Fox Pundit Cal Thomas Says African American Women are "Angry"
Did anyone else see the clip Dan Abrams played of a Fox pundit characterizing African American women such as Maxine Waters, Cynthia McKinney and local black female broadcasters as "angry". I believe he was speeking of Michelle Obama as well, but I only caught the end. I believe his name is Cal Thomas of Fox News. Not sure, can't find a transcript or video of the encounter.

Please help me find the clip of the video.

13. Well, why don't you do a google search first
and give your readers a reason to doubt his shit?

Otherwise you might be worried what David Duke says on Faux news.

18. Cal Thomas - Local DC Wingnut Commentator
Total a**hole. Are black women angry? Hell yeah! So are white women! And Asian women! And Latinas and Native American women! You're taking our rights away, dammit!

19. Exactly!!....Why did this fool
decide to single out black women? That seems to get lost on some folks. Hell everyone one man, woman and child in this country should be angry.

20. The best advice Cal Thomas and other Republican leaning people can take is to stop digging the hole
Every time someone puts a microphone in their face, they make broad generalizations about people they obviously don't know anything about.

If John McCain doesn't represent all white men regardless of age and disposition, why should Michelle Obama represent all black women, angry or otherwise?


Their bias and lack of interaction is showing.


How much crap do they think we, angry black women, plan to take off Fox?

27. Oh how cute. We're back to the "angry black woman" meme!
Guess I better pull out "Waiting to Exhale." Or better yet, watch "Diary of a Mad Black Woman."

32. Cal Thomas is a Smug Reactionary
Of the worst kind. He's been writing right wing screeds on the editorial pages for years.

But even a wingnut like him gets it right once in a while. I'll bet African American women are angry: I'd question their sanity if they weren't!

Ann Coulter are black? Who knew?

If you're not angry, you're not paying attention.

36. With so many Faux News pundits yammering away, ...
all women, including African American women -- for that matter, all people, male and female, SHOULD be angry.

49. Because it's about Black women, and in the eyes of the so-called...
...feminist movement, Black women don't count and NEVER HAVE COUNTED.

Simple as that.
