Did he call O’Reilly a “white interloper”?

So, Blacks have another answer for 2 + 2 = 4? Al Sharpton, you did learn math? Now, take the next step. Logic is a little like math and with the right logic, you can take your conclusion to the bank.

O’Reilly wasn’t saying what African-Americans want. O’Reilly was pointing out what African-Americans have done to themselves and their children.

Al Sharpton is the Grand Wizard of the Black Ku Klux Klan

Al Sharpie is the stereotypical King Fish right out of Amos and Andy. I would cast Jesse as Andy because he’s even more stupid than Al. Where do their salaries come from, the CPUSA?

They’re both referred to as ‘reverend’, but there’s nothing religious or Christian about them. They’re hustlers. Sharpie has even published a book. I don’t know the name and will never read it and believe that Al hasn’t read it either as both he and Jesse are functional illiterates who can barely speak English.

----------------------------------------------

At least one black person (below) agrees with O'Reilly. I suspect that there are many more, but they are afraid of getting the 'Uncle Tom' treatment that Lemon is already getting from some quarters for his statements.

CNN’s Don Lemon Backs Up Bill O’Reilly: ‘He Doesn’t Go Far Enough’ In Criticizing Black Culture

Bill O’Reilly’s remarks on race last week drew heavy criticism from Chris Hayes, Bill Maher, Al Sharpton, Larry Wilmore, and more, but one unlikely person is agreeing with him: CNN host Don Lemon.

Lemon addressed the wounds inflicted by black males onto their community on his “No Talking Points” segment Saturday afternoon, saying he was able to bring this up now that the George Zimmerman trial had concluded. Before the verdict, right wing media had consistently asked why the “liberal media” was fixating on Trayvon Martin while ignoring rampant black-on-black violence, a “deflection,” in Lemon’s words, from the injustices of the Martin shooting. But now that Zimmerman had been acquitted, it was time “for some tough love on the subject.”

Lemon played a clip of O’Reilly stating, “The reason there is so much violence and chaos in the black precincts is the disintegration of the African American family…Raised without much structure, young black men often reject education and gravitate towards the street culture, drugs, hustling, gangs. Nobody forces them to do that. Again, it is a personal decision.”

“Bill’s got a point,” Lemon said. “In fact, he’s got more than a point…In my estimation, he doesn’t go far enough.”

Lemon then listed five essential reforms black men need to make in their lives in order to improve themselves and their communities: hike up their pants, remove the n-word from their vocabulary, take care of their communities, finish high school, and lower the rate of children born out of wedlock.

“More than 72% of children in the African Americans are born out of wedlock,” Lemon said. “Studies show that lack of a male role model is an express train right to prison, and the cycle continues.”

“Please, pay attention to and think about what has been presented in recent history as aceptable behavior,” Lemon finished. “Pay close attention to the hip hop and rap culture that many of you embrace, a culture that glorifies everything I just mentioned, thug and reprehensible behavior, a culture that is making a lot of people rich—just not you. And it’s not going to.”

“That said, though, the political right is not off the hook.” Lemon played a clip of Kirsten Powers remarking on how convenient it was the conservative media only cares about black violence when they can use it to “stick it to the black community.”

---------------------------------

Kirsten, it's because every time a Conservative mentions black-on-black violence the media and Liberals call them a racist or Uncle Tom. If every time you touch the fire you get burned, you learn rather quickly to stop touching the fire.

And, Kirsten, the Liberal media only cares about black people getting killed when they can use it to "stick it to the white community."

My view, what O’reilly did in his second salvo was to call out Sharpton by name. And, being the dope that he is, Sharpton took the bait. I suspect O’reilly is going to hammer the truth of the matter.
1. The black community, as a whole is an utter train wreck
2. Stats bare that out, no matter how much Sharpton rants
3. Most African-American ills are brought on themselves
4. Obama,Holder, Jackson & Sharpton play them like a fiddle
5. Black America is a burden on America
6. Whatever happened to a “productive member of society”?

You’re not black and therefore cannot discuss being black.

Is that about it, Al?

Shove it!

One of my fantasies is to have a reporter or talk show host interview Sharpton, and ask him only questions about spiritual issues — nothing related to politics. For example, we could start with “How many baptisms, weddings, or funerals have you presided over?” And then maybe some doctrinal questions, like if he believes in the pre-Tribulation or post-Tribulation Rapture. When he cannot give coherent answers to those questions, he will be revealed for the fake reverend that he really is, and his head will probably explode when he realizes that the whole country knows his life and career are based on lies.

O’reilly did in his second salvo

I don't watch him anymore, but I did watch the Utube replay of part one. He was dead on target. What day did he do part 2?

I have always blamed that dumbass Hannity for putting that lying bastard Sharpton on the air as a guest host (funny how Sharpton has no problem forgetting about that misplaced generosity). Without those appearances, unlikely he gets on MSNBC and the wider audience he has recently enjoyed. I know that Hannity is a moron, but never understood why someone on his staff didn't have the brainpower to not put this racist scumbag on the air.

.
Because that is what Rupert Murdoch wants.

Hannity has no brain of his own, and gladly slobbers over whichever ‘guest’ Murdoch has chosen to make a fool of the “conservative” Hannity.

Bill O'Reilly is no conservative and his palpable arrogance can be a turn-off but he does have the biggest cable audience in his time slot. That noted, O'Reilly honestly stating the source of the poverty and related problems in the black community were essentially correct. He made the point that these are self-inflicted problems, not caused by 'white racism'. He singled out 'Reverend' Al Sharpton (net worth 5 million) so of course Sharpton was compelled to respond. Sharpton was also compelled to attempt to deflect the issues O'Reilly raised by trying to pretend O'Reilly was dictating what blacks in America should do, thus inferring that O'Reilly was condescending - playing the role of 'Massa', an accusation sure to find favor with uninformed, resentful black Americans.

Sharpton's comment that the U.S. justice system is 'fundamentally flawed' was also an attempt to discredit the just verdict in the George Zimmerman trial while, again, playing to the black community's inherent resentment of what they have been taught to believe is the white 'establishment' oppressing them, thus absolving blacks of responsibility for their problems. Bill O'Reilly disputed that false narrative and Sharpton is trying hard to change the subject and talk about having a 'conversation' that he doesn't really want - unless it is directed at blaming whites for blacks self-inflected problems. In a sense, the same old, same old from 'Reverend' Al.
