Bill O’Reilly…unsurprisingly still a jackass
After sitting down to eat coconut shrimp at Harlem’s most famous soul food restaurant with the Rev. Al Sharpton, the talk show host told his radio listeners he was surprised that Sylvia’s was a perfectly normal, civilized restaurant.
“I couldn’t get over the fact that there was no difference between Sylvia’s restaurant and any other restaurant in New York City. It was exactly the same, even though it’s run by blacks [and has a] primarily black patronship,” O’Reilly said. “There wasn’t one person in Sylvia’s who was screaming, ‘M-Fer, I want more iced tea!’”
My favorite part, is his defense of himself last night:
The ever-obstinate O’Reilly insisted on “The O’Reilly Factor” last night his remarks were meant to show “there was no difference” between whites and blacks and “stereotypes are not true.”
Really? No difference between whites and blacks! Stereotypes: Not True! Well, well Bill O’Reilly welcome to the 1960s. Next up: asbestos: actually not good for you.

And a new motto was born: Black People: They’re Just Like People!

Some of ‘em. Good Gawd, just got back from the heart of darkness, fulfilling familial duties with those from whence I sprang. I’m not like those people either… anymore. I once had a period of enforced inhabitation with a fellow who is now the President of one of our larger software companies. He delighted in telling me that I was blacker than he was. What he really meant was that I was from the underculture of poverty and cultural ignorance that is a big chunk of this world, and he wasn’t. He was a son of wealth and advantage. We’re all prisoners of what we’ve known and experienced. Some of us happen to break out and experience more.
