by Carmen Van Kerckhove
A brand-new episode (No. 84) of Addicted to Race is out! Addicted to Race is New Demographic’s weekly podcast about America’s obsession with race.
Carmen and Baratunde discuss discuss the Jena Six case, the recent congressional hearings on hip hop, and Bill O’Reilly’s recent revelations that black people are indeed, normal human beings.
This episode features the song “Mask and the Assassin” from DJ Muggs formerly of Cypress Hill, courtesy of Spectre Entertainment.
Carmen is joined by Baratunde Thurston. Baratunde is a comedian, author and vigilante pundit. He’s been nominated for the Bill Hicks Award for Thought Provoking Comedy, and blogs in several places including the Huffington Post, Jack & Jill Politics and his own baratunde.com. He hates when white people touch his hair.

I am a little upset that you guys would talk about the Megan Williams case getting little coverage and then give it such a short amount of coverage.
I don’t wanna cause a scene but it seems like the way all the other media outlets are treating the case…”Oh that sucks, hmmmm, oh well…”
But yeah, otherwise, great stuff!

Baratunde is fantastic. I promise never to touch his hair if he promises to come back for another podcast.

Baratunde’s frustration about the press coverage that Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson get over Jena 6 (and other events) is understandable, but as he and Carmen said, the press will always find the quotable spokesperson. Lazy, perhaps, but I don’t see it changing any time soon.
