Bill Oreilly Can't Win Against Black Scholar Boyce Watkins

[kendalljazz]

Bill just got raped

[TheHereticAssassin]

that lady is such a apologist chump!

[p2breaker]

It is about a left wing organization who can get ratings by simply mentioning the international political superstar phenomenon that is bill oreilly.

[MegaNazikilla]

THIS BLACK WOMAN WHO BEGS FOR SCRAPS FROM WHITE MAN IS THE PROBLEM WITH OUR COMMUNITY FUCKING DISGRACE DEFENDING WHITE RACIST

[edomiteslayerkenobi]

Bill O'Reilly has a black friend LOL!

[cortezforever]

The brother went in so eloquently on the dumb reporter.

[cortezforever]

The black woman is an agent and a traitor.

[BiggerFatterBlog]

Bill O'Riely is an asshole but he's not a racist.

[ammarios]

Sure O'Reilly...it's NEVER your fault... everyone's ALWAYS taking you out of context...

Whether this is news-worthy or not, he is OBVIOUSLY a bigot, and not just in the racial sense. 

[QUANTUMMECHANIC720]

I can’t stand the man’s politics. But this is a non-story. And i’m a brotha!

[tubiejonny]

I don't even see a news worth topic here.  Was the new that Bill said the word "black"???

[Thedarksecret1]

I've noticed this one thing since I've had my youtube account. I've noticed that the issue of race, especially between whites and blacks, tend to be the most talked about and commented issue on youtube. People say that racism and discrimination doesn't exist.

[skatering42]

wtf did he think he was gonna walk in a black restaurant and end up at a rap concert?thats basiclly how he said it...thats like saying/me as a black man walked into a clan rally building and was suprised that i was welcomed in with open arms. really the kkk are not so bad and their just like any other revolting organization and thats what america is all about.its fucking stupid when i say it and its stupid when he said it..how about hey your walking into a place of business no matter what color

[gwangjuboy1]

@skatering42 People here are forgetting that a hugely disproportionate number of blacks in the US are in the lowest socio-economic group, and suffer all the usual side effects that go with being so, like committing more crime; coming from broken homes; and acheiving much less educationally. Yes, there are middle class blacks, but they are a minority within their racial group. So, some generalisations do have some applicability. This is a socio-economic issue; not a racial one.

[Dextergohard]

@gwangjuboy1 First of all, blacks have faced discrimination and been exploited economically as well as other forms of discrimination since we've been in this country. That's where the 'lowest socio-economic' status started. In regards to crime, blacks are approximately 12% of the U.S. population, so there is no way that we are committing the most crimes in the U.S. The reason it seems that way is because we face harsher punishment and are exposed more often in the media than other groups.

[gwangjuboy1]

@Dextergohard They commit a hugely disproportionate number of crimes in relation to their overall numbers. Now I agree that blacks are suffering a hangover from state sponsored racism. They have simply exchanged one form of discrimination for another; now it is based on their socio-economic position. Unfortunately there are many whites in the same position too now. In the US they are all part of an underclass which is only going to grow as America's economic situation deteriorates.

[papadoc2k4]

@Dextergohard COULDN'T HAVE PUT IT AN BETTER! "KILL DA' BEAST"

[criticalage]

Well, stereotypes are always there, and many times they do represent some characteristics of the racial / ethnic group. For instance, I am surprised whenever I go to a Mexican Food Restaurant and don't see a Mariachi on a corner playing the instruments. I would be surprised if I went to a Chinese Food Restaurant and the cook / chef was a latino, or black, or white for that matter.... Maybe O'Reily was surprised.... What? He is a racist for that? P-L-E-A-S-E...

[ElectroJeffie]

@criticalage That's because you look at the race, so therefore it IS racism and it is not being surprised.

[papadoc2k4]

@criticalage YOU FAIL! WHAT IS NEGATIVE ABOUT A MARIACHI BAND?? IT'S LIKE ME SAYING I WENT TO A PREDOMINANTLY WHITE RESTAURANT AND DIDN'T SEE ANY PEDOPHILES OR RAPISTS OR POLITICAL CROOKS! OR I WENT TO A MUSLIM RESTAURANT AND NO ONE BLEW-UP! JUST STUPID FUCKIN' SHIT!

[TheLordisamanofwar]

black woman are always taking up for the white male(devil)

[NICCAGE26]

it's like he expected us to be swinging from the lights and beating our chest.

[tuckfooable]

This man is ridiculous

[adam75south]

bill o'reilly and boyce are made for each other.

[4nathaniel]

Wow Fox have some set of balls on them...

[ThePelicans44]

He was talking to Juan Williams. Juan Williams said there was NO racist intent whatsoever... Suck on that you race baiters

[KinglyNumbaOne]

Boyce Watkins is an idiot. All these pseudo-intellectuals on the black left that relentlessly talk about race can say is "Ooooh, look at the atmosphere and the environment of racism created by this comment!"

They relentlessly take the minutest things said by white Americans and use the aforementioned idiotic analysis to paint them all as undercover KKK members.

LaShawn Barber was the only one making any sense...

[Masmosaic1]

Yes, La Shawn, you're an idiot, with not enough conscious of self to BE offended! and yes, you ARE a happy negro pushover!

[3flipmafia]

man fuck these stupid ass black people...niggers....who think that if a white person has an opinion on something that has to do with anything black then its racist. your all fuckin racist niggers.

[chevchevmoimoi]

dumb fuckin niggers

[Masmosaic1]

@chevchevmoimoi The sad truth about your existence is that you are the best product that your mother could produce from her loins, your racist words are the best product your education could produce thru you, and the combined talents of both your parents (which according to their ignorant offspring isn't much!) produced a cancerous cantankerous individual such as yourself! Realistically you are a small production of a human being and cancer has a habit of killing quickly. Rest in peace.

[DrCruel]

I agree. Bill O'Reilly, for all his rational commentary, is not able to fully counteract the calculated racist hatred of people like Boyce Watkins. So mark a marginal victory in the Homey the Clown column on this one.

And kudos to La Shawn Barber, for taking time out of her day to make Watkins look like the scheming fool that he is.

[jasonito23]

At first I didn't think anything of the conversation. But then when he started talking about the way he expected people to act (I mean the M-fers and craziness), now that's ridiculous. People can talk and say what they want. But when they air their opinions, they can't expect people not to react to them. AND I guess we need the context. Which here we don't.

[MrCrafty]

Ho'Reilly need to sit his crackkka ass down

[BobtheMoneythedbr]

O' Reilly though did have reasonable grounds to to come to that conclusion being in Harlem (Historicly Rap Culture heavy).

The fact remains though is that O'Reilly has said some borderline

comments against blacks before. Whether his racism is hate or just ignorance is to be concluded

[BobtheMoneythedbr]

Good contrast in perceptions. Mr. Watkins makes a good point of taking the man in context, while Ms. Barber was focusing on the moment.

Overall though Mr.Watkins I think is correct in this issue. While

not blantantly racist, it had the undertone of man who had a

prejudgment on what should be expected of African Americans.

[Freethinkersclubuk]

I'm white...If it was the other way round, and he was talkin bout us, white people....Wouldn't you be mad?!

He's a cheeky bugger! Definately prejudice, no excuses!

And shame on those blacks who obviously sold out for their companies!

[lovingthejourney]

Dr. Watkins: Obama IS extraordinarily articulate! So was Kennedy, Clinton and FDR. Colin Powell is articulate and I would have voted for him in a New York minute. I was sad when he pulled out of the race. To me, articulate=smart.

Duh, O'Reilly. Not all black people are badass rappers. Oh, and guess what? Some rappers are white, latino and Chinese! Character and talent cross racial and gender lines. Inside, we all want the same things out of life.

[wapaho]

This is just another example where a white man cant say anything ,but when a blackboy says something about whites, it"s ok.

[agent2020]

Wrong again. U would be sensitive if you were stereotyped as we are. Stop with the ostrich reaction, or the holier than thou reaction. Like you people don't know why we feel like we do. You white people wanna forget how your people treated us, and REALLY want us forget. We were talking equality freom the beginning, where were the white folks? There were a handful that truly believed in our cause, but the others cut off their well being so they backed off. So whos sensitive now??

[hagnuj]

1. He was with Al Sharpton. Why the hell do you think Al would be taking this fool to some "hip hop" restaurant?

2. Al snuck the jerk into Harlem without telling anyone.

[RepublicAgent]

He was surprised by the lack of craziness from those crazy ass niggers.

"Motherfucker! I want more ice tea."

[farmorethan]

guys its not that its the media going crazy accusing people and getting on people bad sides to make them attack a person who really doesn't care much he acts defensive and he is not racist he is insecure lol

[willoughby605]

this is a typical. put a  nigga vs a nigga. She is agood house bitch

[arsebaine]

The fact that he had to mention that it was a 'normal' situation that he would encounter in white neighbor hoods shows the inherit stereotypes that are prevalent in society. Why would he have to verbalise this thought or even have it in the first place? He comments show he is standing in judgment.

[agent2020]

TRUTH. Finally someone who sees throught the smokescreen of the media!!!

[biblefarce]

@arsebaine No sterotype at all. Few of us see successful thriving black businesses. That is why bill made the comment he did. Though it was not p.c, it was true.

[hulkmam3]

what would you expect a black restaurant to be like? since when do people really even know who owns the restaurant they go to. A lot of times it could be owned by a black person.

[leapoldstotch]

why would it be any different?

b/c he was surprised that there wasn't dozens of niggers being pieces of shit..

[agent2020]

TYPICAL WHITE BOY HUMOR AND PROPAGANDA!!! Damn, I thought the KKK was almost extinct.

[wapaho]

Black boys are to damn sensitive.

[agent2020]

Here we go with the racist rhetoric. Have you ever asked yourself why we are "so sensitive"? Would you be sensitive if someone kicked your door in, pulled your father outside and hung him in his own yard? Oh, I forgot, you probably are a racist yourself so ............

[EasyEs]

I would say you don't check your theories against other examples.

I am Canadian and we never had the KKK or extreme racism as you describe. We have problems with our inner city black communities like Americans have.

The reason is clear, the government destroys their communities through evil socialist government programs. As a result they are a marginalized community who feels unequal to the rest of society and don't know why, and are dependent on gov

Meanwhile African immigrants thrive here.

[agent2020]

I understand that. As long as the reason is discussed more than we are. People look at how black people are without looking at the reasons behind it.

[blackarkutech]

@EasyEs to the contrary..canada has a history of racism...look up the Afric community in Halifax

[EasyEs]

@blackarkutech I am well aware of Africaville in Halifax. I live off an on in Halifax and grew up there. I can tell you that if you go into the countryside in Nova Scotia the black communities are much stronger and have better social indicators then the urban black centers of Dartmouth and Halifax.

[blackarkutech]

@EasyEs if u know the history of that...and the history of the first nations y act like canada dosent hv its hand in racism...its a problem ALL over the world...

[EasyEs]

@blackarkutech No one is saying Canada doesn't have history of Racism. A color blind view of the world is very new and very rare in the world even today. Canada is different from the USA in that the institutional racism of the USA lived much longer in society then in Canada where it lingered in small enclaves. I don't think the USA is a racist society today. I think there are lots of people of all backgrounds who are racist in both nations, but they are not in positions of much meaning.

[Masmosaic1]

@EasyEs Thank you for your comment! It has given me insight that I had not had before!

[EasyEs]

@Masmosaic1 Thank you, I would suggest you read Thomas Sowell. or just watch his videos on you tube. Brilliant man.

Main point to take away is that black communities have the idea pushed on them that economic equality comes from political action. it doesn't and can never, civil rights do but that is the world of law not economics.

watch?v=2GklCBvS-eI

Enjoy

[24Ornella]

@EasyEs Finally someone who understands. I hate how everyone thinks that the only black people alive are the ones living in the state. You can see people of african-descendant living in France, England, Belgium , Canada, Sweden...

[ammarios]

@EasyEs I hope you were being sarcastic. I am Canadian too.

"Evil socialist government programs" ? Canada has MANY more government and social programs which have done nothing but GOOD for the people who need them.

If you were being sarcastic, then I apologize.

[EasyEs]

@ammarios Thank you for you honesty but from my experience where I live they have done lots of unintended harm and have been major factors in the downfall of various groups. Urban black communities and Native Canadians specifically. With out getting into much specifics social programs seem to have a detrimental effect on a communities long term ability to achieve economic success and a stable self reliant community.

[ammarios]

@EasyEs Well, then I guess we're going to have to agree to disagree. (Getting into a debate over it, as a fellow Canadian, you know will mean an endless back-and-forth). I have to say, though, I wish ALL youtubers and yes, politicians and media pundits..etc, ALL communicated like this. You had a point, I had a point, we disagree, yet didn't feel the need to resort to name-calling, ad-hominem. Remember the good ol' days when one could disagree with someone and still remain civil? Sigh... heh

[rdbn25]

omg. This stuff is getting out of control. These democrats are getting really crazy.

[beersgood7]

what an unbelievable distortion of what O'Reilly was actually saying. The point O'Reilly was making was in fact the same point that Boyce Watkins was making, that the media portrays black people as gangsters and hoodlums and that it was no more indicitave of most black people than the Jerry Springer show was indicitive of average white people. If you would listen to the whole conversation rather than soundbytes specifically cut to sound racist you would see that, but that would be honest.
