On Wednesday, Carlson addressed the controversy over his comments by telling critics to “calm down,” mildly acknowledging that racism is indeed a problem but that the country faces other issues. At the end of his broadcast, meanwhile, Carlson announced that he was going on vacation and wouldn’t be back until August 19.

you should calm down

Fox News silent after Tucker Carlson calls white supremacy a “hoax.” The host sparked intense backlash and outrage when he dismissed concerns about white supremacy just 72 hours after a Texas man allegedly killed 22 people in El Paso after apparently posting a racist manifesto decrying a “Hispanic invasion.”

You are pretty off base. Your Trump comparisons to racism are taken out of content and subject to opinion. I understand you want to make your opinion the rule of law, but it isn't. Calling someone racist, is obviously subjective based on bias. So if it is subjective based on opinon, you can truly only call someone a racist when they do a heinous act while declaring racism.

On the Carlson, don't be so daft and cherry pick what you take literally. What he is saying is that "White Supremacy" as the main cause of the shooting and social discourse is not real. White Supremacist make up a minority of the population and only around 20% of total hate groups while the population is over 50% white. As of late, hate groups in general are on the rise. Not just white hate groups, ALL hate groups.

Now the question lies, do you think hate groups are on the rise from Trump in your terms "advocating white nationalism" even though there are several videos of his denouncing hate and racism or do you think the hate groups are formed from people like yourself that when you disagree with someone, they are a racist bigot. Putting on the perception that racism is real and on the rise and in turn, causes racism to radicalize.

You are not that bright, calling something racist is subjective. That is a fact. If you can't comprehend that, I don't know what to tell you.

But yes, calling false racism for anything you see exacerbates the issue. It's similar to your point of view that if Trump says anything that has anything to do with immigration, you think it exacerbates the issue.

I get it though...it only makes sense from your point of view. Spoken like a true safe space warrior.

When you can debate with any facts, you resort to calling someone a racist, baby boomer or something along those lines. Some real intellectuals here.

This is not a debate, did I hurt your feelings?

Trump has run over 2,000 Facebook ads warning of 'invasion'
