Reporter Shows Amazing Restraint as Political Candidate Argues Her Intelligence Must Come from her ‘White Side’

Posted byBy Tanasia Kenney | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

An NBC journalist remained graceful and gritted her teeth as a white nationalist candidate running for public office downplayed her intelligence, solely based on her race.

Morgan Radford, a reporter on NBC’s “Today” show, showed amazing restraint during a sit-down interview with candidate Arthur Jones, a self–professed white nationalist vying for a Congressional seat in Chicago’s third district. A former member of the American Nazi Party, Jones said he has hopes of making Chicago’s neighborhoods at least 90 percent white.

“I’ve received over 70 percent of the votes from the Republican party in the March 20 primary,” he told Radford on Friday.

Jones, who believes the Holocaust never happened, is just one of eight white nationalist candidates running for state or federal office in 2018, according to The Southern Poverty Law Center. Critics believe the inflammatory rhetoric spouted by President Donald Trump could be cause for the recent uptick in “emboldened” racists seeking public office.

When asked if he believes Black people are genetically inferior to white people, Arthur claimed that the average IQ of someone Black is 20 points lower compared to someone who’s white.

“But I went to Harvard,” said Radford, who is African-American.

“Alright — and you’ve got a lot of white blood in you too,” Jones replied before suggesting Radford’s intelligence only came from her “white side.”

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
