O'Reilly: "I Think Black Americans Are Starting To Think More And More For Themselves"

Media Matters For America:

During the September 19 edition of his nationally syndicated radio program, discussing his recent trip to have dinner with Rev. Al Sharpton at Sylvia's, a famous restaurant in Harlem, Bill O'Reilly reported that he "had a great time, and all the people up there are tremendously respectful," adding: "I couldn't get over the fact that there was no difference between Sylvia's restaurant and any other restaurant in New York City. I mean, it was exactly the same, even though it's run by blacks, primarily black patronship." Later, during a discussion with National Public Radio senior correspondent and Fox News contributor Juan Williams about the effect of rap on culture, O'Reilly asserted: "There wasn't one person in Sylvia's who was screaming, 'M-Fer, I want more iced tea.' You know, I mean, everybody was -- it was like going into an Italian restaurant in an all-white suburb in the sense of people were sitting there, and they were ordering and having fun. And there wasn't any kind of craziness at all." O'Reilly also stated: "I think black Americans are starting to think more and more for themselves. They're getting away from the Sharptons and the [Rev. Jesse] Jacksons and the people trying to lead them into a race-based culture. They're just trying to figure it out. 'Look, I can make it. If I work hard and get educated, I can make it."

Apparently Billo doesn't get out of his white conservative suburban house much. Why doesn't his attitude surprise me and the fact there are a couple of million just like him out there listening to him.

[leftyandproudofit]

No, he doesn't get out often. He's too busy sexually assaulting his assistant.

[gardengoddess]

Or reading the porn parts of his novel to himself every night!

Good ol American values O'Liarly has, huh?

[bmermaid]

Oh my God! You mean to say they are almost like real human beings now???

The scumbag doesn't even get it.

Sadly, his listeners don't get it either.

He represents a lot of clueless bigots.

[TheOtherMaven]

Well, well, well. O'Lielly has inserted both feet in his mouth up to his neck. Isn't it about time for people to start laughing him off the airwaves?

[Melissa]

You know he is going to blaim this situation on Media Matters. He is such a strange little man. He needs to get out in the real world once in a while and take Gibson with him.

too funny

[soupcity]

should have added a warning.. may offend some (probably not as many as billo, however)

[only1Demvoter]

soupcity : Shouldn't offend if taken for what it is... Satire.

But O' Really certainly is! No one ever suggested to this tool " engage brain... Prior to engage mouth " ??

Great post. Thanx. -ralph

I love the Rude Pundit!!

That's mighty white of you Mr. O'Liar.

[hjo4]

Bill O'Reilly has insulted all the White people in America to suggest that they're ignorant enough to believe that all Blacks behave as Mr.O'Reill­y likes portray them.That is an insult to their intelligence not Blacks.Per­sonally I enjoy watching and listening to the O'Reillys of the country make complete assholes of themselves­.Please keep talking Bill...

[dadw5boys]

O;really is an INSULT TO ANY ONE WHI CAN THINK INDEPENDENTLY.

[apogee2perogee]

Ironic, eh?

[tafkaMinneapolisMike]

The more Bill O'Reilly properly labels each and every person that needs a label in the world, the more respect he garners from those who deserve that label.

Just as with our beloved President, Bill O'Reilly has the gift of properly labeling everyone he sees and then being so kind as to tell all of us about this proper label so that we can label them as well. Bill O'Reilly knows how blacks act and how they should act. We hear him and we all agree because he knows far more than we could ever know.

All enemies of Bill O'Reilly also deserve the most vile and derogatory of labels. Thankfully Bill O'Reilly provides these as well. We can call these evil people the same names that Bill O'Reilly calls them!

Thank you Bill O'Reilly for properly labeling everyone in the world and showing how far superior you are to each and every one of them in every way.

o'r sounds like a racist pig.

Imagine, PEOPLE are thinking for themselves and not being misinformed by a mean spirited bipolar shock jock like o'r.

[only1Demvoter]

But what Rethug ISN'T a bigoted ( closeted )homophobic pedophile???

BO has accused African-Americans of wanting to establish a race based culture. Can you imagine the kind of twisted, ignorant, ranting racist bullshit spew by this scumbag, asserting that BLACKS want to establish a race based culture. Man is totally ignorant of the entire history of the United States. Man hasn't got a fucking clue. Race based culture? Hey, BO, when has the U.S. NOT been a race-based culture you ignorant jackass.

[BadChristian]

I believe that Bill O'Reilly is charitable enough to believe that others are capable of becomming much more like him than they currently are... But even the worst of them are almost human.

[gardengoddess]

Labels? Only cowards label people because they're so afraid of their own pathetic little shadows.

[dadw5boys]

How they should act?
What is the color of the sky on your planet?

[SouthJerseySteve]

Why is this piece of garbage still on the air?

[SensibleAmerican]

Bill Orally should take his loofa and go meet Shaq. Only then will he start saying: "once you black, you never go back"! He "needs" it and so do Hannity and Coulter and Limbaugh and ... just fill in the blanks with all the right wing nuts!

[Trittydi]

Heard a rumor he's losing his radio show - that would be a nice start.

Oreilly: "I Think Black Americans Are Starting To Think More And More For Themselves"

As opposed to Faux Propaganda Network viewers that rely on geeks like Der Furor O' Reilly to think out lies for them.

Just guessing here, but I'd bet anything that you could count the black viewers for Faux on one hand.

I can't get over this article. It's so pathetically hilarious, isn't it?

And if it's taken Dollar Bill this long to find his way to Sylvia's when he lives in NY, just how far out of the loop is he?

For those of you who don't know, Sylvia's is a cornerstone of Harlem and has been since, oh , the 1950's at the very least.

If you are O"Reilly's age and a NYer you'd probably have eaten there since at least the 1970's. Great food and everybody has been at least several times.
But go to the Pink Teacup in the West Village for way better apple pie.

Bill's first mistake was thinking.
Unlike whites blacks tend to vote for their own self interest (which is the way it should be). There are so many stupid white people voting for Republican malarkey I've been wondering what psychotropic drugs they are on.

[shaggles]

Good point.

[66xray]

That comment is the same type of racist generalization that Bill made.

[susiesorority]

I still can't decide if he's really this pathetic, or if he's just pandering, or both.
If enough people out there truly have their head that far up their ass in 2007, this country is screwed.

[Marlyn]

"this country is screwed." YUP!

[WoodyCPM]

BO is a racist. He's always been a racist. Every time he opens his mouth to comment on race, he can't help but spew racist shit because he's a racist pile of crap.
