Liberal group blasts O’Reilly’s racial comment
Radio, TV host notes lack of ‘craziness’ in famed Harlem restaurant

Updated: 6:39 p.m. ET Sept 25, 2007

NEW YORK - After eating dinner at a famed Harlem restaurant recently, Fox News Channel’s Bill O’Reilly told a radio audience he “couldn’t get over the fact” that there was no difference between the black-run Sylvia’s and other restaurants.

“It was like going into an Italian restaurant in an all-white suburb in the sense of people were sitting there, and they were ordering and having fun,” he said. “And there wasn’t any kind of craziness at all.”

O’Reilly spoke during a general discussion about racial relations with Fox News analyst Juan Williams. O’Reilly said he believed black Americans were “starting to think more and more for themselves” and backing away from a race-based culture encouraged by Sharpton and Jesse Jackson.

Williams concurred that too many people believe there’s little else in black culture beyond profane rap.

“That’s right,” O’Reilly said. “There wasn’t one person in Sylvia’s who was screaming, ‘M.F.-er, I want more iced tea.”

NOTE TO BILL O'REILLY: Rest assured that I and other African-Americans are not just now "starting to think more and more" for ourselves.

We've been thinking for ourselves. We have never been a monolithic group.

Too bad for O'Reilly

2. The edification of Billo: Next week, it's Mexican food.

I know he will be pleased to find that his fancy rims are still on his car when he returns to the restaurant parking lot, after dinner. Now, if only there were a gay cuisine. :eyes:

3. Bill O'Reilly is the very definition of racist

Why is he still on the air? What kind of people watch his horrible show? It's incredible. Only on FOX...

[Devlzown]

4. Nothing that fool says surprises me anymore.

His experience with black people is probably limited to looking out the window of his limo while skirting a rough neighborhood.

5. Oh, Bill...

Don't you know that Sylvia's probably had a look-out so they could see if any white people were coming to the restaurant so they could all turn off the gangsta rap, stop the Yo' Momma jokes, and hide the empty malt liquor cans so they could do some steppin' and shufflin' for yo', Mistah O'Reilly, sir? :sarcasm:

"Look!" exclaimed Bill O'Reilly. "They have steak on the menu! Steak! Like us white people eat!"

6. Where is the Rev. Al, Rev. Jesse on 'this one'??? eom

7. He was expecting reefer madness?

Poor Bill, never associates with other races and can't figure out the opposite sex. That is kinda sad.

8. shorter o'reilly: Black people are animals

I didn't know they could be so well behaved.

Fucking disgusting racist. I hope this blows up all over him.

[Disturbed]

9. Are there any RWing groups or pundits criticizing his

remarks?

[cali]

12. Are you kidding?

Of course not. I did a brief check on that and they're all outraged that poor wittle bill is being deliberately misconstrued.

[Kelly Rupert]

10. Motherfucker, I want more iced tea!

Priceless.

[Liberal_in_LA]

11. What surprised him? That blacks eat with forks? What a racist idiot.

[Rex]

13. Someone should ask what he was expecting.

I'm sure that would be priceless.

[murielm99]

15. Surprised him?

He is a frightened little man. He is filled with fear of black people.

And it isn't just black people. It is brown people, gay people, immigrants, women, liberals, and just about anyone who is not exactly like him.

He blusters, bullies and points his finger to hide his fear. I am half his size, and not nearly as fearful. Poor baby.

14. Who'd a thought, huh repukes?! Black people are - people!!!

Good god - what more proof do we need that these asswipes are EVIL personified!!!
