Fox News Host Joins Racist Twitter Rants On Miss America Winner (VIDEO)

This year’s Miss America is the stunningly beautiful Nina Davuluri. She was crowned the 2014 Miss America Pageant winner last night. To be honest, I am not a fan of parading women on a stage being judged by middle aged men generally gawking at their physical attributes more so than their intellectual attributes. I understand these ladies win scholarships and do otherwise good community service. That is no excuse for these types of contests.

That said, I knew it would not be long before the Twitter space was engulfed with the cancer that still afflicts a distinct minority in this country, racism. What is sad is the racists online in their utterances not only show that they are racist toward others, but they show they are patently ignorant and uninformed.

Ms. Davuluri, 24, is of Indian descent but is a full blooded Syracuse New York born American citizen no different than any blue eyed blond American lady.

The following is representative of the racist and rather ignorant tweets. One can see the distinct similarities with the statements one would hear from hacks on the Fox News channels and from other Right Wing mis-informers. It is evident they have been effective in educating their base. This is what makes these Right Wing hacks so dangerous.

Full Story with videos and tweets below.

Trust me, its much bigger than you might think. The level of hatred that comes out any time someone who is not white makes headlines speaks for itself. Now just imagine how many racists out there don't use Twitter or Facebook. We are far from being "post-racial", whatever the hell that's supposed to be.
