Liberals went crazy the other day, when O'Reilly was attending a dinner with Al Sharpton at a largely black restaurant. During his remarks, O'Reilly said that, while the media promotes the image of rappers as the dominant black culture, the event was basically the same as events he attended with white audiences. He was of course making the point that the differences between white and black culture is not, or should not, be as drastic as suggested by rappers and other racists.
Then John Edwards, pandering shamelessly to the very division between white and black O'Reilly was trying to minimize, said that one day all the young black men in America would be dead or in prison. Apparently, the only way to stop this tragedy is to... elect John Edwards as President.
What we have seen in the last week is a conservative (independent, he says) trying awkwardly but earnestly to bridge racial divisions, and a radical (Democrat, he says) blatantly manipulating racial tension. Who's racist?
