Fox News contributor Jehmu Greene, a black feminist, says on her Twitter page that “love can build a bridge.” But racism, not love, was on display last Thursday when she called conservative Tucker Carlson a “bow-tying white boy.”
Greene, a Democratic Party operative who was the national director of Project Vote, a group with close ties to the corrupt ACORN organization, has not offered a public apology. There is no indication that her financial relationship with Fox News has suffered as a result of the racial outburst.
“Jehmu apologized to Tucker by phone after the segment,” Irena Briganti, Group Senior Vice President at FOX News Channel & FOX Business Network, tells Accuracy in Media.
This is apparently the end of the matter for Fox News.
Robert Lifson of American Thinker pointed out that if Tucker Carlson had ever called Louis Farrakhan “a bow-tying black boy,” he would be out of a job.
What’s more, Greene said on the air that she had not done anything wrong.
“Hey, hey, hey,” reacted Carlson, at the slur. “You can’t, wait. Whoa, whoa, whoa…You can use name calling all you like, but you’re ignoring the truth.”
“I didn’t call you a name,” replied Greene.
So calling somebody a “white boy” is acceptable to Greene.
As a Fox News Contributor, Greene is on the Fox News payroll and is paid to be a regular commentator on different programs.

AIM had asked Fox News spokesperson Irena Briganti if Greene would be fired for making the racist remark. That is when Briganti informed us about the private apology, which is apparently supposed to suffice.

Exactly. The enemy must be shown for all its insanity and destructive hate, front and center. Same goes for that lying crapweasel Allen Colmes. Leftism should continued to be displayed to be mocked and ridiculed for the failure that it is.
I know of whole departments loaded with Hispanics to skirt these rules (successfully); no chip on their shoulder, happy to have a job. The same holds true for gubmint work (and the same thing is happening); the NAACP lawsuits alleging racism in testing is because the police/fire departments can meet a racial quota - it just doesn’t include any blacks.
Here I'll fix it for you.
Jehmu? Isn’t that the name of the Black Killer Whale at Sea World? Now, everything's in back in order.
to #8: Well. Jehmu Greene is no Aunt Jemima, but she might be a “Jehmu Greene Melon”, Green on the outside, red on the inside.
Where do they find these racist idiots? “Idiots R Us” (aka the Democrat Party)?
I’ve got to tell you, this and the Zimmerman incident, along with a couple of other things tells me that there is an underlying hatred of whites and rage towards whites in the community of people of color.
It is becoming more and more evident.
Maybe what she said was not really racist or bigoted but it was certainly nasty and mean spirited.
That’s why I don’t watch her and others like her and that’s why she should be shown the door.
For her to just blurt out a comment like that. . . she probably has used similar comments in another venue.
JAF0V...
Helps to explain why I no longer watch Fox News. Hell, I haven’t watched TV news in years.
Trayvon Martin, hoodies, & sagging jeans
I prefer to listen to black men like that who would call Jehmu a buck-dancing savage.
Fox is owned to a large extent by Saudi interests. Since The Obammunist is the Saudi’s boy, don’t hold your breath on anything of substance being done about Jehmu the Orca.
I fast-forward thru whatever Greene is saying b/c I know it’s just more of her racial agenda.
Greene slurred Carlson publicly, she should at least be made to apologize publicly as well to have a chance to keep her job at Fox. But, no, that might cause a racial stir. Blacks can say and do anything they please, knowing the press, both liberal and conservative, have their backs. Such as the black mob attacking those white Virginian-Pilot reporters and everybody being afraid to even mention the attack, much less investigate it
BOR is reporting on it but then he and his pal Bernie say if you are white and you react to the white reporters getting attacked by the black mob, you are a bigot. They are as big of a problem as the head-in-sand MSM. In fact, they may well represent the bigger media problem in this affair. They want it both ways: Report the story but then they still try to curry favor w/ the black and progressive establishment by telling people not to examine the problem critically and see it for what it is: black on white racial hate.
“I’ve got to tell you, this and the Zimmerman incident, along with a couple of other things tells me that there is an underlying hatred of whites and rage towards whites in the community of people of color.”
I’m fortunate enough to work with a black woman who told me point-blank that black people hate white people (in a friendly discussion). She has to conceal from our black co-workers that she intends to vote for Obama; her college-age daughter has graduated and moved out, and she’s leaning right fiscally now that her income tax bill has risen as a result of that (no dependents).
Why?
Okay...Fire Fox News.
Done.
She probably has and to let it pass without any reprimand is wrong.
I know people laugh about what Rodney King said, as in “Can’t we all just get along?” but truly that is the question isn’t it?
I look at my son’s two best friends who are black, and don’t see any of that tension or anger and I am so glad. They are great young men who have been a part of our family for many years.
I can understand why your friend feels the need to hide her intent to vote against Obama, the backlash would probably be fierce to admit anything other than support for him.
My daughter’s best friend until a sophomore in HS was the sister of one of my son’s best friends. They all grew up together and spent hours and hours together. When they were sophomores in HS they were on the basketball team and my daughter was the only white girl. The other girls were brutal to her and her friend was told when she stood up for her that she would get the same unless she stopped.
Sadly, she did and eventually my daughter quit the team and their friendship fizzled.
I’m sorry; I mis-spoke: She intends to vote for Romney, and really preferred Santorum.
You are so right! One FOX show I do enjoy is Fox News Watch which airs on Saturday afternoon at 2:30 pm and repeats again at 11:30 pm. Hosted by Jon Scott, the show points out examples of media bias during the previous week. They have two conservatives and two liberal panel members. The liberals they usually have on do sometimes try to be objective, but Jehmu was on for the first time this past Saturday along with liberal guy I have never seen before and hope to never see again. The two of them were so programed with the liberal line that I could hardly finish watching the show. If they knew how stupid they appear to anyone who is truly informed, they would refuse to go on.
