Boyce Watkins - Fox News Is Racist
Fox News Protestors: [sic] Are We going to Act?

At Your Black World, we had a strong and powerful protest of Fox News and the racist Bill O’Reilly. Shortly after our protest, I started to notice protests by other websites, such as ColorofChange.org, Moveon.org and others.
You see, Fox News can be like the devil: The devil enjoys when you pour grease on a grease fire. Fox enjoys the protests, they enjoy the petitions. They will receive the stack of signatures and likely throw them in the garbage. These individuals are intelligent enough to realize that controversy means ratings, and that the more liberals hate them, the more their conservative (sometimes highly racist) base loves them.
Also, good old fashioned protest works as well. I agree with Rev. Jesse Jackson, who explained that bloggers do a lot of writing, but we don’t actually get out there and get it done. I recommend forming protests and having people with picket signs, standing in front of Fox News’ top 2 or 3 corporate sponsors.
That might be more effective than a list reminding Fox that 100,000 people hate their guts. To be honest, I think they already know that.
