Black Online Activists Ask Black Leaders To Freeze Out Fox New Channel
Black bloggers and ColorofChange.org are asking the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) Institute to officially freeze out Fox News Channel (FNC) from their upcoming presidential debates. They say FNC routinely discriminates against people of color and the network should not be legitimized as a real news outlet.
"No network that calls Black churches a cult, implies that Senator Barack Obama is a terrorist, and uses the solemn occasion of Coretta Scott King's funeral to call Black leaders 'racist' should be given a stamp of approval by the CBC Institute," said James Rucker, head of ColorofChange.org.
The video above is a compilation of Fox clips put together by Robert Greenwald at Brave New Films. It's called "Fox Attacks: Black America." You can find out more at www.FoxAttacks.com.

61. I watched the Hannity and Colmes Show last night and the person that was on is a Black Racist calling for violence against White people because of a preconcieved notion that the police are racists. The Show is NOT a news show, but an interview and opinion show. When people pretend that it was a news show, they prove their unintelligence and ignorance. The far left is afraid of Fox News because it is fair and balanced with their NEWS programing. That was proved when the DNC canceled the debate. What the Black people of this nation forget, or has not ever learned about, is that the Democratic party was responsible for slavery and fighting in the Civil War and it was the Republicans who freed them and fought for the North. Look deep, do some research and please tell me exactly what the democratic party has ever done for the average black person.

64. Gere Minnick metriculates - "If the views expressed by the Black Panther guy on Fox last week are an indicator of what Blacks truly believe then we are in some serious teouble in this country. "
No it wasn't what most black folks believed...
But after seeing the many racist comments here, and constantly blared on Faux...
I can see where the New Black Panther philosophy might be gaining traction.

65. Mike C trolls for fellow Aryans with - "Whos suffering on a racist level in the real U.S.? The whites. And its our fault we dont stand up. But could you imagine what would happen if we did?

You guys ever going to rewrite your playbook?
"David Duke has embraced the Internet as a key to the future of the white supremacist movement. An article featured prominently at his site, "The Coming White Revolution -- Born on the Internet," outlines his high hopes that the Internet will "facilitate a world-wide revolution of White awareness." In particular, Duke believes the Web will shatter the control of his "unrelenting enemy," the "alien anti-White" media:
Up until now, unless someone met me personally, or read my material, the only way they could judge me is by what the liberal-biased media says. Now, that situation has changed. Millions of people are going online in America. Now, if they want to find out about me and my ideas and issues all they have to do is go into one of the search engines and search for "David Duke." Hundreds of sources will show up.13
Concerned that the "non-white birthrate," "massive immigration," and "racial intermarriage" will "reduce the founding people of America into a minority," Duke boasts at his Web site about the "genetic potential" of "our people," stressing the "innate intellectual & psychological differences" between whites and Blacks."

66. Edward Gilson agonizes - "IS ANY ONE ELSE ALLOWED TO HAVE AN OPINION?"
I don't see anyone here stopping you...
Of course the First Ammendment only says that you can state your opinion...
It doesn't gurantee that anyone will take it seriously.
Speaking of "No Child Left Behind" - reading and being able to accurately express the principles of the Constitution should be a requirement for graduation from 10th grade in this country...
There would be damn few conservatives left in this country.

67. NAACP. Why is the word "colored"allowed in this title,when black is the preferred term.Just wondering.

69. Faux news is not a legitimate news outlet everyone knows it and should not be treated as such. The only reason the right wing whack jobs are watching it is because they spoon feed them propaganda that they like to hear.

70. Fox News Network Rules!
It represents both sides of the issue. However, Truth is Truth and if the shoe fits, why, then wear it. If it pinches, look inward and make the changes necessary and stop complaining! If your down, find out why and don't expect for all of humanity to keep picking up your pieces while you complain that their not doing enough! Sheese!

Ray, the Democrats have keep our Black community is slavery! They will do and give them anything to keep their vote. What a shame they (the Black community) haven't Taken the time to think it through to it's final conclusion. If they did, they would realize that the Democrats are using them for their own grandizement. However, it's not just the Black community, it's also any minority that looks to the government for what they need and not to self.

72. Fox must be getting to those who have a bone to pick, if it isn't the Southern States Flag during the civil war, or this thing called slavery that ended some 142 years ago,or some other problem the Black community is having among their people, and always wanting to place the blame on the white community, now we have the Congress Black Cacus which is filled with the most Racists people in america, then you have the NAACP who's leaders in the most recent past have also been Racists . Julian Bond comes to mind , then you have the Nation of Islam's leader which is the most racists of any Black man I have ever lived to hear....Now the Blacks want all Black org. to block out FOX News so no Black can hear perhaps the truth about their leaders so-called ?? And what is really going on in the Black community in america. I think all these blow hearts need to remember what Bill Cosbey said what was wrong with the Black people today ...It seems that when Fox "Exposes" others and their Hate for the other side . people get very upset.To Bad. that is the way it is folks. I say, Keep at them Fox.

73. The current leadship of American Blacks is flawed to the max. There are Black leaders that know what this current leadership has done for the Black community: Nothing. Neither have the Democrats. History is replete with how Republicans have lead the war against slavery and discrimation. But you have to be in school to learn. Bill Cosby, Ward Connerly, Dr. Williams, Ennis Niger should be in the forefront of Black leadership in American. But NO, they are called Uncle Toms. Who is the racist?? It is the Sharpton and Jacksons. They have only fattened their pockets and kept so many Black from becoming the best they can be.

74. It certainly seems to me that the question here is that of Free speach and Freedom to make educated choices in this country. Listen to both sides, do your research, form your own educated opinion and use your right as an American to put the people you believe will do the right thing in office. Boycott Fox News? Why? Its just another resource for researching all sides of every issue, no worse or better than the others, just another tool for gaining information.
I have also found that more often than not, when one acuses another of an offense taken, a long hard look in the mirror is where you will probobly find the real offensive issue! Scream racism as the problem your comunity is plagued with, perhaps that problem is really staring back at you in the mirror!
