Fox Reporter's Racist Tweet: "Blacks Riot At Burger King"

M. Welker wasn't wondering what some random people on the internet wrote. He was wondering what Todd Starnes wrote. So you're wrong.

...and the entire native population of North America at the time were at war with each other, practicing ritual torture on each other & had the institution of slavery

...and the existence of slavery in 1800's could not have existed without the will help of African tribal leaders who sold their war captives to slavers who brought them to the US & elswhere

If you are going to paint people with the sins of their fathers then put it in context. War, conquest & slavery were practiced by all nations who thought they could get away with it. That doesn't make it morally sound but it's the way it was.

Yep.

You can draw the conclusion that racism is alive and well but that takes individual responsibility out of the discussion. The question should be why can't black males integrate into society. Blaming racism creates a sense of exoneration for bad deeds performed by blacks. Crying racism all of the time isn't helping the problems we face, it is just another attempt to stop meaningful discussion. In other words you are the problem not the solution.

Doesn't matter, were those incidents noted as being "white bombers"?

The point is that the use of the word "black" in this tweet was unnecessary, irrelevant and racist on its face. There was absolutely no need for the use of the word. None.

Keep on defending, fairliberal. I'm sure Bill will approve.

Along with those articles I found this one:

Indiana Prosecutor Resigns After Email To Gov Walker Encouraging Fake Violence
By karoli

enlargeFor all the big talk about union thuggery, the strongest evidence of thuggery usually comes from the right wing side of things. And now we have it straight from the horse's mouth...er...email.

WisconsinWatch reported this morning that Carlos Lam, an Indiana prosecutor, denied writing it, though he confirmed the Hotmail address as one belonging to him.

Here's the text of the email:

“If you could employ an associate who pretends to be sympathetic to the unions’ cause to physically attack you (or even use a firearm against you), you could discredit the unions,” the email said.
“Currently, the media is painting the union protest as a democratic uprising and failing to mention the role of the DNC and umbrella union organizations in the protest. Employing a false flag operation would assist in undercutting any support that the media may be creating in favor of the unions. God bless, Carlos F. Lam.”

And here's his oh-so-sincere denial:

“I am flabbergasted and would never advocate for something like this, and would like everyone to be sure that that’s just not me,” he said, after being read the email.

Asked his views on Scott Walker, Lam said, “I think he’s trying to do what he has to do to get his budget balanced. But jeez, that’s taking it a little bit to the extreme,” he said of the email’s suggestion to fake violence. “Jeez!”

Boy I like Fuax's reporting.

Thanks for pointing out Fox's coverage.Sorry I missed seeing any of the 3 you have mentioned it.I certainly saw a lot more coverage on the New Black Panthers and other Muslim bombing stories than on this one or any others involving white home grown terrorists.
I should have said that I didn't see coverage from Fox on that story,so I stand corrected
I still think that Fox covers these stories differently,depending on who is involved..racially and politically.
Fox tries hard to remove any right wing connection when it covers stories like the MLK parade terrorist or the anti tax businessman that crashed a plane into the Texas IRS bldg,or the Holocaust museum shooter.Even Jared Loughner was presented as "left wing" in some Fox stories.Non Christian or Non white descriptions are often headlined ,while white is not used in most similar cases.Did Fox explore how Joe Wilson may have been racist to call the President a liar during a televised SOTU address? Would he have called a white President of any party a liar on live TV?If Fox explored that,I didn't see it.They have often explored racism in Obama and Holder regarding the Justice Dept.Even though the Bush Justice Dept.blatantly almost completely stopped investigating minority discrimination cases while pursuing reverse racism cases more agressively,Fox did not suggest that Bush or his Atty Generals were racist. Fox race baits or allow their guest to do so.They let Glenn Beck just call the President a racist on air with no challenege at all.They defend or fail to challenge Limbaugh,Savage,Dr Laura,Andrew Breitbart,etc when they say racist things.They have called Atty General Holder,Justice Sotomayor racists or failed to challenge people on their shows who did ..like Gingrich,etc.They helped smear Shirley Sherrod.They present every wild unfounded conspiracy theory to support so called reverse racism while seldom if ever condemning racism from conservatives even when well documented (Like Teaparty signs,emails like Carl Paladino's,internet representations like the White house watermelon patch,or racist bill boards,cartoons,etc depicting the Pres and 1st Lady negatively.On the other hand I saw them attack Harry Reid for using the word "negro".I have never heard them condemn Limbaugh for using boy,manchild ,or little black manchild regarding the President.They never condemned any of the awful disrespectful names Limbaugh has called the 1st Lady or Beck's mocking of the Obama girls! Only Huckabee defended the ridiculous attacks on the 1st Lady's healthy eating campaign.Please convince me that Hannity and Palin would have attacked Laura Bush for doing the exact same thing!

Whites riot

Ya thoes happen alot.

I got some huge negatives there!

If you were telling a personal friend in private about this incident, would you word it differently?

Are you white? Just want to know. For the future.
