O'Reilly: Black People Just Don't Understand

I'll give ABC some real credit for this headline of their new story on the firestorm in response to Bill O'Reilly's latest racist outburst: "O'Reilly: Blacks Suprisingly Civilized."

I usually don't go in much for working the O'Reilly front. But in this case the comedic value of this racist dork is just too much to pass up.

O'Reilly says that only people looking to be offended could have been offended by his comments.

"If you listened to the full hour, it was a criticism of racism on the part of white Americans who are ignorant of the fact that there is no difference between white and black anymore," O'Reilly told the AP. In other words, I guess, it was criticism of people like Bill O'Reilly, which is sort of broad-minded of him.

It's also good of him to note that blacks aren't any different from whites like he apparently thinks they were before the 1990s or something.
