Bill O'Reilly Vs Media Matters"

Bill O'Reilly a few days ago had a discussion on Fox News with Juan Williams about the negative influences gangsta rap has in fueling inaccurate perceptions about black culture. Some how the liberal group Media Matters spun the discussion into a hate diatribe! The blogger La Shawn Barber went on to CNN to debate a liberal blogger about the merits of such an accusation. Below is a summar of the information from her blog.


Here’s the clip. And this is what started it all.

Bill O’Reilly and black journalist Juan Williams were discussing the vileness of the rap subculture, and O’Reilly was trying to make the point, albeit awkwardly, that whites who don’t know blacks or aren’t exposed to blacks may get the impression that the rap subculture represents black America. I was putting his remarks — “There wasn’t one person in Sylvia’s who was screaming, ‘M-Fer, I want more iced tea’” — in context. I’m no Bill O’Reilly apologist, but come on.

O’Reilly also said he couldn’t get over the fact that people in a black-owned restaurant behaved no differently than people in any other restaurant. Again, I believe it’s the same awkwardly expressed idea about the rap subculture. Whatever he meant by it, I promise you this: the sky will not fall.

However, some blacks see it differently. It’s a shame that certain black Americans, circa 2007, are so darn sensitive. With no more klansman to defend against or whites-only signs to knock down, they look for racism under cable news rocks. But hey, this is what cable news and the “civil rights” industry are all about.
