Dick Allen Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 O'Reilly cracks me up. His show was on while I was working out last night. He starts going on and on about how the internet is basically destroying the world, then tells everyone about a nice conservative website to hit, then tries to hawk all his things on his own website and reads emails from viewers.

The reverend(s) Al and Jesse can pull racist s*** all day long, and it goes right on by. Too bad Bill wasn't acting White enough. Then he would have been OK.

Doesn't matter if you are black or white, never, ever, acknowledge there may be differences. Not in genetics, not in environment, not in speech, never ever. As a matter of fact we are all clear.

Lying and running around screaming "racism" when they are using racist means to suck out money from people, or being a douche on TV? I rate it about the same, but since it's a "conservative" you all want to take pot shots at how bad he is. somewhat sounds like every priest and pastor out there doesn't it???

klaus kinski Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 There will never be harmony as long as someone cries racism at every ethnic comment. Every ethnic group has some type of heritage difference. Deal with it. Blacks are not immune to ethnic and cultural diffrerences, as are Irish, french, Germans Mexicans etc. Its unfortunate that his comment, meant to be a good thing, is used by race mongers the opposite way. Some day, race will be treated as another nationality, and all this crap goes away. That will be when hucksters like Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton, and the Miss Black America pagent etc disappear.

You think every priest and pastor are racist jerks looking for money? His post was over the top, but there are parallels. Pastors and Priests are selling something to get the cash register to ring. I believe homosexuals replaced communists as the boogie man of choice. A common "enemy" that needs to be overcome. There is a "follow me and go to heaven" follow them and go to hell component. Again, not defending the original post, I just looked past the hyperbole and saw a grain of truth in there. Their behavior could seem "racist" against other religions.

No, not going around race baiting. That's the difference between Jesse and Al and these so-called "evangelicals". Pimping is one thing, race pimping is completely another.

LowerCaseRepublican Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 Some of the phrases he uttered were pretty damn amusing. Then, I sit back and wonder how insulated he is from a regular middle class community, let alone a minority middle class community in a stereotypically very minority part of NY. It's just like the kids who use 'gay' as an insult in my class -- after I set the record straight that they are 1) using a word improperly and 2) people are born that way so it makes about as much sense for me to insult you for having because it is something that a person can't control. Doing it nicely seems to work and I've even had other kids correcting people about it in the halls. Bill O often times plays fast and loose with the facts and rightfully gets flak for that. I don't want to give him too much flak for trying to get a better understanding of a community of which he seems to have little knowledge. I'd give him the benefit of the doubt that given his job, etc., he is likely very unfamiliar and isolated from the African American community in general so it's a bit of a new learning experience for him. He's used to the battle against Ludacris/ pimp-ho-domestic violence promotion/ taking gangsta rap as literal when it is (perhaps was is a better word) a means for the community that uses it to discuss social ills like drugs, violence, racism, etc. stereotype of the black community. When one holds a certain belief, of course it is bound to be a shock when one sees something that flies in the face of the preconceived notions. While it was a "funny" comment with the verbiage he used, I am cutting him a little slack because at least he seems to be making an attempt to reach out into a community with which he is very unfamiliar and that is admirable. Hopefully, further exploits into this nature will lead to a lessening of his ludicrous (pun intended) stereotypic prattle as he gains a more familiar understanding.
