Fox News Guest Claims Slavery Wasn’t Racist

A Fox News guest claimed slavery was not racist. Amazing.

Ty Smith

A guest on the conservative Fox News channel has made the absurd claim that slavery was not racist.

The moment occurred on Tuesday when guest Ty Smith, a conservative radio host in Illinois, appeared during the daytime on the network.

“There was slavery going on but itself was not initially a racist thing it never was about race,” said Smith. “It never was a race thing so why are we making it a race thing now?”

In fact, slavery was at it’s core a racist institution and millions of Black people were enslaved in America as a result because of their skin color.

Fox News has for years aired openly racist and bigoted programming, and Smith’s inaccurate history can now be added to the network’s rap sheet.
