    The people who are racist suffer from a major personality disorder, insecurity.

    And the Faux News information silo re-enforces those insecurities.

    Insecurity is a symptom of ignorance.

    The commentator was frustrated about not having solutions, and it's obvious that if there are any, they'll take a long time. I think we made remarkable progress in this country dismantling systemic racism before 1980. In my red state of Oklahoma, my parents lived with Jim Crow laws and segregated schools. I know an elderly white friend who tells me about his experience drinking out of the colored water fountain. It sounded interesting so he thought he'd see what colored water tasted like and was yelled at by a horrified old biddy! But since the Reagan Administration, there's been back sliding. Affirmative action is under attack, the Supreme Court abandoned its defense of the Voting Rights Act, and we now have Foxspeak and the internet to spread the racist line. One line in the Youtube guy's commentary that caught my attention and I heartily agree with, is that Fox and Friends doesn't really believe its racist diatribe. It does it because it feeds on anger and hate that give it and the Retrumplicans and the corporate interests who support it power. Unfortunately, the Youtube dude has no solutions, and neither do I--except keep your eyes on the ball, pay attention to a variety of news sources, vote, demonstrate and do the other things that used to work. Rhetoric about "Systemic Racism" may rally the choir, but it won't get through to the Fox watchers. We also need to stop calling them "conservatives" and call them what they really are: radical nativists (or Know Nothings, as they used to call them).

    Racism is not a bad thing, it’s not a good thing, it’s just stupid.

    Is that a good thing? I liked Nooka's sentiment.

    Has he done a sequel on the Uvalde school shootings and the Tulsa hospital shootings? If the guy is auditioning for a career as standup comedian, I think he should reconsider.

    It is a lovely thing. He spoke so little I almost remember everything he spoke.

    I don't think he's doing much these days since he's been suspended without pay, and once the paperwork is completed he will be terminated.
