Limbaugh gives me the creeps and it seems strange that CBS is having an ethnic Survival race. How are they picking candidates? Will it be the best all around athletes from each ethnicity? something seems very odd about this. BTW blacks have always done very poorly in swimming competitions at all levels. I have watched competitive swimming for several decades. At high schools with championship teams of black athletes in track and basketball, which have similar conditioning requirements, the swim teams are the worst in the state and it doesn't seem to change through varying generations of coaching, like other schools do. Not prejudice just the facts.

"competition in a new season of CBS' reality TV program Survivor, in which contestants are reportedly divided into competing "tribes" by ethnicity, "is not going to be fair Whether it is fair or not is the least of my concerns. The program, if it airs, will be promoting bigotry. The whole idea of these shows is to get the audience to buy into it by rooting for their favorite team ... in this case, based primarily on race. I am sure it will be a huge ratings booster for CBS and the biggest push to pit races of people in America against each other since the genocidal wars against the Plains Indians. The resulting effects on impressionable youth could be devastating. I will be boycotting CBS.
