That's the problem with journalists, when they get TOO close, to those they are supposed to investigate! You've lost me to Gwen Ifill forever! To look at Gwen, right off, you'd say, oh, an African-American! Wrong! She's from the Caribbean and not African American in the truest sense! Just as all whites aren't from England, the same goes for Blacks, as was the case with Colin Powell, whose parentage is also from the West Indies. Things just aren't what they seem. In the fight for civil rights, Gwen and Colin were absent on the picket lines, but take advantage of any gains American Blacks have achieved.
