Tucker Carlson blames BuzzFeed, The Root for white nationalism

[DonViejo]

It’s not the racists — no, no, no — it’s liberal websites that are responsible for racism

In a rather galactic stretch of the imagination, Fox News host Tucker Carlson told his viewers Wednesday night that it is not right-wing media or, you know, good-old fashioned racism that's help fueling white nationalism, but what he views as anti-white propaganda disseminated by progressive, pro-inclusion websites such as Buzzfeed and The Root.

"Liberals say they abhor white nationalism, and they should," said Carlson. "But at the same time, they are promoting it with crap like this," he said, referencing articles from BuzzFeed and The Root.

Addressing his audience in a way that suggests he believes all of them are white (which may indeed be the truth), the host continued, "Now some smug private-school kid from Brooklyn is lecturing you about how you are the problem, because the color of your skin, and the privilege it conveys. How much of that are you going to take before you explode at the unfairness of it all?"

Such explosions in response to reading BuzzFeed articles were, he reasoned, why Americans become radicalized white supremacists. "And at that point," he said, "why wouldn't you embrace a racial identity?"

2. Tucker, you are permanently associated with racists and hate and this will be your legacy.

You are not talented enough to have a legacy in journalism or whatever it is you call yourself, only because of right-wing idiots can someone like you even have a job in this business, but you do have one now, a legacy, and it is ugly.

3. I hope I'm around when the reckoning comes...

For all their bombastic claims, I'll bet a thousand dollars that Tucker, and Hannity, Limbaugh and the others will wet their pants when they are called to atone for their false testimony.
