So Eric Bolling, formerly of
Fox News, was in a interview on
the BBC and I think he thought he
can pull a Piers Morgan.
After I Aisha Mills called him out
over his phony concern over the
plight of black people in Atlanta.
Let's take a look at the clip.
>> To run around and claim that
they care about the economic
condition of black communities and
black businesses when that's all
a lie, okay?
There's nothing in their policies
[COUGH] >> Eric I'm so sorry,
I'm going to let Aisha finish.
>> I don't work for the Biden
administration never have but what
I am is a black person in America.
And everything that these
voting laws stand for, and
what they look like are reminiscent
to the Jim Crow policies that my
family's lived under this every
single thing about it.
So this is all about
racial discrimination and
how dare you try to act like you
are somehow a proponent of
black people in businesses.
Just to make a point and
to try to create a wedge.
It's ignorant and
it's just disrespectful.
>> That's disgusting.
I'm done.
Put me off. That's disgusting.
I am nowhere near anything you're
painting me to be.
And the problem with American
politics is exactly that.
Because I'm white,
you think I'm racist?
That's BS, I'm done.
>> Eric, will you just stay for
this question?
>> So the question we've got,
Aisha, is stay for
one question, Eric.
Let me put this here because- >> I
don't know why I'm staying here.
I need an apology.
>> Let me put to you the question
that Mitch McConnell was saying.
>> I'm not going to apologize for
being offended.
>> Aisha okay.
>> I'm out.
>> I think we've lost Eric.
>> [LAUGH] So just for a little
more context and of course,
this is in response to the voter
suppression laws that are spreading
around the country but specifically
in the state of Georgia.
The Major League Baseball move the
all star game out of the city of
Atlanta and Eric Bolling along with
a lot of conservatives are trying
to make this seem as if it is
a directly negative thing for black
businesses in the city of Atlanta.
Now, there's a lot of things
around this that really shows
how phony that concern actually is.
But he was actually responding
mostly to the fact that she said
that as a white republican him
specifically he had no right to try
to drive this wedge.
And I think it's important that
we give the proper context of
Eric Bolling because simply knowing
his record at Fox News really
underscores everything that
Aisha Mills was saying.
This is Eric Bolling,
basically telling Maxine Waters to
stop smoking crack.
>> Houses, the Congresswoman,
you saw what happened to
Whitney Houston.
Step away from the crack pipe stuff
away from Roseanne.
[CROSSTALK] >> He's going to
get you in trouble.
How does he explain those kind of
things?
[LAUGH] >> Now here's a little
bit more of Bowling as
he says there's basically no racism
in this country.
>> It's almost getting it,
is it's getting tiring.
We have a black president.
We have black senators.
We have black heads of captains of
business, companies.
We have black
entertainment channels.
Where is the racism?
I don't think there's racism.
I think the only people
perpetuating racism are people like
this gentleman from the NAACP are
the Al Sharpton is of the world.
Let's move on.
>> Yeah, right.
Reverend Barber is perpetuating
racism, right?
Last but not least, here is a clip
of Eric Bolling basic.
We'll just watch.
>> Guess who's coming to dinner?
A dictator Mr. Obama shares a laugh
with one of Africa's kleptocrats.
It's not the first time he's
had a hoodlum in his house.
Smile for the birdie.
Our president sitting with one of
Africa's most wanted.
It's not the first time he's had
a hood in the big crib.
>> So needless to say Aisha Mills
was 100% correct calling
him out very specifically saying
that this full concern and
outrage over black businesses
losing business because the MLB
moved the all star game out because
of Georgia's voter suppression laws
is basically full of crap.
Genkan Jr, what do you think?
>> Yeah,
I like to twist he put on canceled
culture where he canceled himself.
He'll probably then complain about
it like my god is canceled
culture is out of control.
Look at what I did to myself
the other day.
It shows a certain
amount of entitlement like and and
the right wing is used to that,
it's I don't know that it's fake.
I think that they genuinely feel
like I get to dominate
the conversation.
I get to call you any name I like.
But if you dare question me or
challenged me back well, I didn't
sign up for that I signed up or
being superior to you, equal and
you get equal time and you get to
criticize me as I criticize you.
That's not how this works, well,
it's a sad day for you.
That is how it works now.
So if you want to be a baby and
you want to cry and
you want to leave, okay,
then only she'll speak.
And who cares?
So- >> Yeah, go ahead.
>> Go ahead.
>> So it's frustrating if someone
accuses you of being racist or
actually not even being racist, but
actually having no idea what you're
talking about.
Because this particular scenario
with voting rights in this part
of the country, all parts of the
country whenever they have these
restrictions on people voting.
If you have an issue with it,
you have to explain why it's okay
not to say hey, you know what?
We could do because we get to, and
you guys have these problems
with election integrity.
None of those things actually come
through and
bear out with any kind of facts.
So this is where
the outrage comes in.
Once you get cornered and you have
no argument to continue this
debate, it turns into an explosion
we just saw with Lele Terell.
Once someone says you have no idea
what you're talking about because
you the disingenuous or you just
clueless, use an app to go,
I can't believe this.
See this? What's wrong with
this country?
We're not talking about what's
wrong with this country.
We're not talking about accusations
of racism and
how you don't like that.
If you don't like those
accusations, and if you don't like
people pointing out what you say.
Means something, you should
probably try to prove them wrong.
say, well, what I've done.
I've done this.
I've done that and
I'm done the third thing.
As a matter of fact,
because of four or five and
six is reason why this law needs to
be implemented in this area.
As Ben, I think you were pointing
out specifically with what's good,
who actually lives in this
area was- >> Yes.
>> In this area.
You're going to get.
But not going to step on that,
I promise.
So, the one thing stood out to me
with his running away.
First he got up and came back.
He had to check one more time.
He's like, man, I think she just
won and I bet If we can't let my
ego sit here and let this black
woman tell me what to do.
I need to check one more time and
make sure see if
she's going to apologize to me,
then I'll feel better about myself.
That didn't
happen then he can leave.
When you want to leave, if I'm that
angry and someone has insulted me
to that degree and I'm ready to
leave, I'm not ready to leave.
I have left and steady
circles back because it's an act.
He's trying to make sure that he's
putting in place,
I'm going to threaten something.
And when the white man threatens to
leave, man.
When I come back, they're going to
start respecting me.
And he was surprised that they
didn't including the hosts.
That's what he really thought was
going to jump on his side and
be like, no, don't go Eric.
Hey, do you want to apologize to
Eric?
We don't.
>> [LAUGH] I'm not because he I
think he thought that this was
like mainstream journalism here
in the United States.
But anyway, the tactic here is
really conservatives trying to use
their full concerned about black
businesses, as a way of
neutralizing the protests and
the boycotts of the city.
The thing is, is that I know where
the stadium is sun Park Stadium
where the Braves play with all star
game was supposed to be it and
I can tell you.
First of all, it's Atlanta, but
it's Cobb County and
anyone who's ever been in
Cobb County you know or even read
up on Cobb County, you know that it
is predominantly white.
And the entire area around
it Is predominantly white.
The businesses are certainly not
African American businesses.
They are predominantly white
businesses.
Now this doesn't mean that major
league baseball
fans would have left and gone and
sought out Fulton County to go find
some black establishments.
But seriously speaking like this is
just a red herring.
I Again, where Republicans
are trying to use something to
deflate and to deflect from the
fact that they are in trouble here.
Because companies are finally
lining up on the right side of
the issue so all of this is just
a dog and pony show.
And the fact that Aisha Mills
knowing Eric Bolton's past was able
to just call him out instantly and
say like you have all people don't
have the right to call out anybody
or to try to show concern rather,
as it pertains to
black communities.
Because you have a long standing
history of racism just by virtue of
even being on Fox News, let alone
those clips that we played.
>> Okay, real quickly we go through
some funny parts of the story that
I want to make one serious point.
Jayar said, you didn't
tell us what you did that was so
great that it leads us to believe
you're not racist, right?
And whenever they're forced to do
something it they always
do something absurd.
I remember this.
This is not Eric Bull.
What is a different guy who said,
no, I'm not racist.
I want to let a black man use my
bathroom.
[LAUGH] Whoa, okay.
I didn't know you were that
merciful, all right?
So, in this particular case,
in that old Fox News clip we showed
you where he's like, and he
had hoodlums in the house, right?
In his house.
Yeah, yeah.
And then he showed common.
Common?
And then let's note for the record
that Trump had Kanye West at
the White House and they were like,
Kanye's here, Kanye's here He's
going to rap for us!
We have a black rapper on our side.
What happened to hoodlums?
Interesting, right?
And then he said in the beginning
of his answer, put me off.
And then he went on kept on
talking I thought you wanted
to be put on what happened dog,
>> [LAUGH] Never meant it.
100 chairs 100% right about that.
And my favorite was racism.
We have black entertainment
channels in America.
Wow, well that'll do it, if I,.
[LAUGH] We're
definitely not racist.
And anyway, I don't want to get
into the history of
that last thing is the series born.
He said you're saying all this
because I'm white.
No, no you're defending a bill
that makes it harder for
black people in Georgia vote.
Not only that, they then brag about
how it's easier if that same bill
makes it easier to vote in white
rural areas.
So it is explicitly harkening back
to Jim Crow and trying to prevent
Black folks from voting on a non
existent fraud issue him the people
who said it was non existent.
Or in Georgia Republicans who told
Trump over and over again.
There was no fraud.
They turn around immediately
afterwards go fraud such a giant
problem in Georgia.
The Golly Gee,
we just had to make sure as little
black people voted as possible and
as many white people as possible.
No, she's calling you out on your
actual policy position.
So don't do a red herring or
in this case a white herring.
Just going to come in and go, you
just sitting because I'm white or
they hate me because I'm white.
No, we're calling out your
racist position, which is voter
suppression of black voters.
>> Ironically, my last point is
actually a republican talking point
that tries to point out how white
democrats actually don't care about
the issues and
concerns of their black voters.
They just use them as the shield,
to not seem racist as they are, and
they actually don't want to do
anything for black folks,
or actually don't do anything for
black folks.
And you know what?
In some cases they're right.
The reasons why they can throw that
assessment out there it's because
they do it all the time.
The only time you talk about black
folks one time they talk about
black babies, when you talk about
the black family or intend to talk
about black businesses is when it
benefits them to talk about it
as a shield for anything else.
So they can push their anti women
that control over women's bodies.
Or mean, black babies get killed by
abortion.
How much do you talk about that?
And if you're going to talk about
black families being dismantled,
do you ever talk about
the prison system?
Do you talk about over policing?
Do you talk about how much the
incarceration rates overly affect
minorities versus the white folks
in this country for the same crime?
Do you talk about those things if
you worry about the dismantling of
the black family?
Family or
the death of black babies, or
in this case,
the problem with black businesses?
Do you ever talk about this
unless it helps you?
No you don't, you don't care.
