This is disgusting to pit Black Americans against Latinos in work force!
May 25th, 2007 at 10:43 pmWhat a dumb ass question. Christ, racial monolithic assumptions don’t hold up!
May 25th, 2007 at 10:44 pmWhat the hell is this suposto be, a fluff thread?…Oh well…
May 25th, 2007 at 10:45 pmTell you what. Pit a black and a latino against a rich white man in a test of physical labor. We’ll see who’s ‘lazier’…
May 25th, 2007 at 10:49 pmWhoa.
May 25th, 2007 at 10:50 pmCNN is such a professional outfit. Sometimes they manage to even make FOX News look good.
May 25th, 2007 at 10:53 pmEarth to CNN….Hello?
May 25th, 2007 at 10:53 pmEarth to CNN….Any Home? Hello?
May 25th, 2007 at 10:54 pmApparently, the opposite question, ‘Who is lazier? Blacks and Latinos on the job” would have been too blatent.
May 25th, 2007 at 10:56 pmJesus Herbert Christ….
May 25th, 2007 at 11:03 pmHey Trip master, pit a 65 year old white woman with a bum ticker against a rich white man and I can guerentee ya who can do more…Me….LOL..Blessings
May 25th, 2007 at 11:03 pmIt seems that what CNN is really asking is: ‘Who does cheap labor [read: slave labor] better,’ blacks or latinos?
May 25th, 2007 at 11:21 pmGotta be blacks, NotRequired. They have more experience.
May 25th, 2007 at 11:31 pmOOPS! Thanks JPark
Guess I better re-phrase my summary.
It appears that CNN is really asking who will do the labor cheaper, blacks or latinos?
We all know the corporations could care less about the quality of the work produced. My bad.
May 25th, 2007 at 11:39 pmI’m so steamed off right now. As a black man, I find this so sickening that they would prey on both minorities and pit them against one another. Ugghh.
May 25th, 2007 at 11:45 pmKarim, I am guessing you aren’t surprised though.

Comment by Karim
Absolutely disgusting!
It’s not even news, they’re making up this stupid shit.
May 25th, 2007 at 11:57 pmCNN next week is going to ask who makes better white wives, blondes, brunettes or readheads. The week after that, who gets laid more, short rich men or tall broke men. This is some serious shit.
May 26th, 2007 at 12:13 amGotta be brunettes, shane. A good submissive Asian woman or middle eastern women is ideal. They don’t talk back and question the average white dude’s masculinity.

Comment by shane
It’s the “news!”
Seriously, CNN is givng FOX a run for it’s money.
May 26th, 2007 at 12:15 amGotta be brunettes, shane. A good submissive Asian woman or middle eastern women is ideal. They don’t talk back and question the average white dude’s masculinity.
Comment by JPark
JPark that’s next month. This is just caucasian women, we don’t want any measurable traits messing up the story.
May 26th, 2007 at 12:25 amOh, jeez, just Caucasians? A high C or a D is a must. And blond…very blonde.
May 26th, 2007 at 12:29 amOh, jeez, just Caucasians? A high C or a D is a must. And blond…very blonde.
Comment by JPark
No accounting for taste.
FYI: You are dead to me. :P
May 26th, 2007 at 12:34 amHehe, Zoo, I actually like really pale petite redheads. I don’t know why but that works for me.
May 26th, 2007 at 12:40 amOr an intelligent woman with a sense of humor…with enough cuteness to make sure I don’t vomit. That works too. :)
May 26th, 2007 at 12:44 amAnd blond…very blonde.
Comment by JPark
I’m with you, my husband and my daughter are both blonde.
May 26th, 2007 at 12:44 amFYI: You are dead to me. :P
Comment by Zooey
You on the other hand, young lady, are sounding like my Sicilian mother. Please Ms. Z, don’t make JPark sleep with the fishes.
May 26th, 2007 at 12:46 amHehe, Zoo, I actually like really pale petite redheads. I don’t know why but that works for me.
Comment by JPark
Ahem, Zooey? Doesn’t that sound like the name of a tall woman, you are in such trouble.
May 26th, 2007 at 12:49 amHehe, shane, I am guessing neither your husband or daughter are high C or D cups!!! Actually, I like all hair color. Somehow pink hair is kind of a turn on :)
May 26th, 2007 at 12:50 amShane, I didn’t say tall!! Any height is fine with me. I like tiny women (they are sooooo cute) and tall women (I am comfortable with women taller than me…and if they want to wear high heals I am very supportive :) )
May 26th, 2007 at 12:52 amheels.
May 26th, 2007 at 12:56 amHehe, shane, I am guessing neither your husband or daughter are high C or D cups!!! Actually, I like all hair color. Somehow pink hair is kind of a turn on :)
Comment by JPark
Your right, no “mansierres” around here.
May 26th, 2007 at 1:00 amReally JPark, what man doesn’t like a woman in high heels? But pink hair? You are a wild man!
May 26th, 2007 at 1:02 amWell, short guys usually don’t like tall women in heels. I guess the pink hair is about being attracted to women with their own minds. Crimson highlights were more what I was thinking but hey, if it is pink, that if cool too.
May 26th, 2007 at 1:05 amWhat are mansierres?
May 26th, 2007 at 1:05 amOh, from the context I am guessing man-boobs.
May 26th, 2007 at 1:06 amOk, probably a valid question…tomorrow I would expect a scandinavian/samoan poll and after tomorrow the slavish/sajonian poll. I mean, for the sake of equilibrium, right?
(Anyone with better knowledge on anthropolgy is free to correct me at any time. I was just writing as I was thinking…whats new?)
May 26th, 2007 at 1:08 amThey don’t talk back and question the average white dude’s masculinity.
Comment by JPark
Always look for a woman with small hands. She will be impressed. :D
May 26th, 2007 at 1:11 amHehe, Juan, I have to look for the girl with above average hands. :)
May 26th, 2007 at 1:12 amOk, lets cut the crap, shall we? She has to have a nice ass. Period.
May 26th, 2007 at 1:14 amAmen, Juan!!! :)
May 26th, 2007 at 1:15 amHehe, Juan, I have to look for the girl with above average hands. :)
Comment by JPark
Yeah, right. Hehehe
May 26th, 2007 at 1:16 amIf I were lying I would say I was looking for a woman with Patrick Ewing hands!! :)
May 26th, 2007 at 1:19 amOh, from the context I am guessing man-boobs.
Comment by JPark
On Seinfeld, George’s father and Kramer (?) go into the mansierre business when they decide men need support. Sound appealing doesn’t it.
May 26th, 2007 at 1:19 amHehe, Juan, I have to look for the girl with above average hands. :)
Comment by JPark
Yeah, right. Hehehe
Comment by Juan C
You two are full of it. I can tell that both of you require a smart woman first. Remember, you can’t fix stupid.
May 26th, 2007 at 1:22 amHehe, no shane, it doesn’t!!! Big men should be swinging low when they get old. :)
May 26th, 2007 at 1:23 amIf I were lying I would say I was looking for a woman with Patrick Ewing hands!! :)
Comment by JPark
Another Seinfeld episode when Jerry dates a really attractive woman with “man hands”. Maybe you should consider writing a sitcom.
May 26th, 2007 at 1:23 amShane, that is absolutely right. Intelligence is the most important thing. I am sure Juan would agree.
May 26th, 2007 at 1:24 amHehe, no shane, it doesn’t!!! Big men should be swinging low when they get old. :)
Comment by JPark
Well there’s a visual I could have lived without!
May 26th, 2007 at 1:24 amIf I were lying I would say I was looking for a woman with Patrick Ewing hands!! :)
Comment by JPark
That was something I have to forget as soon as possible. :}
May 26th, 2007 at 1:26 amRemember, you can’t fix stupid.
Comment by shane
Just ask Patrick1´s mom. :D
I was flipping channels and that was right there on my screen. I couldn’t believe it.
May 26th, 2007 at 1:27 amDo I have the right to choose to abort CNN or the entire conservative corporate media for that matter?
May 26th, 2007 at 1:27 amI am sure Juan would agree.
Comment by JPark
Seriously, of course.
Not so seriously, shane, whats wrong with wanting a nice ass? Women also look for some masculine assets I would guess, I mean, at the first sight, dont you agree?
May 26th, 2007 at 1:29 amI agree with that too, Juan. I don’t much care about breasts. A nice ass though. Oooooooo.
May 26th, 2007 at 1:31 amMay 26th, 2007 at 1:32 am
I agree with that too, Juan. I don’t much care about breasts. A nice ass though. Oooooooo.
Comment by JPark
I recently applied a poll with my fellas at the lab, like 8 guys. Only one said that he liked breasts more than ass, and just one answered that he liked the two assets…kind of optimistic.
May 26th, 2007 at 1:34 amOk, im off. I have practice tomorrow morning. Take care, folks.
May 26th, 2007 at 1:35 amNight Juan.
May 26th, 2007 at 1:41 amThis is another way of asking: “Who is lazier: Blacks or Latinos?”.
The morons at CNN cannot wrap their little minds around the fact that people will work hard at their jobs if they’re happy, and like what they’re doing regardless of skin color.
“Out in the open” is code talk for “I am a bigoted fool but am too coward to admit it”. There is that so-called liberal media for ya. And think I used to regard CNN highly.
Thank goodness for “the internets”.
May 26th, 2007 at 1:45 amTest
May 26th, 2007 at 1:47 amKyra Philips…big f-cking surprise there. CNN and their armchair eugenics….Christ, it never ends.
May 26th, 2007 at 2:04 amWhose TV news reporters are more incompetent: CNN or Fox News?
May 26th, 2007 at 2:29 amWhich network is more bigoted?
May 26th, 2007 at 7:25 amHaving lived my teens into adulthood in the 60’s in Alabama in the middle of the Civil Rights movement, I am so reassured to see we have come so damn far in ending blind, facile racism in our society. Good job, CNN. Hang in there. With Nancy Grace and Glenn Beck on your Headline News piece of crap network, and this on CNN, can ratings improvements be far behind?
May 26th, 2007 at 7:38 amRacism of the vilest kind. What is wrong with CNN?
May 26th, 2007 at 8:02 amTHIS IS SICK AND BIGOTED!!!!
BTW: The answer is Latinos on average depending on where they’re from.
May 26th, 2007 at 9:16 amAll you have to do is stop watching cable news. And ask retail shops and restautants to stop leaving their channels on CNN and FOX.
May 26th, 2007 at 9:44 amSo now CNN has not only adopted the Fox “ask it as a quetion to place it deeper within their tiny minds” technique, Yup, CNN is doing the Administrations bidding on “Divide and Conquer.” production line. These kinds of “questions” are designed to divide Americans. This country has been taken over by bad men and these bad men are in bed with the ones that own CNN, NBC, ABC,FOX etc. These men want you with no health care so you’re weaker and easier to handle, ignorant of what is really going on, and fightiing with each other so you don’t come after THEM. Time to wake up folks.
May 26th, 2007 at 9:55 amCan anyone name who the executive producers and managers are at CNN and what ethnicity and political affiliation they are?
May 26th, 2007 at 9:57 amBlack-Latino Challenge: the reality show that almost writes itself. Yes, America, we can sink lower!
May 26th, 2007 at 10:16 amActually, the news media isn’t pitting these groups against each other, they already are against each other. “L. A. Times” has run several articles on the Mexican Mafia executing blacks (young girls) in drive-by shootings because Mexicans don’t like blacks. But, let’s not be racist and advocate forcing Mexicans to follow the law on order to come into the U. S.
Southern Poverty Law Center corroborates the reports. How’s that racist argument working for ya now?
May 26th, 2007 at 10:25 amNo problem as the Bush policy takes hold. Monica let Americans know during the hearing who gets jobs even in civil service. As it stand minorities need not worry their not on Bush’s list of employment. Now yes a few yes people and the left overs from the Clintons years. But as the Bush policy takes hold and immigrants are sent back to Mexico. We will start at the beginning of what was used to make this country great. Slaves to work for nothing and poor whites that can’t have an American Dream. Yes the Bush twins will be find and have all the drugs they need.
May 26th, 2007 at 10:42 amParis will no longer have to worry about going to jail for crimes. The laws will only be for non rich.
Paula Zahn is mysteriously out this week; and recent news about the sagging ratings kinna makes one suspicious that she may not be coming back at all.
Maybe she’ll be replaced by Nancy Grace once her gig at Court TV is over.
May 26th, 2007 at 11:05 amThey both work harder than Congress!
May 26th, 2007 at 11:12 amWell I suppose work ethic is hard coded in DNA now. All these advancements are so hard to keep up with.
May 26th, 2007 at 11:36 amHow about adding whites to the equation. I’m fairly sure that we would find that whites would win as the laziest of the bunch. But, one would have to ask what is their version of lazy. Do they think someone is lazy because they don’t make lots of money, or do they think someone is lazy because they don’t work hard at physical labor.
This segment is an embarrassment to CNN who likes to call themselves a news channel.
May 26th, 2007 at 11:44 am“Hard” subjective and is in the eye of the beholder. Besides, any claims based on race is by definition racist. It is especially bad to pit one minority race against another.
This is just another case of hateful people attempting to stir up the pot. The story here is the messenger and the message is one of hate. There is no other message.

May 26th, 2007 at 2:37 pmBlacks & Latinos, please don’t fall for the “willie linch” syndrome. The white man is truly the devil. They are just afraid that one day blacks & latinos will “band” together against them.
May 26th, 2007 at 3:22 pmActually, the news media isn’t pitting these groups against each other, they already are against each other. “L. A. Times†has run several articles on the Mexican Mafia executing blacks (young girls) in drive-by shootings because Mexicans don’t like blacks. But, let’s not be racist and advocate forcing Mexicans to follow the law on order to come into the U. S.

————————————————————————————–
That racist argument is still racist, teak.
May 27th, 2007 at 11:08 amLet me expand on this. Not only is the argument still racist, but if you can take the fact that young girls of any race have been gunned down for any reason, and use it as part of a smirky, gloating taunt, then you are a true psychopath.
May 27th, 2007 at 11:26 amI have a question for CNN. Have you lost your freakin minds? What’s your next question going to be, how’s got bigger balls? Maybe the people at CNN don’t have anything better to do than to come up with dumb ass questions.
May 27th, 2007 at 10:49 pmI swear, if I didn’t actually see a capture of it, I wouldn’t have believed it.
