Idiot on Interracial Dating/Marriage
On the July 8, 2009 episode of the morning show "Fox and Friends," co-anchor Brian Kilmeade lost his marbles when discussing a study on marriage and Alzheimer's that was conducted in Sweden and Finland.
Mr. Kilmeade stated: "we [Americans] keep marrying other species and other ethnics . . . Swedes have pure genes . . . in America we marry everybody..."
Notice that Mr. Kilmeade doesn't even stop talking when his cohosts try to cut into his crazy monologue with notably uncomfortable laughter. Mr. Kilmeade remained clueless.
Mr. Kilmeade is apparently the resident white supremacist on "Fox and Friends" and UNITY: Journalists of Color, Inc., a multicultural coalition of national journalism organizations with an outreach to over 10,000 supporters, hereby calls for Fox News and its parent company, News Corporation, to:
* Issue an immediate apology for Mr. Kilmeade's offensive comments
* Enter into a serious discussion on the program regarding intermarriage and the value of diversity in our society.
Do check out "Mixedchild.com", a website devoted to mixed children who are the products of interracial unions.
