermon
    Editor’s note: CNN Contributor Roland Martin has listened to several of the sermons of Rev. Jeremiah Wright from Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago. Portions of the sermons have been excerpted in recent stories.

    As this whole sordid episode regarding the sermons of the Rev. Jeremiah Wright has played out over the last week, I wanted to understand what he ACTUALLY said in this speech. I’ve been saying all week on CNN that context is important, and I just wanted to know what the heck is going on.

    I have now actually listened to the sermon Rev. Wright gave after September 11 titled, “The Day of Jerusalem’s Fall.” It was delivered on Sept. 16, 2001.

    One of the most controversial statements in this sermon was when he mentioned “chickens coming home to roost.” He was actually quoting Edward Peck, former U.S. Ambassador to Iraq and deputy director of President Reagan’s terrorism task force, who was speaking on FOX News. That’s what he told the congregation.

    He was quoting Peck as saying that America’s foreign policy has put the nation in peril:

    “I heard Ambassador Peck on an interview yesterday did anybody else see or hear him? He was on FOX News, this is a white man, and he was upsetting the FOX News commentators to no end, he pointed out, a white man, an ambassador, he pointed out that what Malcolm X said when he was silenced by Elijah Mohammad was in fact true, he said Americas chickens, are coming home to roost.”

    Mr. Martin’s absurd gloss has now been picked up by the lunatic left on the internet and in the rest of the media.

    But an objective reading of the above excerpt and viewing of the clip show that this is not what Mr. Wright said.

    Wright: “[Peck] pointed out that what Malcolm X said when he was silenced by Elijah Mohammad was in fact true, he [Malcolm] said Americas chickens, are coming home to roost.”

    It is abundantly clear to any fluent speaker of the English language that Mr. Wright was merely claiming that Mr. Peck’s remarks bore out the truth of Malcolm X’s phrase. He was not quoting Mr. Peck.

    That is, Mr. Wright is not saying, as Mr. Martin claims, that Ambassador Peck used the expression “America’s chickens are coming home to roost.”

    Weirder still, according to Lexus-Nexis Mr. Peck does not even seem to have appeared on Fox News until October 5, 2001.

    And that appearance is after the date of Mr. Wright’s sermon, if the usually given date is accurate.

    According to the transcripts, Mr. Peck did not once utter the expression that “America’s chickens are coming home to roost,” or anything like that, in any of his appearances on Fox News.

    Furthermore, again according to Lexis-Nexus, Mr. Peck appeared on only one other television show in that time frame — on CNBC. Where again, there was no mention of chickens or roosts.

    Indeed, a Lexis-Nexus search of all of Fox News for the words “chicken” and roost” between 9/11 and 10/22 in 2001 returns only one reference.

    It comes from the Fox News program, “Live Event,” on September 18, 2001. And the person who bring it up is talking about what Saddam’s Iraq was claiming:

For success we must transform our creative thoughts, ideas, experiences, and suggestions into at least one best seller. There it is! Success in recognition, money, power, and longevity is in our written words. Our best example is the Bible. All success needs today is a title and personal truth story or historical account of our own life CHANGE and every blogger today has EXAMPLED many. Success is our story of change!

    Can Bill Clinton VOTE? After all he’s waited all his life to vote for an African American , or a women to become President of the U.S.

    A picture is worth a 1,000 words.

    I am sure everyone remembers and appreciates the TV commercial with all of the nationalities, cultures, and races of people saying, “I am an American!”

    To represent every HARD WORKING American today voting for Senator Barack Obama, we need the same commercial saying, “I am a conservative!”

  • Katriba Wada

    Renee

    Obama seems to me to be like every other politician in that he says he can cure all the problems with no concrete answers.

  • Solja

    It’s amazing to me how people at this stage of the game are STILL saying Sen. Obama hasn’t presented “concrete answers” to the problems we face in this country. It’s really obvious to see that these people have NOT been paying attention to anyone but their own candidate. All that it takes is a simple “click” of the mouse to find out, but yet they just won’t take the effort but have the AUDACITY to even join in grown folks’ conversations online about this race. It’s amazing!

    THE NEXT PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!

    This 40th anniversary of the tragic assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., I want to share a video that reveals how far we’ve come and how much this campaign owes to Dr. King’s legacy.
    Students at a high school in the Bronx, who had no real interest in their government, have found new hope. They were surprised by their own excitement and engagement, but to me, they embody so many reasons why Barack and I decided to get into this campaign.
    It’s truly moving to see young people inspired by a political leader — someone who gives them hope and reminds them that they can be anything they want to be if they work hard.
    Watch what these kids have to say about politics and race in this country:

    http://my.barackobama.com/yestheycan

    Much has changed in this country since Dr. King’s death, and thanks to his life and work we have taken critical strides towards racial equality.
    The simple fact that Barack is running a competitive campaign for President is a direct result of Dr. King’s legacy — and this movement for change would be impossible without the support of people of all races, ages, and backgrounds.

    I remember back in December of 2006, a group of us were discussing the possibility of Barack running for President. And as you might have read, I was hesitant about the idea.
    But then Barack started talking about why he really wanted to do this — to bring people together and to change the tone of the way we talk to each other in this country. He talked about the need for people to be inspired by their leaders, and the importance of leadership to chart a different course. He talked about Dr. King and Bobby Kennedy, and their passion to challenge a new generation and provide them with role models.

    Barack promised that as a candidate and as President he would do everything he could to bring new people to the table. He shared his desire to reach out to our neglected inner cities, to strive to be a role model for young people, and to connect with people who are not involved in politics — those who feel their voices haven’t been heard, those who have been left behind, and those who have been turned off by all the petty bickering in recent years.

    We can change that, by standing on the shoulders of folks like Dr. King who came before us.
    Watching these students who are excited about their own role in politics for the first time, and watching Barack as he strives to live up to the challenges Dr. King made possible, I am truly touched.

    I hope you’ll watch this video and share that feeling with your friends and family: http://my.barackobama.com/yestheycan
    Thank you,

    Michelle Obama

    Why was Colin Powell condiered a “Tom”, Bill Cosby “out of touch”, but, Obama (a bi-racial) the one you would vote for?

    Thanks

  • http://www.biblestudygroup888.info RENEE

    What is the connection or commonality between the three people you chose to compare? I can better answer the question-lunacy—why people black and white that include his own wife call Bill Clinton the first black president. We (black people in America) and many than will admit whites are all bi-racial. So what else will creative dissention unearth in American bigotry?

    Senator Barack Obama is the best qualified “person” for the job of President of The United States of America. Let’s keep our comparisons to those running for President that includes Obama, Clinton, and McCain. I really don’t care why women have chosen to vote for Clinton because she is a woman, because that’s there narrow minded problem.

    What say you and other regarding technology where this blog topic started?

  • W Johnson

    RENEE

    You are becoming the queen of gobblygook – making the simple complex.

    Let me ask you simple questions -

    What makes Obama the “best qualified”?

    Is it because he is the “best qualified” or that he is half black that so many blacks have supported him?

    Why is Colin Powell a “Tom”?

    Why is Bill Cosby “out of touch with his people” when he writes books like “Come on People” telling blacks to take responsibility for their own lives and not blame everything on whitey?

    If ALL whites are bi-racial, AND and bi-racial is BLACK, are we ALL not then….BLACK?

    SISTA!!

    Why is it that when a white questions ANYTHING about blacks, they are a bigot or a racist?

    Simple, non-gobblygook responses, please.

  • http://www.biblestudygroup888.info RENEE

    I believe in allowing people to speak for themselves, especially those running for President of the United States of America. This is the simplest and to the point answer there is.

    Enjoy!

  • W Johnson

    RENEE –

    I’ll take that to mean you cannot answer in simple sentences.

    I find people use gooblygook to hide they cannot clearly express them selves.

    I may be wrong.

    Roland, I live in indiana where the following E-Mail is being circulated. I received it on 4/19/08.

    I would like to request?you to take a few minutes to view this website,
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QOdlnzkeoyQ&feature=related

    I am extremely upset that Fox News and other media outlets are allowed to lie. Reporters and commentators are suppose to give us the facts or their opinion based on fact.

    Also the Pope this week suggested that priests molesting children was partly Americans fault because of our immorality. I see no one is speaking about that!
