Podcast Episode #002 - The Slave Catcher: Have black folks been too hard on James T. Harris?

The blogosphere, talk radio and all the media outlets have been buzzing about the controversial comments made by James T. Harris (an African American man) at a McCain rally in Waukesha, Wisconsin. This man has been dubbed as "The Slave Catcher" by The Field Negro and others.

Due to the outpouring of comments from people (especially black folks), we've decided to dedicate an hour to answering the question, "Have black folks been too hard on The Slave Catcher aka James T. Harris?"

Antoinette (of the I am a PC blog) was invited to join The Chics for this discussion, and you won't want to miss this!
