And as we all know, Geraldo is right about everything.

Well, if there’s ANYONE who would know about declining into irrelevancy…

“Where is the outrage of the 100 Baltimore citizens who’ve been shot dead this year?” Geraldo asked. “There is none.”

Well, I’ll ask you the same question, Mr. Rivera: Where was your outrage of the 100 Baltimore citizens who’ve been shot dead this year? Where was FOX Entertainment’s reporting on the subject?

You people are the mass media–Number One in cable news, I’m told–but if your viewers never see any reporting (you know, all fair and balanced-like), how can there be any outrage?

It isn’t so much that the outrage isn’t there…but like back in the 1950’s and 1960’s, the outrage wasn’t seen because the news outlets weren’t covering it. Basically, they want Civil Rights Groups to go away…and they don’t.

If the death of Freddie Gray causes oppression to end, yes. But somehow I don’t see the civil rights movement running out of reasons to go on.

I wish I had a hundredth of this clown’s money for every instance I’ve heard of where inner-city people marched or otherwise demanded an end to the violence caused by the drug trade that’s one of the few sources of income available to far too many. They’re tired of going to funerals for their children, you oblivious superficial fuck, and if you don’t know about it that’s not their fault.

Geraldo, it’s you job to report the shootings in Baltimore yet you don’t. You and Fox are far more interested in denigrating Obama at every turn. How convenient that you ignore that young black man who got upin your face about what you DON’T report. And then you place blame elsewhere.

Geraldo trying to out-geraldo himself…

Not a pretty sight.

Here’s a little something just for you Geraldo:

Rivera has always been rather childish. I surprised no one takes him on for that. Take this:

“Where is the outrage of the 100 Baltimore citizens who’ve been shot dead this year?” Now that sounds like a real ‘hit em in the gut’ to Geraldo. Who knows where the outrage was? Is Geraldo suggesting no one gave a shit about these 100 people or saying no one cared about Freddie because they did not care about the others? Who knows if they did or didn’t cere? How many of the 100 were killed by Cops when innocent of any crime?

Geraldo is consistent though. Anytime there is an issue involving the death of a Black person he’s all in for the ones that killed him and against any objection to the killing by Blacks.

First, I saw the mugshots of the six, don’t have them now but aren’t at least 2 of them not exactly lily white? And second, standing up for minorities who are killed while in police custody is a step down on the path to civil rights? Maybe to those trying to deny those rights to all but not to those wish all to have them.

I was present during the White Night Riot of 1979.

May 21st was the 36th anniversary, and someone on SF Gate posted a YouTube link of archival footage.

Most of us were white males but I was struck on reviewing the footage of how little has changed in situations where the dominant culture tries to impose its will. [NB comments by blacks and by gays 'If I had stood trial…"

I wuz there

Geraldo, first off, I don’t know a single soul who gives a rodent’s patootie what you think. Second, since you’ve been wrong just about every time you’ve opened your mouth, your credibility is worthless. Have a nice day.

Charlie Gasbag’s invective fits his Fox News pal more than any millennial.

Hannity continues to have the most irrelevant people on his lowly show,.

Once a mediocre quasi-investigative reporter— um, no… on second thought…

I got nothin’ for this bought-and-paid-for Foxturd.

Activists ‘ARE’ the civil rights movement, so correction #1. Geraldo has destroyed investigative reporting, correction #2.

Geraldo was owned on the street in Baltimore and walked around in shock as he was schooled looking like a smiling idiot. At some point, Geraldo needs to learn the art of knowing when to, STFU.
