VIDEO: Fox News Guest Says Black People Not Welcome In Idaho, Utah And Wyoming
Reagan Coalition ^ | 12/12/13 | Eric Pfeiffer

Posted on 12/12/2013 7:00:48 PM PST by Impala64ssa

A guest on Sean Hannity’s Fox News program declared that Idaho, Utah and Wyoming are racist states where black people aren’t welcome. The outrageous comments were made by black civil rights attorney Leo Terrell, who verbally sparred with Hannity and Crystal Wright, editor of Conservative Black Chick. Terrell said the fact that African-Americans make up less than two percent of the population in Idaho and Utah indicates that black people are not welcome there.

“Idaho and Utah, they don’t promote blacks to go to those states. We have private clubs that are all-white and a housing pattern that is all-white,” said Terrell. “People like me can’t go to Idaho and Wyoming. They are apartheid states. How many blacks are in Idaho? [They] do not encourage blacks to live there.

Both Hannity and Wright laughed at the absurdity of Terrell’s statement. “You’re telling me a black person can’t go to Idaho today because, what, they’re gonna be killed or lynched?” asked Wright. “You sound ridiculous. You’re perpetuating these lies like Reverend Jesse Jackson Jr.”

Terrell accused Wright of being “one of those typical Fox commentators” and taking “talking points” from Hannity before the conversation begin. But perhaps most shocking was that Terrell said that the country was in a better position than it was six years ago because of Obama.

“This country has taken a step ahead,” declared Terrell. “I can believe now that any person, regardless of color, can become President of this country.”

Apparently he’s a full on racist who would vote for a black republican if the democrat candidate were white

wait a second....vote against a Democrat.....now you're carrying things too far!!!.....He would just claim the black candidate was a Puerto Rican!

He got in a big fight with the NAACP and ACLU over their attacks on black Bush nominees.

I’m thinking that with an average winter temp in the single digits, that not too many people white or black, would move to these states without some strong motivating factors.

I am guessing that after his performance on Fox that Mr. Terrell would not be well received in any of these states.

Interesting. I was in Yellowstone this summer and saw several black families there, not a lot, but they were there. There were even black people working in the park concessions.

Better update your GPS with the “Avoid Ghetto” app.

“This is probably news to Mia Love.”

Was in Salt Lake City a couple of years ago, and took a walk around the lake at the park in Sugar House.

Beautiful spot, looking across the lake to the mountains, from right in the city.

Anyway, a black gentleman was feeding the ducks, so we stopped to chat a bit. He liked it in SLC, said people treated him really great.

And a story in Time a few years ago caught my Dad’s eye. A black doctor had settled in Wyoming, and had become a gentleman rancher. He said once the novelty of his skin color passed, he was treated really well.

So Leo is full of it, and it is doubtful he has any hands on experience whatsoever in those states.

Even if they are a compulsive liar and have a Zero I.Q. Barry Soetoro proved that.

Map tells the story

In fact, Blacks have been leaving CA in large numbers for well over 20+ years now..

Seems increasing numbers of blacks have/are moving into the south, Texas, Georgia, Alabama etc...

California’s overall African American population been declining since 1980

All I know is that when I lived in Utah there was a black guy in my department and he loved it there. With so few blacks around he was accepted as an interesting individual rather than fobbed off as an anonymous member of a despised minority.

That role was filled by the Indians. Oh, boy, did I get an earfull about the drunken Indians.
