Actually she not only sons Joe Walsh for his statement on the bar being lowered for Obama because he's black, she rips into news organizations giving platforms to such bigots. She also goes in on the rampant racism.

I fucking love Angela, I'm so happy this election cycle has put me on to her. She doesn't bite her tongue to make folks who want to ignore racism feel comfortable (if you're black you know what I'm talking about. We can't say shit about what we go through or racism without a bunch of folks getitng all upset and uncomfortable), nor does she tap dance and cheer when trash people do the absolute bare minimum (See Van Jones when Trump read from a teleprompter for an hour while on adderall).

Just...just watch the video.

Every time Angela Rye is on CNN she makes the best "Are you fucking kidding me?" "Oh hell no." face. I love when she guests on The BReakfast Club.

I read the OP and thought "Oh man, Joe Walsh is a racist? He always seemed so cool in interviews" and then I watched the video and realized it's not the dude from the Eagles and oh yeah I'm really fucking old.

As someone who doesn't watch the main cable news channels (do watch BBC, Newshour, Vice), it baffles me that someone thinks putting Joe Walsh on TV is a reasonable thing. CNN desperate to appear 'fair' just brings it down more and more.

And of course, in the Also Watch column of all the identical clips about this conversation, most praising Angela, there's a single thumbnail with a green LOL that reads: "Joe Walsh makes a fool of CNN's Angela Rye over Twitter"

Walsh tweet: "We lowered the standards for Obama because he was black!"
"Ugh you misunderstood me. Can't I attack Obama and not be a racist??"

Also, wtf at "Why use the B word?" Are we actually equating calling someone a bigot to using words like, for lack of a better phrase, the n-word?

Life's been good to him so far.

Haha, amazing.

Been exposed to her through Charlamagne's Brilliant Idiots podcast and The Breakfast Club, where she's been a guest several times now. She's great.

It's a reoccurring theme, being called "racist" and "bigot" is just as bad as calling a black person "nigger". Hell I even see self proclaimed liberals indirectly make that argument.

'Sons' came around in the late 80s early 90s in black neighborhoods mainly in New York.

hearing a white guy saying, "Why does it always have to be about race and sex?" Has to be one of the top 3 most privileged things to say

There's nothing more offensive to white people than to call them racist, it seems.

Brooke has some puzzling moments during that whole thing ending with a "Let's just please be respectful to one another. We can have different opinions" as if Walsh's bigotry deserves respect or is just a "different opinion".

You know someone doesn't even recognize their own privilege when they have to ask why it always has to be about race. Foh.

"We didn't vet him"

Yeah, I'm sure that's a phrase Walsh uses all of the time when talking about white people, too. It couldn't possibly have anything to do with the fact that racists think Obama is a secret Muslim because he's black, so it's just a coincidence that he's using the same language that Trump used for the Muslim ban.

What a piece of shit.

Language, especially American English, is a fluid thing. Yes, that's correctomundo.

Dude got told even though the fucking newsperson decided to stupidly equate the act of calling out a bigot with being bigoted.

I'm not able to watch any video at the moment, but that's the argument for saying that Obama, an Ivy graduate, law professor, noted orator, and former Senator, is an example of affirmative action or lowered standards for the presidency?

I guess I'll quote this for the billionth time:
CygnusXS said:
Michael Freeden has argued that a key aspect of conservative ideology is being able to appropriate the values of opposing ideologies in order to protect the conservative's idea of the proper form of society. At the same time that the US switched from de jure (explicitly coded) to de facto (implicitly derived) institutional racism, racists realized that they could protect the institutions of racism by borrowing from the left's growing understanding of identity politics. They saw that the activity of "racism" could be isolated within certain overt behaviours, such as using the word "nigger," and that social discourse was moving away from blanket associations of actions with identities. They saw how the left made it taboo to use racist terms, as a way to shutdown racist discourse.

Racists decided that the best way to deflect public discussion away from de facto systems of racism was to make those discussions taboo, by borrowing the technique of coding certain terms (in this case "racist") as publicly unacceptable. They connected the term "racist" to identity politics by trying to dress it up as a demeaning term in the same way that "nigger" is. As a result, if you call a white person racist for, say, refusing to acknowledge a bias against black people within the criminal justice system, you're unfairly reducing them to a blanket identity which they don't see as their own. They can then center discussions about institutional racism around how it relates to white people and what their experiences are, diminishing the ability for the victims of systemic racism to argue their own cases.

That's a long way to say that it's an intentionally-conceived silencing tactic.

It has been successful it seems.

Thanks for making this thread. That clip is pretty wild. You can see her exacerbation as she tries to explain what a double standard is to this guy who is being the most disengenuious shitstain.

His argument (if one can even call racist statements 'arguments') is that the media never criticized him because it would be seen as racist and that he was treated with kids gloves (is that the idiom?)

Seriously. I was watching that and thought..huh...I never heard anyone say "bitch". Took me a while to realise they were talking about "bigot".

Worst part of punditry, get some crazy bigot or misogynist then have a minority or woman come in and pretend it is a rational debate.
