Quote of the Week
Fox News genius John Gibson on how he knew the shooter at a Cleveland High School wasn’t a hip hopper (his code word for black):
“Hip-hoppers do not kill themselves. They walk away. Now, I didn’t need to hear the kid was white with blond hair. Once he’d shot himself in the head, no hip-hopper.” Gibson later stated, “I know the shooter was white. I knew it as soon as he shot himself. Hip-hoppers don’t do that. They shoot and move on to shoot again.”
…Gibson continued: “So when I heard the kid shot himself, I said, well, you know, ordinarily I would expect it to maybe be a rapper, thug, gangster on campus with his nine — ‘I shining my nine, you know how I do.’ But, you know, it turns out it was a kid who would shoot himself — well, story over, not a black kid.”
If you read the transcript, you’ll note how Gibson repeatedly tries to blame it on hip hop despite the fact that the kid was a Marilyn Manson fan.
So what is his point exactly?
I’m sure he hates that the kid who did the shooting was white and not *gasp* black.
When did “hip-hoppers” start going on shooting rampages in schools?
As we’re equating “hip-hoppers” with gangsters and thugs here, I’ll also ask, when did gangsters start wasting bullets on random people?
Does Fox News employ anyone who isn’t an asshat?
I guess it’s only ok for white ppl to kill innocent ppl if it’s done under the guise of “spreading freedom and democracy.” Anything else is apparently totally unbelievable.
He completely obscures the fact that this child committed a crime? Someway, somehow, it is still the fault of black people. Even though the criminal was white and mostly crimes like this are committed by white people - as he admitted. He is one of those blame the black person people, everything is the fault of those who are not white. The child was troubled, the childs mother brought him guns and ammuntion, why are we not talking about that, why are we blaming black people for this crime.
