I was recently watching a TV rerun with a certain news personality who went to eat at an African American restaurant and he proceeded to say, “Black people have had a rough go of it… some of them can’t get past that.” What do they have to get past? Why do people treat it as, just you know, a natural disaster that they had to get past? He also stated “…now some black Americans are beginning to think for themselves.” Black people aren’t starting to think for themselves… Caucasian folks are becoming less crazy! Just think about the subversive nature of that phrase, “finally you’re thinking for yourself!” Like they were the ones with the problem in the beginning… um, no you wanker. He says, “and the blacks were well dressed.” I won’t even bother to go on. Can’t believe this was allowed to air on a major news network. I’m not pointing any fingers but I’m just trying to bring attention to something that still happens a worrying amount. I know sometimes the racism thing is over discussed but I think this is an angle that hasn’t quite been explored yet. —O

Who? – did
What? – and
Where? – did he do it.
When? – was this,and
Why? – are you telling me?
Inquiring minds want to know.
I would expect it to be Fox News, otherwise I would think someone is due for a nice cushy retirement package.
TV rerun …. what era did this so-called news personality halif from?
You think this is an angle that hasn’t quite been explored yet. —O (Should be OMG; perhaps you should read a book or two rather than watch the bubble-gum news you subscribe to if you think this hasn’t been explored!)
Unplug you fucking mind!
have no idea what “halif” means ….. too funny
“Caucasian folks are becoming less crazy!”
False. Remember the rainbow terrorist alert a few years back? Today is a lovely orange level of terrorism! White people will never stop being insane.
I didn’t write this but I know who it is! plus … Google isn’t broken you know 😉

Paul Walden from Media Matters: “If Bill O’Reilly got caught robbing a bank, he would say it was taken out of context.”
What’s an African American restaurant?
O’Reilly Huh? Well, to quote a line from that deadest of Dead White Male languages:
“Res ipsa loquiter”
Watch the Man V. Food where Adam goes to Sylvia’s, instead.
what kind of restaurant was that again o.p.? was it an african, or american one? i can’t see eating in two places at once. oh i get it, a hyphenated bullshit deal. think i’ll open my own then, it will be, german-dutch-french-english-canadian. sounds and looks real stupid, don’t it. you are living here, you are a citizen of that country. elsewhere, then you are a citizen of that country. tou are either one or the other, fuck that hyphen bullshit.
Probably Hants County.
.. that’s what he called it?
Must be a large gay population in Hants County. Complete with a rainbow terrorist alert that goes violet when a straight person walks by.
DOUBLE STANDARD ALERT When they make Chris Rock to stop saying CRACKER on TV, then we’ll tell our redneck cousins to keep it down, too.
