Why Is Examiner.com, Sirius XM Hosting Racist Young Turk Host Ana Kasparian?

Dude, you’ve been fooled by selective editing which removes the entire context. In that segment, the two commenters – if you’ll notice one is black – were saying the ad is racist, and were speaking sarcastically about what the people who made the ad were saying. They weren’t agreeing with those statements, they weren’t approving of the ad.

This is a hit piece by someone who ignored the context or deliberately left it out. Perhaps they don’t get sarcasm, or perhaps their part of that right wing group who like to claim liberals are the real racists.

If you had any integrity, you’d show the quote in full context.

I agree with the selective editing comment. She is clearly not racist and, in fact, is pointing out the racism of the ad. To the person who felt they needed to bash the right wing in their comments. Wow, talk about injecting something in a discussion that has no place or substance. Of course, it is obvious that the leftists are clearly the idiological group that benifits from and routinely practices dividing people into groups, just read the forums and discussions that they have on the left leaning sites. They address all humans by what group they can classify them into. Most conservatives only speak of people based on thier adherence, or lack thereof, to conservative theories.

Having read the article and listened to her supposed “racist” comment, I must conclude that she is not racist, but in fact, by making that claim, you are in fact showing your racist bent.

This has to be one of the stupidest article I’ve ever read. She wasn’t racist. She was drawing attention to racist depictions. Ugh, try using something called “context” next time. BTW, was this article written by a 12 year old?

Any commenters refering to selective editing should view the two original Young Turks you tube clips about this ad. Their interpretations *are* racist in those original clips. They are in fact gulity of what this article claims. The fact that not one other media commentator has come out to agree with anything The Young Turks have said should tell you something.

Agreed, one of the most bloody idiotic attempst to inaccurately depict someone, who clearly isn’t bigoted. Clearly, they must think we’re all fools and don’t investigate issues ourselves.

I thought she leapt to some clichéd conclusions but this Australian did NOT think she was being racist. Stupid article adding nothing to the topic.

Bad journalism alert. You either didn’t care to get your facts straight, or you intentionally published a falsehood. Either way, FAIL!! You seem to imply that Ana should lose her job over that clip. I wonder who is going to lose their job over this article because it has to be an embarrassment to someone who is signing someone else’s check.

Epic Fail! The entire point is she was being sarcastic! My god, I’ve watched their show for years, And this is by far the most ridiculous, out-of-context piece I have ever seen. The authors of this piece are either maliciously misusing there ability to inform the public, or they are just Damn Stupid

This is the most unfounded call of racism I have ever seen. Better luck next time

Totally out of context. If you want your article to gain any value, post the full ad and the full commentary, not carefully selected and emphasized sections. FAIL.

Its almost funny how stupid this article is. People take things out of context all the time, but this is literally just picking one sentence and pretending that, that sentence is the main point she was trying to make. I dont even understand how this kind of article gets made. Dont you have editors or anyone to actually fact check your work?

Incredibly terrible journalism! Anyone who watches the original unedited clip would agree.

Having evaluated this situation with great interest, as I feel a beautiful white angel like Ana would be quite good for garnering morale for the white supremacy cause, I find that she is not racist at all but in fact has been portrayed as such for the sole sake of clicks and ad money.

Tolerance? Yuck! And such.

I thought she was but then again I’m an aussie. Same for the guy. Further, in the second video, she twisted what KFC australia said to try make them look bad. Very poor journalism in my opinion.

What I saw in the original video was appalling journalism that would give the wrong impression. This is what most people will hear at one part.

Jayar – “This is Australia”
Ana – “This is Australia. My opinion — racist”
Jayar – “racist”

Check it out. Words have power and if you use them without thinking people will get upset.

Well when i first saw the entire video her interpretation of what those people were doing as “uncivilized” was clearly racist.Those people were not behaving uncivilized at all. Only a racist would see harmless behavior as uncivilized.

Also the ad itself was not racist. As has been explained about a thousand times. Just because something can be interpreted as being racist doesn’t make it racist. You can view a game of chess as the white man moving first to oppress the black man but that doesn’t actually mean chess is racist.

The depictions she was referring to weren’t racist though. They only appeared racist to her because she saw black people enjoying themselves as “uncivilized”.

…is very stupid.

There’s a term in Danish for what this article is.

Fly-fucking.

It pointlessly argues a case the outcome of which doesn’t matter, using arguments that are tenuous at best, to support a conclusion that is known to be wrong.

As for Ana’s statement, it was clearly meant to portray her impression of KFC’s perspective. The fact that she is ignorant of the customs of cricket is hardly surprising and not at all a reason to blame her.

It is pretty clear to me on watch the original clip many time – Ana was not being sarcastic or ironic at all. She really did claim they were being uncivilized (they weren’t)

Then she said they were “African Americans”. They aren’t She’s a joke.

See the thing is youre either a liar or an idiot. If you watch the video in context it is obvious that she is not saying blacks are unruly and uncivilized, she is saying thats what the white guy in the commercial is saying… nah Im just wasting my time arguing with someone who either does not understand such obvious context or someone who can look himself in the mirror after willfully lying. Either way you don’t deserve any respect.

Is this a new “trend” in American politics, attempting to neutralized the historical racism of a swath of the us population by name calling a 20 year old liberal a “racist” and then using selective editing and questionable interpretation to back up the point? From Limbaugh to Beck to Will, calling people who harbor no racist sentiments “racist” is simply silly. It’s like the case law on pornography, “I can’t describe it, but I know it when I see it.” I didn’t see it! On a less academic note, Ana is hot!

Man, I don’t know what yer problem is here, Duncan. Picking on a girl who is clearly using sarcasm to point out the racism in the Ad there talking about, and making it look like there’s something real going on, when your the one creating it. This is the weakest mischaracterization I’ve heard in a long time from someone not named Limbaugh or Beck.

Dumbass Duncan wouldn’t know sarcasm if it walked up and bit his ass.

And that was one helluva crap job of editing. Stick with needlepoint, you’ll go further in life.

Rookie. try again.

Whoever wrote this article is an idiot. Period.

the poster clearly does not understand sarcasm. if you can’t see the sarcasm flowing out of kasperian in this video you must be blind. sarcasm is a signature feature of the young turks. they aren’t racists, and they often expose things that are and call them out on it.

Why don't you show the clip in its entirety the Ana goes out of her way to not offend people.

This is plain stupid.

The allegations of her being racist are completely unfounded.
