    Media use of Race

    There are cable news channels that use the term racist every day. I would like a $100 for every-time they use this word. (they just can't stop)
    I would use the money to start a new news channel that has both sides views. We need people like Tim Russert again to bring back trust.

    Racism has been misused by the left so hard, the word is meaningless now.

    I turned on the t.v. at one point yesterday and there was a show on featuring a number of Black individuals being interviewed - just brief cuts from one to the other, as is commonly done in documentaries and theme features. The people being interviewed were not "man on the street" types, but in-studio guests. The subject of this segment was "Karens", and a man was talking about how, according to him, "some White people" were starting to recognize and call out Karens."But", he continued, "you're all Karens". Then, as a clip of a crying White woman standing beside a police officer was shown, a Black woman was talking about White people who align themselves with Black victims, and she said, "We see your tears...but they're not going to save you". Maybe I should have watched more of the show to get some context, but I couldn't stomach it.
    Civilized men are more discourteous than savages because they know they can be impolite without having their skulls split, as a general thing.” - Robert E. Howard

    I disagree, the term still has meaning. Just not when Democrats use it.

    Is this a "cable news channel"? Can you read? And do we all get $100 for your use of the word?
