C.D. - CPD & the Black Community - The "Islamophobic" Comments by Bill Maher

ASA,

Please join us on Critical Discourse, Saturday, November 28, 2015, where we will review the following:

1) The shooting last year, indictment this year, in wake of the shooting death of a black man in Chicago

a. was it wise to reveal the video to the public, NOW?

b. why [again] do black lives ONLY seem to matter, when police or white citizens kill black people?

c. Is the charge of 1st-degree murder, a "way out" for the prosecution?

2) Bill Maher's comments about Muslims, Al-Islam and our relationship to religion in general

a. Have any, among the Muslim leadership, referred to his comments as "hateful" or "Islamophobic"?

b. If not, could the fact that Maher is liberal, supporter of Obama (reportedly, donated $1,000,000 to his 2012 presidential re-re-election campaign), have anything to do with this?

c. To that end, what would have the reaction been, had such comments been made by Ben Carson, Donald Trump or Rush Limbaugh

d. Why has Bill Maher become a "hero" of sorts, to the conservative media block?

3) Election 2016

 a. Why have Ben Carson's 1st and 2nd place leads, diminished?

 b. Is there a possible "Million-Man-March" factor?

c. Does he have "the complextion to make the connection" with the black community (i.e., is he too dark-skinned)?
