WATCH: Civil Rights Attorney Snaps On Hannity

"We're talking about racism!"

Tuesday on Fox News' Hannity, Sean Hannity and guest Deroy Murdock took an earful from civil rights attorney Leo Terrel, who couldn't believe the two denied racism as having played a part in any of the high-profile murder cases of Trayvon Martin, Michael Brown, or Eric Garner.

Murdock, a black Fox News contributor, laid out his case that President Obama, Eric Holder, and Al Sharpton have charged racism all too often in cases like these and in doing so, have made race relations in America "more contentious… than anything I've seen in my lifetime."

Hannity joined in, saying that Obama rushed to judgment on each case without hearing the evidence, thereby making the president "a three-time loser on high-profile race cases in the country." Hannity added, "Not exactly somebody that's the great racial healer that he claims to be."

Hannity then asked the question that broke the camel's back: "How does a president be so wrong so often -- a constitutional attorney, no less?"

And Terrel snapped:

I cannot believe that you have a guest like Mr. Murdock and yourself are talking about this situation in such a negative manner when in Oklahoma, a bunch of white-privileged kids use the N-word about people like me!

Just the mere fact that you brought that man in here -- Mr. Murdock -- to basically say whatever you want is amazing! Why don't you talk about Oklahoma today, Sean Hannity?

Terrel went on to say that he was "embarrassed" to be on the show alongside Murdock and continued to demand the conversation shift to Oklahoma. 

Both Murdock and Hannity tried to calm Terrel and help him understand that they were all in agreement over the shameful acts in Oklahoma, but to no avail. 

Terrel continued ignoring Hannity's question and kept up his combative tirade until the segment ran out of time.
