    "The Voice" ratings will skyrocket.

    Too bad they got rid of the Jamaican woman, mon.

    It's loved almost as much as when Conservatives criticize other Conservatives.

    I call it the Kathleen Parker effect.

    Nicolle Wallace and Steve Schmidt, too.

    Until the last two weeks, white people loved to whack off to Bill Cosby morally scolding deadbeat black dads.

    Fox News used a Hispanic woman. That's gotta count for something. She even called the "unarmed black teenager shot by a white cop" thingamabob a MANTRA meant only to stoke racial tension.

    Anyone want to argue THAT isn't racist?

    “Too many fathers are MIA. Too many fathers are AWOL. There’s a hole in your heart if you don’t have a male figure in the home that can guide you and lead you and set a good example for you.

    “What makes you a man is not the ability to have a child — any fool can have a child. That doesn’t make you a father. It’s the courage to raise a child that makes you a father.”

    ...

    As fathers and as parents, we’ve got to spend more time with them, and help them with their homework, and turn off the TV set once in a while, turn off the video game and the remote control and read a book to your child."

    What a terrible message to send to fathers.

    I bet more white people whack off to Nicole Wallace and Kathleen Parker than Bill Cosby.

    It's not the sentiment that people love. It's that a black man is confirming for them that black men are largely deadbeat dads.

    Wait, so the disproportionate number of children raised by single mothers in the black community isn't a problem?

    The metrics really confirm that. It would be more reliable coming from Nate Silver.

    Right. But, why did white people wack of to it when Bill Cosby said it, but not when the President said it?

    Is it because they believed Cosby meant it, and believe the President doesn't?
