Yes, you are suggesting exactly that. You don't want anyone to cover NewMe because there are bigger, similar organizations around such as Startup School and Y-Combinator. CNN's reason for covering NewMe is obviously because NewMe is focused on minority-led businesses and CNN wanted to do a piece on minority-led businesses. It would be irrational for CNN to do a piece on minority-led businesses and either exclude NewMe and/or focus on Y-Combinator. You've failed to demonstrate in any way how CNN creating a piece on minority-led businesses is inherently bad. You've certainly failed to demonstrate that CNN did that for the "whole purpose" (your words) of playing the race card. Discussing race is not playing the race card, sorry.

Ha! I have to say it is hilarious that you can- with presumably a straight face-- tell me "exactly" what I'm saying, and that I don't "want anyone to cover NewMe". LOL. I could have put NewMe in that list with the other incubators I gave, and though the sole reason for me mentioning the others was to bring them in line with NewMe as examples of things that CNN should cover simply because they are the few shining lights of capitalism in this country... leaving it out gave me the opportunity of seeing you lie, to my face, about not only what I said, but what I meant. I do think it is unfortunate that people these days feel so little need-- as you obvious do-- to stick to the truth. And I remain perplexed that you could tell a lie like this, in public, right below where I say what I actually said, and apparently without any shame. But as a consolation prize, at least I get to be amused by it. So, carry on, it's obvious that the discussion you're having has no need of my participation, nor would it be affected by it.

  If I have mischaracterized what you believe, perhaps you should select your words to more accurately convey what you believe. I described the words in your post, not the thoughts in your head.

  Yet at the end of the day, Arrington was still unable to answer the question.
