O’Reilly Defends Himself Against Accusations of Racism
Posted On 19 Apr 2016
Fox News host Bill O’Reilly is being accused of racism after an interview he did with Donald Trump last Monday. On the show, O’Reilly asked Trump what he thought of black critics who had called him a “racial arsonist.”
Trump said, “I don’t think that’s the perception at all — I think we’ll do fantastic with African Americans and Hispanics, because I’m going to bring jobs back to the country. There is a 59% unemployment rate among African American youth.”
O’Reilly questioned his claims. “How are you going to get jobs for them?” he asked. “Many of them are ill-educated and have tattoos on their foreheads, and I hate to be generalized about it, but it’s true. If you look at all the educational statistics, how are you going to give jobs to people who aren’t qualified for jobs?”
Trump responded with some words about training, but liberals had already stopped listening. They were aghast that O’Reilly could dare suggest that black unemployment rates could ever – ever – be even partially blamed on black people themselves. At Salon, Amanda Marcotte said this of the conservative host:
O’Reilly’s preferred theory for economic disparities between black and white people is about some abstract notion of “culture”, i.e. that white people have a superior culture that breeds hard work, but black culture supposedly breeds laziness and sexual degeneracy.
Well, considering that we have liberal educators out there telling us that we are promoting white supremacy by valuing traits like responsibility and hard work, it’s not exactly a stretch. It’s the leftists who claim that blacks can’t live up to these supposedly “white” ideals, not Bill O’Reilly. Their whole goal over the last few years has been to steadily set the bar lower and lower on everything from education to lawful behavior.
O’Reilly addressed the subject this week and defended himself against the ridiculous charges. “Now, the race hustlers who have apparently not walked the streets of poor neighborhoods lately immediately accused me of racism,” O’Reilly said. “And that is why the acute problem of cultural deprivation among underclassed children of all colors is never addressed. The smear merchants hammer anyone who does so.”
“If you reject the conventional road to success, education and hard work, you’ll fail in our capitalistic system,” he concluded.
That’s a fact. But if you’re a liberal who wants to deny reality, it’s all the ammunition you need to smear a man whose only crime is to tell the truth.
A recent (within last couple of weeks) there was a televised interview with three senators and four researchers discussing the impact of illegal immigrants on the United States.
One of the outcomes was a series of statements that basically said the number of illegal and legal immigrants working in the United States is having a drastic impact on Black Americans.
Not only on the blacks but on a huge portion of the American work force as well. The Blacks, according to their research, has the largest unemployment rates due to the immigrant labor in the U.S. but the huge portion of all unemployed
The four researchers agreed the immigrants are working for lower wages and little to no benefits. Because of that many business are hiring the immigrants.
Remember, it was not to long back that the Federal Department of Labor stated that three out of every four jobs is going to immigrants.
So, while Congress continues to allow huge numbers of immigrants to legally enter this country on work permits, Obama has increased the number adding an additional 25000 immigrants per year over the number already approved by congress to enter on work permits. Neither Congress and certainly not Obama have any respect for the needs of Unemployed Americans and their families.
How can Americans expect to get work whether they are white of black, if Congress continues to let legal immigrants come in and Obama adds another 25000 legal and as many illegals immigrants as wants to come here stay here and work?
Oriels is as honest as any reporter on any network. Sometimes his comments hurt – but, unlike Obama – he is not afraid to tell it like it is and tell it honestly!
Obama and the Democratic Party DEPEND on stupid people to stay in power.
However, as black unemployment stays bad will they ever start to wise up?
Stage left, enter 11-34 million illegal aliens, that can’t read or speak English, to be granted citizenship, vote democratic and take low wage jobs from black American’s.
…………….And ‘da blacks?… ‘dey will STILL love him for it!
And we the people, sit around and complain to each other and fail to take the opportunities to see the trend changed.
Obama has done more to destroy what years and years of efforts, legislation and social acceptance of people of all color, religion and social standing than any other single person n our history.
There is no longer a feeling of trust for our government, we have lost the gains of equalizing race and religion in our society, and we have over 40 million Americans taking back seats to illegal immigrants; all due to a worthless, fast talking president.
As long as we the people let the men and women in Washington set the pace for this country and do nothing but complain we will never see things change. Greed rules, silence and passiveness looses; our elected men and women are ready to bend over for party leaders and fill their own pockets rather than attend to the peoples needs and best interest.
Making excuses for underachievers buys votes just like giving away Obama phones accomplishes. Race baiting is a very lucrative industry as shown by the success that Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton have demonstrated. They have no interest whatsoever in advancing the financial status of people by creating an atmosphere conducive to job creation. And, of course, far too many of them would rather lay around and reproduce that work anyway. They view the prospect of being threatened with gainful employment as nothing they want to have anything to do with. Kool Dudes do not do manual work in their warped world. Poor people are easily controllable whereas successful people with wealth are a threat to Obama and his minions. Keep them all ignorant and mildly happy by sending them a monthly check and occasional trinkets such as those free phones and they’ll remain docile little sheep.
You missed adding Hillary Clinton to the list with Jackson and Sharpton! She is a much bigger lire than either of them.
Hillary uses anything and everything she can dig up to get a vote.
She has lied so many times (and caught in several doozy’s); and her poor judgement and decisions (i.e; vote for war without reading the bill or the intelligence information, ignoring advice to put security at Benghazi, using a personal server to send classified information at the same time she forced a U.S. Ambassador to resign for doing he same ting.)
How anyone can give their support to a woman like her is spooky.
Americans are too smart to elect pandering traitorous Hillary. Obama will be required to give her clemency in order to save her campaign and possible incarceration. Socialist Bernie was never expected to give the coronated democrap nominee a run for her money but, merely provide a leftist foil to make her candidacy look more mainstream.
It doesn’t matter. Nobody can save Hillary but Hillary. She needs prison where she is safe.
Very soon her health issues will be taking center stage.
Then, of course, there are the 40,000,000 Vets and seniors committed that she never becomes President. A pardon can’t fix that. She is on the road to hell. Of course, Obama might have some influence there. Who knows?
I think though, even if DT isn’t elected as Prez, he has been the thorn that has awakened many of us from our daze.
I am one of those! I think I have just earned an “A” in “America’s Corrupt Government Leadership” 101.
Hello Mary. You are right but it goes further. DT forced the other professional politicians to address inconvenient critical issues facing ‘We, the people…’.
Yes, he did!
I read a news report that DT is going to behave more “presidental” now.
I think, if he does, that would make him more a danger to the other candidates than he is now.
And that is the mystery: That they still LOVE him!
I think too many blacks (and whites) just blame others for their mess because they don’t possess the will to address the real causes of their problem.
Will or intelligence.
Possibly both. But even an “intelligent” person has to be taught or exposed to logical thinking skills I think. Not sure that is innate. Don’t know.
BUT they sure know how to use their free obummer phones
That’s one thing the government should stop right away, free phones and minutes, they are not free, they are part of our 19 trillion deficit.
The manufacturer of the $10.00 (cost) Obama phones charged Obama $50.00 for each phone. The manufacturer made a killing on another federal-tax laundering scheme (see Solyndra and Abengoa).
Thanks Mike Didn’t know that. But it figues
Obama made a lot of promises to the Blacks and to the Hispanics; how many has he kept?
He makes pretty specific comments then does nothing to follow u (legally) and quickly blames others for not doing so!
In any civilian job, in any military organization, a person of Obama’s weak honesty, lack of leadership, lack of trust, and always quick to point fingers and blame someone else would have him out of a job in a heartbeat.
AND, Hillary says she will carry on with his agenda; lets hope that becomes nothing more than a pipe dream and Hillary never sees the Insides of the White House or any other tax payers supported position again.
We have heard lies from the White House long enough; we do not need her there to keep them up!
First, it would not surprise me if this presidential gig is the first paying job this community organizer has ever had. Second, the only tax-payer supported position Hillary is qualified for is incarceration in the penal system.
Obama has not sold-out the blacks and other low-skill laborers (see soon-to-be-voting illegal aliens) because Obama just borrows from China (see $19 trillion American debt already accumulated) to provide public assistance to people not able to pull their own weight in exchange for their vote for democraps.
That’s the thing they’re not trying to help American citizens of the United States they’re trying to turn this country into a third world country and flood this country with uneducated diseased people playing in simple they want a civil war because they’ll make money on it
Let’s send pitbull Trump to Washington, preferably with professional politician Cruz as his VP.
You think so? Cruz seems really stubborn, so could he function peacefully as second-in-command?
Where were the REPUBLICANS, when Attorney-General Janet Reno was UPHOLDING our immigration laws, in the Elian Gonzales case?
raisin’ hell about what a foolish policy it was.
It was “foolish” to return a child to its parent?

It was wasteful expense to field a full armed Swat Team to get in the middle of a multi-family member event to carry out a Fidel Castro want…. it should have continued in court. But we all know the Commie Left likes to use gov’t force like the good goose steppers they really are. And look at the gov’t left goons involved.. still carry out their goonish polices today under Obama.
“Commie left?”
Vladimir Putin’s oil wells were built by the Koch brothers!
Bush, NOT Obama, golfed with his comrade, Vladimir Putin!
Reagan, not Obama, ordered Oliver North to sell arms to Ayatollah Khomeini!
Perfectly clear?
Communism is the goal of Socialism. All Dimmycrats are godless socialists on the way to communists. The only real difference between the two groups is that socialist have not yet the nerve to pick up the AK.
Spoken like a true McCarthyite!!
He was right you know, he successful put many of them underground and gave rise to the great conservatives and true Americans of Hollywood who saved our culture for another 25 years.
Sure!!
He also called President Eisenhower and General Marshall Commies!
Read the PUMPKIN PAPERS lately??
Must have been after Gen/Pres Eisenhower and his CAIR buddies came against him to protect his Commie buddies in high places. Pumpkin Papers was tied to the Alger Hiss case and others.. with lots of rabbit holes of which parts were legit and which were not.. almost as full of holes and additional theories as Obama’s college finances and birth certificate and trip to Pakistan with his butt buddy.
Where in the history of this panet has socialism worked. I know socialism will allow you slacker democraps to eat regularly.
Socialism has not worked!
Neither has the “capitalism” of WALL STREET!
They have trusts and monopolies!
They have corporate welfare!
Trump’s “firms” have 4 bankruptcies!
Slacker republicans?
You keep typing the same thing and it’s still bullshit. How about that POS obama and his Muslim buddies and his allowance of syian terrorists to enter the country as refugees ….oh and by the way, it’s because of what he and that skank Hillary did to destabilize the region.
So, greenpile O’shit, why don’t you crawl back up that dipshits ass and suck on some more of his $h1t
Was Elian Gonzales an illegal alien or not?
When Mexican bandit, Pancho Villa, murdered Americans in Columbus, New Mexico; liberal President Woodrow Wilson did NOT commission a wall!
He sent General Pershing in pursuit!
Patton was his aide!
Later; our doughboys went OVER THERE to protect us, OVER HERE!
Eisenhower was of German heritage.
Did he let Hitler’s ATLANTIC WALL stop him?
Ever read about the AZTEC EAGLES?
They helped General McArthur return!
Of course; Obama is a Muslim.
Karl Rove said so!!
Muslims have destroyed Europe through mass migration but, they could not find a way to cross the pond in large enough numbers to hazard America until Obama imported 680,000 fight-age mail muslim refugees. Lock-n-Load, the purge is coming.
Ever read the book, NEVER AGAIN, by Bush Attorney-General John Ashcroft?
He, not Attorney-General Eric Holder, ordered the rescue of illegals!
How many times has Putin bitch-slapped Obama. Joke: ‘Have you heard of the latest Obama diet?’ Answer: ‘Let Putin eat your lunch every day’.
That is why he is rooting for Trump?
Externally, foreign leaders are worried about a strong US president, they like dealing with pussy Obama. Pre-Obama America was militarily strong and the world’s policeman. Internally, the dead-weight welfare democraps are worried about a president that insist that each abled-bodied pseudo-American carry is own weight without tax payer assistance.
Please do not inflect that illegal immigrints matter. Legal immigrants are NOT hurting any thing. It’s obummers wetbacks that are hurting the economy only!!!!!!!!
I think maybe you misinterpreted my comments. I would apologize though if I suggested that “legal Immigrants” fall into the same category as “illegal immigrants.” Obama as made a intended habit of doing that in his speeches which has created greater friction between the people of, and in, this country!
I have spent the vast majority of my life in Law Enforcement at the local level and with the federal government. I taught criminal justice for four years and I spent a 27 years (7+ years on active duty and the rest as a reserve military officer) and I am a firm believer in our laws and ensuring they are carried out in the “spirit of the law.” Laws are made for a reason and when enforced they generally prove to be in the best interest of everyone. When, though, they are ignored society suffers from the prejudices and favoritism granted the few at the cost of all of society.
Legal immigrants are here in compliance with our laws thus they are welcome into our society and rewarded with the rights our laws afford them. Very few Americas have problems with the legal immigrants here. However, with 40 million Americans in need of work and our congress increasing the number of Legal Immigrant workers into our nation, and then Obama arbitrarily adding an additional 25000 on top of congress’ actions, it puts American workers in a hard spot. Researchers are showing the immigrants, legal and illegal, are taking jobs at lower wages and no benefits . Many then draw benefits form tax payers. Research late last year shows that 72% of the immigrants in this country are benefitting from Tax Payers social support programs. Government research shows that there is well over 10 Billion dollars a year sent out of this country by illegal immigrants; the same research suggests similar loss of revenue due to legal immigrants sending money out of this country! Money that should be supporting our schools, streets, hospitals, fire and law enforcement; tax money lost when not spent in our communities!
Illegal immigrants, regardless of how they got here, on the other hand, have chosen to ignore our laws, in coming here, when done illegally and when staying here beyond their legal status. Unfortunately, we have a large population of American kids that are here because they were born here; their parents placed them in a bad situation by disobeying our laws. We can sympathize with them, but, American men and women go to jail, some to prison, every day for violating our laws. The illegals who complain we are breaking up families have created a situation similar to that of American kids who see their parent/s go to prison for crimes. Regardless if the parent is a U.S. citizen, a legal immigrants or an illegal immigrant, they bring these problems on themselves. Openly and knowingly choosing to ignore our laws can never be an excuse for misdeeds and criminal activity. We ask the same of all people here and we expect the same; making exceptions destroyed the intent of our laws and diminishes the basic interest of our society!
Thank you for your comment; regardless of who you are or where you come from, your color, nationality or religion, it is paramount we continue ensuring all people who comply with our laws are treated equally and those who elect to ignore our laws pay the consequences!
Like it or not, our laws MUST BE ENFORCED; our president took an oath of office that include the constitutional obligation to enforce our laws; he has failed to do so. His failure has resulted in the biggest invasion of illegals into this country in our history and significant break down in our society, our values, economy and way of life. His deciding what laws he will enforce, what laws he will pick from time-to-time to apply in a way he decides, will forever leave a stain on this countries history!
Our ONLY, jailed, attorney-general was Nixon’s first, John Mitchell!!
Condone that?
Taking low-skill jobs that the low-skill American workers won’t. Obama has made it more lucrative for the low-skill American workers to collect public assistance (ie welfare, food stamps, snap).
You are aware that Herbert Hoover oversaw the Food For Belgium?
Was he a democrat?
See my earlier post but, these are low-skill jobs where the free-market determines wages for services provided are not worth much more than minimum wage. The new minimum-wage increases will simply eliminate the low-skill jobs that are available but, the good news is: it should motivate automation and robotics (ie. skilled labor). Minimum wage, as the name suggests, was never designed to support a family of four but, to serve as a bridge during worker’s efforts to make themselves more marketable.
Is that why we have capital depletion allowances?
……Now a public Service announcement to help young black youths.

If anyone who has ever listened to O’Reilly, know that he is far from being a racist. As a matter of fact, in most cases, Racism has been falling by the wayside for quite a good while. The only ones who continue the cry of racism are those liberal democrats who want to keep it alive. Now, by me saying this, I expect to hear a lot of negative comments from those liberals who want to keep racism alive.
to be racist , a person just has to say ‘WHITE BEFORE SAYING BLACK….and BAMMMM you’re a racist
What about Black before White, reverse raceism
Racism is a double edge sword both sides have many racists.
If only we could just bury racism and move forward, but alas just like the poor it will always be with us.
O’Reilly speaks the truth.
Young black men are so misunderstood. Here’s some information that will
help:
Black males aged 15-34; the main perpetrators of ALL crime in this country
are only 3% of the total US population. REPEAT 3% of the American Population
commits ALL this crime.
2013 This is the group the 2013 FBI
crime statistics say are responsible for:
56.4% of ALL Robbery
52.2% of ALL Murders
33.9% of ALL Aggravated Assaults
31.3% of ALL Forcible Rapes
2012 FBI Statistics
54.9% of ALL Robbery
49.4% of ALL Murders
34.1% of ALL Aggravated Assaults
32.5% of ALL Forcible Rapes
2011 FBI Statistics
55.6% of ALL Robbery
49.7% of ALL Murders
33.6% of ALL Aggravated Assaults
32.9% of ALL Forcible Rapes
3% of the US population creates ALL this misery.
Right on Kim. Purveyors of PC don’t want to hear this. Great job.
Although it has always been a lop-sided social problem, we have over the past 40 to 50 years been able to make some headway in developing equality and recognition of the problem and bringing a better acceptance of all people in our society.
It has been under Obama’s administration that much of what we had achieved in equality, educational, work and similar qualities of life for not only the blacks I our society but all people has deteriorated!
He, just as Hillary Clinton is now doing, made a lot of promises, but failed to carry them out and adversely turned the clock back to where we were years and years ago! Hillary says she will continue on with Obama’s agenda – we can not afford any more of the damage to our society we have seen in the past 7 years! She is known for her lies, there is no reason to think in spite of her background, that she will do anything right for the blacks and Hispanics in our society!
Consider our worst gangsters!

Democrats and Dummies………..a formidable opponent and the only way democrats win is when the dummies vote for them. Which they will because they are synonymous.
Of course O’Reilly’s right. Culture is everything and it begins in the home with nurturing parents. Two of them, who make reading and talking a serious part of the daily schedule. Throw in a little about what’s right and wrong in terms of correct manners, personal responsibility and how to treat other people. Oh, and a good parent might teach the little tykes that policemen are their best friends, not their enemies. Just sayin’…
Does a loving father beat up his wife?
You can always tell when a liberal dem bloodsuckers runs out of anything to say but feels compelled to say something,.

You are a low life liberal dem bloodsucker, that will vote for the Clinton outlaw.
You are without merit,. worth value, moral honor or integrity.
The only good thing about you is that in about 2 years we will separate ourselves from you scum and applaud as you starve to death.
Cliven Bundy could not have said it better!!
Hero of yours?
Said what, that we are going to have to separate ourselves from you scum, to prevent civil war?
“Separate”?
By trespassing on public property?
You arethe one concerned about Bundy, not me liberal dem bloodsucker.

You have about 2 years, unless Texas gets really busy, then we will close off our borders, station volunteer marksmen there and shoot anything crossing at a not legal crossing.
kick back and applaud as you liberal scum starve to death.
We Americans that Matter , have tolerated and endured 7-1/2 years of the most divisive,antagonistic,racial instigater in our history. So many of these underclass unemployed cannot and do not deserve a job. Qualifications,attitude and ambition is lacking in many and there is no benefit in bringing them aboard any organization built on teamwork,hustle and trust. As for this so called person posing as a US President he has further eroded any chance of employment for black youth by allowing and promoting the flooding of the nation and job market with unskilled, poverty stricken similar militant undeclass to compete against. Obama to leave office having done severe damage to the country , much of it with mal intentions.
Obumba was a Chicago agitator what more do you need to know ?
You forgot un-American muslim.
Yeah, he’s been an awful president and probably our first illegal one.
To One Big Ass Mistake America’s credit, he choose Biden as VP making impeachment a dicey affair.
All good points. What missing in the black race (also portions of all races) is that parents are not raising their children to succeed. I can remember my father busting my chops and repeating numerous time ‘…childhood should be fun but, take advantage for the mandated free schooling, graduate and, go to college on the always ever-available financial aid and build a marketable skill…’. Parents not emphasizing this are doing their children a dis-service.
O’Reilly, as always , told the truth.
O’Reilly is right on the money, people who are not willing to get some education to help in getting a job seem to be very ready to blame society for their situation and it doesn’t make any difference what the color of the skin is.
There needs to be an effort made on an individuals part to improve the knowledge base to situate themselves for better opportunities for adequate employment. There is the problem too that availability needs to made for those seeking to improve their situation and I think this is overlooked for the most part. Bill O’Reilly was just stating a fact and not laying blame for the way things are. There are a variety of reasons for people that need help in getting themselves a better situation for employment. The jobs some times are just not available also.
I have to say at this point, those who are not willing to help in this matter are no better than those that are not willing to help themselves. As a society we are in this together and no one is an island unto him/her self it effects all of us. Lets help others when and where we can.
IN MY YEARS AS A RETAIL MGR.,I HIRED VERY FEW BLACKS,AS THEY WERE LAZY AND OUR ASST. MGR SPENT ALOT OF TIME WATCHING THEM AS THEY SPENT MORE TIME HIDING IN THE STOREROOM OR FLIRTING WITH THE GIRLS .ON EVALUATION TIME THEY TRIED TO LIE THEIR WAY THROUGH THE PROCESS,SO IN THE END ,OUT THE DOOR.IN 25 YEARS I CAN COUNT THE BLACKS WHO WE HIRED AND FIRED ON ONE HAND,OH AND DID I MENTION ,SOME WERE FIRED FOR STEALING.END OF STORY.
One hand?
You have a very large sample!!
One could only wish all the successful Black leaders in this country, Men and Women, would stand up and defend the young Blacks and tell them that following the Democrat mantra and praising a man just because he has a title of President but does nothing for the ninety three thousand Americans, Black and White, while he opens the borders to any and all foreigners into this country without any border control whatsoever. That is where the blame belongs and and the end result is hooray for the downtrodden from other countries and to he!! with those Americans as the end result seems to be, we are secondary in his concern for the people of this country.
Study politics and see where and who is taking you there and make your own decisions on who best represents America and stop drinking the kool ade that makes you believe only the Democrat party is on your side. They want and have had total control of the Black communities for centuries and the recent polling of Clinton shows just how she panders the Blacks and yet, even as a Senator, has done nothing for them but fill them full of promises

They were murdered at Trump Taj Mahal!
Should the police keep a watchful eye on that place?
I agree with O’Reilly on this issue.
Since when does Truth become racism? O’Reilly has, on more than one occasion, isolated the real problem with Blacks, and it is what’s breaking them down, lack of Family, irresponsible sex, crime and the lack of desire to get out and work for a living. These people are grinding out “feral Human Beings” to prey upon all of us.
I agree with O’Reilly’s point that when people choose to get tattoos in visible areas, many businesses will not hire those individuals because companies want to project a certain image of cleanliness and professionalism. I’ve worked at many businesses that had strict dress codes dictating no visible tattoos. So, I agree with that point, but maybe he should not have insinuated that it is a “black” issue. It’s really more about people getting educated on what is considered professional dress code. This is why our government has been doing a disservice to many of these low income individuals by not having more programs to assist with job placement instead of wasting so much money just paying out government assistance. Some states are now putting some focus on supported employment programs to help better prepare people for jobs and help get them employed. I believe that Donald Trump would be able to create a work environment to allow many of these individuals to become gainfully employed. Just building his wall between Mexico and the USA would allow for many construction workers, and many of those workers have tattoos. Trump is a builder, so he understands that not everyone can fit into corporate America. Many of these workers need blue collar jobs like in construction, plumbing, electrical work, etc. You can have as many tattoos as you want in some of those professions, and people don’t care. So, it’s more about giving people the opportunity to work, teaching them good work ethics, and having them earn their money instead of collecting government assistance. I think Trump is the man for the job. Go Trump!
I have come to the conclusion that Liberals do not want minorities(which they think they own) to get a good job and increase their living standards. This ‘play on words’ is their tool used to justify their antagonistic attitudes.
Of for crying out loud why in hell has he got to defend him self for? What he said was the truth.. Defend my a ss
According to the BLM and their acolytes, all white people are racists. White people should start wearing this nonsense as a badge of honor.
speak facts, get branded a racist…check
Since when has O’Reilly ever spent any time in a Black neighborhood? If he is speaking statistically, I’m sure that anyone who is educated could make the statistics show that there are huge number of Whites who would fit into his assessment. White privilege is a fact in this country and has been since the start. Why do we have a Black history month? Because in schools we were taught only about the White, male heroes, inventors and industrialists. How many of you know who George Washington Carver, Harriet Tubman, Rosa Parks or the dozens of other Blacks are or how they helped make America great? Not even to mention the Hispanics, Asians, women and other non Whites.
he did spend time in a black neighborhood b4.
I wasn’t brought up with money either, but consider how everything in this country has been catering to Whites. Not until recently did you see people of color in TV ads, fashion ads and the like. If he cares so much, why did he make such a comment? I’ve seen as many Hispanics and Whites tattooed on their heads and necks, yet he’s never seen them? If not racist, he was certainly bias. Why didn’t he ask about white supremacists sporting stars and bars tattoos? Or just plain illiterates and lazy people? Singling out one group sounds on the racist side to me, unless he was trying to make Trump look like one with a response to his statement. BTW, do you know what any of those people I mentioned did?
It is one thing to say that people, either as individuals or as a group, do not have the skills necessary to get along in a society, and another to say that they lack the innate ability to learn how to do something. The latter was what Scalia said from the bench in the most recent affirmative action case, and that is racist. A part of what we find in the black minority is the break up of the family structure both during slavery and after and during slavery when it was illegal to teach a black slave how to even read. Eugenics (selective breeding was practiced during slavery), and famlies could be sold off to different highest bidders, and so when slavery ended there were already a lack of male role models, and this has persisted to this day in the black communities – in the 1950’s I can remember that while I was in CA that a woman could not get welfare if there was a permanent man in residence, but this has changed, but the effects still linger.
During WWII my parents worked in a Navy shipyard on the West Coast. Dad went there first in the car, and mom and I stayed where he had been teaching in ID. The barracks where my dad lived burned down but what passed for married housing was ready for us to move in, and Kaiser and Company paid our way to be with dad. But there had been trains going through the South enlisting Black workers for the shipyards and other places, because the thought was that Blacks would not fight, and were only good as cooks and other meanial labor like loading ships, so they could enlist, but they were generally exempt from the draft. While my parents worked I was in a nursery school, and there were no Black little kids. That broke up black familes, and it was not until 1948 that President Truman ordered that the Military be integrated. But that was hardly the case when I went into the USMC in 1957, and met my first black man in person. With the exception of maybe 2 out 20 or so black men in my platoon went to the infantry with the rest going to mess halls, supply and other duties. Now, in the all voluteer military, black people are over represented in the ranks, but under represented in the Officer Corps.
Also, in 1948, the UAW went on strike because during the war prices and wages had been frozen, and, again, trains were sent to the South to get black workers as strike breakers. Now, in my home town where I have lived since 1946, which is only abou 30 miles from Denver, the Black population is almost non-existent and the visible ones are either doing menial labor or semi-skilled, and this is in a place where the median family income is over $100K. I was in grad school in TX when my daughter was in elementary school and she practiced what we preached – treate everybody equally, and so by playing with the little black girls the white girls would not play with her; she was the only white girl in her Girl Scout troop, and since we were better off we rented the mini bus to take them to camp and bring them back. I have now had 2 Black sons in laws, and the current one is far nicer than the 1st even though he did over 17 years in a Federal Prison. Your odds of going to prison, if you are white, is less than 20% than if you are black.
People use drugs for the same reasons that they use alcohol, it gives them temporary relief from their misery, but when they wake up they are still black. Youngest grandson was at the top of his class in middle school, but only graduated with his class from HS barely – Not being able to afford to even get started in college broke his spirit, so he stocks shelves at a Home Depot – with an IQ of 145 or so – give me a break! In CO it now costs more for a year in a State University than I get with 100% VA disability. Tell me there is equal opportunity.
I had actually thought Racism was dead in the USA, because where I lived, everyone got along with everyone, Blacks, Whites, American Indians, Everyone! I was a Democrat in 2008 and a Hillary fan, but I was leery about Obama. Every time he spoke, all I heard was Arrogance, BS, and LIES, so I could not support him when he won the nomination in 2008. Then the Democratic Party started showing their true colors, which were no longer Red, White, and Blue, and Obama started his agenda of dividing the Country thru Race and Class Warfare, stroking the flames every chance he got, Beer Summit Stupidity was what he showed! He could have been the greatest President of all time, bringing our Nation together as ONE, but that was not what was on the Homosexual Muslims Kenyans mind or in his agenda! Today, the best thing Obama could do is give us his Obituary! That will be the best thing he could ever do for the USA, DIE!
Facts are facts and ORielly is very good at getting the facts, he,s just like Joe Friday on Dragnet, just the facts maam.
Facts are now racist, What about the blacks that say the same thing about blacks? are they racist also, since when is the truth now considered racist. Do some fact finding on all cities and towns run by black politicians. Look at neighborhoods with all black residents,as with any race of people you have exceptions to the rule, however, if you are an educated black and live in a decent place and are doing well with your family, we are called “Uncle Toms”, “Coons” etc. So why are we blaming white’s when they are telling the truth about us? Yes, I know the truth hurts.
If Robert Fulton was the father of the steam boat, guess that could make King Barry the father of the rebirth of racism in the good old USA; because before he arrived, some thought it was marginalized and on the road to gone. The only thing bad O’Reilly did was raise his voice in defense of himself, when he should have just said ‘piss off’.
obama is as racist as you can be, He and Eric Holder have set this country back seventy years
The pathetic left wing liberal Democrats call ALL racist if you are not one of them or agree with them. Kinda like the Islamic nuts out there if you don’t convert to their way they will try and eliminate you. Strange isn’t it that their thought processors seem to look alike and now we have Hillary talking about we should have positive gangs what the heck. Promoting gangs isn’t to smart but the left believes in looting and gangs and killing each other and then blaming it on everyone but themselves.. I think America is finally waking up to these bloody pig headed liberals and the elite establishments.
Two words, “Al Sharpton”…The picture of Racism…
O’Reiily is no racist, he tackles provocative issues head-on. Bill walks a political tight-rope these days, just trying to be impartial, which is a far better position than Hannity has taken as an ombudsman with a Fox microphone, for Mr. Vulgarity, Donald Trump.
