Black people, they're just like us!

We don't know how we missed this. Apparently Bill O'Reilly had dinner with Al Sharpton recently at Sylvia's in Harlem and had a big aha! moment. Turns out black people are pretty much the same as white people! "I couldn't get over the fact that there was no difference between Sylvia's restaurant and any other restaurant in New York City," O'Reilly said on his September 19 show. "I mean, it was exactly the same, even though it's run by blacks, primarily black patronship." Perhaps most surprising, O'Reilly's meal of meat loaf, coconut shrimp, and iced tea was not once interrupted by spontaneous gang violence, singing, dancing, or jive-talk. "There wasn't one person in Sylvia's who was screaming, 'M-Fer, I want more iced tea,'" he marveled. "You know, I mean, everybody was � it was like going into an Italian restaurant in an all-white suburb in the sense of people were sitting there, and they were ordering and having fun. And there wasn't any kind of craziness at all." Yeaaaaaah. Sounds like the craziest person there was you, dude.

Heh.

i heard about this on the adam carrolla radio show, kinda funny yet sad.

If you see the police, WARN A BROTHER!!!

By DAVID BAUDER (AP) Fox News commentator Bill O'Reilly appears on the Fox News show, "The O'Reilly Factor," on Jan. 18,... Full Image Google sponsored links Bill O'Reilly - Free Book - Get your Free copy of the new hit "Culture Warrior" today! www.ConservativeBookClub.com Franken: Fair or Biased? - Take the PollingPoint Media Poll and rate Franken for fairness. www.PollingPoint.com NEW YORK (AP) - Fox News Channel's Bill O'Reilly said Wednesday his critics took remarks he made about a famed Harlem restaurant out of context and "fabricated a racial controversy where none exists." He criticized the liberal group Media Matters for America as "smear merchants" for publicizing statements he made on his radio show last week. O'Reilly told his radio audience that he dined with civil rights activist Al Sharpton at Sylvia's recently and "couldn't get over the fact that there was no difference" between the black-run restaurant and others in New York City. It was just like a suburban Italian restaurant, he said. "There wasn't any kind of craziness at all," he said. O'Reilly told The Associated Press that Media Matters had "cherry-picked" remarks out of a broader conversation about racial attitudes. He had told listeners that his grandmother - and many other white Americans - feared blacks because they didn't know any and were swayed by violent images in black culture. "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," he told the AP. "Circumstances may be different in their lives but we're all Americans. Anyone who would be offended by that conversation would have to be looking to be offended." His radio show was a conversation with Fox News contributor Juan Williams, author of a book about the coarseness of some black culture. Williams defended O'Reilly during a Tuesday appearance on "The O'Reilly Factor." "It's so frustrating," Williams said. "They want to shut you up. They want to shut up anybody who has an honest discussion about race." Sharpton, appearing on O'Reilly's TV program Wednesday, acknowledged that he found accounts of what O'Reilly said "disturbing and surprising," but added that he had not heard the radio broadcast. "You and I have gone to dinner before in Harlem, and I've never heard you say anything offensive," said Sharpton, speaking from Baton Rouge, La. "I'm going to listen to the tape and I'm going to give a judgment." The controversy was similar to one that enveloped presidential candidate Joe Biden last winter. When Biden praised rival Barack Obama as "articulate" and "clean," many saw this as a way of conveying those were unusual characteristics for blacks. Sylvia's manager Trenness Woods-Black told the New York Daily News that O'Reilly's remarks were "insulting" and showed he has little knowledge of the black community. At one point on the radio show, Williams mentioned that too many people see little else in black culture beyond profane rap. "That's right," O'Reilly said. "There wasn't one person in Sylvia's who was screaming, 'M.F.-er, I want more iced tea.'" Karl Frisch, spokesman for Media Matters, said it is typical for O'Reilly to criticize his group for merely reporting what he says. "We didn't call him a racist," Frisch said. "We said his comments were ignorant and racially charged, and we stand by that." O'Reilly said that the Williams conversation was carried on more than 400 radio stations and that there wasn't one complaint from a listener. "This isn't about a racially insensitive remark," he said. "Anybody can listen to the unedited version of the conversation on Billoreilly.com. You want to think I'm insensitive to race, you go right ahead." The real story, he said, was about the "corrupt media culture" in which outlets like CNN and MSNBC do stories about his remarks "because they're getting killed in the ratings." "The O'Reilly Factor" is seen by more people - 2.2 million average this year - than its direct competitors on MSNBC and CNN combined. MSNBC's "Countdown" with Keith Olbermann averages 721,000 viewers in the time slot while CNN's 8 p.m. show averages 611,000, according to Nielsen Media Research.

Not supporting O'Reilly, I don't like him as much as the next guy. But I do think the things he said were taking out of context.

I think this is covered in the statute declaring the sex of an ambiguous person. if the 'woman' looks anything like a man....it is a man.

Heh, according to Wikipedia, I'm not Hispanic. And I know for a fact that I'm not Asian. But what if a great grandparent of mine were black? Would I still white?

Can I be black if I'm white? If my family moved to Buenos Aires, and I cloned myself, would my clone be hispanic?

Triple weird

Black people, they're just like us! except they have bigger penises.
