I have listened to the whole thing that Bill Oreilly said about the black community and I did not like how he was portrayed. I hardly ever agree with Bill but this time I did not see him being a racist person. I think that he deserves an apology. What do you think about what was said.

he's always biased himself, let him get a taste of his own venom (but yeah he's not a racist)

Yep. He tried to make an anti-racist observation to educate bigotted idiots, and some other biggotted idiots made it into something different.
I also get angry when there are two or three national "news" stories every day about any misspeak from President Bush. He has admitted he is not the most well-spoken person, but for pete's sake, none of those reporters ever stumbled on words?
We could all be a little less attacking of others. It's like the world is lying in wait for some famous person to slip up in the slightest, when it is stuff that happens to the masses every minute without anyone noticing.

He came across as an ignorant bonehead. Either he is racist or he thinks his listeners are racist because he seemed to express surprise that the patrons and employees of the restaurant in Harlem were all polite and well-behaved.

I don't think he's racist. But I do think he is ignorant. I understand his intention but the way he went about it was very crass. I don't think any apology is necessary. He set himself up for that one.

He asked for it. He is always skewing facts and making false implications about others. It seems he can't take his own medicine.
If you behave like a jackass, people are going to treat you like one.

I couldn't agree with you more. Bill O"Reilly is the only one who reports the news accurately and if he makes a mistake has the guts to admit and correct it. The reason the other networks and people from the extreme left wing don't like him is because he don't mind exposing them for what they really are. Keep up the good work Bill!!!!!!!

He is not racist, he is just opinionated.
