'Black People' Problems are Personal Choices & Obama's Fault, Says O'Reilly (TYT 7/23)

[alp227]

"Bill O'Reilly opened his show Monday night by examining President Obama's Friday afternoon speech on race and the Trayvon Martin case. O'Reilly began by saying Obama was "correct in addressing the race issue" but then proceeded to hammer the president for failing to address the "real" problems facing the African-American community." (Source)

Bill O'Reilly is pretty sure he understands "gangsta culture" and problems faced by black people. Except not at all. What did the Fox News blowhard say was to blame for violence and children being born out of wedlock? And why doesn't he ever bother to double-check his statistics? Cenk Uygur breaks it down.

This segment begins with a "CENKO UNCHAINED" graphic. Haha.

1. Because nobody knows Black people ....like Bill O'Reilly knows Black people....

not even Black people!

2. Hey Bill-O, why dont you talk about rural white youth meth/heroin epidemic?

[Spitfire of ATJ]

5. Because that's his audience.

9. Nail, meet Hammer.

ALSO,--Hey Bill, I have a question. If the solution to the problem is that young black women STOP having babies out of wedlock, then you SHOULD be fine with anything that helps secure that result, right? Well that must mean that you are now OK with the Roe decision as it stands as law.

And what will your aforementioned audience think about THAT little bit of critical anaylsis?
Yeah, that's what I thought.

You're right though that Poverty destroys "traditional" family structures and relationships. Too bad you don't give a shit about allevieting that particular problem in our culture. Oh how do I know? Thats easy--Because you won't allow your fucking Prescious lowest-in-the-western-world tax rates to be raised to help augment the solution, will you.? WILL YOU?????

again, THAT'S WHAT I THOUGHT.

and yeah, all this? This is all stuff The President understands already, and you and yours massacared him for it in the Right-wing Press for trying to explain it all, because you're still pissed that America decided that Bush was such a fuck-up that, "well, fuck it, lets give the Black Guy a shot, and see how it goes". In a country with our history of racism, YEAH, THAT'S HOW MUCH OF A FUCKUP the last Republican President was. Thnk on that as you try to fall asleep tonight (and remember that this is something the Right-wing in America will ONLY live down if they start admitting that IT'S TRUE).

[Spitfire of ATJ]

10. They don't WANT a solution to babies out of wedlock. They just want to call black women sluts.

3. Makes me sick . . . For real!

I love the work and effort Cenk puts forth here but, watching him whose name I shall not utter, I know it was for naught. There are so many people who are invested in the garbage trying to offer the truth gets drowned out.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

4. Billo is talking to the racist assholes who watch FOX "News" so they can justify their hate....

Also he is playing to the whole "God rewards you if you live a virtuous life" crowd.

In Right Wing World "these people" live in poverty because they are sinners because the rich are "blessed" and the poor HAD to have done something to piss off the Hairy Thunderer. (Who, BTW is White)

[drynberg]

7. Nailed It. Thanks.

[Plucketeer]

11. Exactly! Billo is sure 'nuff verification

That's why so many products you see in stores bear this validation: AS SEEN ON TV! Cause all the aging whites KNOW that having something phony on TV is impossible.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

12. I love it when some fool says, "They wouldn't allow them to say that if it weren't true"....

Usually in defense of Limbaugh.

Notice that it's never defined who "They" are.

[Plucketeer]

13. Spot on! nt

[MrScorpio]

6. Maybe he hasn't dealt with the "'real' problems facing the African-American community"...

Because he's too busy trying to fix the problems caused by white corporation heads, white bankers and mostly white Republicans...

If they ever stopped cause their problems, perhaps the President could spend his time fixing O'Reilly's concerns about Black people.

[tanyev]

8. Yeah, young black men just need to wear business suits and harass women with falafel,

and everyone will know they are fine, moral, upstanding people.
