I am appalled by Fox News' insensitive decision to compare the death of black men to gains in the stock market. This only reinforces the greed and inhumanity that exists in America as it relates to black people. A human life DOES NOT compare to a percentage jump in the S&P 500. pic.twitter.com/rz3Q8vz34j

FOX NEWS CHANNEL:
“The infographic used on FOX News Channel's Special Report to illustrate market reactions to historic periods of civil unrest should have never aired on television without full context.We apologize for the insensitivity of the image & take this issue seriously."

I had to check to make sure this was real. Yep, Fox News actually presented a graphic implying that dead black men are somehow ritualistic sacrifices that cause some sick deity to shower down stock market growth. That's a god I'm cool with “attacking and dethroning." https://t.co/K0g24wfU8d

This may be the most vile thing @foxnews has ever done and they should lose their cable access over it. https://t.co/LvOkH0DBrX

This graphic makes it clear that @FoxNews does not care about black lives. https://t.co/gYqC2B0n4F

Does Fox News also have a graphic charting the percentage change of the S&P after the Holocaust, Munich massacre, and Tree of Life shooting? Does their White Supremacist graphic department track all minority calamities or just the ones that make Lou Dobbs giggle?

We call this “planting seeds."

Fox News posts a graphic “suggesting" murdered black men that capture nationwide attention is “good" for the economy.

The MSM creates or furthers division & chaos.

Never forget that.#BlackLivesMatter #MainstreamMedia pic.twitter.com/dJfjobtKpi

Fox News actually aired this graphic. It measures the effect of notorious murders of black men on THE STOCK MARKET. https://t.co/h0NZglfdT6

When I saw the graphic, I thought it couldn't be real, so I looked for the video. What kind of market analysis is this? Not one person on the @BretBaier team flagged this graphic as insensitive? #FoxNews #BlackLivesMatter pic.twitter.com/UXTJje3W5o

Whoever is running Fox News is determined to run into the ground.

Did you know that CNN beat them in the "riot ratings"? First. time in 19-years.https://t.co/ZKI3FuqnCZ
