What, do Asians not count?

And WE'RE supposed to be racist? Frankly, I'd put even money on more conservatives here being in interracial marriages than liberals.

Yes Asians count? I was just asking if any of the white guys here date married to black women.

I am not the one saying that stating facts about voting trends of different races is racist.

What is really ironic is there are probably countless posts here from liberals saying essentially the same thing as Bill O'Reilly about voting trends.
 
Did we already forget the whole Fox News "Jesus and Santa are white" thing?

I don't get why this matters anyway. Both MSNBC and Fox News are trash. They both are cynical political operations masquerading as news sources. Anyone who watches either one of them in an attempt to become informed deserves what they get.

I concur.

Do you agree that CNN is as well?

Possible, but the odds don't favor it. This survey shows only 35% of black women have dated a white person. For whites, the percentages of men who have dated someone of another race is 25% black, 30% hispanic, and 28% Asian. So white men don't show much adverse selection for black women, but the marriage numbers show Asian and Hispanic women seem more open to proceeding to matrimony with a white male. FWIW, given those statistics the chances of finding a white guy/black woman marriage on ATPN are astronomically higher than an Asian guy/black woman marriage.

I gave up on watching Msnbc on any regular basis as I saw them sinking into the same cess pool as Fox. I don't want my news slanted.

Geez, does Chris Matthews have anything but Christie to hammer on. Every time I've flipped over to that program lately that's the main subject of the day.

Use multiple news sources and do your own thinking.

That literally happened, though. Not the entire right wing, but a significant minority raised a huge shit about a biracial family appearing in a Cheerios commercial. This is basically just showing that commercial again

500 people. Wow! That's huge! There's like only 900 conservatives in all of the U.S. so that is definitely a significant majority. And we know with certainty that everyone of those 500 labels themselves as conservative.

You too, could work for MSNBC. You'll dovetail in very well.

He didn't say significant majority, he said significant minority.

Of course he also seems to have missed this part of the article:
"Everyone gets hate comments on YouTube," said Andre Meadows, the creator of the Black Nerd Comedy channel. "You can make the most wonderful video in the world and you will get 'Fake!' and 'Gay!'"

Seems to me there are just a sizable number of people who go around trolling youtube comments. Obviously if you were going to troll a video involving an interracial family the most obvious method would be to post racist comments.

To jump from some people like trolling youtube to conclude the right wingers have a problem with interracial families is a huge stretch.
 
You know we could all dig up some really crazy, offensive shit that the Republicans have said, and their loudmouth pieces like Rush Limbaugh, but no one has ever demanded they be fired or make apologies. This little tweet by an MSNBC staffer is not that egregious in my opinion, and to a certain extent is spot on with all those Republicans and RW's who were upset at this Cheerios ad to begin with. Some of the most hateful things were said on Fox news about it, but not one person was fired, nor did the Democrats say they were going to Boycott Fox news.

This is just petty immature, typical crap from the right... as usual.

Wait what? No one has demanded Limbaugh be fired or apologize? You miss the whole "slut" issue?

Damn you for making me defend Limbaugh!

It's fine if you want to imagine those on the other side of the political aisle as unrepetant racist neanderthals, whatever makes you feel better and feeds your echo chamber desires for self-validation I guess. It's another for a broadcast company who is trying to appeal to a mass audience to insult a huge segment of potential viewers.

When the pickings are lean, even a very green banana or an overly ripe severely bruised and wormy apple on the ground looks absolutely delish. 😉

I am not going to waste my time, this is just a bunch of nonsense, finger pointing crap. The point is, I have yet to see Democrats call out for an outright ban or blackball of Fox news or any other RW media outlet.

What was said was not nearly as offensive as all the crap RW's have been spouting since this President came into office. Priebus is a prick and an idiot and most folks recognize that except for the knuckledraggers.

Then you simply have had your eyes closed. I just quickly googled "Boycott Fox News" and Boycott Limbaugh and there were quite literally hundreds of results.
 
The feigned outrage is amusing, however, until Fox News apologizes for the demeaning insults which they casually sling toward others, then this innocuous tweet which contains the word “maybe.” is not ban worthy and seriously, who gives a fuck if they boycott?

I mean c'mon it's not like they called Republicans Communist dictators from Kenya. After all it's not like Fox never calls the President a nazi, socialist, Marxist, maoist because that would just be rude!
