Message to Bill O'Reilly (From a Black Freeper)

The O'Reilly Factor | 7/31/07 | Stanley Jackson

Actually, I was wrong, it was from 2001. See this post by tgslTakoma, who found it.

[The Mayor]

Well said!

[Michael.SF.]

Excellent letter!

Regarding Freeper's and racism, I am reminded of the old question: When did you stop beating your wife?

Republican's in general and conservatives in particular have been labeled as racist's by the left. They refuse to let it it go in spite of all evidence to the contrary, starting with Barry Goldwater's support of Civil Rights legislation back in the 60's.

So just the variation of the above might be:

'When did Freeper's stop being racists?'

Both questions are equally invalid because of the false premise upon which they are based.

Oh’Really is a popinjay.

[Eaker]

Getting late.

Better pick up that Harry Pooter guy’s book and read a while.

Thank you Mr. Jackson for your post.

Just further proof here at FR we are all people, conservatives mostly.
Had you not described your self as a black person, none of us would know and, further more, we wouldn’t care.
Our color is not the essence of FR and, never will be.

[Saundra Duffy]

Jim Robinson should sue O’Reilly.

I think it was this one with the “I hate blacks”

Can all the FReepers get a class action suit together?

[Biggirl]

I did see the presentation on O’Reilly’s show, talking about left and right wings websites, it was this site and the DailyKos.

Thanks Stajack, you are awesome!

[MizSterious]

If I’m not mistaken, he also mentioned the one tgslTakoma found.

[KoRn]

Way to go! someone needs to get Bill with the program. Though I’ve always had the suspicion that Bill has a problem with free speech. Sure he would tell you he believes in free speech, but as soon as anyone criticizes him or something he believes in, he begins to use words like “hate speech” and “slander” and insinuates that some “control” should be in order to prevent such reckless, vicious, and hurtful speech.

O’reilly has a strong authoritarian side to him, and sometimes he lets it show. He’s hardly a conservative in the sense we would know it.

[Biggirl]

The FReepers are a great group. Why compare us to the Kos folks?

[Triggerhippie]

O’Reilly must be under-equipped in the thinking department.

FR is (with a few exceptions) populated by conservatives who value the individual. Bigotry (what the ignorant call “racism”) is exceedingly rare here as is evident from reading the posts. Bigotry requires collectivist thinking where people lump others into groups, “them”, and then profess “our” superiority to “them”.

I must confess my own bigotry against:
1) Stupid people (DU, Kos, DNC, etc.)
2) Criminals
3) FSU fans

** Occasionally there is some overlap with these groups. **

Racism (the belief in a genetic superiority of one race over another) is Hitler/Sanger/Tojo crazy.

Thanks Stan, we need you Sir. BTW, I was driving thru Lawton last week. What hell is ‘Smitty’s Toot and Tote’? LOL

[netmilsmom]

Both quotes were certainly not from today!!!

[mad_as_he$$]

Considering, your English is excellent!
