as we've been telling Ella, abc's are important.
i need to explain something before i post what i'm about to post. i don't watch bill o'reilly. as i have lamented in the past, we don't have cable so i don't watch much of anything beyond the standards...and a little KET here and there.
having said that, i would like to say on this blackout day that my previous lack of sports has been nicely remedied thanks to the internet. the fact that espn would air a national title game on its cable station instead of its abc counterpart is not my fault. contact your local representatives.
back to foxnews. i have no idea who bernie goldberg is, but this clip had me laughing. here's bill o'reilly educating goldberg on his whiteness and on ice cube.
the best part is that i'm pretty sure bernie, after being corrected, kept calling ice cube "ice q" as though he realized his mistake.
i conclude with the only other thought i had while watching this video. from cube's perspective, the only positive that one can take from this is that goldberg didn't say "one of the iconic figures in african-american culture and music." in the recess of my mind, one of ice cube's lyrics has been lodged for perpetuity... i can only assume his immediate response would have been: "calling me an afircan-american, like everything is fair again. bleeeeeeeep"?
if you want the full context of the clip, here's a link. but the shorter version is more humorous to me.
