A guest on Sean Hannity’s Fox News program declared that Idaho, Utah and Wyoming are racist states where black people aren’t welcome. The outrageous comments were made by black civil rights attorney Leo Terrell, who verbally sparred with Hannity and Crystal Wright, editor of Conservative Black Chick. Terrell said the fact that African-Americans make up less than two percent of the population in Idaho and Utah indicates that black people are not welcome there.
“Idaho and Utah, they don’t promote blacks to go to those states. We have private clubs that are all-white and a housing pattern that is all-white,” said Terrell. “People like me can’t go to Idaho and Wyoming. They are apartheid states. How many blacks are in Idaho? [They] do not encourage blacks to live there.
Both Hannity and Wright laughed at the absurdity of Terrell’s statement. “You’re telling me a black person can’t go to Idaho today because, what, they’re gonna be killed or lynched?” asked Wright. “You sound ridiculous. You’re perpetuating these lies like Reverend Jesse Jackson Jr.”
Terrell accused Wright of being “one of those typical Fox commentators” and taking “talking points” from Hannity before the conversation begin. But perhaps most shocking was that Terrell said that the country was in a better position than it was six years ago because of Obama.
“This country has taken a step ahead,” declared Terrell. “I can believe now that any person, regardless of color, can become President of this country.”
““I can believe now that any person, regardless of color, or lack of a sound mind...can become President of this country.””
Terrell is kind of an oddball. He’s gotten into some public fights with the ACLU and NAACP for opposing Bush nominees for no reason other than Bush appointed them.
Apparently he’s a full on racist who would vote for a black republican if the democrat candidate were white.
from the headline I thought they had found a real live white racist but nope, just your normal run of the mill black racist
“Civil rights” attorney Leo Terrell, is a racist, extortionist, lowlife dirtbag ghetto-rat. Stay in hell where you belong, scumbag!
Why does Hannity engage these leftist nutballs? Rush does the smart thing and ignores them. Why waste your time?
Leo Terrell always seems like he is about to bust a gasket.
This is probably news to Mia Love.
Sean should have asked Leo how his buddy OJ is doing..I Hear he isn’t doing too well in the pokey..awwwwwwwwww so sad
Leo is outrageous because he likes his check.........
It may be kinda like what Don Corleone said in the Godfather, “I keep my friends close, and my enemies closer”. Seems like Hannity lets these nutjobs on his show from time to time to let them expose themselves for the morons they are. If someone wants to make an ass of themselves, stand back and let it happen.
Leo Terrell has been covering a criminal case in Orange County and talking with Larry Elder on his show. His coverage has actually been fairly professional. His bias occasionally shows through but overall he has not been the usual racist firebrand. I’d like to think that he is mellowing with age. But I don’t.
Terrell is a racist bomb thrower from way back. Used to see him throw his molotovs on Geraldo’s biased show during the OJ trial. Terrell wouldn’t go to those three states because living there requires a modicum of self reliance, a strong work ethic and ordinary common sense.
I must agree. This country under Obama's Regime has taken a step ahead.
Unfortunately for those of us with brains and eyes can see that this nation is headed towards a cliff. Forward progress means nothing without proper direction. Power is nothing without control.
12,765. Someone should teach this guy how to use the internet.

I can believe now that any person, regardless of citizenship, can become President of this country.”
fixed it.
Actually he is right. Racism is still very much part of the Utah and LDS culture. Why do you think Mia Love didn’t win? She was a Black LDS woman running against a White LDS male.
“Idaho and Utah, they don’t promote blacks to go to those states”
What a dumb comment!
The several time I’ve seen him, he’s screaming, waving hands/fists and/or storming off sets or radio programs. He should be on a permanent Lithium & Thorazine IV drip.
