March 23, 2011
ATLANTA – ReddingNewsView.com — CBS News’ Byron Pitts today said he was “surprised” to be called the N-word by a black professor during a “60 Minutes” story on “Huckleberry Fin”. David Bradley, who is an associated professor of fiction at the University of Oregon, told Pitts he loves the N-word and supports the word being used 219 times in Mark Twain’s book. Bradley then sought out to prove his love for the word by calling Pitts a “nigger” during Sunday’s segment.
“You’re my nigger, man,” Bradley told Pitts, who was already shaking his head in amazement. “When he kinda went street on me I was surprised,” Pitts told ReddingNewsReview.com. “I wasn’t offended.”

VideoBuzz: Chris Brown Trashes GMA Dressing Room | The AP | #Losing | The Cut with that Brother!
March 22, 2011
Unlike Charlie Sheen, Chris Brown is not #winning, but #losing ground it seems with every step he makes. Chris Brown cut the fool this morning.
At first glance, we had to hate (highly anticipate the error) on his appearance on Good Morning America (GMA). It was purely devoid of media coaching. He slouched in his seat. It was bad before it started. The young man should never interview. Just perform and go. But really, does Chris Brown still need to answer questions about Rihanna? Really? Are we trying to put him in that box with Nelly called “Once upon their greatest hits before the big mistake?”
Brown hasn’t learned to play the game. He’s reached adulthood without a clue. Who’s going to clue him in? Beuller . . . Bueller?
Again, unlike Charlie Sheen, Chris Brown probably won’t be welcomed into major venues. But his fans remain solid awaiting his tweets and action of the day. The big question remains about this young man, how do we tame the tradegy of the talented?
