Twitchy has been reporting on the recent explosion of fashion activism by NBA players sporting Eric Garner-inspired “I Can’t Breathe” T-shirts, but Fox News’ Geraldo Rivera has a better idea for a slogan:
Geraldo: Lebron James should have had a “Be a Better Father to Your Son” T-shirt instead…

Oh, boy. That’s not going to go over very well.
Here is the video, via the perpetually outraged Media Matters where Geraldo talks with Sean Hannity on what he describes as “urban suicide” in the black community because of absentee fathers:

I don't care how he meant it, Geraldo Rivera a lame!

Somebody needs to lock Geraldo Rivera in Al Capone's tomb for good. SMH.

Like @JoeNBC @GeraldoRivera feels it is his duty to choose what is important to black community, and don't see the irony in that.
