Fox Show’s Black Nurse to White Racist Patient Protester: 'How Alt-Right Are You?'
By Karen Townsend | December 9, 2018 11:50 PM EST
The topic of white nationalists was handled in a heavy-handed way during the December 9 episode of Fox’s Rel. Rel (Lil Rel Howery), an African-American man, is a charge nurse in a Chicago hospital. In “Hate & Hip Hop,†his patient turns out to be a racist who fainted during a white nationalist protest rally. The white patient isn’t impressed when Rel calls him a blood brother, as they both have O negative blood.
Rel explains to Tommy Smith (Josh Duvendeck) that only 7 percent of the population have O negative blood. Rel at first assumes that Tommy was at the protest rally to stand up to the white nationalists. When Rel learns that his patient was a participant in the protest to “take back America†for white people, Rel asks him just how alt-right he is attending his khaki-wearing, tiki torch-carrying protest.
