Default Adding to the Racial Tensions....

Quanell X is a well known black activist here in Houston. The local fox channel gives him a chance to argue out certain cases against a lawyer on their show as part of showing both sides.

Unfortunately Quanell will argue until his face turns blue that if he's black he's innocent, his most recent would be last night trying to defend an accused pimp.

His argument was it's legal for the white guy in Las Vegas at the bunny ranch, therefore it must be racist that the black guy can't do it in a wealthy neighborhood in Houston.

There's not too many people I've met more racist than that. I did a little searching and it turns out this gem is the head of the local New Black Panthers.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quanell_X
I'm all for showing two sides of a story, but to outright support racism by having him on TV is just too far.

I'm really to the point of about to complain to fox about supporting racism.

What are y'alls thoughts?

Well, Houston does have a rather horrible lib infestation. What'd you expect? Sheila Jackson Lee?

Actually it's not legal in Las Vegas, and the Bunny Ranch is not located there.

It's good that they're being publicized. Knowledge is power. Know your enemy.

Racism is unacceptable from either side of the fence, and needs to be treated as such.

You can't tell that to a racist, though.
