A down to earth commentary on the rediculous, the irritating and the outragous in the arena of politics and issues today. When political actions and words make you want to say "what?"

Is it me or is there a deliberate attempt to block out and hide black athletes taking part in the Winter Olympics? I know there are some black athletes participating but you never see them on camera. For decades now, the Winter Olympics has been seen very few black athletes. For those who make it to the game they are barely seen on camera as if they don't exist even when they are part of a team. Is this deliberate or just an innocent omission?
CBC Cameramen cropping out black athletes?
I was just watching the 4-man bobsled competition at #peyongChang2018. Of course it is tough to tell who is on the team but I was alarmed to see the effort the cameraman from CBC Canada went to in order to cut out the black faces on the Canadian bobsled team during a #CBC interview. The picture of the white bobsledder being interviewed was so radically cropped just to exclude the other members of the team who were black. Eventually toward the end of the interview, the cameraman included the rest of the team briefly. I wonder if someone noticed the omission and told him to.
