Syndicated Radio Host Michael Berry: White People Don't Kill People The Way Black People Do

http://mediamatters.org/blog/2015/03/13/syndicated-radio-host-michael-berry-white-peopl/202895

Syndicated radio host Michael Berry commented on the beating of a teenage girl at a New York City restaurant by saying, "You know why white lives matter? Because that's what white people believe. The dirty little secret is, black people don't believe that black lives matter."

On the March 12 edition of his Houston-based show, Berry described video footage of the beating, in which four girls attacked a 15-year-old girl at a McDonald's in Brooklyn. At first, Berry claimed, "I'm not going to tell y'all the skin color because it's not relevant." After delivering his description of the brutal attack, Berry asserted that "you can blame this problem on anything other than the root cause. But the reality -- and this is what makes people so uncomfortable with our show -- is this one fact that we are about to state. We have people living in our country who are savages. Absolutely, positively savages. To engage in this kind of behavior.",,,

Berry, who calls himself the "czar of talk radio," has a daily show on Houston's KTRH, an iHeartRadio radio station that airs on several other iHeartRadio affiliates around the country. He was No. 28 on Talkers Magazine's 2014 Heavy Hundred.

Berry has hosted several Republican politicians on his show including Sen. Ted Cruz (TX), who posted his interview with Berry on his Senate website, and current Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, who appeared on Berry's show while running for governor in 2013. In 2010, Berry interviewed former President George W. Bush.




I believe that's Michael "Dingle" Berry.

there are people who behave like savages in this country. I'm thinking about the savages who start wars for profit. There were also savages who allowed a major city to drown. There are savages who gun down black children as well as adults for the crime of wearing the wrong skin color.

I guess we cannot forget about the savages who invaded this country and committed genocide. Then there were the savages who gained immense wealth from the backs of enslaved Africans.

more idiotic.

Not only that, but so many of the stories I've heard/read about bullying and rapists driving young people into suicide, yeah, all of those people are black too, I guess.

Btw, I read a bit about the BTK man once. Good God...

and targeted predominantly white victims. So how does that fit into the profile idiot-wad Berry is trying to establish? with this line, "The dirty little secret is, black people don't believe that black lives matter."

Even more interesting: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_serial_killers_by_number_of_victims

lets guess how many of the worlds most prolific mass murders were black and had predominantly black victims?
