Dr. Peterson on Bill O'Reilly

[CrazyCheeseMagee]

Crimes MORE brutal!?! Does anyone remember Emmett Till. In 1955, a fourteen year old black boy was kidnapped, beaten to death, his tongue cut off and jammed down his throat, his eyes slit out, his nose hacked with a meat cleaver, shot with a 45-caliber gun, his head sliced in half, his ears inserted into his head, his teeth knocked out, and more. And the people who did this were otherwise perfectly normal except that they hated black people.

They did this because he whistled at a white woman.

[unrequited416]

This is a man who was amazed that African Americans can eat in a restaurant. His statistics are also wrong. There are much more white welfare recipients, white criminals, and single parents than the entire population. The blame blacks issue always makes O'Reily and his followers feel good. They need this tactics instead of working in that on the problems in their communities. Pitiful!!

[bootleg42]

The problem that causes those crimes is capitalism. Capitalism causes poverty and poverty causes multiple chaotic situations (father-less children, drug use, violence, etc).

So the ROOT problem is capitalism.

[shreddog2049]

Man, I know there are those positive rappers, but only a falf a percent of the black kids in America care what they say. I mean I don't see them burning up the charts or MTV.

And thats my point, that so many white kids are buying into this hip hop, rap, style, and it's infecting the whole world. The white kids want to be black, talk black, and treat women the way their favorite rappers tell them they should.

[PoetWhittier]

The negative hip hop is being consumed by mostly white kids NOT the black; while it's mostly black kids, NOT the white, that support the underground stuff. You're using hip hop as a scapegoat. you need to examine the facts you present and your beliefs (you are a racist). Why you not blaming white kids for buying the garbage that they associate with being black? Schools shootings are done by lil white boys. memba dat.

[shreddog2049]

"memba dat"? Those aren't words. So white kids are the only people that buy 50 Cent, 2 Pac, Kanye West, ect." And if white kids only buy "negative" rap, how does that force all the black people to act like the idiot examples they see in negative rap? I hate that the white kids are being corrupted along with the blacks by all these stupid rappers!

[PoetWhittier]

As I said, you are a racist. Memba dat!

[shreddog2049]

You saying I'm a racist doesn't make any sense. Because I'm pointing out something the black race has done wrong over the past 30 years? The KKK was bad for this country and still is! Am I racist against whites now?

And the comment about your, "memba dat", is because ebonics makes people sound stupid and it isn't a language, no matter how many people use it.

[umyepismine]

And ghetto shootings are by blacks, what's the point, space waster?

[shreddog2049]

We need to educate our youth to stop listening to black pop culture, which is teaching them drugs, violence, and sex, which is producing the kids with no real parents, who are in turn growing into the same type of people and commiting crimes.

[granpuba]

lol...Do you really believe that music is what making the kids do these things....Wow. You do know that the guy who did it was Mexican...I highly doubt that he listened to "Black pop culture"....All the world's ills wrapped up in some black rappers with big chains and expensive lifestyles...Lol I cant wait to see American fall...I wonder who will take the blame...The black rappers maybe..

[shreddog2049]

It's a fact that kids look up to these rappers and follow allot of what they do, and anybody who wants to think it's a joke just isn't in touch with youth culture, or they just want to defend the rappers. Pick your side and do whatever.

[PoetWhittier]

No, asshole. It's not black pop culture. Its white privilege, the social construct of race, redlining, the lingering effects of slavery, its low wages, lay-offs, high prices, inflated rents, and other impersonal forces of the market, engineered by white america, that keep the poor, poor, no matter how hard they toil....

[shreddog2049]

Whatever, but the real problem is black people that make enough money to save some of it or go to school, out spending thousands of dollars on rims and stereos, jewelry, expensive clothes, big TV's, alcohol, or drugs, just so they can be like there favorite rapper tells them it's cool to act like.

[PoetWhittier]

the major consumers of what you pejoratively label black pop culture is middle and upper middle class, white, suburban youth.culture. You ever heard of Binary Star,immortal technique, Da Truth, One Be Lo, KRS-One, R-Swift, Madlib, J-Dilla? Most of these are underground hip hop artist who consistently bring positive messages to the youth and use hip hop as a tool for change and education. Stop stereotyping, dude. most of the tv stuff white people are buying and perpetuating that shit. peace

[Chikavelli]

Bill should be hailed as the savior of America... The most idiotic controlled man on TV programming... Note the word programming..

[L0vethehater]

How about banning handguns to start with? Oh right ... guns doesn't kill ppl.

[milesd6]

If you fix education, children are still outside of school more than half the day. Therefore, communities need to come together to stop violence, and the mentality of communities needs to change. We do need more cops to help that effort. Police create stability. They resolve and prevent violence. Profiling is needed, because acting out with violence involves serious personal issues that go beyond education. Oreilly has no agenda. Half the country thinks just like Bill.

[upsidelife]

Bill is a man motivated by his own neocon agenda. He continually attacks the left, and claims that there is no far right. Too bad he is the most prominent figure in the very far right that he denies even exists. I totally agree with you. You can't throw more cops and guns into all of this, doing so would just cause more resentment. I also believe that increasing the influence schools have is THE BEST WAY to get them to learn! You are spot on sir, and one Day BillO will answer for who he truly is

[DrJamesPeterson]

I hear you lifter, I tried my best to stick to the issues and not take the bate, but I am still learning the format and the rules of engagement.

[lifter1204]

Sorry, doc. I wasn't impressed. How did you allow that scumbag O'silly to corner you? You are smarter than that!

[assive2007]

I totally agree with you. The doctor let himself down a little, anyhow, i don't think anybody can win a debate with o reilly. He's a propaganda machine, that's what he does best so he doesn't care if he wins, he just wants to make sure you look like a complete nut! Just like those two fucktards "sean & hannity"

[DrJamesPeterson]

I'm not sure who 'won' this debate, but I at least got Bill to agree with me that crack didn't exist when he was in High School. I certainly could have done more to engage him on his politics of nostalgia that simply don't apply the current moment or the challenges that inner city youth face today.

[shreddog2049]

I think the nostalgic politics need to apply though. I know it's a different world, but we need to stop the cause, which is liberal pop culture, rap music, and the rap/hip hop life style, which has single handedly made women proud to be sex objects, strippers, and have sex with as many people as they can.

[shreddog2049]

You're not all there. Sean Hannity is one person. HAHAHA, it's too late for you to have any credibility in this debate.

[shreddog2049]

So....it's cornering somebody to ask them a question that exposes their position to be flawed? Just checking. Can't you people handle any kind of debate or questioning of you thoughts?

Liberalism is a mental disorder.
