valerileist That Fox Entertainment commentator thinks he is amusing Got the gear .1 % black NO WORDS!!😠

He had a lot of black show polish.

call me a cynic, all right, but did he wear a blackface?

Not offensive, but seriously doubt he had ALL the gear. 😂

What does he want to be when he grows up?

Grrrr, Bill Cosby.

He was a WIGGER: slang, often offensive : a usually young white person whose clothing, language, and mannerisms are regarded as imitative of those stereotypically associated with African-Americans : a white person who admires and seeks to emulate black culture

OMG

He says the dumbest things.

And so he's working for racist FoxNews. I call BULLSHIT.

Who hired the moron?

And now he is just someone whose veins can be seen in the sun and whose hair is like string. Cool.

Bet He didn’t have “all the gear,” just the clothes.

oh no now its racist for white kids to have black hero's ......

Except for the large penis .

I usually skip these stories because this guy is too stupid to be taken seriously

Another example of Fox poo

Why is this stunning? Every woke white person is apologizing for being white...Doesn't it follow that they want to be something else?

Well, there you go. Definitely NOT a racist because, you know, he actually WANTED to be black once!

Right, because you just need “gear” to be black. No wonder he ended up on Fox News

Do they get paid a salary or per offensive statement?

I bet he loves bbc and getting pegged by bbc

Leave it to unhinged leftists to turn this little bit of humor into racism. LiberalismIsAMentalDisease

Say bye-bye to this clown he should have taken that kind of humor to an off beat nightclub

Good example of having the privilege of being oblivious to oppression.

Those seems like something Elise Stefanik would agree with right? MaddieWAnderson

Elizabeth Warren says she has Native American DNA. But she doesn’t make a mockery of the people. You sir are a disgrace

What the 🤬?

It’s never too late. But, why wait?

.....and now he wants to be thought of as relevant. Really odd fellow.

Fire him!

What?

He wasn’t the sharpest kid, was he?

Saggy pants - check. Dark shades - check. Hoody - check. Existentially diminished potential of gaining real wealth - ...

Fox news.

WTAF?

🤦🏾‍♀️

Be outraged. Newsweek is telling you to be.

People changing their gender, might as well change up your race.

What? Guns, drugs and no dad?

A whole lot of weirdos on Fox News

Omg. That was during the CLINTON and BIDEN era!!!! 1994 crime bill ruined many blacks lives because of them.

As a KID. Like some kids wanted to be a firefighter or a pilot.

Hi. JesseBWatters is a racist. Bye.

Whilst sitting directly next to a black man, no less.

Rather shallow, as usual ,for'Fox Juicy news'.

You mean Ex Fox host

🤣😳

It's called a joke....

The Johnson. A theme with these assholes.

Did he wear blackface like the Democrat Virginia governor?

Stay classy Fox

Newsweek wanted to be a black publication like Ebony but oh well.

How weak. Rachel Dolezal is the OG. She didn't just want it—she pulled it off!

...

La Gear?

This clown is such a tool. Watch his Chinatown video...

Oh do tell us, what 'gear' was that? Shoe polish?

And this is why I hate Fox News!!!

Yep...there just aren't enough psychiatrists to go around...🤪

I guess the stupidity is contagious on FoxNews

Typical Republican fake sizement.

Seems he’s got Trump’s fantasy ego.

What the heck does this mean?
