O'Reilly Throws "PC" Caution to the Wind

I sometimes struggle with Bill O'Reilly. Not because I don't respect him as a historian and TV personality, but it seems like he, at times, really tries to give give the benefit of the doubt on many issues I feel so strongly he should not. I suppose that's how freedom of speech goes, and that is a good thing.

However, O'Reilly blew me out of the water last night when he decided to throw caution to the wind on the issue of "racism" telling off the African American elite and laying the groundwork in the simplest of terms on why blacks in America continue to struggle while their elite counterparts appear to flourish. 

Are there pockets of white racists in America. Of course there are, and shame on them. But, if you really dig deep and look at the facts and current statistics, it's clear that neither the Obama administration nor big talkers like Al Sharpton, Rev. Jesse Jackson or Louis Farrakhan are driven to actually solve the problem and improve life for the people they supposedly care about so much.

In fact, it seems almost like that these same supposed preachers of civil rights actually get off on exacerbating the "racist divide" for their own profit. For that matter, I've not heard any of these men or many of the elite African Americans contributing on Fox News and other major news cable networks talk about the real problems and dismal cultural statistics African Americans face in so many of America's inner cities and rural counties with the exception, of course, of Star Parker. 

In an ironic twist, I suppose we need to thank Mr. Bill O'Reilly for setting the racism record straight. It's clear Bill would like to see life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness improve for all Americans including African Americans. If you don't believe me, just watch as O'Reilly challenges President Obama and the Black Caucus to sincerely address the race problem once and for all perfectly defining the problem in a way that even the low information voter should understand.
