5 Feet of Fury

“A Conversation About Race Goes Terribly Wrong”

Translated from the “Liberal”:

“We can’t believe we met someone who — gasp! — disagrees with us!!”

Also? Heh:

By the way, I assumed the program title was just a metaphor, that the kids who ran it were “Young Turks” in the dictionary sense of “an insurgent or a member of an insurgent group especially in a political party”, named after a pre-World War One student’s  movement in Turkey.

But it turns out that the main guy is called Cenk Uygur, who is an actual young Turk, or Turkish-American, who is on record as denying the Armenian genocide in a college paper. [Historical Fact or Falsehood?, By Cenk Uygur, November 20, Daily Pennsylvanian, November 20,1991]

Great find, Fulford.
