More eviedence that racism is still in effect. Brian Kilmeade of Fox News showed us how he really feels.Brian Kilmeade, co-host of Fox & Friends, apologized for remarks he made about American ethnicity during a recent telecast on the Fox News Channel.
Discussing a Swedish study on the relationship between Alzheimer's disease and marriage, Kilmeade said it was problematic to compare Swedish and American populations, because, "we [Americans] keep marrying other species and other ethnics . . . Swedes have pure genes . . . in America we marry everybody . . ."
Unity: Journalists of Color, condemned Kilmeade's words, saying they lent credence to "the basest of white supremacist ideologies, the notion that white people and non-white people are of different species, with the white race as 'pure.'"
Monday on Fox & Friends, Kilmeade said he did not intend to offend anyone with his earlier remarks: "Looking back on those comments, I realize they were inappropriate. I sincerely apologize. America is a huge melting pot and that is what makes us such a great country."
