Well, voting with our ballots doesn’t seem to work. So we vote with our dollars. It’s all the system seems to understand.

You are bang-on. I have been going over this with students these days, because a handful of them seem to think that freedom of speech means you get a forum. Freedom of speech means freedom from political censorship—which means that your government can’t arrest you for simply promulgating an unpopular opinion. But the…

Maher empathized after his own advertising boycott and firing from his ABC News show Politically Incorrect in 2002. The argument:

So pretty much: “Maybe she shouldn’t have said it, but she certainly shouldn’t have suffered any consequences because she did say it!”

Well, he dated Ann Coulter, so yeah.

Ugly truth.

it was made from old harlem globetrotter uniforms.

Actually having had some talks with virulent racists.. I don’t think they feel/think that they are wrong. They feel they are right and keep wondering why others can’t see this, and what the fuss is all about.

Why is Fox obsessed with what Jay-Z had to say? Don’t they usually preach that celebrity opinions are pointless and that they should be ignored?

Whoever timed that screenshot: bravo. There is so much discomfort and agitation in those two. Doocy looks like central casting put out a call for “dour constipated old white man,” while Earnhardt’s hands alone scream anger—if you handed that woman a live kitten, it’d be dead within seconds.

Oh Jay-Z is a distraction all right. Fox News focusing on a rapper’s comments is a distraction from Mr Four Bankruptcies ratcheting up a needless trade war with China, Pruitt’s never-ending scandals at tax payer expense or the Mercers’ and Bannon’s involvement in the Facebook data theft.

Deep inside the mind of the racist in the understanding that they are profoundly wrong and their conduct is condemned by society. They refuse to accept this and that is why they use dog whistles to express their beliefs. White-privilege is a term that came from those sneaky left wing commie liberal elite universities…

Oh, I stay at it and some of them get it. The problem is, half of them are told exactly the opposite at home. They shut down the second anyone brings up issues of racial injustice. I just keep plugging away and hope that I can plant a seed that, one day, will start growing in their minds.

I just Googles “fox and friends cast” and the results were:

Hammer them with enough examples and most concede the point. The problem is introspection isn’t something we encourage these days. It takes work to admit you benefited for no reason and that it’s not an attack on you, but an observation of the reality.

You should try to teach a classroom of white kids about white privilege. Pure blindness.

I am as white as they come, and fairly poor (workingman’s salary), and I have no doubt white privilege is more pervasive today than it ever was.

Fucking Steve Dooky shouldn’t be allow to talk about...well...anything.

I got 99 problems and Faux And Fiends Ain’t one of them.

“Because Jay-Z’s complaining about white privilege, but we had a black president for eight years. Did he do a good job?”
