Yeah, that really happened. Just days after Late Show host Stephen Colbert wore a Black Lives Matter bracelet on air, Fox News devoted an entire segment to putting him on blast about it.

TUCKER CARLSON: So it's possible [Colbert] is so rich, famous, a celebrity guy, so totally out of touch he doesn't fully understand what that represents. But here is my concern, obviously Stephen Colbert is a talented character, but there is also a strain of self-righteousness in his comedy. I don't think it—I mean, do you really want to get into this your first week on air, diving face first into the most divisive social movement in America?

This is our America: Where wearing a bracelet stating that the lives of black people matter is a controversial talking point. We're learning that 2015 is not nearly as different from 1955 as we all thought.

4. Is BLM really that divisive? It's not even close to the Kim Davis republican division

Where does one get one of those bracelets?

7. FoxNews is looking at the big picture.

They're concerned about all the changes in societal attitudes that would affect them if we had to take into account that black lives matter.

10. Thanks for posting that.

I'd never seen it. Jon tore them to shreds on their little debate show. If I ever meet Tucker Carlson, I doubt I'll be half as nice as Jon was.

12. To me it was one of Mr. Stewart's first great defining moments

when he took a deep breath and made a difference. We were fans of his and happened to see it when it first aired and it was so wonderful.

11. "the most divisive social movement in America?"

Tucker Carlson is such an insecure little man.

Conservatives are now claiming them.
