Bill O’Reilly says comments are not racist…
Posted by Media Outrage on September 27, 2007
It’s difficult to keep up with this guy’s racist remarks that he makes on a daily basis. He and Imus must be related. I personally think O’Reilly is in competition with his own self to see if he can outdo himself. Like Chris Rock said “What does a person have to do to be racist these days??? Kill Medgar Evans???” Michael Richards you remember him Kramer from Seinfeld the comedian who had the “Look it’s a n*gger tirade” on stage. Of course we do.
From the looks of it every public official in Jena Louisiana is a racist, especially the D.A. Well anyway Bill O’Reilly has made more ridiculous racist comments. Here are some of them…. you be the judge….
On his September 19 radio show, O’Reilly said he took civil rights leader Al Sharpton to the Lenox Avenue fixture and “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,” he told listeners. “It was the same, and that’s really what this society’s all about now here in the U.S.A. There’s no difference.”
And later, speaking with National Public Radio correspondent and Fox analyst Juan Williams, O’Reilly said there “wasn’t any kind of craziness at all” during his dinner with Sharpton: “There wasn’t one person in Sylvia’s who was screaming, ‘M.F.-er, I want more iced tea.’ “
“It was like going into an Italian restaurant in an all-white suburb in the sense that people were sitting there and they were ordering and just having fun,” he continued
“Anybody who listened to it … would, I think, have appreciated the discussion for being an exposition of why people are afraid not only of blacks but of everybody they don’t know,” he said.
Elsewhere in the September 19 program, O’Reilly said he was trying to reassure whites — such as his grandmother, whom he said had an “irrational fear” of blacks — that rap-star stereotypes of African-Americans “are not true.”
“This is what white America doesn’t know, particularly people who don’t have a lot of interaction with black Americans,” he said. “They think the culture is dominated by Twista, Ludacris and Snoop Dogg.”
Williams defended O’Reilly during O’Reilly’s Tuesday night show. He said portraying O’Reilly’s comments as racist was “rank dishonesty.”
“It’s outrageous, because the discussion we had was about how too often the images on TV are these rappers glorifying drugs, glorifying violence, degrading women,” Williams said.
But Suzan Johnson Cook, a former Clinton administration official, said O’Reilly sounded surprised that a black crowd was so civil.
“Was he expecting people to be jumping all over the place?” she said on CNN’s “Out in the Open” on Tuesday. “It’s very sad that, in 2007, a man who influences so many people, number one, has that kind of ignorance, who has not been exposed to our culture.”
In a written statement, Bill Shine, Fox’s vice president for programming, added, “This is nothing more than left-wing outlets stirring up false racism accusations for ratings. It’s sad.”
Yea sure pal…Bill Shine you get paid to say that… you probably have a few white sheets and white hoods in your closet too don’t ya??? Nathan Bedford (the man who founded the KKK) would be so proud of you guys…especially the District Attorney in Jena Louisiana, Reed Walters.
Certain stuff is so outrageous to the point that it could almost be comical. Bill O’Reilly has a personal crusade against Rap (which in his mind is the cause for everything bad in society) but in turn is a complete racist…

[...] Wow with the tons and tons of racist acts being committed by public officials every day, that MVP race for “Racist of the Year” is becoming a tight one. And we thought Bill O’Reilly was a sure win…Julie Myers and State Rep Carla Blanchard Dartez are gaining on you. You better start slinging some more Sylvia’s comments. [...]
