    How's that conservative "inclusiveness" been working out?

    A white nationalist displayed a toddler-like tantrum on his conservative show because he didn’t want to see Black people at the Country Music Awards. Patrick Howley, the right-wing reporter, first proved his ignorance when he failed to recognize the host of the show, Anthony Mackie.

    “I don’t know who this Black guy is who’s hosting it. It’s supposed to be country music,” the bitter white man said as he showed a clip of the award show to his viewers. “No offense. Y’all have hip hop, basketball. Just fly with your flock, bro.”

    I'll give him this..........he's not of these "I have black friends so I'm not racist" type rightwingers. He's just upfront about his racism.

    Very similar to the reaction Dems have when ever a Black person shows up at Republican events, huh?

    Or democrats if they see too many white people at anything. Because they all feel that the country is suddenly half black.

    It's a dumb comment, but I'd imagine there would be a similar reaction if Miranda Lambert was hosting the BET awards.

    Country music is not exclusively white, it never should be, and black people have played a huge role in the shaping of all folk music in this country.

    I'm sorry, maybe you confused me with another poster. No where did I state it was exclusively white, but you are free to create your own arguments.

    That's because he probably isn't very racist.

    Further .. the only people I encounter who buy into the whole 'black friends' thing, are Progressives.

    If the tweet is actually his, then yes, he's an extremely racist asshat.

    Can you bring yourself to condemn the statements made in the actual topic? Yes or no?

    Sure. He was being divisive, bigoted and hateful...lumping a person into a race category instead of an individual human being. That is terrible and wrong. But he isn't a danger. He's a nuisance.

    There has been a push to teach that type of thing systematically in schools....and frankly labeling people by race and teaching a divisive race based curriculum in schools is MUCH more dangerous then some unknown jerk who I doubt anyone on this forum knows.

    Seeing people of the opposite race is often unsettling to some people, Mooch was upset by all the old white people in the room and Oprah Winfry wanted old white people to die. Im sure both of those women biological units know how this reporter feels and share his concern.

    That puts me in the company of Mooch and Winfrey. Hey, the sun is starting to get strong here in southern New Mexico and my tan is looking really good. At what point will I be considered to be brown? How dark do I have to get in order to get you and your everything is racist attitude off my back?

    If I remember correctly, there was a black NYT reporter that set up a "library" outside of her home and got outraged when she saw a white couple visiting it. There are stupid people everywhere.

    It sounds like you have something in common with him.... You both like to stereotype groups with a large brush. Congratulations you and he have common ground!

    Can we expect a third thread on this anytime soon?
