Nolte: CBS News Wants to Blacklist Words like ‘Blacklist’ as Racist

CBS News has declared words and phrases like “blacklist” and “Black Monday” racist.

“Many headlines referred to the stock market plunge yesterday as ‘Black Monday,’ and that is just one of the subtle and not-so-subtle ways that racism has been braided into our everyday culture,” CBS This Morning co-anchor Tony Dokoupil announced on Tuesday.

The segment that followed attacked a number of other words and, of course, our Founding Fathers as racist, by way of a book — Stamped From the Beginning: The Definitive History of Racist Ideas in America — aimed at children as young as 12. The book is written by CBS News contributor Ibram X. Kendi and co-author Jason Reynolds.
