Watch: Geraldo on Race Politics: “All Black and Brown People on One Side, All White People on the Other”

Geraldo Rivera dropped by “Fox and Friends” to lament the racial polarization in politics.

“You have all the black and brown people on the one side, all the white people on the other side – sadly, politics in America is becoming increasingly about race and ethnicity,” said Rivera.

Co-host Brian Kilmeade noted that, although African-Americans traditionally vote Democratic, President Obama has been losing ground among black voters. .

“A poll came out recently that showed he lost 10 percent approval within the African American community,” said Kilmeade.

“I think he’ll still get north of 95 percent in the African American community,” said Rivera. “He’ll also get two thirds of the Hispanic community.”

On the other hand, his approval among white voters has dropped,” said Rivera. “He’s only getting 39 percent of white people intending to vote for the President. So, if you have all the black and brown people on the one side, all the white people on the other side – sadly, politics in America is becoming increasingly about race and ethnicity.”

“People hate when I talk about that, but that’s a reality,” Geraldo concluded.
