Jeanine Pirro Goes Full Racist, Demonstrates Ignorance Of Racial Profiling

Fox Host Jeanine Pirro said that minorities need to be more “sensitive” to cops, whatever that means. I guess if you are a person of color you must work extra hard to blindly follow authority in order to survive every encounter with police no matter how illegal or abusive it may be. She also put her foot in her mouth again by saying just because there was a black cop on the scene, there was no racial motivation. Stop the presses! Racial profiling doesn’t exist because we have black cops.

Pirro also arrogantly asked a viewer if he knew what racial profiling was, and then proceeded to say it’s “law enforcement engainge the minority community.” She couldn’t be more wrong. She then said that a person’s race “is the only way to investigate some of these cases.” So, in other words, ?if you’re a person of color you must be guilty. You normally would expect a judge to know what racial profiling is. But not this one. She enjoyed a short career as a prosecutor, and then a judge. However, due to allegations that she illegally wiretapped her husband, her career was reduced to being a daytime TV judge who then had a failed political career.

After that stint, she?was hired by Fox News, where ethics and competence are not required; in fact, they are quite frowned upon.

Jeanine Pirro, I don’t know what is worse, your stupidity or your racism. The only thing the public needs to be sensitive to is the fact that your show and all of FOX News is total bull crap. The public is mad as hell and they have every right to be. The only thing you and the rest of FOX are doing is pouring gasoline on the fire. Also it was real classy how you tokenized a person of color to help your argument. I bet you aren’t racist because you have black friends. Its wishful thinking on my part but maybe you will one day be sensitive to the public’s desire for you and other right wing talking heads to shut the hell up. That would be a Christmas miracle.
