And here is possibly the most offensive 60-seconds of television I’ve ever seen, in which Tucker Carlson’s guest said Tyre Nichols’ brutal killing by the police is what happens when you have “young black men being supervised by a single black woman” (Memphis PD has a black woman police chief). He blamed a lack of “male authority” and said this is what happens in cities “run by single black mothers.”

@rvawonk

Oh dear God let me have a discussion with those two alright. Bring it on. 🤬

@rvawonk
F🤬cking jason whitlock. He's the go-to source for when you want to get race-baiting 'hot takes' from a misogynistic culture warrior with daddy issues, BUT from a sports perspective.
@rvawonk They’ve said their next target is single mothers, so this tracks.
@rvawonk Well, Tucker has to tend to his base. Ugh.

@rvawonk Serious Umberto Eco Ur-Fascism "Our enemies are super-strong but also contemptibly weak" doublethink vibes here.

Is having women in power "pussifying" Western men or turning us into violent psychopaths? Por que no los dos I guess?

@rvawonk Tucker Carlson is a POS. People like Jesse Watters and Gutfeld are just a-holes who like being nasty because they think it's funny. Carlson comes off as someone who harbors such a massive resentment about not achieving something in his career that he's spending his time being as vile to the world as possible out of revenge. Jon Stewart crushing his dream of being the next PJ O'Rourke really got to him.
@rvawonk Misogyny underlies it all, just like in Nazi Germany.

@rvawonk
This is especially vile bc Tyre had a very close relationship with his mother, and bc he did nothing wrong !!

Once again the black victim is being demonized by the white supremacists on #foxnnews #tuckercarlson

@rvawonk Please, can we get content warning and sensitive media markings?
As important as such news content is, some of us PoC get triggered when we see such things and don't have a choice to "Show More" or unblur. Thank you.

My mastodon client is always set to hide media. If I see media, it means I had to tap it to unhide it, CW or no-CW. There are just too many things that are bad to consume that cannot be unseen, and people, collectively, cannot be trusted to respect my sensibilities.

Thinking more about it, *ucker Carlson is so predictably awful that anything that mentions him could stand to be filtered. Now and again I have to sample him to get a warning on the filth, but that's all.

@rvawonk
I've seen that guest before. He's pretty ignorant.
@rvawonk I immediately saw it was Jason Whitlock and turned off the video. No need to intake garbage from a garbage human being.
@rvawonk nothing like an auto play snuff film on the timeline.
@rvawonk this is a sick joke, right ?
