ABC/The View Responds to the DL Black Men and HIV Drams


Not much was said to be real about it:
ABC responded with this statement to CNN: “ On June 22, during a discussion about blood donation and the transmission of HIV/AIDS, a guest moderator on the show expressed his interpretation of data about one way the virus can be transmitted. The topic of HIV/AIDS has been raised many times over the show’s 13 years, with many voices and opinions contributing to a conversation that we expect to continue as long as The View is on the air.”

This ain't an apology, this is just a broke statement.

>a guest moderator<

Why don't they get an expert if they want to have this discussion.

Typical non-apologetic apology.

Is it just me or does Whoopi's head look Photoshopped onto that body?

Also, agree with you Victor. Saying a whole lot of nothing!

Is it just me or did that read like a big "Fuck you!"

This really isn't saying much, is it?

In other words they are ambivalent about the outrage of D.L. "high school dropout" Hughley and Shirley "Tazmanian Devil" Shepherd's statements about black SGL/gay-bisexual males along with the "downlow behavior"...

This statement changes the way false information was presented.
Tazy (I like Kayman's descriptions) Shepherd and the Drop out Hughley presented the info as if it were fact. They were presented as opinions.

Yes, Kwan it does look like Whoopie's head was added in editing.
