W Kamau Bell Elwood Cafe Racism Incident W Kamau Bell, famed Oakland commedian, was the victim of a racism incident at The Elwood Cafe this week. The full account is at his blog here http://ift.tt/1CQwwJ3 but my video is at once a message to Mr. Bell, and a reaccounting of what happened to him, and something similar that happened to me at the Fiat / Chrysler booth at International CES in Las Vegas here: I'll have to say W Kamau Bell should have used his smartphone to out the person who did this, and embarass the establishment. Having said that, there's so much social media exposure on this, the Elwood Cafe's getting a good dose of that already. The bottom line is institutional racism is as bad as overt racism. Both must be stamped out. Stay tuned.

New Black Pharrell Williams Is The Old Black. The idea of “New Black” as Pharrell Williams and others express it, is really the Old Black. The New Black says, as Williams put it, “The New Black doesn't blame other races for our issues. The New Black dreams and realizes that it's not a pigmentation; it's a mentality. And it's either going to work for you, or it's going to work against you. And you've got to pick the side you're gonna be on." But the bottom line is The New Black is just us responding to a white World around us, and saying 'Ok, white folks, we're not threatening' unlike those other blacks you're used to. And if you think about that, it means one black person putting another black person down before a white audience. That's what the New Black does – but it's not new at all. In my life there have been blacks who commonly put other blacks down in an effort to look more appealing to whites. That's why I just hate this “New Black” idea – it's the crabbarrel all over again. And that's nothing new.

Todd Grantham rejected the Oakland Raiders offer for him to coach as defensive coordinator. He will stay at Louisville. Yea!!! The Oakland Raiders should look for a bright your black NFL level coach who would be a great defensive coordinator.
Oakland Raiders Todd Grantham Defensive Coordinator Update Todd Grantham says that there is nothing to the news that he was feuding with Louisville Head Coach Bobby Petrino. Still, for the Oakland Raiders to offer an NFL defensive coordinator job to the loser of The Belk Bowl 37 to 14 just makes no sense at all.
The Oakland Raiders have reportedly extended an offer to Louisville Cardinals Defensive Coordinator Todd Grantham. The Raiders could have went after former New York Giants Defensive Coordinator Perry Fewell. While the NY Giants were 6 and 10, a large reason for that had to do with Eli Manning's 14 interceptions and 92 passer rating. Moreover Grantham was paid almost $1 million at Louisville. Maybe he has had pro level experience, but Perry Fewell was a better candidate. Todd Grantham is not the college football defensive equal to Chip Kelly. This is another example of why I scream about racism in this process with the Raiders this year. This is terrible.
Marshawn Lynch has been attacked by many traditional media types for not talking to the media. A lot of those who are doing so are black. That is shameful and racist in itself. Some of us are asking him to dance and also asking him to stick his head in the same figurative noose that has hanged his image in effigy already. There are many who seem to have forgot to that he is portrayed as a thug - so why help push a racist stereotype?

Richard Sherman Debates Julie Buehler At Super Bowl Media Day Julie Buehler, my friend who's the host of Buehler's Day Off on KXPS 1010 AM Palm Springs / Palm Dessert, loves to argue – right or wrong, she brings it. (And with me, she's wrong most of the time – that's how I wound-up guest hosting her show two years ago: she lost a bet to me that the Miami Heat were going to beat the OKC Thunder.) But this time my Crossfit friend picked a juicy target in starting a debate with Seattle Seahawks Cornerback Richard Sherman. Sherman took issue with New England Patriots Owner (Chairman and CEO) Robert Kraft, who had a special guest over his house prior to the AFC Championship Game: NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell. Kraft's Patriots went on to beat the Indianapolis Colts in the AFC Championship Game, and also took actions that set the stage for #DeflateGate. Sherman argues that such visits by Goodell are proof that there's what he calls “collusion” and a “conflict of interest” on his part. The one who's considered the NFL's best cornerback contends that the Patriots will never be punished should it come to pass that #DeflateGate was a deliberate act, because of their relationship. Julie Buehler combatively disagrees with this, and had choice words for Sherman prior to her encounter with him at Super Bowl Media Day. Thing is, Richard didn't know about Julie's point of view, let alone Julie. But when his time to come before the media presented itself at Super Bowl Media Day, Julie grabbed the moment, and this, according to blogger John Kryk, at Kryk's Slants is what happened: BUEHLER: Kraft said that you didn’t know enough about that situation, so how much care do you put into your own research for you to state publicly that the commissioner of the NFL has a conflict of interest? SHERMAN: Um, it’s not difficult for me to research. BUEHLER: Did you do any research? SHERMAN: I obviously did. BUEHLER: But you were incorrect about that. SHERMAN: In which way was I incorrect? BUEHLER: You saying Goodell and Kraft have a conflict of interest is like you and (current New England Patriots cornerback and former Seattle Seahawk) Brandon Bowner not being able to talk as former teammates. SHERMAN: That’s a little different. BUEHLER: How so? SHERMAN: I don’t work for Brandon Browner. BUEHLER: (brief pause) SHERMAN: You don’t have anything else? BUEHLER: Oh no, I do. I wonder how much research you do – SHERMAN: But you never answered my — you never (continued) our discussion, you never concluded that, so I don’t work for Brandon Browner, so the point is invalid. (Text of the full exchange at Zennie62.com) And that was the end of that, as Sherman took another question. As Julie's exchange wasn't recorded by NFL Media for posting, this is the only account I've seen other than what Julie will post at some point (the photo has her using her smartphone to record the talk). Thus, the argument didn't blow up in new media terms as much as it would have if the NFL had recorded it. But the main question here is who's right: Richard or Julie. Well, they both are. As one who is the only NFL media person to also have worked to form a bid to bring a Super Bowl to a city, in my case Oakland in 2000 for the 2005 Super Bowl (we lost to Jacksonville), I can tell you the way the NFL works, and has worked, is that while the Commissioner is the organizational hub and spoke of the league, he also serves at the pleasure of the group of NFL owners that govern it. So Roger, like Paul Tagliabue and Pete Rozelle before him, has to walk a very fine line. Its important that he work to maintain relationships with his 32 bosses, and yes, that does call for being a visitor to their homes should the opportunity present itself. Such actions are not uncommon in NFL history, and never have been. So there is collusion between the Commissioner and the owners, and Goodell does have better relationships with some owners than others. But that's not a conflict of interest, and it shows that Sherman, who's employed by the NFL, really doesn't understand how it works. Julie was right to challenge Sherman on this, but she was wrong to argue that collusion, while not illegal in this case, does exist. There are secret meetings and collaborations – it's called NFL politics. Stay tuned.

Jay Cutler Lacks Martellus Bennett's Support On ESPN Jay Cutler does not have the support of his tight end Martellus Bennett. Given the chance to offer words of support for his quarterback on the ESPN show His and Hers, Bennett opted to say that players don't stay with one team and that Cutler's fate was with new Chicago Bears head coach John Fox. He said nothing in praise of Jay Cutler. If Cutler doesn't have the ringing endorsement of players like Bennett it looks like he will have a hard time getting it from John Fox.

No Marshawn Lynch Super Bowl Media Day Transcript. Seattle Seahawks Running Back Marshawn Lynch had only one thing to say for Super Bowl Media Day: "I'm just here so I won't get fined." In fact he said that one thing 30 times. So, it should come as no surprise that the NFL Media Department totally ignored making and posting a transcript of what Lynch said. That's too bad. They should have made it as a kind of running joke. I'd like to read him saying "I'm just here so I won't get fined" 30 times! Too funny. Stay tuned.

But Zoe is upset because Google called her and asked her to join YouTube Music Key, or risk losing her Partner channel. But she has to look at it from YouTube's point of view: they are paying her and they're not really going to take her channel away, just ask her to start one that's not a Partner channel. I think that's not only reasonable, but Zoe will make more money under the new YouTube Music Key program. Zoe should give it a go.

Rob Moore - Oakland Raiders Hire Black Receivers Coach. Rob Moore is the Wide Receivers Coach for the Oakland Raiders. Coach Moore comes to Oakland from the Buffalo Bills. And before that he was receivers coach with Syracuse for four years. With Moore, Bernie Parmalee, and Marcus Washington, the Raiders Coaching Staff is beginning to look diverse and the defensive coordinator job is still open. I have to note that Rex Ryan has assembled a coaching staff that is a good model for diversity, with its defensive coordinator as Dennis Thurmond, the legendary Dallas Cowboys defensive back. I really would like to see the Oakland Raiders match the NY Jets.

Sal Suneri - Oakland Raiders Add Another White Guy To Coaching Staff The Oakland Raiders parade of middle aged white coaches continues with the addition of Sal Suneri. Mr Suneri was most recently the defensive ends coach at Florida Sfate before talking the undefined role with the Raiders. But the real story is that with Head Coach Jack Del Rio, Offensive Coordinator Bill Musgrave, Special Teams Coach Brad Seely, Offensive Line Coach Mike Tice, and Mike Smith expected to be interviewed, the Raiders are on course to have the less race and age diverse coaching staff in the NFL My bet is the Raiders hire a black guy as running backs coach - the age old racist habit. I hope I am wrong.

YouTube Interview With President Obama Starts Soon. I am interested to see how YouTube Stars who don't cover politics or The White House or are on the White House Press List handle this. I think YouTube should have asked long time YouTubers like me. Stay tuned.
Oakland Real Estate - Oakland Homes For Sale - Sticker Shock. The homes for sale in Oakland and listed online will give you sticker shock. Some of them at close to a million dollars but look like they should be priced at half that amount. The average Oakland home price was just under $400,000 in the brief search that I conducted. This is a great window to the engine that drives demographic change: housing prices. But my question is how many will be able to afford their Oakland homes after five years in them. We shall see.

Hey CNN, YouTube Ignored Political Vloggers For Obama Interview Hi Rosemary, Errol, and Jake, I just watched Mr. Tapper's great piece on the YouTube Stars who will be interviewing President Obama. I must inform you that YouTube has given up on promoting political vloggers, who should be in the room with The President. Not to "hate" on the talented vloggers who are going, but I am on the White House Press List and have covered two Democratic National Conventions, and two Presidential Inaugurations. All this and more and yet YouTube did not contact me. Moreover, the Young Turks, the largest news and politics channel on YouTube at 1.7 billion views, was not contacted either. (My Zennie62 Channel has 60 million lifetime views but I also have an 80 blog network and am on the CNN iReport.) The other point is that many channels have views and subscribers that are inflated far beyond the level where a person should have known of them. It makes it hard to keep up without even considering doing that or joining a network. Then YouTube takes up the work of trying to make the celebrity of its YouTubers match their lofty numbers, and leaves us in further in the background in the process. YouTube should take care of its political vloggers. In many cases we know almost as much about the Obama White House as CNN's beat reporters. Moreover, YouTube would be seen as putting a serious foot forward, just as it did when it worked with CNN to produce the CNN / YouTube Democratic Debates that I was on in 2007. Someone at CNN should ask YouTube why it's ignoring it's political vloggers. Thanks!

Andrew Luck First Pick In 2015 Pro Bowl Draft. Andrew Luck, Indianapolis Colts QB, is the 1st Pick in the 2015 Pro Bowl Draft. That is an amazing string of firsts and started with Luck being the first pick in the 2012 NFL Draft. He was also the 2014 Pro Bowl Draft number one pick. Luck went to Team Carter, who I think is better than Team Irvin because of Luck and his Colts receiver TY Hilton and JJ Watt.
Reggie McKenzie Oakland Raiders GM To Build Through Draft. The Oakland Raiders GM Reggie McKenzie said last week that he will build the team through the NFL Draft. In spending time with Mr. McKenzie I learned a great deal. Some things that I can't go into and having nothing to do with football strategy at all. Reggie McKenzie has a great way with people. From young players to the media. He measures his worlds carefully and makes sure that he is understood. But with that he is not a stand offish person. I am excited to see how Reggie builds the Oakland Raiders in 2015.
Patriots Cheating Debate Gate: No Super Bowl Punishment. The New England Patriots were found to have deflated 11 of 12 balls used in the 2015 AFC Championship Game against the Indianapolis Colts. The Pats won 45 to 7. The ball problem was discovered after the game and confirmed by the NFL on Tuesday. Some have said the Pats should be disqualified. But an NFL team executive told me that was not going to happen. "No. If the league significantly impacted Pats SB chanced it'd be viewed as excessive punishment. Also risk of being viewed as punishing Pats for past bad deeds for which they were already punished." Stay tuned.

According to ESPN, the New England Patriots were found to have deflated 11 of 12 balls used in the AFC Championship Game against the Indianapolis Colts. Wow. Does that mean the ball was lighter which would impact passing for the Colts? And the Pats are going to the Super Bowl? That seems wrong. Just wrong.
