"Frederick says he feels the Oregonian "developed this meme, which was that they needed an African American woman to run for something ... "

Why, WHY does every single issue lately that has not a shred of evidence that it is about 'race' become about race not because of reality, but because of someone's projected 'feelings'? And then the debate shifts to race.

The word 'racism' is very close to losing all meaning

Fredrick also has a Facebook page for Shield's seat and has had one for a while now. I don't know whether it's a black male thing but it certainly does seem that the Oregonian was very specific in that they ignored mentioning him at all.

Does the Oregonian regularly make endorsements without interviewing all the candidates, or was this a one-off?

Either answer presents more questions.

Ha! Oregonian are hacks. This podunk town. Sigh.

The fact that the Oregonian endorsed Collymore for the House seat is ridiculous on so many levels. First, they endorsed her BEFORE Shields won the Senate seat, meaning there wasn't even a vacancy for his house seat at the time of the endorsement. Second, she is not even running for the House seat. She probably is now, but you don't endorse for someone who isn't even running for something yet.
Oregonian, YOU SUCK.

I'm not sure the word meme means what he thinks it does.

Please wait...
