Conservative commentator and felon Dinesh D’Souza followed up on his string of Martin Luther King Jr. Day tweets with an appearance on Fox News that proved too much for host Megyn Kelly.

D’Souza, the author of “The End Of Racism,” was criticizing prominent black political figures on Monday night when he said President Obama “hasn’t actually had the African American experience” because he is “not descended from slaves on either side of his family.”

“What do you mean, he hasn’t had the African American experience?” Kelly asked. “He has black skin and he grew up in America as a black man.”

D’Souza responded that the Hawaii-born Obama “spent quite a bit of time in Indonesia and made multiple trips to Kenya.”

“Oh, come on, Dinesh!” Kelly said, rolling her eyes. “That does not deprive him of his experience as a black man.”

    Sounds like time for another FOX apology.

    “We regret that for the 100th time, we have allowed a complete hack, and a lawbreaker to
    come on our airwaves and make s…t up live on the air. We’re trying our best to figure out why this happens, but until we do, go visit a no-go zone in Birmingham.”

  4. What a completely useless, horribly racist person. Amadou Diallo was an immigrant who faced the ultimate horror of the black experience. The black experience is about how you’re treated, your interactions, and the effect these things have on your life. Nobody stops black folks and asks whether or not our ancestors were slaves before they proceed to discriminate against us. This is beyond stupid, and even he knows it.

  5. WaterMELON-loviNG JUNGLE VOODOO PRIEst BaLACK InsANE NOBAMA HAsn’t HAD the BlaCK aMEricaN Experience BEcaUSE he wAN’t RELAted to SLAVES NOr HAS HE sUFFered FROM RACism. LIBtards once AGAIN PLAY the RACE card. AND mICHELLE has A BIG BLACK butt!1!1!!!one!1!!!
