Watch Cenk Uygur absolutely destroy militants and FBI over ‘right-wing privilege’

[UCmeNdc]

But after one unhinged militant called to “kill” law enforcement, Uygur appeared unable to contain his rage on Wednesday’s show.

“We’re going to have a conversation with these guys?” Uygur asked. “They were free to come and go for three weeks, there was no perimeter. The FBI says, ‘Oh don’t worry, we just set up a perimeter.'”

“God damn right, I’m worried!” he exclaimed. “Why didn’t you set up a perimeter the first time they captured a federal building, armed, talking about how they’re going to murder people who come and try to take it from them.”

“And here are these guys on camera saying, ‘We’re going to murder the cops if they come to get us.’ You stole, sh*t, you criminal, you thug!”

Uygur observed that black and liberal activists would have been quickly stopped by authorities if they attempted similar actions.

“Look at the white privilege here, and it’s not just white,” he explained. “It’s right-wing privilege. Because if left wingers had taken over, environmental groups had taken over and say, ‘Oh, we’re going to do this and we’re going to do that.’ It doesn’t matter if it’s a Latino, a black group or it’s just white Greenpeace or animal rights guys, nobody gets to come and go and threaten cops and talk about killing them!”

1. Cenk unbound is an amazing thing.

And he is spot on.

2. Near the end of the video he makes the strongest point:

(Not quoting)If you're doing something illegal and one of your buddies gets shot by the cops YOU are guilty of felony murder. Unless you're a white right winger, apparently. Then you're let go.

5. Bookmarking for later.

Cenk really channels the anger I feel regarding the unevenly-applied justice in our society.

Truth, Justice and Fairness Above All. Or we're even more fucked.

Thanks for the link.

6. A FB page for Discussing POC in a White Privilege world has been talking about this since Day 1

Not that others haven't. But it is enraging and every POC on that page said they would have been shot dead within the first hour of the takeover. Black, brown, Muslim, or anyone else. The FBI may have collected some great data on these guys by waiting, but now all the yahoos with guns think that the Feds are scared of them. Why that perimeter was not secured from the beginning and the wiretapping and monitoring happening right then, is beyond my comprehension. Except we know about institutionalized racism...and that somehow explains this madness that was allowed to happen this month.

7. Cliven Bundy lost all of his appeals and was ordered to pay the money.

What do you mean they still haven't gone after him? How long do they plan to wait?

This is under the Obama administration, the RW's most hated man. How do they explain that he is being so bad to them? Corporate America wants us to be more divided to forget that they are the cause for most of our problems. Don't worry corporate America, we won't forget! Just because you have brainwashed the mentally deficient doesn't mean that we are all this way.
