Petition for Tomi Lahren to Be Removed From The Blaze Hits Its 15000 Signature Goal

Tomi Lahren"s STUPID Response To Jesse Williams’ BET Award Speech About Racism

Tomi Lahren is a young white news anchor for Glenn BecksThe Blazewhose work only goes viral and receives coverage when she goes on a racially-tinged tirade. As a result, shes gone on quite a few and, of course, trended pretty often. What she says and allows others to say on her show is often incendiaryand shocking.

Last night, as news was breaking that police officers had been shot in Dallas, Lahren went on a Twitter tear that likened Black Lives Matter to the Ku Klux Klan. As we now know, BLM had nothing to do with the shooting suspect, who claimed he acted alone.

Speaking of individuals having nothing to do with larger organizations, people on the Internet are banding together to request that networks completely disengage with Lahren going forward.

A change.org petition called Removing Tomi Lahren From TheBlaze has already met its goal of 15,000 signers and has now moved the goal to 25,000.

The text that accompanies it is long, but here are some key phrases:

Everyone has a voice and an opinion. However, when the wrong voice is given a platform and is allowed to influence an audience of millions by perpetuating derogatory ideology toward select groups of individuals, this is where the injustice lies. Tomi Lahren (although her words are laden with passion and emotion) lacks the knowledge and experience to effectively communicate and facilitate Should a biased, misinformed, 23-year-old with no background in law, law degree, life experience, or experience in Government be the political voice of a generation that will change this nation?

The petition is addressed to Fox News and will also be delivered to Viacom, ABC, NBC, and CBS.The Blazeis Becks and does not belong to any major networks, but local stations can become affiliates, so that could explain why the petition is going out to the major networks and not Beck himself.

Lahren and Beck have yet to respond to the petition.

After her take down of the BET awards for what she described as anenshrinement of black victimhood and racism, Tomi Lahren caught significant flak. But shes not backing down.

Here it goes again, I call out a race bait and Im black Twitter public enemy No. 1. Oh,bring it on, Lahren began. Half-white Jesse Williams stands up at the BET awards and bashes white people for being white and Im the racist? OK, sure. If hes half white is he half racist?

Im not pressed or angry black people gettin woke, Im all for it, Lahren said, quoting some of her dissenters. But youre telling me it takes a stupid BET award speech or a Super Bowl performance by entertainers to empower you? And what exactly are you getting woke to do? Thats what I dont get.

Lahren went on to claim she understands some racism does exist, but believes it will not resolve itself so long as our leaders continue to exploit the divide for their advantage.

Listen, I know racism exists and its not going to stop when our leaders keep exploiting the divide, she said. Some in the black entertainment community, like Jesse Williams, believe the only way to empower is to pit black Americans against white Americans in some kind of a dominance battle, a melanin showdown. I dont want any part of that.

I talk about race and race baiting because, quite frankly, most white people are afraid to. They dont want to say something wrong and offend anyone, or heaven forbid be labeled a racist. I dont play that game.

Lahren saidshe believes black Americans are just as proud and capable as everyone else, but added that gold stars or special treatment for the color of your skin is ultimately insulting.

I dont think black Americans are weak, I dont think youre victims. I think youre strong proud and free Americans, just like the rest of the people in this country, she said. I dont think you need special treatment or gold stars for your existence. Thats insulting to you as individuals.
