Racial attacks by media don’t hurt White Americans, so it’s okay to attack them based on their race, an African-American Studies professor told Fox News Host Tucker Carlson on Wednesday.

Carlson, making the case that it’s wrong to attack anyone on the basis of race, asked University of Maryland Prof. Jason Nichols why it’s not wrong for media to attack White people.

Professor Nichols replied that the racial attacks are justified, “Because…it would not affect White people”:

Carlson: “If we really believe it’s wrong to attack people on the basis of their race, why isn’t it wrong to attack people on the basis of their race?” Prof. Nichols: “Because, if you put out one of those articles and Black people or Mexican people, or whomever, said that about White people – let’s say eighty percent of the Black outlets and Latino outlets said these things about White people. “It would not affect White people in terms of their socio-economic status, their health outcomes, their housing, their education, or incarceration. None of that would be affected.”

Carlson didn’t buy the professor’s justification of making racial attacks on Whites.
