I dunno, man, I think it's pretty racist to question whether the (black) Attorney General (!) of the United States will be fair and impartial overseeing an investigation involving different races, because he has been a victim of racism previously.
The only reason the host gives for his belief that the Attorney General (!) of the United States would unfairly influence the investigation is because he may have an emotional reaction to racism, having been a victim of it himself, which is essentially saying he can't be trusted because he's black. "Well, back when the federal government had institutionalized racism, he experienced racism first hand. SO he's probably looking to get one back over on whitey." It's his blackness that leaves him biased against the white cop, which makes him unfit. According to the host.
I mean, your response is in a way validating. What on earth makes the supreme prosecutor in the United States unfit to oversee a criminal investigation?
And this is racist too:
It's outrageous, but it's viewed as, somehow, a non-racist opinion. Like when someone tells you "i just tell it like it is."
I mean, national tv here, as an acceptable, unquestioned opinion.
"Oh I like that O'Reilly, he's not bogged down in being 'PC'."
