He''s a bafoon, supported by the likes of Sean Hannity and the likes.

I''m listening to Hannity now...and he just doesn''t like anyone who isn''t like him and all his cronies that support this administration.

CREEPS!

Are you insinuating that Oprah and Obama aren''t black because they don''t act like "Twista, Ludacris and Snoop Dogg?" They eat at fancy restaurants, therefore they aren''t black?! Is that where you are going with this?

Idiots.

I sense a lot of hatred here and none of it is coming from O''Reilly.

I''m glad Bill O''s racist perceptions of African Americans have been challenged by first hand experience. Maybe if he left the Fox News studio earlier he would have noticed that all African Americans don''t act like "Twista, Ludacris and Snoop Dogg." What a sheltered moron.

SFTodd - don''''t belittle what happened in WWII by calling Bush or O''''Rielly a Nazi. You have NO concept of horror, do you ? You are screaming ''''wolf''''. It''''s not that I don''''t respect your OPINION, but what are you going to do when a real Nazi comes along ?

The backgound of having been oppressed does not exist in the US of A like it did for Germany in the 1930''''s - so just quit with the alarmist tactics and come back down to reality.

Trust me, Speaking Up, Bill O''Reilly is a real nazi -- he just knows that the time is not ripe yet. Do you really believe REAL Nazis don''t exist any more. Wake up and smell the coffee -- Fox News is run by REAL Nazis and you shouldn''t be little the dangerous times we are living in by suggesting that they are just harmless rednecks. They are dead serious about their agenda, and you will see them become more and more vocal about it the more control they get over the media and our military. I don''t belittle at all what happened during the Holocoust -- But I also understand the significance of what preceded it.

I am not the least bit surprised by his comments. I think his beliefs are shared by many.

It is very unfortunate that he believes that all African Americans are ghetto and are unable to act in a respectable manner in public places.

We as African Americans live in a white society. We work for white corporations, with white bosses and employees and are often the only African Americans in the company.

Our success as people is dependent upon our ability to adapt in this society. How do you think Oprah made it this far? It wasn''t because of the %u201Cblacks%u201D who supported and loved her. View a show and you will see the predominately white faces in the audience.

I love Oprah because she shows the beauty of being a black woman in America. She is educated, successful, intelligent, and kind. She is a great example of many of those who are in the background; those you don%u2019t see everyday that take the train and ride the bus. This is why the comment was offensive to the thousands of us.

I would not label all whites white supremacists because I saw others on Jerry Springer proclaiming white power. You would say %u201Cthat couldn%u2019t be further from the truth. Why would you judge the actions of a few against me %u2013 someone you don%u2019t even know?!%u201D Imagine how it feels to be grouped in such a way.

At least he didn''t say "There wasn''t one person in Sylvia''s who was screaming, ''M-Fer, I want more watermelon and chicken.'' "

What a creep this guy is!

kail'', comprehend this: I doesn''t matter if billo had some grand purpose in mind. I don''t believe that, but even assuming he did, he STILL handed out ammo for racists to happily run with. There''s at least 3 posters here that are DISAPPOINTED that he might not have meant what he said.

jaeidiaz, re-read his comments, I personally don''t care for him, but you''re being too subjective, he wasn''t stating all blacks are "ghetto", the message was intended for "white folks" who feel that way...

actornaught you should focus more thought into "comprehension", O''Reilly may be a staunch racist, however, don''t let your own subjectiveness "overshadow" what he was trying to convey...

It''s the arrogance and ignorance of some black/white folks that led them in either way, a racist fear-monger or black self-degradationist pacifier..
