Fox sucks. These unbelievably stupid actions are proof that IQs are falling drastically in the west.
The only decent Fox person is Mollie Hemingway and Lou Dobbs. Maybe Charlie Hurt.
I guess no one will be using the term flea-bitten varmint, either.
Hereafter blacks are banned from using the word Cracker. It is a racial pejorative

Kennedy, just yesterday after the President’s speech, called her self ‘the creamy center of this oreo cookie’ . . .
She was interposed between a white commentator and a black one.
Still employed.
I watched this live, turned to my wife and said we just witnessed history because I knew FOX would be forced into doing something. Almost immediately following the comment Ed Henry said he did not approve of the saying on his show. BTW, the Black guy he was debating was clearly not too bright, way left on the bell curve so to speak.
We live in a strange world. People create videos of beheading the US president, and they star in the video is unrepentant. But a person uses a phrase by accident and loses their job. A US Congresswoman calls for violence against the President and his administration, and the press says “oh well, no big deal”
this was my understanding as well. The first syllable sounds enough like “God” that you could start to say God-damn, but then shift mid phrase to Cot-ton Picking. In the same way that Gee Whiz! is a substitute for Je-sus. There are others of course.
Still, it;s the kind of thing that perhaps you just don’t use on television generally anyway. Especially to an African American guest. Seems like an appropriate time to call it a microaggression.
Fox just became Slaves to the Plantation of silliness. They are Chained To political correctness now, which will Whip them. Things are looking Dark for them, and they are now on the Porch, Monkeying around with things that will not Well-Fare.
Is “ cottin picking “ a saying that only pertains to one people or did all people cotton pick?
He should have called him a nose-picker, then everything would be OK...
With pay? If so, that's what I call a vacation.
Damn, I missed one.
Tennessee Ernie Ford would have been banned from TV for life...
His favorite line was “You’re outta your pea pickin’ mind...”
I propose that “Cracker Jacks” stop being sold!!! I am offended by that name!!!
Maybe Fox should suspend anyone who wears cotton clothes around black people too.
I’m about done with FOX
Just a Cotton picking minute!
Wait a cotton picking minute, that's not fair.
