Anthony Cumia, radio host on Sirius XM’s comedy show “The Opie & Anthony Show,” went on a racist Twitter rant after he says he was assaulted by a black woman in Times Square last night. Cumia tweeted that he was taking photos and the woman was snapped in one — and she confronted him, demanding he stop taking pictures. Cumia says she then began punching him, and he added that other people witnessed the altercation and some African Americans began to chastise him for calling her “c—.”
Here are some of Cumia’s tweets on the incident and his opinion of black people, in general.
All good. Vision in right eye is back to normal. It more pissed me off than anything. Validated my beliefs. — Anthony Cumia (@AnthonyCumia) July 2, 2014

RT @monobrowj: its women not black ppl -No, it’s not. I’ve never been hit repeatedly by a strange white woman on the street. Don’t lie. — Anthony Cumia (@AnthonyCumia) July 2, 2014

It's really open season on white people in this day and age. No recourse. Fight back and you're a racist. The predators know this. Good luck
