O’Reilly has been beating this dead horse for years.
Apparently, he doesn’t believe it’s dead enough yet.

A racist using another subject is still a racist.
Bill O-Reilly has become a millionaire by saying on TV things you’re embarrassed to hear from your half-senile, still-angry, unreconstructed-racist grandpa.
Well, I’m not sure but I think it might be the same reason that white people aren’t more like Asian-Americans.
Oh, SNAP!
What’s Bill-O gonna come up with next? Whitening sheets like the strips for your teeth?
It’s not that hard to fathom…the white majority are far more tolerant of the nearly-white Asians than they are of darker colored people. This is evidenced by a recent study in which white men, by far, found Asian women to be the most attractive women of all races. Anecdotally, many, many, more white parents would object to their child dating a black person than they would to them dating an Asian.
This inherent dislike and fear of dark people among light-skinned races is rampant and gets reflected in the attitudes towards dark-skinned races. Those attitudes result in less fairness and opportunity across the board (education, employment, housing, law enforcement, legal system, etc) for dark-skinned people.
The Levittown that O’Reilly grew up in as well as a good part of LI would not let Jackie Robinson, Willie Mays or Motown artists live there due to restrictive covenants and redlining. Mays, Robinson as well as Armstrong stayed for better or worse in Queens in middle class neighborhoods such as North Corona and St.Albans. Yet O’Reilly and his neighbors benefited mightily from VA and FHA mortgages and Robert Moses’ infrastructure. All while Bill-O’s dad grumbled about “those people” while severely disciplining him.
a “unique” obstacle
ClaraBill the Clown just can’t hep himself, like when he wears those cheap rayon gym shorts sockless in dress shoes.
The nouns change but the verbs stay pitifully the same…
He was also very impressed with Asian Americans when he went to a Chinese restaurant for a meal and they didn’t yell “M********r, bring me some more iced tea.” Obviously he hasn’t heard about San Francisco’s very own Shrimp Boy Chow who’s been arrested for gun running, murder for hire, extortion, racketeering, with most of these endeavors run out of Chinatown. These can be easily Googled.
Just another example of how much money is to be made by playing to the fears, hatreds, and prejudices of conservative-minded people.
White panic tried to form this question the other way with Executive Order 9066
I wonder if several centuries of systematic destruction of families had any lasting effect on the black population?
Hell Bill, why stop short? Why not just say what you and your entire audience is thinking: Why can’t they just know their place and be happy with that??
Why can’t people on Fox News be more like people who live in the real world?
Exactly! 400 years of being owned like cattle, abused, murdered, raped, etc at will and with absolute impunity gave way to another 100 years of of a slightly less abuse where blacks were at least allowed to live in our own homes. We have only been free for 50 years. Give us some time to catch up and for some of the old guard who participated in the abuse to die off.
Why isn’t Michael Brown willing to accept responsibility for his own part in his unarmed shooting? Oh yea, he’s dead.

Citing the intactness of Asian American families and the “emphasis” placed on education, O’Reilly suggested that these things aren’t emphasized in African American culture, which is why they aren’t as successful.
Bill should make a trip to China and ask the 600+ million peasants living in abject poverty without education why don’t they just be more like Americans?
