Sandy GholstonNormally, I would not spend a whole lot of time commenting on the comments that (usually) anonymous people leave on blog sites. Fox Nation, the blog arm of the Fox News empire, has had continuing issues with hateful language on its blog site (as posted by readers). News Hounds has a blog entry about a series of racist comments directed at Roland Martin who, probably most notably, is a CNN commentator. Martin was critical of Sarah Palin in a column he wrote. As David Letterman discovered, not much gets the righties tighties in a bunch more than virtually any criticism of Sarah Palin. For the record, Martin is black (but you will see that quick when you see some of the racism directed at him by some cowardly and racist Fox Nation visitors).
Here is a screen shot captured by News Hounds:
Over the years, I’ve heard Bill O’Reilly be very critical of blogs like Daily Kos and Huffington Post for nasty comments posted by visitors. But, it seems people like O’Reilly are very silent about O’Reilly (unless he has done a segment that I’ve not seen criticizing Fox Nation).
Here is the other screen shot from News Hounds:
Is this what Fox is all about?
Where is the outrage from people like Bill O’Reilly?
Excellent work by News Hounds to catch this.
The reason that society is incapable of addressing the racial issue is because we view it from the wrong perspective. We talk all around the fundamental, underlying reasons for racism, and make it an emotional issue. How does one expect to cure the cancer without focusing on the cancerous cells? Focusing on the symptoms is an ineffective mechanism to employ. Consider this: http://www.tinyurl.com/aq4cdb
