So now I have to listen to Tom Joyner's mouth tomorrow
I was really disappointed in Tom Joyner today. A man called into his show, and he said he liked Obama, but there were some concerns he expressed about him.

And Tom Joyner said that "If Obama wins tonight, all you black people not supporting him shut up."

I just thought that was really rude of him.

Guess I'll be boycotting his show tomorrow so I don't have to hear his mouth.

2. I fucking hate that damn attitude...
Edited on Thu Jan-03-08 09:46 PM by MadMaddie
it is America Joyner we can support whoever the hell we want....

This is the same attitude that got * elected...well he is a Christian we have to vote for him....

Just because he is black doesn't him make him the Black People's obligation to vote for him...

Last time I checked Tom Joyner doesn't speak for me or the entire black population.

3. I met Tom Joyner
He was very kind and generous. He took a little radio show from Texas and took it national. I dig the guy.

5. Maybe he is a nice guy ....but spreading that attitude that
Black people should support anyone that is black....

Is like Black people should support Condi Rice because she is black.

Isn't there something wrong with that?

6. Why don't you ask Mr. Joyner?
Edited on Thu Jan-03-08 10:04 PM by blogslut
I believe he takes calls on his program.

Me, I haven't listened to radio years. All I am saying is he was known as a supportive fellow when he had his show in Dallas. He gave a lot of breaks to a lot of people. He was as at home in a punk bar as he was in a funk bar.
