In the words of Chicago Mayor Rahm “Dead Fish” Emanuel: “You never want a serious crisis to go to waste.” And the incident in McKinney this past Friday is no exception. Nevertheless, one self-described “progressive” radio host based in Dallas, who’s incidentally black, says he witnessed the altercation and insists it has nothing at all to do with race. From Breitbart:
Radio Host, Benét Embry (Photo Credit: Facebook)
In an appearance on CNN’s “Outfront” on Monday, Benét Embry, host of the “Benét Embry Radio Show,” explained that it was his view that a pool party that went awry and led to a confrontation between several black teenagers and local police wasn’t about race.
He blamed “seven knuckleheads” for ruining what was about kids “there just having a good time.”
“I do not believe that this was about race,” Embry said. “What this was a teenage party that got out of control. It was about 130 kids there, 100 good kids there just having a good time. Out of the 130, predominantly African-American, seven knuckleheads ruined the whole thing for everybody. That’s what this is all about. I don’t think — I do not believe that officer showed up to the subdivision with the intention, ‘I’m going to go out and swing black kids around.’ I do not believe that. That’s not the way the community is set up. That’s not the community we live in. So, amidst death threats that I have received and the banning of my radio show, my neighbor had to send his son away because he is receiving death threats.”
