In what could be a hilarious ONION piece, FOX ‘News’ hosts who refuse to admit the Charleston shooting of nine black Americans by a white supremacist, was a racist act; are affecting great umbrage after hearing a black president use the “N word” in an articulate and well-thought out discussion about racism. Excuse me, according to Fox ‘The Rapper-in-Chief’ used “gutter language.”
By all accounts the podcast discussion between Obama and comedian Mark Maron was far-reaching and enlightening, but some can’t get past the Fox-level of finger pointing. After introducing the host’s name incorrectly twice, the Fox Fools played the most important part of the exchange between Obama and Maron.
“Racism, we’re not cured of. And it’s not just a matter of it not being polite to say ‘black’ in public.” Said Obama. ” That’s not the measure of whether racism still exists or not. It’s not just a matter of overt discrimination… Societies don’t, overnight, completely erase everything that happened 200 to 300 years prior.”
It certainly seems appropriate in this context…But then there’s Fox.
“He doesn’t just say ‘n-word,’ he actually uses the word,” Doocy explained to viewers, in case they didn’t get it yet, predicting that “people will be talking about whether or not it’s appropriate for the president to use the ‘n-word’ and whether or not it is beneath the dignity of his office.”
Any takers? I’m willing to bet that all three of these clowns were the first to raise their hands when the teacher had to leave the room, and asked one brown noser to write down the names of anyone who talked while she was gone.
