Bill O’Reilly: It’s ‘part of the culture’ in the ‘ghetto’ for 9-year-olds to smoke weed

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

In a segment Monday night on The O’Reilly Factor, host Bill O’Reilly claimed the left supported marijuana legalization because children “in certain ghetto neighborhoods” were using the drug.

The Fox News host was responding to the New York Times’ call for the legalization of marijuana.

Joined by anti-legalization advocate Kevin Sabet, O’Reilly said that “the left” has claimed that marijuana is harmless and that they are concerned that “the blacks” are being trapped by drug laws.

“Look, the left is basically saying ‘harmless,’ okay, which I don’t agree with, I think you know that. Not a harmless substance, alright,” O’Reilly explained. “And, it’s blacks, you know, because in certain ghetto neighborhoods it’s part of the culture. nine-year-old boys and girls are smoking it, and they don’t like that. They don’t want those kids to be targeted by the cops.”

1. Does O'liely have proof of this

Or is he just talking out of his ass again?

My money is on the latter.

2. Shooting for another Peabody Award

And what with O'Really having such an advanced case of gin blossoms, he shouldn't really be discussing other peoples' addictions.

3. Well, he's the guy who knows about "ghetto culture"

After all he once dined in a restaurant frequented by a lot of African American customers and was amazed that not once did any of his fellow diners say "MF'er I want more ice tea". And besides they used spoons and forks just like Bill.

7. Anything ghetto kids do, your kid can do better...

That's because your kid has the money and the ghetto kid doesn't.

8. This guy has never lived in a ghetto so he doesn't know WTF!! he's talking about

And what about a 9 year old smoking weed in a white middle class neighborhood

9. And O'Really knows this because his Mercedes passes just two miles from a ghetto everyday?

This is standard right wing procedure: make a statement that has no basis in fact that indirectly disparages the poor and minorities. But, they're not racists, no sir.
