Tucker Carlson wrongly tells his viewers the country's white supremacy problem 'is a hoax'
CNN Business ^ | Aug. 7, 2019 | Brian Stelter

Fox's Tucker Carlson is being roundly criticized for claiming that America's white supremacy problem "is a hoax."

It's "just like the Russia hoax," he told his viewers on Tuesday night. "It's a conspiracy theory used to divide the country and keep a hold on power."

This nonsensical claim came after several days of scrutiny of the El Paso suspect's racist views and the forces that may have radicalized him. News outlets have pointed out that some of the anti-immigrant "invasion" language in the manifesto published online shortly before the attack mirrors what is frequently heard on far-right-wing talk shows and websites. And many prominent politicians have warned about the growing threat of white nationalist violence.

Carlson responded in a monologue on Tuesday night. He asserted that "the whole thing is a lie." And he downplayed the threat by saying it's "actually not a real problem in America. The combined membership of every white supremacist organization in this country would be able to fit inside a college football stadium."

Somehow, in liberal minds, that alone proves that we’re all white supremacists.

“You guys look different. You sound different. You do things in a different way. NEUTRAL and yet still frowned upon - here’s where healing starts.”

It can. Tell me more about how you do it and why, and I’ll tell you more about our way of doing it and why, and we’ll understand each other better.

Your different way of doing it is fine, just as long as neitehr of us tries to impose our way on the other.

I’m glad to hear that. Not living in or near the region any longer, it’s tough to know what the mindset there is.

You setting the record straight is a very good thing.

I have family that swears they were treated differently due to race.

When they tell the story is becomes clear it may or may not have actually been about race.

Something as simple as an out of state car license, particularly California could be the real cause of treatment that may be askew.

If it was racism, and it’s a possibility, we spend most of our lives not having to put up with that nonsense.

For the most part, the nation is a lot better than it was in decades past, and it will continue to do better as long as people like Obama and the Left don’t race bait and fan the flames of separatism.

We are one people. Period.

To the victors go the history writings...

I’m sure that if this nation goes down, you and I won’t favor well in the telling.

Another nation, or the Leftists who have taken over will write worse things than they have to date, to justify their treachery.

Kind of humorous, but we’re pretty clear on who is White, who isn’t, and what the differences are.

You know, for the most part people have the same problems around the world. They have to work to make enough to provide for their family. They have the responsibility to raise their children well. They have the same relationship dynamics as well.

Now that’s not to say that there aren’t cultural differences, but we are far more the same than we are different.

There are of course exceptions, and I think we know who those groups are. Some of it goes back to the 6th Century and beyond.

The point is, we have much more in common that we don’t have in common.

Sadly the same folks who demand diversity, do their best to divide us based on... yep diversity.

I don’t harbor support for anyone to have a reduced set of rights here. We all have to follow the laws, and those laws are the ones every citizen must abide by, not just any old set that has been imported for special treatment here.

If people don’t like it here, they should go to another spot on the planet that is (in their opinion) better.

Otherwise they should support our Founders, Founding Principles, and try to work toward peace and harmony in our nation.

I can recognize cultural differences. No problem with that. But stereotyping people by skin color does none of us any good. Especially since we’re all one shade or another of brown...except for albinos, who are pink.

Look, I agree with that, but you have to address the lack of mistreatment some way, and going across racial lines is what you have to address.

I have a family member that thinks you shouldn’t address racial groups, but how do you say that everyone is treated decently without addressing racial groups.

Yes, I can say that everyone is treated the same and ignore the 300 pound gorilla in the room, or I can address people and explain why I think we are all treated basically the same.

When we’re not, there is generally a pretty good reason. You have to address that also.

Tucker Carlson is an awesome analyst. He is REALLY intelligent, well-educated, experience in journalism, and he has integrity, honesty, courage and cares about the American people. America would already be in the throes of dictatorship, had FOXNEWS not been there to give both sides of the story. FOX has not been perfect, but, right now it is the best it has ever been with the lineup beginning with the FIVE at 5 p.m.. I record everything from that point until midnight and watch most of it eventually. I try to never miss Tucker, Hannity and Laura.

...”I don’t know a single White supremacist.”...

I don’t either. I hear that they do exist, but there are not enough of them to fill up a football field.

Anyone looking for racism should speak to blacks about foreigners (from anywhere); many blacks understand our elites import Third Worlders to replace blacks - and they’re not happy about it.

When Bettie Cook Scott in Michigan said “Don’t vote for the ching chong” about her Asian opponent, she knew exactly what she was doing. Dog whistles? She didn’t even bother; from Wikipedia: “

Witnesses reported Scott calling Chang and her volunteers “ching chong” or “ching chang” and accusing one of Chang’s campaign volunteers of being an “immigrant”, saying “you don’t belong here” and “I want you out of my country.”[8][6][9] Chang’s husband, an African-American man, reported hearing Scott saying that it “disgusts [Scott] seeing black people holding signs for these Asians and not supporting their own people,” and that he was a “fool” for marrying Chang.[6]”

Last night Tucker announced he was going on vacation ... will return August 19.
I hope this was a planned vaca, and not a time-out (or worse) by FNC.
