Was Houston Station Race Baiting or Starting Important Discussion?

By Kevin Eck 

Fox-owned station KRIV has a segment called Fox Faceoff that seems unafraid to ruffle feathers.

On Monday’s 5 p.m., the station had community activist Quanell X facing off against political consultant Angela Box over a white South Carolina police officer dragging a black female student through a classroom.

It started out tense and quickly ventured into more tense when Box started talking about violence in black culture. “Let’s deal with the culture of these crazy frenetic white boys,” said Quannell X talking about school shootings like Columbine. “…who go in schools with guns and shoot and kill everybody.” Interesting stuff for a local station.
