This guy is unbelievable. From listening to the clips below, you get the clear impression that Bill O'Reilly has never hung out with a black person in his whole life. He keeps getting surprised that they are just like everyone else. Who knew?!
Listen to these gems from his radio show where Bill O'Reilly explains black people to white America:
As usual, Media Matters broke this story. Click here for even more details -- it turns out African-Americans don't randomly yell "motherf---er" when ordering their food, either. The surprises never end when you're hanging out with Bill O'Reilly. He's like our generation's Mister Rogers for racists.
Remember the average age of Bill O'Reilly's television audience is 71 years old (the radio show audience might be even older). So, he is basically doing his show at a senior citizen's center for people who grew up during segregation. That's why the fact that black people and white people are the same might come as news to his audience. Maybe he is doing them a service.
We also have to thank Al Sharpton for introducing Bill O'Reilly to black people for the first time in his life. What a hilarious odd couple. I love the idea of Al Sharpton being Bill O'Reilly's first black friend. Bill, there is so much more he can teach you. But this will come as news to you, too -- Sharpton does not necessarily represent the average black man. And did you know they're not all the same? I know, it's so hard to keep up with this crazy, new America where all the races mix. Give it time, you'll get the hang of it.

226. For the idiot (Lou Bon)who claimed that blacks have never contributed anything: every day you used items that were invented by a black person. I take great pleasure in listing SOME of those things for you: the light bulb, the ironing board, the traffic light, the pen, the refrigerator, the air conditioner, cell phones (YES, cell phones), the bicycle frame, blood banks, the gas mask, the clothes dryer, the curtain rod, the stethoscope, the street sweeper, the spark plug, the stove, the lawn mower, peanut butter, the pencil sharpener and (laughably) the golf tee. That is just a FEW of the inventions blacks have contributed. So perhaps you should go back to school and learn a few things, eh? What the heck have YOU contributed to society but ill will and ignorance?
