Touré Apologizes (Sort of) for His ‘Whiteness’ Remark About Holocaust Survivors
Mediaite ^ | 5/27/14 | Noah Rothman

Posted on 05/27/2014 4:01:05 PM PDT by Impala64ssa

MSNBC host Touré landed in hot water over the weekend when he said that Holocaust survivors were able to rebound so quickly in part due to the “power of whiteness.” Anti-defamation groups took issue with the comment and demanded that Touré apologize.

On Tuesday, the MSNBC host did apologize for his remark, but was careful to note that the nuance of his argument was inhibited by the limitations imposed on Twitter users by the site’s character limit.

Hey, Tourettes, a simple, genuinely contrite, I'M SORRY, fits nicely in a Tweet. It's hell of a lot less than 140 words. Now if only the powers that be at NSNBC grow a pair and give him the Sterling treatment, like that's gonna happen.

It’s not his fault, he’s just pushing the latest White House propaganda.

Nothing this clown has to say is worth listening to - not it’s thoughts on whiteness, and certainly not it’s apology. Next.

I was just called a “north African” by a skinhead.

I wish the racists of all colors would make up their mind about us.

Despising Jews, Anglos and Christians and promoting their hatred is the job of every Democrat. After all, the media heads came out of public schools and then Leftist academia who run the school curriculum.

Why would we expect different?

Mostly, why do we send our own to the same fertilizer mill, but expect our “crop” of kids to be that much different?

I think it was more like the "power of homework."

How does a “Toure” get a job on a major news network?

What’s with the one name? Are we supposed to know who he is? Is he famous enough to go by just one name? And are we supposed to know what he is famous for?

Is he another loud mouth liberal?

The man is on tv, he can use more than 140 characters on tv if he wants.

But really, if it really is the "power of whiteness" that an opressed minority can survive a holocaust, come here, and thrive, then maybe Toure should just give up. Just accept the power of whiteness, give up, go home, there will be a Jew to come a long shortly and give you some intructions on what to do.

He likes "poisoning wells" just for the fun of "poising wells", and then brags about it.

Reading about his then-"reporting" from the rape trial of Tupac Shakur made me feel sorry for Shakur.

Ha Ha! He messed with the Jews. He should learned the lesson: only insult, hector, or disparage Whites. Mess with Whites, have your contract renewed; mess with Jews, lose your job. So many have stumbled at this rather obvious hurdle, I wonder if he will join the fallen.

Who cares what this racist crap-for-brains moron has to say? Nobody is watching anyway.

Every Toure’ I’ve ever heard of was a marxist fanatic.

This guy is just marxist weird.

Affirmative Action.
