FOX & Friends of Racism

If this clip weren’t from Fox & Friends, I would think this was totally unbelievable. After his co-host reported on a study from Finland that shows married people have a lower risk of Alzheimer’s Disease, host Brian Kilmeade enlightens us:

We keep marrying other species and other ethnics and — The problem is the Swedes have pure genes because they marry other Swedes because that’s the rule. Finland — Finns marry other Finns so they have a pure society. In America, we marry everybody. We marry Italians and Irish. It does not apply to us.

And you thought he was going to say that’s why no gay civilizations have survived. But seriously. WTF. And you know that he thinks he didn’t really say something racist, because Swedes, Finns, Italians, and the Irish are all White. I mean, it’s not like he’s saying that White people are better than Black people, so it’s all good, right? No. He just reiterated this idea that there’s a pure race, and that the pure race has blonde hair and blue eyes, two characteristics that have been widely associated with Swedes and Finns. I’m afraid of what this guy thinks about Black people.
