In the midst of the mess that the Trump administration has continued to foster in regards to immigration policy, Fox News would be remiss if they didn't find a way to sprinkle a little anti-blackness in the mix.
Fox News Contributor Rachel Campos-Duffy actually thought it would be a good idea to get on TV and say that black people have told her the migrant detention centers were better than the projects they grew up in.
Whew, chile, the racism jumped out. There are so many things wrong here.

First of all, since when were black people the only people to live in the projects. Furthermore, why is it being implied that black people living in the projects is the expectation. Lastly, why are you trying to use black people to suggest that the conditions of these centers aren't inhumane?
I have a sneaking suspicion that she didn’t really talk to black people.

Hi, @RCamposDuffy! Please provide the names of the Black people you spoke to so other journalists can follow up. We wouldn't want to think you're lying, would we?

Do these people not know any black people who DID NOT grow up in the projects? Why do they act like all black People are barely holding on? Good God I’m sick of this

She used the identifier African-American prior to saying projects….then she stereotyped and made the comparison that the projects is place of substandard living where African-Americans live…so there is no way she is a bigot or racist.
