The story that prompted this article is so bizarre, it took me a while to figure out what the guy on Fox actually was saying. Apparently, there is some new study out that stays people who are married are less likely or more likely to get Alzheimer's.......I don't know which. Now the Fox commentator in question is saying the study makes sense if you're talking about Sweden or say Germany because those societies are pure but it would not be applicable in the US because we are not pure. Why he says that about America is because a German American might marry a Swedish American or an Irish American might marry a Dutch American. In other words we have so mixed up the nationalities that we are impure. The other Fox commentators were stunned by this jerk's comments and someone off camera is whistling: "If I only had a brain". Its all very funny but it goes to show you how these assholes think in terms of ethnic and racial purity. Its not that far from Hitler's Germany and its disgusting. Journalists Of Color Demand Fox News Apologize For Brian Kilmeade Comments Huffington Post \| Peter Drivas First Posted: 07-13-09 03:12 PM UNITY: Journalists of Color, Inc., a "multicultural coalition of national journalism organizations with an outreach to over 10,000 supporters," has issued a petition calling on Fox News and its parent company, News Corp. to take steps to remedy recent offending remarks made by "Fox and Friends" co-host Brian Kilmeade on the show's July 8 episode. The remarks in question came during a discussion of a recent survey that found that married people in Sweden and Finland are less susceptible to the symptoms of Alzheimer's than unmarried people. Kilmeade disregarded the relevancy of the survey for Americans, saying "we [Americans] keep marrying other species and other ethnicities . . . Swedes have pure genes . . . in America we marry everybody..." WATCH KILMEADE MAKE THAT STATEMENT HERE UNITY called Kilmeade's statement "beyond silly and worthy of ridicule", based on "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.'" UNITY has called upon Fox News to "issue an immediate apology for Mr. Kilmeade's offensive comments" and "enter into a serious discussion on the program regarding intermarriage and the value of diversity in our society." The petition is available online here. huffingtonpost.com
