So, I don’t mean to blow all of your minds, but it appears that Fox News host Tucker Carlson is racist.
No, no, really it’s true. Sure, it might be hard to believe that the guy who responded to the death of Tyre Nichols by making a George Floyd joke might have something against Black people, but all indications point to the very real probability that the news personality who brought a white supremacist on his show to explain that Black people are jealous because white people are so much smarter than us is, indeed, an anti-Black bigot. Who would have thought, right? I mean, some of Carlson’s favorite guests are Candace Owens, Jason Whitlock, and I’m sure a few Black people as well.
Still, recently, Carlson used his platform to air out his white male grievances about the number of Black women President Joe Biden selected to be federal judges.
“Out of 97 federal judges confirmed under Joe Biden, total number of white men: five,” he said Monday night. “Twenty-two are Black women, so this is race-based hiring. It’s illegal!”

It’s almost as if Carlson is, once again, showing that he believes when white men dominate a field it’s due to merit, not racial and gender exclusion, but when anyone else, especially Black women, starts getting positions it’s due to dangerous diversity run amok, which will lead to a lesser quality of work because, obviously, only white men are qualified to do things and do them well.
But, nah, that can’t be right. Because if it was it would mean the guy who has used his platform to denounce critical race theory…
