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

Posted on 08/07/2019 9:44:15 AM PDT by Innovative

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."

Yet...

There are 200 million whites in the USA, 63 million Hispanics (many are counted as whites), 40 million blacks...

200 million is too large to insult and remain politically viable.

We need to let that 200 million know what the Left thinks of them just because of the color they happen to be born as.

Tucker is correct. If anything there is considerable anti-white ‘racism’/rhetoric/hatred.

That’s what the white guilt is for.
Convince people to be ashamed to be white and they vote for their own extinction.

Simple question for Brian Seltzer the author. Are you more likely to get the hell knocked out of you at night walking in a black neighborhood or is your black friend more like to get the hell knocked out of him walking in a white neighborhood at night?

It is the truth. Why is it wrong? Look out for something to happen to Tucker.

It depends on who’s doing the defining. To the Democrats, ANY opposition to the idea of racial reparations, and ANY opposition to the demographic transformation of the US through unlimited illegal immigration, is a “white supremacy problem”.

To a Leftist, ANY white displaying resistance to being enslaved is a “white supremacist”.

The point here is this is nothing more than to get one of their programs through like reparations or some broad affirmative action crap. See, to vote against it means you would be a racist which we now you are and you just proved it.

“While I don’t feel it’s a hoax, I do feel it’s over-hyped.”

I agree with you. KKK, Aryan Nations, and similar racist groups exist, as does Nation of Islam, a Black Separatist/Supremacy group. “Enough to fill a small college football stadium” is too many white supremacists, and some racist violence is too much. Trump should condemn racism loudly and often.

I WOULD WAGER that this idiots on TV, the left, don’t one single person who fits the description of a KKK, white supremacist.

I think it’s time to just ignore these people... Let them say what they want. It only makes me more determined to vote.

I thought that I was excited and couldn’t wait to vote for Trump in 2016. It’s worse now. I CAN’T WAIT TO GET IN THERE AND VOTE!!!!

I don’t know a single White supremacist.

I don’t see them on TV. I do see folks saying Whites are a this or that, painting with a broad brush.

Don Lemon is probably the most prolific racist and supremacist on TV but there are many others in the media and in politics. Yes, their skin pigment isn't white, but they are as racist as they come and carry on like they are entitled to be in charge.

Some of the supremacists are indeed white but their skin color has nothing to do with their ideological mental illness with a narcissist complex.

If history is accurate after America is destroyed from within; it will clearly state it was these race baiting media and leftist politicians who instigated the war that took America down. When the bullets start flying; I do hope everyone remembers who these instigators are so they can be given special treatment quickly.

“...the El Paso suspect’s racist views and the forces that may have radicalized him.”

Did he have “racist” views, and if he did what are they? What sort of forces may have “radicalized” him?

There are probably more members of Antifa rioting on the streets of Portland, Oregon on any given weekend than there are members of “white supremacist” organizations in the entire country - CNN should give us some comparative numbers......

And still, no one gets why this is happening. According to liberals, it was the white supremacists who wrote the Constitution. Because whites are racists/sexists and homophobes, the constitution needs to be amended to fit the “new” narrative of what America is.

See what is going on here?

>>> America’s white supremacy problem “is a hoax.” <<<

Didn’t America elect a black president twice - with the name Barack Hussein F’n Obama?
