Talk:The Black Commentator
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
If anyone can find more information on the Janice Brown incident on C-Span, in regards to the names of the actual Republicans who were waving the cartoons around to try to make the Democrats feel guilty, I would appreciate it. - TheBurningHelm
No one go ape-shyt, I'm going to include all of the various referenced articles so that this article can be referenced to all of its claims.

- In its current form, this is not a Wikipedia article. It is a scathing editorial masquerading as fact.

The following are not neutral claims. They are not statements of fact.
“The Black Commentator, or Blackcommentator.com, is a racialist online weekly publication”
“The publication comes from a radical left-wing direction”
“BC's publishers firmly believe that the majority of African-Americans are physically, morally and intellectually superior to white Americans.”
The following statements and positions allegedly supported by The Black Commentator are not attributed:
“The website is equally critical of white American conservatives and liberals, whom the publishers and the overwhelming majority of guest commentators regard as blantant racists.”
“The publishers have also made a range of contronversial comments in various articles, claiming that the majority of white Americans do not believe that African-Americans have the uncontested right to vote or live in American society”
“Many of its articles are also directed at white liberals, whom the publishers consider both half-hearted and in most cases just watered-down versions of their Republican counterparts, i.e. closet racists in their opinion.”
These examples are just from the first two paragraphs.
Furthurmore, the “criticism” section does not provide facts on opinions. Rather it states opinion as fact. An article should seek to provide facts about debates, citiing a variety of attributed opinions.
The methodology for the “quotes” section is also dubious. It appears that the quotes were selected to compliment the tenor of earlier opinions. A more ethical use of quotes is to select them to inform a neutral engagement with debates.
This article is not acceptable in its current form. If the author wishes to have his/her perspective represented in essay format, they should start their own web page and link to it from a neutral Wikipedia article. I have edited out non-neutral content.
