Geraldo's Latest Slogan Idea For Black Protesters: 'We're The Problem'
Fox News senior correspondent Geraldo Rivera advised black protestors on Friday to abandon the popularized "I can't breathe" slogan in favor of a new one: "We're the problem."
Geraldo's comments were made during an appearance on "Fox and Friends" in which he addressed what he believed is the real problem plaguing black communities.
Rivera first clarified that "too many young black men are being killed unnecessarily in encounters with police" and that "too many black moms are more fearful of the cops when their kids go out at night than they are the crooks."
....
"The families in crisis are in crisis not because of the interface between cops and young black men but because of family dysfunction, fathers being irresponsible," Rivera said. "That is a much more difficult, complex situation than wanting to advocate against police violence toward, you know, toward young black men."
Rivera criticized those who focused on police violence and challenged them to avoid the "low-hanging fruit" and instead focus on the harder problems to solve.
