Bill O’Reilly outdoes Donald Trump with racist remark

Fox News host Bill O’Reilly went beyond the pale Monday, noting Donald Trump’s poor standing in the black community and then asking his guest how he would provide jobs for unqualified people who “have tattoos on their foreheads.”

O’Reilly made the stunningly — even for him — bigoted remark during “The O’Reilly Factor.” Trump defended his support among African-Americans and promised “to bring back jobs.”

But his campaign rhetoric riled O’Reilly.

“How are you going to get jobs for them? Many of them are ill-educated and have tattoos on their foreheads, and I hate to be generalized about it, but it’s true,” he said.

“If you look at all the educational statistics, how are you going to get jobs for people who aren’t qualified for jobs?”

Trump maintained the problem is that jobs have left the U.S.

“I got it,” O’Reilly said. “You say you can bring jobs back, but if the kid isn’t qualified to do the job . . . ?” the host huffed, after talking about the difficulties for poor children in Harlem without parental guidance.

Trump responded “we will get the skills” and stuck to his party line that the solution is to bring jobs back home.

How is stating that some people have "tattoos on their foreheads" being racist? Honestly! He has a point. He happened to be speaking about Blacks but I've seen whites with tattoos all over their bods as well and I wouldn't hire them either!!


Some people need to get a life!


JMHO

The implication that the people he is referencing are all ill educated and incapable of getting themselves employed.

Correct. There's nothing wrong in those remarks and I daresay only about 5% of the population are bothered by them.

I daresay you are talking out of your butt.

Also, you have a penchant for paedophilia so I'm not sure you are the foremost authority on what the public really thinks.

No. I reckon I'm being fairly accurate when I say that hardly anybody in America or the rest of the world will be bothered about Mr O'Reilly's comments.

This is just another case, so prevalent in this day and age, of Lefties seizing on a comment and screaming "RAAAACIIIIIIIIIIIST!", however innocent and non-offensive and non-racist said comment is.

Years ago, there were many jobs in factories for people without higher levels of education.


I remember being in a factory in Cleveland where they made (and still make) large industrial gears; the plant owners were two brothers who took over from their father. One had been a teacher, I believe, and he was actually teaching literacy classes to any employees who wanted. It was fascinating, and quite interesting to see the variety of employees they had.

I see nothing racist about that remark.

More Clingons.

I see nothing racist about that remark.

He's implying blacks are incapable of getting jobs or an education.

This Clingon is still sticky.

 

[mentalfloss]

Your nothing posts are clingons.

Try to grow a pair and actually jump into the conversation.

Would the question have been racist if the topic was out-of-work punk rockers?

The implication that the people he is referencing are all ill educated and incapable of getting themselves employed.

That is true of that subset of people (not necessarily black). There are a large number of poor kids who have sluffed off high school and/or dropped out, who have their pants around their knees, nose pierced and tattoos visible. And have an attitude. How are they employable?

 

[mentalfloss]

He's implying that it's their fault.

 

[Angstrom]

He's implying that it's their fault.

He didn't imply anything, your just making things up in your head, Because your addicted to progressive politically correct television.
