Didn't Fox news just lose their news worthy certificate?
The one they bought off amazom.com?

Being the #1 Cable News network while also being known for harboring and promoting hosts that incessantly lie through their teeth with hate speech and blatantly propagandizing their rapt audience with programming that prominently features the fear of losing control of "their nation" speaks volumes about the mental state of the Repub Party.

FOX has created an alternate reality for those that refuse to accept what's really going on around them.

I used to trade Mexican jokes every day with another employee via company chat. Does that make us racist?


Yep.

And that's what few seem to understand.....even these "harmless" jokes about "Mexicans" or blacks or other "races" is just harboring racism and we won't overcome racism until we just do not tolerate "jokes" about "Mexicans" or blacks, etc.

But it's alright to joke about others, right, but not your own. How'd you like jokes made that center on your daughter? They're just jokes, right?

You do know comedy is always about bad things right? Stereotype comedy is hilarious. But there is a time and place for it. Exchanging a funny joke about well worn stereotypes is really funny, but it is not appropriate at the workplace or in the government. My friends and family exchange jokes about every race, every social group, and every type of situation. Especially about ourselves, those are some of the best.

Sharing some laughs doesn't make you a racist. Its how you actually treat people that matters.
