CNN reported on a Pennsylvania lady who at 103, is still driving. To make it even better it’s a Cadillac and it’s one of those old land yachts we remember as kids. But boy is it well kept. This distinguished, well dressed, Black woman was shown getting in her car, dressed to the nines in her white suit, every hair in place, tooling around town. What music did CNN decide to play in the background for this story? None other than a Coolio song with the N word in it!
 
Why should this fine woman be subjected to this kind of treatment? If they wanted to be cute they could have used Natalie Cole’s Pink Cadillac! Its lively and appropriate. But NO they had to us the gangsta type music for this woman! A woman who went through all the civil rights fights and I am sure she can tell tales from her family about slavery. What was CNN thinking!
