    They DON'T GET IT! Not even a 'token negro' in the panel?? How about a half a negro?? Now, I would think if the producer of this segment, took the time to put a panel together, with Chyron graphics behind them EXCLAIMING 'Race in America', at some point, it would have dawned on him/her--maybe we oughta' FIND SOMEONE WITH SOME COLOR!

    Don't EVEN go, well this was posted by MEDIA MATTERS. Yes MM 'dared to notice'. Just like women DARED to notice a CONGRESSIONAL PANEL ON BIRTH CONTROL with a panel of 6 men. Yep, people NOTICE!

    (And before you go off on a tirade about 'made up' controversies, save your keystrokes. I will repeat what I've posted a thousand times on these boards. If this S didn't happen over and over and over and over and over...there would be NO posts that COULD go up on boards like this!)

    So only non-white people can discuss race?

    Only athletes can discuss sports.

    Only religious people can discuss religion?

    Admittedly I didnt see it, but im guessing your outrage is because its Fox and not because they didnt have a black man. Im willing to bet if they did have a black person on there, you would (*)(*)(*)(*)(*) there was only one or accuse Fox of trying to look 'less rscist'.

    Your faux outrage is noted.

    So "Race" means Black? Noone else has a race?

    The only thing you are proving is that your own bigotry does not allow white people to discuss racism.

    Do you feel the same way when all black people talk about racism or is it just whites that make you mad?

    No, but if you're discussing racial topics, it would be great if all the races in question contributed.

    Nobody has suggested that but you

    The same logic applies. If a discussion on religion is to take place, do we need to have a member of every religion there?

    Golleee geee whiz! We spent 230 years with ONLY WHITE PEOPLE discussing and LEGISLATING race. I think people of RACE oughta be included in discussions of RACE in the 21ST CENTURY! But who needs them, right??

    People of race??

    Not following you. Were the contributors on Fox Humans? if so...then they were all "people of race". Blacks dont have any claim to ownership on this type of discussion.

    WOW! Racist and sexist?? Could have been a BLACK woman. And no, if they had one, I simply WOULD EXPECT it. SPEAKING OF WHICH. I click over there from time to time. When they were tolerable in the beginning, I watched it and a guy named Juan Williams was on there ALOT. What happened to him?? I don't remember seeing him the past couple of years. Not 'white' or 'conservative' enough?

    Why doesn't Fox talk with people of other races and not about them?

    Why?

    Hasnt it been done enough? Maybe we ought to stop obsessing over it, and counting skin color. Our country is falling apart while we obsess over unimportant "issues".

    They know their audience...

    who actually believe the BEST people qualified to discuss race in America....are just white people. Especially given how whites have been oppressed and subjugated for years in America.

    Maybe they should have invited Al Sharpton so he can just blame everything on Whitey and you'd be happy.

    They wouldn't have been able to find any Black people to bring on who actually were oppressed and subjugated either. Slavery ended before anyone alive today was born. If it's a discussion on passed down info...you dont need to be black to be a part of it.

    wow if all races were included that would be a pretty big panel now wouldn't it ? You talking major race classification or sub groups ? but then even the sub groups could be further broken down into 5000 other races
    a quick google shows

    Caucasian races (Aryans, Hamites, Semites)
    Mongolian races (northern Mongolian, Chinese and Indo-Chinese, Japanese and Korean, Tibetan, Malayan, Polynesian, Maori, Micronesian, Eskimo, American Indian),
    Negroid races (African, Hottentots, Melanesians/Papua, “Negrito”, Australian Aborigine, Dravidians, Sinhalese
