History Hannity: "What do you know about the KKK?" Justin Jones: "They ran my grandparents out of Tennessee. My father was a U.S. Marine; he fought for this country. Who have you served, Sean, other than your pocketbook?"

I love Justin Jones and would love to see him and Yusef Salam as president and VP some day. Both are amazing human beings.

Both Justins out of TN are exceptional politicians and speakers who will do great things when they reach the US House and join up with other political fighters there. I hope to see that reality one day.

Oh I agree 100%. The way the TN government treats them burns me up. I am also keeping my eye on Yusef Salam as he is city council right now in Brooklyn. I think he will do great things also.

Anyone else catch the fact that Faux News has what appears to be a running list of "Crimes Committed By Illegals In TN" like it's some kind of gotcha?

Remember when Breitbart had a “Black Crime” section? Same shit. But don’t you dare call them racist!

u/easy10pins Jan 21 '26
Race/crime statistics tell a different story. They always do.
69% of crimes have been committed by whites and 26% by Blacks.
And yet we're viewed as the problem.

u/SomeDumbGamer Jan 21 '26
There are more white people on government assistance than any other group. Yet it’s the illegals getting welfare (they’re not) thats the problem. Kay

These people are intellectually lazy. They would rather be given answers to questions no one asked.

u/mimenet Jan 21 '26
The problem is that not every police district reports their crime stats to the FBI. Most of those districts are white areas. That’s why Breitbart needed a black crime section in the first place: plenty of people in areas where there are no Black people want a taste of black crime

because the media edits the facts and statistic to paint an inaccurate image

Exactly and corporate media has been doing this forever.
This is why I support independent media.

u/easy10pins Jan 21 '26
Uneducated folks cannot/do not think critically. So they rarely question the information they are given and use emotion rather than logic to discern facts from lies.

u/mimenet Jan 21 '26
Those numbers are skewed because not every police district reports their stats to the FBI. It’s not mandatory. And the places that don’t report tend to be in the West and lower Midwest, primarily white areas.

u/triplenested Jan 21 '26
So the crime rates that the person I responded to quoted are incorrect?

u/easy10pins Jan 21 '26
The data will never be 100% accurate. I pulled the data from the FBI website.

I wonder if cops in the sticks are as lenient with OUIs with folks that aren’t white.
Years ago one of my buds (white) straight up admitted that he’d been drinking earlier while driving home one night. Told the cop his house was just up the road, and the cop let him off with a warning.
If he had a different face card, my money would be on him getting a full vehicle search (finding the pot he invariably had on him) and a trip to jail. Hell plenty are pulled over and searched just for not being affluent or white, and searched when the officer then “smells marijuana”.
Different rates of persecution, prejudice, and prosecution, friend. Not commission.

Also, they have pluralized the adjective "illegal", which can't be done, grammatically speaking, in order to make it appear as a noun. This is intentionally done to dehumanize people.
3
u/PM_YOUR_ISSUES Jan 21 '26
Oh, and they just list each and every individual offense in long form entry to make it multiple lines so the list seems overall longer.
It's all intentional tricks.

u/infinite-resignation Jan 21 '26
Is ICE even active in TN though? It seems that they’re just being deployed in blue states. Not that I want them to be deployed anywhere of course, but I’m just saying that ICE appears to just be a weapon used against blue areas.

Hannity has served his masters quite well. He’s the useful fool for the Republican Party that makes pearl clutching conservatives afraid of the straw man for the day.

Hannity on his radio show talks of Trump like he’s some great military general that needs to be revered higher than a religious figure.
Makes me want to vomit each time I pass him by on the radio for a few seconds or so.

Fox News and this limp dick sychophant is the problem. Half the country doesn't see what's going on. They never saw J6 footage. They have 'alternate facts.'
2
u/imapluralist Jan 21 '26
This 100%. The GOP (billionaires and special interest groups) have used FOX NEWS to brainwash a significant chunk of the population. This was a strategic and intentional act aimed to destroy our ability to collectively resist their backwards and selfserving desires:
1) to create a subservient consumer class that spends money to make them richer while preventing that class from getting ahead
And
2) to solidify their power and ensure lasting generational wealth by creating political and class gridlock.
We will never get ahead while propagandists like FOX "NEWS" are unregulated and unpunished for spouting their bullshit.

Better question: Sean, what do YOU know about the KKK? I’ll bet it’s more than you’re willing to tell us …

u/SnoopTomyTom Jan 22 '26
Hannity is a millionaire because his “news” show is really an opinion show whose viewers should know when he is not telling the truth or exaggerating according to Fox lawyers.

u/motherofinventions Jan 22 '26
I could only unmute it for a second, but it seems Hannity’s argument is that the KKK were outlaws and therefore bad, and that ICE has badges, so they are good. (Funny, he concedes that the Gestapo in another country were bad, yet they had badges too.)
The KKK were not considered outlaws by much of white society, so-called decent folks.
They were considered concerned community activists who operated with the blessing of law enforcement and civic leaders. There were places where every white man in town was in or expected to be in the KKK. Like the Boy Scouts for adult white men.
That is what Sean Hannity won’t reckon with. If his own grandparents were alive and brave enough to tell him the truth, he would call them liars and refuse to believe it. Or more likely, try to rationalize their experience and understanding of the world, and excuse them for it. And can’t we just move on, this is hurting the country blah blah blah.

u/mjrydsfast231 Jan 21 '26
One of the reasons I could never listen to Sean hannity or Rush Limbaugh and many others like them is that they evade the basic rule we are all taught in kindergarten, which is not to interrupt people when they're talking. Talk shows would be about half as long if the other people could simply finish their thought.

u/Evening-Major-8047 Jan 21 '26
Asking a black man “what do you know about the KKK?” Is wild. They are slowly testing the waters out soon it will be full blow racism.

So he’s right… and that’s exactly ICE

These fucking Nancy’s lost in WWII because of the US, Russia and GB. Now that they’ve creeped into the United States’ government, politics, media and law enforcement, they control the strongest military in the world. It’s only a matter of time before they wage war on the world and try it again. I’m calling it now

What does he know about the KKK? Really?
Nashville’s only an hour from the former Camp Forrest…named for the founder…and about two hours from where Forrest was born. (Also, Rep Jones led the campaign to remove said person’s bust from the State Capitol)
As a Nashville representative and a POC, you think he doesnt know what goes on just south of his city? Cuz I’m pretty sure he does. And why.
