“I’m sick and tired of this White House as I was sick and tired of this campaign treating people less than whether they’re different because they’re black, whether they’re different because they crossed a border, or they’re different because they worship a different god, or their god is known by a different name…. I am tired of difference being disrespected and mistreated by this White House.”

Those words came from Angela Rye today on CNN as she faced off against Joe Walsh, former Illinois congressperson and current massive dickhead who has demonstrated that he’ll pander to any group of right-wing misanthropes if it means getting votes or listeners to his dumbass radio show, even going so far as to “joke” that had Hillary Clinton won the 2016 election, he was going to “grab [his] musket.”

After Angela made her comment, Joe started shouting at Angela and the CNN host, “Hey, Brooke…Angela…Angela…Brooke” to which Angela Rye immediately replied, “I’m not talking to bigots, Joe. I’m not talking to bigots.”

So, what compelled Angela Rye to respond to MusketMan in such a way?

Angela immediately opened her phone and read two tweets from the Tea Party Prick.

Here they are:

Okay, first…what the fuck? Liberal white guilt wouldn’t allow criticism? Did Joe Walsh not have the Internet between January, 2009 and January, 2017? No criticism of President Obama? Are you kidding me? Anyway, I digress….

Angela Rye then went on to ask CNN why they continue to give bigots like Joe Walsh a platform, and then had to further explain the reality faced by most non-whites in the United States in which a white man can be thrice-divorced and openly brag about sexually assaulting women and still be elected president, while every single black man who is not married to their child’s mother must all shoulder the responsibility (at the behest of white America) of every single failing of every single black American in the nation.

And then, white resentment hucksters like Joe “I Refuse to Pay Child Support” Walsh try to whitesplain why black people really succeed in America. Surprise! It’s not because they are skilled and talented, it’s because white people suffering from “white guilt” (fuck you, Joe Walsh) bestow success upon them.

Then, people like Joe Fucking Walsh act surprised and wounded that anyone would consider him a bigot for suggesting such a thing.

The reality is that channels like CNN keep inviting irredeemable fucks like Joe Walsh on because it’s great for ratings, and that is why reactions and responses like Angela Rye’s are the best when faced with sharing a screen with socially accepted racists: accept the invitation from CNN, and then force the conversation to be about the casual racism of white resentment from people like Joe Walsh whose racist bullshit gets normalized by agencies like CNN.

Today’s blog title comes from the only verse in a song about racism by Sly and the Family Stone.
