How Fox News Uses White Supremacist Language

In a piece of opinion commentary, INSIDER’s Manny Ocbazghi argues that Fox News programs have been echoing white supremacist language for some time now, specifically language tied to a conspiracy theory called “The Great Replacement.”

The Great Replacement is a theory that says nonwhite populations around the world are maliciously marginalizing and replacing white populations. This kind of rhetoric has become a popular talking point for Fox News pundits like Tucker Carlson and Laura Ingraham, especially when they do segments that cover immigration. Watch to see just how these Fox News programs do this and the effect it could have on their millions of viewers.

Tomi Lahren Laments Oppression Of Straight, White Men After Parade Backlash

Fox Nation host Tomi Lahren claimed on Thursday that a proposed “straight pride” parade is being met with derision because it’s “open season” on straight, white men.

“Super Happy Fun America,” a group led by a right-wing activist named Mark Sahady, is pushing Boston city officials to host let the group host a widely mocked “straight pride” parade.

For Lahren, however, this is no laughing matter.

“Don’t forget: It is open season on straight, white men in this country and y’all aren’t allowed to celebrate your straightness,” she said on “Fox Nation.” “It’s 2019. Don’t you know that’s been off-limits for the past 10 years?”



Lahren was upset about the parade organizers not receiving a permit from the city, despite Sahady posting on Thursday that city officials were “working with us.”

“Listen, this straight pride parade was probably intended to be a joke of sorts, but regardless: Why is it so taboo nowadays to recognize and be proud of heterosexuality or traditional values in general?” Lahren lamented. “Can that not be a thing anymore?”

Super Happy Fun America’s site quotes its president, John Hugo, as claiming that “straight people are an oppressed majority.”

Arline Isaacson, co-chair of the Massachusetts Gay & Lesbian Political Caucus, told MassLive that the parade was a “cynical and childish action” by “ill-intended reactionaries.”

“Straight people have not suffered decades and indeed centuries of oppression for being straight, but the LGBTQ community has and despite many advancements toward equality, we unfortunately continue to,” Isaacson said.
