Al Sharpton to Host Sunday Morning Talk Show
And why not. With the turmoil of change over the past year or so with the hosts of ABC and NBC’s Sunday morning shows. Combine that with CBS not making any significant moves to challenge the front runner and with Fox offering nothing more than a blip, the Reverend Al Sharpton is throwing his cloth in to the Sunday morning talk show mix.
Now peep this. No disrespect to any of the current Sunday morning shows on these networks but none of them is hosted by an African American. Not only that but the only time when a black guest is on from the political arena there’s always something President Obama said that motivates the producers of these shows to call the only black spokesperson in the African American community.
Jesse Jackson.
Jesse Jackson ain’t the spokesperson for black people anymore if you don’t already know that. Neither by the way is Bill Cosby but producers just can’t seem to stop booking them.
The new show will be called ‘Education Superhighway,’ a thirty minute program that is already cleared in over 15o markets. The basis of the discussion during Sharpton’s show will focus on issues dealing with education which none of the other Sunday morning shows even thinks is problematic.
Like that big word? Problematic!
Well when you stop smirking at my awful humor just think about this. In the State of Texas, only 50% of the kids in high school will graduate this year. In New York the graduation for black males is 28%. And the United States, which was first in industrialized nations for college graduates doesn’t even make the Top 10. We’re like 14 or 15.
Guests already lined up to be on the show include Bill Gates who already understands the issues of education in the country, Newt Gingrich who worked with Sharpton on an education initiative pitched to President Obama and Education Secretary Arne Duncan.
