Fox News host complains he can't make racist comments on the air

[joeybee12]

he discussion of race in America is still a hot topic that many in the media are afraid to touch. When it comes to speaking about issues within the African American community, one white news commentator is not happy that he can't speak his mind.

During the October 19 edition of "Fox and Friends" on Fox News, host Tucker Carlson spoke with Kevin Jackson, the Executive Director of the website "The Blacksphere," whose goal is to "end identity politics, educating with satire and humor." Jackson noted that African Americans have started to shift away from the Democratic party, partly because Republicans have been more welcoming to them than they have been in the past. Carlson pointed to a conversation that he had with an unnamed African American leader who said that the group he disliked the most were "white liberals" because they "patronized" him.

Carlson then noted that many African American Democrats often view the Republican party as "racist," to which Jackson agreed. "That is a meme that is unfortunately permeating through the black community, but you’re starting to see that crack," Jackson pointed out. "Eventually when you've been kept down, and you start seeing the results, eventually you've got to wake up."

The conversation then got even more controversial when Jackson put the blame of violence in the African American community strictly on the door step of "black teens." Jackson said that the "reality" is not the wrong doing of the police, but rather black youth.

2. I googled Kevin Jackson ...

and found something (predictably) odd: He is a Black Conservative whose story has changed ... He was a Black kid being raised by his grand-parents, after the death of his mother (per his website story, re: why he's a conservative) AND he's a "black kid who should have failed but didn’t. The product of a broken home, a deadbeat drug-addicted father and poverty ..." (per his book, sold on his website) ... which makes me think he is the fraud that Mr. Scorpio is talking about when he talks about Black conservatives.

3. Poor Tucker. His bowtie has severely restricted his oxygen intake,

and it appears the brain damage is extensive.

4. Tucker is lying

I would bet my finger that exchange never took place. People do not talk in right-wing talking points.

5. Tucker Carlson?

You mean the bastard son of Joseph McCarthy and Andrew McCarthy?
