O'Reilly: There's A 'Problem' With 'Personal Behavior' In Baltimore

Fox News host Bill O'Reilly on Tuesday night said that the problems that the black community faces in Baltimore stem from issues with "personal behavior."

O'Reilly noted that the mayor and police commissioner in Baltimore are both black.

"Despite African Americans controlling Baltimore, the city's not prospering," O'Reilly said. "The facts then dictate that racial persecution really isn’t the problem in Baltimore. Something else is in play. That something else is personal behavior."

The Fox host then cited statistics that show that a large number of the crimes in Baltimore are committed by black people.

"With so many African-Americans committing crimes, there’s going to be tension between the cops and the community," he said.

Blind link to deliberately deceive and insult your intelligence


Again, black respectability politics always sounds better coming from rich, conservative, white men.

I am just sure that all of Baltimore woke up this morning and said out loud, "Hey we forgot about personal behavior!!"




How incredibly condescending and disrespectful of him. But we all know that that is for his audience to hear....now get to the last segment with all the "dames" before grandpa nods off to sleep.

Indeed there is.

The police are killing unarmed innocent people in every state in the country.

Let's start there.

A majority black population and the fact that most crimes are committed by members of that majority population is surprising in some way?

Want to take a guess at what racial demographic commits most crimes in let's say Utah or West Virginia or Hawaii or Puerto Rico?

*by those who can still vote.

This man with a history of sexual harassment isn't exactly in a position to lecture others on personal behavior.

Of course nobody in the media will say that.

and his spine severed by the police, for no reason except running in fear from them, yes, there is certainly a behavior problem, and that behavior problem is in the police department.
