Racism

MSNBC's PoliticsNation host Al Sharpton must be really proud of himself for nicknaming Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis “Baby Trump” during a Wednesday protest, he traveled over to The Late Show on CBS on Thursday to tell host Stephen Colbert that DeSantis is “trying to use the race wedge” to become president and that his education policies are no different than birtherism.

All six episodes of The 1619 Project series are out on Hulu, and some of the claims and statements made in the show’s episodes are so ridiculous and offensive they will probably leave your head-spinning.

Disney’s attack dogs at ABC News were at it again Thursday, spewing dangerous disinformation about Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (R). This unhinged screeching from the cast of The View involved faux conservative and Florida resident, Ana Navarro lying about “Ron DeSaster” planning to “ban the alphabet,” and joyless Joy Behar calling him and all Republicans “fascists” who were trying…

MSNBC PoliticsNation host Al Sharpton joined Morning Joe on Thursday to recap his Wednesday vanity protest against Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’s education policies where he showed his usual lack of nuance and good faith, by comparing DeSantis to those who perpetuated slavery and segregation.

CBS’s Stephen Colbert is ready for the 2024 GOP Primary and to use his show to help President Biden win re-election. On Tuesday’s edition of The Late Show, he did not appreciate former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley’s announcement video where she claimed in a video that the American founding is not racist. During the same monologue, he resurrected the false charge that Florida Gov.…

CNN chief political correspondent Dana Bash welcomed former Ambassador to the U.N. and South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley to the 2024 GOP Primary on Tuesday’s Inside Politics by claiming that is “fascinating” that the non-white Haley would include Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and other non-white progressives while embracing GOP “culture wars” in her announcement video.

With former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley throwing her hat into the 2024 Republican primary, the ladies of ABC’s The View pulled their knives out and took swipes at the conservative woman with racist attacks about her skin color, discounted her experience as a minority in America, and smeared her with false claims of being an election denier.

CBS host of The Late Show, Stephen Colbert may have had the week of the State of the Union address off, but that did not prevent him and former White House chief of staff Ron Klain from gloating over the moment where President Biden gave the false impression Republicans are demanding cuts to Social Security and Medicare on Monday’s show.

You would think that people who are as obsessed with race (and who claim Republicans are trying to erase black people from American history) as The View would be familiar with the first black NFL quarterback to win a Super Bowl: Doug Williams. But that was the embarrassing case on Monday’s edition of the show when racist Sunny Hostin seemed to suggest that, “finally” America sees that…

Disney’s brand took hit after hit last year, and 2023 is off to a similar start.

Suddenly and without any evidence, the Saturday edition of CNN This Morning Weekend suggested that if Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis were to become president, he might target companies who produce ads with interracial couples in the same way he went after Disney.

With Executive Editor Tim Graham off celebrating his birthday, Deputy Managing Editor Nick Fondacaro and I returned to hold down the fort and, even leaving aside the State of the Union, the world was our oyster with content. Of course, The View was a major topic with their cockamamie and erroneous claims that conservatives such as Governor Ron DeSantis (R-FL) want to ban the teaching…

On Thursday's CNN This Morning, co-host Don Lemon picked up on the story of a group of high school girls in Philadelphia circulating a racist video mocking Black History Month, and exploited it to pontificate against Florida Republican Governor Ron DeSantis's education policies.

On PBS’s weekly journalist roundtable show Washington Week, National Public Radio Weekend Edition host Ayesha Rascoe and NBC News’ Ryan Nobles (formerly at CNN) discussed the brutal, fatal attack on Tyre Nichols, expanding from the killing to explore bizarre explanations for the attack by the five black police officers, including “white supremacy,” “food insecurity,” and even…
