Bill ("if only they wouldn't act so black" O'Reilly is saying: "All I hear is 'racist this' and 'racist that.' . . . All day long! . . . And all night. . . . But in all my years, I've never even met a racist. . . . Not one! . . . They simply don't exist. . . . Next thing you know they'll try to rewrite history and say that slavery was a racist institution! . . . . Can you believe it?? . . .It was all simple economics, Pinheads!!!! . . . Geez."

(20,851 posts)It doesn't bother me. I'm completely comfortable knowing the weak minded minority will come after me with labels when I preach the truth. There is no way in which the ill-educateds or even poorly educateds attacks on me will have an affect. I don't mind the thoughts of the stupid trying to tattoo me with false facts disguised with the truth. I won't even answer them. I repeat I won't answer them. My show is above petty squabbles about race. Up next after the break, my answer to the racists that are attacking me about my racism.

(182,826 posts)Have so for 25 years now. I had another assistant but not any more. She was a loufer I mean a loser so I got rid of her. I have that Juan guy on too. Plus, you can look this up, black chicks love me because ....well.... You can look that up too. It's well established by what I've said.

(54,770 posts)There are still people that argue the civil war was not about slavery -- saying it was about "economics." I guess lynchings, job ads that said "_______ need not apply," state funded colleges that would not allow Blacks to attend, white only water fountains, etc., were just about economics.

(19,359 posts)some say an art or sport. But most of us try the channel our subject's essence, or exaggerate his or her position (as here), or satirize his or her hypocrisy (etc.) for comic purposes.
So O'Reilly didn't actually say this except in the ears of the Gods.

(54,770 posts)that Black people were just like white people. I think that is pretty close to the quote. Where I live, the "economics" meme is quite popular among the yahoos.

(19,359 posts)I reached for the slavery-economics connection because I thought it too extreme for even an idiot.

(178 posts)I can fit my whole head in my ass and my head likes being in my ass. That way, and you can quote me on this, that way I do not have to listen to the pinheads calling me racist. Im not racist. Even my asshole is not racist. I mean, come on!"
