MSNBC does damage control....again.

I don't get it, what was so offensive about that tweet? Or am I missing something?

You don't see what's offensive about insinuating that the enitre right wing will be bothered by seeing a mix raced couple?

 

[TechBoyJK]

Well they learn about being persecuted and projection from the best, Fox news!

Not even 2 full pages in this thread and the racist conservative roaches are already posting because msnbc is in the title.

racist conservative roaches?

 

[Newell Steamer]

Come on MSNBC, get with it.

Conservatives speaking about race, color and creed = freedom of speech.

Liberals speaking about race, color and creed = reverse racism, race baiting and task #358 of the liberal agenda to fool the American people into multiculturalism - in accordance with their true master's will and direction.

 

[Londo_Jowo]

I guess MSNBC doesn't think conservatives could be in a mixed race marriage.

Congratulations, you've already passed the first screen for being an MSNBC Tweet writer.

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.



Are you guys not aware of this, or just conveniently ignoring it?

An adorable Cheerios commercial featuring an interracial couple and their daughter generated such a strong racist backlash on YouTube that the comments section had to be closed.

The ad had received more than 1,600 likes and more than 500 dislikes as of Thursday evening.

And then you have the YouTube comments section, which predictably has devolved into an endless flame war, with references to Nazis, "troglodytes" and "racial genocide." At what point will an ad like this just seem normal?

I watch both Fox and MSNBC. I don't have a dog in the fight.

In my experience, Fox doesn't really race bait. MSNBC does all the time. Al Sharpton is the worst. Only person I really like is Maddow, but I don't often completely agree with her. I think she's smart though.

Significant minority. Can you quantify that in any way?

Or shall we say a significant minority of liberals like to mock biracial families due to the Romney family mocking on MSNBC?

You might not find it offensive when someone falsely accuses you of being a racist, but I sure as heck am offended when someone keeps insinuating that I'm a racist. Especially if that someone (or group of people) has repeatedly shown themselves to be racists.

Hopefully this episode will just add another nail in the MSNBC coffin making sure advertisers don't want anything to do with that channel and the scum on it.

 

[Newell Steamer]

Fox doesn't really race bait.

Then what did this mean?

“The white establishment is now the minority,” he added. “The voters, many of them, feel this economic system is stacked against them and they want stuff. You’re gonna see a tremendous Hispanic vote for President Obama. Overwhelming black vote for President Obama. And women will probably break President Obama’s way. People feel that they are entitled to things — and which candidate, between the two, is going to give them things?”

And you have information showing that the activity was from conservatives? Apparently in your world only conservatives can be racists? Racist scum can be found everywhere (especially on MSNBC), pretending only conservatives can be racists is offensive and stupid.

And yet whoever that was choose to paint with the broad brush and label everyone on the right a racist. That is offensive and I can see why people take exception to it.

I know every other white right winger male here has an Asian ol lady, but is there any white and black happening?

Not all Asian have white skin.

I didn't see any hateful race baiting in that? I'm not even sure why you posted that? Did you just search for when Bill Oreilly talks about race?

Talking about race issues is not race baiting or hateful.

What MSNBC posted was hateful, racist, and childish.

Very big difference.

No...that never happens.

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.

It's OK for Fox to make broad sweeping statements of Hispanics and Blacks? But, MSNBC can't make broad sweeping statements about conservative whites?

Both are wrong.

One isn't 'better' over the other. But, you can't say Fox isn't a race baiter. They sensationalise every little thing; war on Christmas, war on Christianity, why Blacks and Hispanics voted for Obama

Fox invented that game as far as I am concerned.

You seriously didn't see hateful race baiting in that Bill O article? How could you possibly not? What MSNBC posted was not racist, it was insulting and insinuated racism of an entire group, but the post itself was not racist. Do you even know what racist means?

Hitler declared Japanese to be honorary Aryans.

Liberals probably can't tell Asians apart so they just extend that honorary status to all Asian people

Yes, white-black marriages are not that far behind white-asian marriages. Although since by numbers Asians demonstrate twice the propensity to marry interracially than Blacks, I can understand why you might feel there was a huge disparity in the marriage figures for white men and asian vs. black wives.

From your article:

Is stating facts now considered racist?

I don't think any Asian's would be what I would consider white?
