On Sunday, Fox News’ Shepard Smith slammed former Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, who had the temerity to say that “all lives matter.” Twitter responded by demanding Smith be fired.
“Shepard, I will say this, look, it, it is time for folks across party lines, across ideological lines to con–to condemn this violence, to condemn this insanity. We gotta come together. We’ve got to say that all lives matter,” Jindal said, according to a partial transcript posted at the Gateway Pundit. “It doesn’t matter what color you are: Black, white, brown, red, it doesn’t matter. All lives matter. We’ve got to protect and value our belief…”
Smith then cut in to attack Jindal:
“Governor, you know, you know that that phrase you just used is is one that’s seen by many as, as derogatory, right? I, I just wonder why it is that you use that phrase when there’s a certain segment of the population that believes it’s a real dig on ’em.”

Lets take a hypothetical without presupposing agreement with the merits of a group, or not. The hypothetical is only about the name of a group. This is not about protests, violence, racism, or anything else. Just the name.
A minority group within a vast multicultural society is founded to call attention to a perceived social injustice based on genetic makeup of the minority group.
By identifying that minority group by name, in the name of their group, non-members of that minority group within the super multicultural society shift the focus from discussions about the perceived social injustice, to discussion about the name they picked. The implication being that if you cannot even get the name right, then everything else about your group is wrong as well.
The perception does not change until a majority of members of the super multicultural society can unite around the need to address how and why the perception was created in the first place, and then find ways to address it.
good museum curator though. Indoors, out of the sun.
Why should blacks get to determine what is or isn’t?
Being a retard is the LEST of Smith's problems... He's a whole lot more then that.!
Media will start push to say shooting (by Farrakhan’s nation of Islam member) is not race related.
You watch.
They’ll bury all his anti-white postings.
Its only the narrative with them.
The governor should have said, “gay lives matter too”. That would have shut the fudgepacker’s stretched pie hole.
I wish he would go away.....MSNBC probably wouldn’t take that pompous arsehole!!
“ole miss did that to him.”
I’ve thought the same thing.
One of the cops killed was black 32 year old cop with a wife and newborn baby. Nation of Islam hates cops.
I don’t want to seem like I’m Picking on Bobby Jindal, who I like very much, but, he sounds like he’s channeling the ghost of Rodney(”Can we all get along?”) King. We’ve heard these platitudes ad nauseum about building bridges, Etc., etc., ...
.......you maggots!

Shepard Smith’s hometown is Holly Springs, Mississippi. It is now about 90% black. There are around eight Confederate Generals buried there that died during the Civil War.
If you really, truly, in your heart believe that all lives matter, why would you be worried about offending someone if you espoused that. Smith should be fired for this crap. This is an unbelievable insight into how a libtard thinks. This a$$ hole is an idiot.
I don’t find it derogatory, but I don’t agree with the term ALL. The life of a convicted KILLER DOESN’T MATTER one whit. For that matter neither does a child rapist or a rapist.
That sniveling,whinny little douchebag Shep Smith is completely banned in our household. We’d MUCH rather watch Anderson Cooper instead. At least Cooper can ACT like a man.
Amen...............
Thank you. I will call them. I am not pleasant when pissed.
