During the September 21 broadcast of his nationally syndicated Fox News Radio show, while discussing recent events surrounding the so-called Jena Six with the show's executive producer, known on air as "Angry Rich," John Gibson asserted that the demonstrators who gathered last week in Jena, Louisiana, only "wanna fight the white devil." Gibson aired news coverage of the Jena 6 protests and challenged protestors' claims that the incidents in Jena are representative of ongoing racism in this country. He said: "hat they're worried about is a mirage of 1950s-style American segregation, racism from the South. They wanna fight the white devil. ... here's no -- can't go fight the black devil. Black devils stalking their streets every night gunning down their own people -- can't go fight that. That would be snitchin'."

3. he's mocking malcolm x. i seem to recall that malcolm used to refer

to whites as white devils.

when a white man says black demonstrators are gathered to fight the white devil it sounds to me as though he is mocking a very relevant piece of history in this country but also mocking the demonstrators

hey, gibby--you're a complete fucking loser!
