I stopped watching television media several years ago, just as an attempt to control my blood pressure. I realized that the 24-hour news cycle had no choice but to bring people on to tell people what to think of the news rather than just report the news. So, much like my avoidance of all commercials, I avoid all television media. More to the point, I get 99% of my news from the internet.

The other 1% has come from NPR. I have grown a bit leery of it recently, but I have been trying to give it a chance.

Today, that ends. Let me tell you why.

I know this has been discussed ad nauseum here and everywhere else. But, there is one aspect of the Reverend White clips that I have not seen anyone else note. If anyone here has, please forgive me.

To get this out of the way, I am a white woman in my early 30s. I am skeptical of organized religion because I have seen it do so much harm. I do consider myself a deist, though.

That being said, I am not really writing this because I want to chime in on whether or not Reverend Wright was wrong in saying what he said.

I just wanted to admit that I like listening and watching the clip of Reverend White's sermon.
