MSNBC contributor's racist comment about Bobby Jindal

Tsk tsk MSNBC.

MSNBC Guest Hurls Racial Slur At Gov. Bobby
Jindal

MSNBC has been forced to cut ties with one of its regular guest experts after he made a racially-charged slur against Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal.

Arsalan Iftikhar, a human rights attorney and TV commentator, was responding to Jindal’s statements about alleged “no-go zones” in Europe in an interview with MNSBC anchor Alex Wagner

According to Iftikhar, “I think Gov. Jindal is protesting a bit too much … he might be trying to, you know, scrub some of the brown off of his skin as he runs to the right in a Republican presidential exploratory bid…”

Wagner seemed to gloss over this apparently racist statement and just moved on. See embed below.

Jindal, who is considered likely to seek the presidency in 2016, is of Indian heritage.

Yesterday, an MSBC spokesman announced that “We found this guest’s comments offensive and unacceptable and we don’t plan on inviting him back.”

In response to Iftikahar’s original allegation, the two-term governor told the Washington Examiner that “It’s embarrassing for MSNBC to give voice to such shallow foolishness. Much like Michael Moore denigrating our military servicemen, these comments deserve no comment… I will not be silenced. Radical Islam must be stopped, and we must stop pretending. It is time for the Western world to face reality…”

For his part, Iftikahar told CNN (a network where he also appears often) that “I will apologize to Bobby Jindal when he apologizes to seven million American Muslims for advancing the debunked ‘Muslim no-go zones’ myth.”

The supposed existence of no-go zones has been addressed by various media outlets in the past. Since Fox News had to apologize for a guest who falsely claimed that the city of Birmingham in the U.K. was “totally Muslim,” there may or may not be some reverse-engineering going on by journalists.

The Gatestone Institute think tank claims that “The problem of no-go zones is well documented, but multiculturalists and their politically correct supporters vehemently deny that they exist. Some are now engaged in a concerted campaign to discredit and even silence those who draw attention to the issue.”

Nigel Farage, a member of the European Parliament and leader of the populist UK Independence Party, has also declared that certain self-contained Muslim enclaves in Europe, where police no longer regularly patrol, operate under Sharia Law rather than civil law.

Who forced MSNBC to do that?

 

[DigitalDrifter]

Hopefully they figured out what to do on their own.

I'm wondering why there is so much outrage when Jindal LIES about Muslim no-go zones.

I mean crap................on Monday there was an interview done by a European station that challenged him on his comments and he doubled down on it. When the reporter told Jindal that his allegations were false, Jindal asked why the liberals in Europe were ignoring it.

Hey, you forgot the rule:

It's never racist when the PC Police say it.

[Coloradomtnman]

It wasn't racist. He was taking a cheap shot at Jindal for pandering to the far right, and at the far right for being bigots.

If you hate the PC police, then you should hate that MSNBC fired someone for saying something that wasn't racist but might be perceived as such by the PC police.

What "racial slur" was "hurled"?

 

[Blackrook]

The statement was definitely racist, being a cheap shot at Bobby Jindal based on the fact that he has "brown skin."

How can anyone seriously deny this?

 

[RetiredGySgt]

What "racial slur" was "hurled"?

So if a Fox contributor said "Obama was trying to wash some of the black off himself" you would be fine with that?

 

[Blackrook]

Wow, I knew liberals had double standards, but they don't get it even in a case as extreme as this.

Sure.

You didn't answer my question. What "slur" was "hurled"?

"Extreme"?

 

[Blackrook]

theDoctorisIn, are you trying to convince us that you are completely clueless, to the point of being attention-deficit disorder?

Your answer was a lie. You would lose your mind if a republican said that about Obama. Why would he now answer your questions, when you are a known liar?

There's really nothing more entertaining to me than people who think that claiming to read minds is a cogent argument.

What else does your crystal ball tell you, great swami?

Who needs a crystal ball, when all we need to do is look at the history of your posts? You and i both know you would have plenty to say about a comment like that being made about Obama. Quit being a liar.

How is it a lie ? Jindal like many of us has no doubt read stories about the no-go areas for years now.
Maybe it's not true, maybe there's some truth to it. Regardless, I don't see a "lie" here when it could simply be misinformation.

In the truest sense of the term, it really wasn't a "slur". However, it definitely is a very racially provocative comment and it's unacceptable.

You are one fucking dumb doctor.
