differently? jamie foxx. yeah. didn t say word? not a peep for jamie foxx, right. but if he a white actor went out with a t-shirt like you said with zimmerman s face on it or a quote that says i believe george, his or her career would be destroyed. it would be destroyed on the spot because they would say that person is a racist. that person is siding with the white hispanic defendant. bill: jamie foxx is not racist. that s the perception i agree with you. double standard unfair and grotesque but that s where we are. bill: colmes says the double standard is acceptable to him because of the historical wrongs put upon the african-american community by the white power structure. any validity to that? it is not right that we have this double standard in this country because by his logic okay under the first amendment. bill: him referring to colmes your brother-in-law. alan. bad colmes, by his logic under this first amendment jamie foxx can go out and put out whatever mes

wants. by same logic if a white wear a george zimmerman t-shirt should have the same right to do it without jamie foxx being judged. that s not where we are in america today. we can assume colmes if a white actor did that he would get a paula deen. everybody whole career would blow up. and i think what happened to paula deen. bill: your sister-in-law says and i m personalizing this tonight because it s a very interesting argument that that is morally wrong? would you say morally wrong the double standard? morally wrong? i think it is grotesque and morally wron okay. she says it s morally wrong for you, colmes, to support the double standard. no. what s morally wrong is that we have a society with this imbalance. the only way to solve the problem is to correct that imbalance. by wearing a t-shirt. ambulance by having a true equality in this country. but you don t have true equality. i m saying only will when we have that will there not be this double standard.
bill: thanks for staying with us, i m bill o reilly. in the unresolved problem segment tonight, racism on display. actor jamie foxx wore a travon martin t-shirt at the black entertainment awards a couple weeks ago. of course jamie foxx has no idea what happened on the night mr. martin was killed in florida. never the less, he is extending his support in a very public way. now, the key question is this: if a white actor had worn a george zimmerman t-shirt would that have been acceptable. here now monica crowley and alan colmes. colmes, on the spot. probably would not have been acceptable. and it probably is a double standard and there is a double standard i think because of disparity in this country between the perception that there is a white power structure. blacks are the minority and i do believe we view things a little differently based on who really runs things in the united states. bill: i don t want to put words in your mouth. but it s okay for jamie foxx. is it okay by th
wants. by same logic if a white wear a george zimmerman t-shirt should have the same right to do it without jamie foxx being judged. that s not where we are in america today. we can assume colmes if a white actor did that he would get a paula deen. everybody whole career would blow up. and i think what happened to paula deen. bill: your sister-in-law says and i m personalizing this tonight because it s a very interesting argument that that is morally wrong? would you say morally wrong the double standard? morally wrong? i think it is grotesque and morally wrong. okay. she says it s morally wrong for you, colmes, to support the double standard. no. what s morally wrong is that we have a society with this imbalance. the only way to solve the problem is to correct that imbalance. by wearing a t-shirt. ambulance by having a true equality in this country. but you don t have true equality. i m saying only will when we have that will there not be this double standard.
