This happened when a racist listener called my show and got bested (VIDEO)

This racist caller to the "Politics Done Right" show who was attempting to be levelheaded before he unleashed his venom likely thought he was going to fluster me into incoherency. Unfortunately for him, he called the wrong host. Suffice it to say he did not get too far.

You just owned him period, I love how no matter how flustered he became and louder by the moment you just talked the truth.

He couldn't handle it, I bet he still has smoke coming out of his ears.

Are not of "american" origin. I'd look to the Far East, the Indian subcontinent, Africa, and Middle/South America. Of course, the ones that score the highest on the Western IQ tests are the ones that are trained on it. The Chinese and Japanese have always bested the european immigrants from the last one to two centuries.

Michael was a dotard. Maybe the dotard-in-chief needs a new spokeshole. Wait for a replay with overdubbing on fux.....

His points are utter trash:

A - Does that mean Asians are genetically more intelligent than Whites, then?
B - I’d be interested in seeing the supposed diversity study he referenced in the beginning of his call. Someone’s nose is growing.
C - I’m sick of right wing idiots using the term, “invasion.” Even illegal immigrants aren’t “invading” you dumbasses. Stop with the hyperbole if you want to be taken seriously.
D - Re: IQ is 80% genetics: source? Also, did he miss the fact that 80% doesn’t mean “entirely,”
E - Typical right wing asshole. Act like an obnoxious jerk, and then stomp off like a toddler because someone hurt their fee-fees.

Having done some of this talk show host stuff myself, I appreciate your civility and your resolve. And your knowledge and ability to articulate and to reason - even when your audio sparring partner doesn’t seem to want to be reasonable.

Bravo! I also appreciate the way on-air folks like you and also another of my heroes, Joy Reid, compel the filibusterers to shut up. She doesn’t let ‘em yammer on, or interrupt, or otherwise rudely dominate the discussion. And if they hang up? So what? Fuck ‘em! All that does is guarantee that YOU get the last word.

Andother thing she does is to immediately shut down AND correct, ON THE AIR, RIGHT THEN AND THERE, that it’s the Democratic Party or Democratic bill or Democratic representative etc. NOT “Democrat Party” and so on. Like you, she does it gently, with good will, like a loving but vigilant and conscientious parent might do.

Let me add that I enjoy reading your commentaries and I am happy to see your posts here, also!

Nice work!

I absolutely love how you ended it. He CHOSE not to be intelligent. He COULD be, but he chose not to be. That he'd rather live in ignorance and feel he is superior than others, than have to do the hard work of educating himself to the reality.

Bravo!

Choosing to live easily in ignorance rather than choosing to do the harder work of educating oneself. Healthy curiosity/skepticism, if this is that, then why isn't this other thing that too, critical thinking, are all skills that "Michael" and his like-minded pals should practice a bit more.
