racists (2)


Video After The Jump

Fox News thrives on being outrageous and at times ridiculous. The network that calls itself "fair and balanced" is usually anything but.

Glenn Beck and fellow republican pundit Bill O'Reilly are so often offensive it barely registers a blip on the radar anymore.

But on occasion, like yesterday (May 26), one of them says something that makes you just shake your head.

Bill's guest on the O'Reilly Factor was liberal African American, Columbia University professor Mark Lamont Hill. The two of them were discussing Obama's plan to send 1200 troops to the Mexican border to help protect against illegal aliens.

For some reason Bill decides to tell Hill he looks like a drug dealer.

"Say you're a cocaine dealer—and you kind of look like one a little bit," Bill said

Without hesitation, Hill replied "As do you... you know, you actually look like a cocaine user."

Perfect comeback to an offensive, racist remark, but it still amazes me O'Reilly can get away with saying almost anything he wants.

Videos After The Jump

A Georgia history teacher is in hot water after allowing several students to wear KKK robes to school for a play.

Catherine Ariemma, who teaches at Lumpkin County High School was suspended by the school after several African American students and one parent complained.

It's understandable that students would be upset. They were eating lunch when the students wearing KKK robes strolled through the cafeteria. None of the students at lunch had any idea the outfits were for a school play.

Ariemma says she made the mistake of letting her students walk through the cafeteria because she wasn't thinking. Her class has first period lunch. Another teacher confronted her afterwards.

"That's when I heard there were a couple of students who were upset," Ariemma said.

School Superintendent Dewey Maye told the Associated Press. "This stuff happened in history, Do you ignore it? No. But you certainly don't walk the hallway in the garb."

Student Cody Rider told WSB-TV he was ready to take care of the situation himself if need be.

"I was sitting in the lunchroom and my little cousin taps me on the shoulder -- he's also African-American -- and he was scared," he said. "There was fear in his eyes. I was like, 'What is it? I looked up and they just walked through the lunchroom in white sheets. So, I mean me, I got mad and stood up and I tried to go handle it."

Ariemma, who has taught at the school for six years, feels like she made a poor decision, but would accept her fate if she is fired.

"I am a good teacher, I speak the truth, I tell the truth. I suppose if some decides it's the end, it's the end."

It probably is the end and with good reason in my opinion.
