I just hate that she is representative o the AA community to the majority. Why do ignorant people always seem to get a platform to spew nonsense

[robert]

Well they had a choice between her Gayle King and Sheryl Ralph among others for the Star Jones seat and they chose a younger ignorant woman like Shepherd. they chose the most ignorant diva they could find

Let me ask you this. Black men contract AIDS at between 8 and 10 times the rate of white men. Why then do black women contract it at between 20 and 23 times the rate of white women? If contracting the disease is directly related to its prevalence among black men, then they should get AIDS at no more than 10 times the rate of white women. So why the difference?
I'll tell you why. A large number of black women are infected by a smaller number of black men. In the black community, the thugs, ex-cons, players, pimps, etc. have a disproportionately large number of black women at their disposal. Black women tend to flock to a small minority of black men and this is why they have the perception of a black male shortage. This minority of black men tend to have a higher risk for HIV infection than the rest.
