Comedian D.L. Hughley slammed Fox News in the midst of an interview with Megyn Kelly on Wednesday regarding the fatal shooting of Philando Castile. “The only place racism doesn’t exist is Fox News and the police department,” Hughley said. “That’s absolutely true.”
“That’s insulting,” Kelly said in response. “You just insulted millions of people watching this channel.”
“And I’m insulted by the things I hear on this network, so we’re even,” Hughley shot back. “I could care less about insulting people that insult me on a daily basis.”

Kelly, who invited convicted perjurer Mark Fuhrman to comment on the shooting prior to the interview, conceded Hughley’s point that white people and black people can hold different perceptions regarding police interactions
Hughley responded by pointing out a 2006 FBI report that sounded a warning regarding infiltration of law enforcement agencies by white supremacist groups.

“I don’t know a black man that hasn’t had a run-in with police,” Hughley said. “From the highest to the lowest.”“You get backed up on that by many people,” she replied.“My perspective on this is based on the experience I’ve had, just as yours are,” he continued. “So I am not willing to give them the benefit of the doubt.”

1. oh, Megyn Kelly

showing her white privilege... there is no broad brush to say that Fox News displays racism and too bad Kelly can't see that... her intelligence doesn't help her there

2. She got to shouting at him and I was expecting her to say Santa Claus was white again!

3. She grew up middle class white. She has no idea about how blacks and poor whites are treated.

4. She and her producers were idiots for having him

On her show. Add in having Fuhrman on the show or even on the network - THAT insults everyone.

7. It's what they do.

FOX News network is theater. Having a comedian who's also an Angry Black Man just reinforces the stereotypes of their viewers, as does having a cop "wronged" by a notorious African-American who probably killed a white woman.

6. She was extremely rude to him...

I wouldn't have blamed him if we walked off the set. Fortunately for all of us, he is classy and will fight to have voices heard.
