    Rupert Murdoch, trying to prop Ben Carson, implies Obama is not "black" enough.

    Then gets embarrassed enough to apologize:

    LOL... fair and balanced.

    I think Bill Burr's bit on old white people and racism is applicable here:

    A similar situation also happened to Russell Wilson.

    I find it weird when people define "Blackness". Kinda a stereotype, no?

    I think Rupert Murdoch is the final judge on who is and isn't black enough.

    If he did apologize , he would say something like Donald Sterling once said


    .."in Israel we treat Blacks like dogs .so I am used to it..."
