FIRED SHOCK JOCK GOES ON WHITE SUPREMACIST RADIO SHOW, MAKES THINGS WORSE

There’s a reason why Anthony Cumia is getting so little support after his racist Twitter rant got him fired from his radio show. Going on the Political Cesspool to expand that rant might speak to that reason.

A month after he was fired from the Opie & Anthony Show on Sirus XM for racist remarks he made on Twitter about an alleged assault on him, Anthony Cumia is about to launch his own internet-based radio program. Among the promotional appearences he made for the show was on the white supremacist radio program the Political Cesspool.

Cumia appeared Saturday evening on the Memphis, TN-based show hosted by Council of Conservative Citizens board member James Edwards, and said on the program that he will particularly address racial issues because he feels that it is taboo to do so as a white man in America and on his program he will be unrestrained. “A lot of liberals talk about, ‘let’s have an open, honest dialouge on race,’” he said. “That’s what’s gonna be able to solve these problems we have in the communities and what not. But they do not want that. They do not want open and honest dialouge. They want you to agree with them. They want the continued victimization and excuses that go out. The second you literally bring up the real problems that are happening in this country as far as certain communities go, you’re chastied, you’re given tha scarlet letter which is now R – “racist”. And there’s no way to discuss this as a white, especially male American without being called a racist.”

He gave what seemed to be a sample of what can be expected on his show by attacking the idea of diversity and what he saw as a dismissive attitude in today’s society about the accomplishments white men in favor of people of color who have not contributed anything. “White males are just the abomination of the United States right now,” he said. “They’re looked at as jokes, as horrible people that are so against diversity and everything, and when you look back at the history of this country, the acheivements that white males have made in this country is astounding. And regardless of what diversity might bring to this country, you can’t discount what white men have done for this country.

“When you watch any of the footage of any of the Apollo programs over the years and you look at the control room of mission control, what do you see?” he asked. “Do you see diversity there? Honestly! Let’s be honest. You’re seeing white males smoking cigarettes, drinking coffee at the console and putting people on the moon. How is this a horrible thing? How is this something to look at and say, ‘We need to change this by injecting people that do not pay attention to the laws of this country, do not assimilate to the culture, do not work and contribute to this nation’? Why is this a good thing to then add these people into the formula to make this a great country? Diversity for the sense of just diversity is not a good thing.”

Cumia was fired during the Fourth of July weekend after he went on a rant on Twitter about an incident while taking pictures in Times Square outside his home in New York City of empty streets where he said a black woman whom he took a picture of inadvertantly called him a “white motherfucker” for doing so and proceeded to punch him. In addition to tweets referring to her as a “savage” and that she was “lucky I was a white legal gun owner or she’d be dead,” he also went on a rant saying the incident revealed a “deep seeded problem with violence in the black community.” and how “the automatic jump to violence in that community is astounding.”

The only account of this alleged incident, however to date has been solely Cumia’s tweets. There was no police report filed, nor were police called to the scene, and there has been no evidence of injuries sustained by Cumia. And while Cumia claimed that a picture took of a black woman was his alleged assailiant, she has never been identified. “I don’t think she even knew what happened, because I truly believe she was a whore,” he said when asked about this on the Political Cesspool. “I think she’s a prostitute. At four in the morning I’m out there just trying to take these lonely, empty New York City street pictures, but if you’re walking around like that dressed like she was alone, I would assume she’s a prostitute. So she probably has no clue what she has wrought on people’s lives.”

Very few people have come out to support Cumia, and much of that support has been found on white supremacist and paleoconservative blogs – in articles that Cumia linked to in tweets – as well as the Political Cesspool, who has had regular reports on the incident over the past few weeks. A campaign called to terminate subscription from Sirus XM in protest has flopped with only 10,000 unsubscribing out of 25.56 million subscribers to the satelliete radio network. Cumia is still supportive of his former co-hosts Gregg “Opie” Hughes and comedian Jim Norton, who are under contract until October and stayed on the air after Cumia was fired.

In an interview prior to the Political Cesspool with the Glenn Beck-owned Blaze website, Cumia said he didn’t believe all black people are violent and denied saying all black people were savages.
