Jamilah Lemieux: How Willing Would People Be To Turn Backs on Cosby If He Supported Black Lives Matter?
Ebony magazine Senior Editor Jamilah Lemieux questioned if people would be more willing to turn their backs on Bill Cosby if he “didn’t have that sort of respectability politics” and instead supported the Black Lives Matter movement on Wednesday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “Rachel Maddow Show.” After guest host Melissa Harris-Perry declared, “we were ultimately more interested as a people, not just black folks, as Americans, in preserving this image, this imagined notion of Bill Cosby, than in understanding actual women’s experiences and allegations.” Lemieux said, “I can’t help but to wonder, say if Mr. Cosby didn’t have that sort of respectability politics, you know, heavy-handed against single mothers, and complicated-sounding names and wearing your pants low, and listening to hip hop, say that wasn’t who he was.

Carson: US Needs To Train Syrians in Saudi Arabia, Jordanian Refugee Camps to Fight Islamic State
Republican presidential candidate Dr. Ben Carson argued the US should train Syrians in Saudi Arabia and Jordan to fight ISIS, but that he would send US boots to fight ISIS “if necessary” on Wednesday’s “On the Record” on the Fox News Channel. Carson said, “we need to declare war on the Islamic State. This is a serious issue. And that way the people who aid and abet them will be traitors. I think people will think twice about it at that point. I think we also need to establish a leadership position with the coalition that we’re calling for, not leading from behind, but leading from the front, in every way. Because I think many of the Islamic states down there are a little bit concerned about whether we will stick with them when things get hairy.” He was then asked if that would include boots on the ground. Carson responded, “It would include boots on the ground if necessary. But the way you determine whether boots on the ground are necessary is by defining your goals, and then talking to your military experts and asking them what do they need in order to accomplish that goal.
