Addicted to Race 64: Fox News attacks black America
by Carmen Van Kerckhove
A brand-new episode (No. 64) of Addicted to Race is out! Addicted to Race is New Demographic’s weekly podcast about America’s obsession with race.
Carmen is joined by guest co-host L’Heureux Lewis, who is also known as Dumi. Dumi is completing his PhD in Sociology and Public Policy at the University of Michigan. A native of West Haven, CT he received a Bachelor’s from Morehouse College in Atlanta, GA. In the fall, he will begin as an Assistant Professor of Sociology and Black Studies at the City College of New York. His research interests are wide ranging and he has studied racial identity, multiraciality in the color blind era, mental health functioning, racial discrimination, and educational inequality. More on his work can be found at his research web site. When not attempting to complete his dissertation, he blogs at BlackatMichigan.com.
On this episode, Dumi and Carmen discuss the call for Congressional Black Caucus Institute not to team up with Fox News to co-host its presidential debates. See the video “Fox News Attacks Black America.” They also discuss David Mills’ recent column in The Huffington Post in which he counted the top 10 most socially redeeming usages of the n-word in modern history.
This episode features the song “What’s That Buzzing?” by P.O.S., courtesy of Spectre Entertainment Group.

Great site. I was disappointed to see the term ‘n-word’ used. If we’re gonna chat openly about race this kind of self-editing is not helpful. An open discussion and honest language can change the world.

I got a great idea for Journalists. TELL THE TRUTH! Stop the spinning of news to fit an a agenda. And Lets not pretend that FOX is the only news co. that does it. You got network news that spins news for the far-left all the time. Liberals aren’t exactly angels when it comes to honesty (Intellectually and factually).
I’am an independent for the record. It is my opinion that journalists should always be factually honest and NEVER Spin the News to fit a POLITICAL agenda. That is a very slippery slope and a threat to our democracy as a nation.
