Say what you mean, mean what you say!

Discourse can be both powerful and dangerous,Especially in the times in which we live today. Discourse in this age of time has various outlets of communication T.V. radio, newspaper, internet, magazines, cable(stations that focus solely on one particular subject: Nancy Gray, Anderson Cooper etc), in which makes it very easy to miscontrude or contrude something different. Discourse is also dangerous because there are so many different cultures consuming, writing and stating opinions and theorys on various subjects of information in society.Again discourse can be powerful for the same exact reasons then it can be dangerous. For example former President Bill Clinton( A highly regarded person in the Afro-American culture) was asked by a reporter "How do you feel about Barack Obama winning the state of south carolina? (a big delegate state for democrats). Bill Clinton responded, "Even Jesse Jackson when he ran for president won south carolina, but look what happen he didn't win the race."After that comment was made alot of afro-american people felt betrayed. Because berfore Hillary Clinton decided to run for president, Bill Clinton supported Barack Obama when it was just the talk around town that the young U.S Senator was considering running for president. But what people didn't relize is that Bill Clinton was basicaly supporting his wife, like any other red blooded american would. Now the recourse of that misunderstanding can cost her votes in the afro-american community in the long run. That's perfect example in my mind of the powers and dangers of miscontruded information.
