O.K, I gotta stop watching Fox, Bill O'Reilly, and Sean Hannity! But if I do, how would I ever have clear and convincing evidence that pure unadulterated racist ignorance exists disguised as "fair and balanced" reporting?
I've just seen two segments from tonight's O'Reilly's Factor. The first segment, of course, was more Obama bashing - so what's new? Absolutely NOTHING! During this segment, one Republican woman - white of course; and one Obama supporter...you guessed it - were having it out with O'Reilly trying to be the mediator. Anyway - sorry, didn't catch their names - but the segment was spent undermining African Americans supporting Obama. Yes, you guessed it! Those of us supporting Obama are only doing so because he's Black! The Republican, and O'Reilly, continued to discount the evidence that Obama has garnered support from people across color and gender lines. Hey! It ain't many of us in Utah, Alaska, OR Iowa! And ain't no way he could have the popular, delegate, and superdelegate votes if we were the only folks voting! But, that didn't matter to these two numb-skulls (The Repub and O'Reilly)! But get this, my Republican gendered-sister said that (and I paraphrase) that the race issue was going to kill the Democrats because they divide along racial lines and talk about it! And that's the reason the Republican Party doesn't have that problem. As my kids say OMG! OMG! And as I say WTF!
So, I should have turned. Right? NOOOOO, not me! The Obama-bashing was over so what else could they do? Well, just before O'Reilly broke for commercial he showed a YouTube video of a high school dance in Memphis. Yeah, you guessed it (if you haven't seen it already) - the teenagers were gyrating, bumping, grinding, and simulating sexual acts on the dance floor. When he comes back from commercial, he has the Interim Superintendent of Memphis Schools as a guest. O'Reilly begins to tell this man that there's something wrong with the school...something wrong with the students! And THAT something has been wrong with both for a very long time. He badgers the superintendent - then shows more of the video. O'Reilly then continues to and all but calls for the principal's head on a platter. And of course, the students seen were Black. The superintendent is Black. The principal is Black. D*MN!!!
Now, I'm not going to find the video to watch it again or post it here. Just won't add more fuel to the fire for the folks in Memphis. But, I have no doubt that they will take the appropriate and necessary steps to deal with what is not only embarrassing but certainly infuriating. If they were mine - there would certainly be some real a*s whooping going on! But, I am providing a link to the list of companies advertising on Fox provided by Eddie Griffin; because this O'Reilly segment is yet another illustration of this network's continued racist reporting! It was not only NOT NEWS but also NOT NECESSARY! Oh yeah, that link also has a petition if you're interested.
Perhaps Mr. O'Reilly could hook the Memphis School Officials up with some of their counterparts who have experience embarrassing acts at the hands of their student. I am sure that officials from the schools listed below have resolved all of the problems they may have had with their students.
