Fox at it again: dresses black kid up as watermelon for Halloween segment
Quote:Fox & Friends dresses up black child as watermelon for Halloween segment

During a Halloween costume segment, President Donald Trump’s favorite morning program showed off some ideas for this year’s Halloween holiday.

And while white children were dressed as robots and rainbows, one black child was forced to wear a costume that some might consider to be racially insensitive.

As a non-American I don't get it. What's racially insensitive about a water melon?

This is why conservatives don't take accusations of bigotry seriously. Stop sharing this shit.

Should anyone honestly care if conservatives take racism seriously. I mean they not going to anyway .They will just mount the usual excuses.

So much this.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

I also wouldn't be making tropes about blacks picking cotton either.

Fox triggering loads of people. Regressives triggered by a watermelon costume (and the kid might not even be black. Hard to tell) Fundies triggered by the kid wearing the rainbow costume.
