Useless individual.

Did I say this? Did I even imply this? No.
So I think someone doth protest too much.

On the other hand, if someone says something that’s racist, they probably are.

Me: “Being amazed that a stereotype doesn’t hold true is a sure sign of racism.”

Jay: “Congratulations. You’ve just surpassed a whole host of stupid things I’ve read to zoom right to the top.

Wow.”

If it is so stupid, you can explain why. Go ahead, I’m waiting.

Imagine if someone on the left said, “I went to a NASCAR event and I didn’t see a single person who was obviously inbred, and no one tried to make me squeal like a pig!”

People on the right would find that offensive. Hell, you were offended by something I didn’t say, so you are clearly a hypocrite as well.

On the other hand, it was Harlem this time. He was probably hoping he’d see Jack Spade, John Slade, Kung Fu Joe, Fly Guy, Hammer, Slammer, Mr. Big
WIllie and Leonard and the rest of the cast of I’m Gonna Git You Sucka, fishbowl pimp shoes and all.

He was speaking calmly about this. It’s worse, because it’s so casual to him–he makes these statements with as much ease as others would ask somebody to pass the salt.

Or, “M-Fer, I want more salt.”

I heard the racist tyrade that also included the comment… “they are starting to think for themselves more and more”

African-Americans are just starting to think for themselves??? Really??

So I guess Marcus Garvey, Fredrick Douglas, George Washing Carver, Harriet Tubman, Marin L. King, Malcom X, and countless others…. didn’t come from or represent a race of thinkers???

and he has the nerve to be amazed we can run a restaurant and patron a restaurant without cursing and acting ignorant…
I am amazed at his ignorance of culture.
I am amazed at how he, a supposed, educated individual would make such incorrect and broad negative and entirely incorrect assumptions about an entire race.

We have a long way to go in this country.

Bill O’reilly should be fired.

Look, it’s one thing to have prejudices, as O’Reilly clearly did. He assumed that a restaurant run by and primarily serving blacks would be wholly different–and not as well-behaved–from a similar restaurant with white owners and clientele. He was surprised when those assumptions turned out to be false.

He was so surprised that he had to talk about it at length on his radio show. Amazing! Can you believe! Black folks may be more like white folks than I ever imagined!

But that just makes him prejudiced. What makes him racist is that he doesn’t understand how making such comments could be considered offensive to the same people he was so surprised by.

On the one hand, I give Bill-O a golf clap for making this attempt to bridge the racial divide. On the other, it’s obvious that he lacks anything resembling a clue.

Being amazed that a stereotype doesn’t hold true is a sure sign of racism.

Congratulations. You’ve just surpassed a whole host of stupid things I’ve read to zoom right to the top.

Wow.

Being amazed that a stereotype doesn’t hold true is a sure sign of racism.
