Bill O’Reilly had Donald Trump on to talk about the perception among African-American voters that Trump might be a bit of a racist. Quickly, the conversation itself got into some questionable racial territory. Ana Kasparian, John Iadarola (ThinkTank), and Jimmy Dore, hosts of The Young Turks, break it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
"It was a moment of such stunning racism from Bill O’Reilly that even those who are well-apprised of his racist history were stunned. Donald Trump was on “The O’Reilly Factor” Monday and made a promise to reduce unemployment for African-Americans.
“How are you going to get jobs for them?” O’Reilly retorted, suddenly offended because Trump - Donald Trump - is somehow failing to be racist enough. “Many of them are ill-educated and have tattoos on their foreheads, and I hate to be generalized about it - but it’s true. If you look at all the educational statistics, how are you going to give jobs to people who aren’t qualified for jobs?”
Tattoos on their foreheads? You have to give it to O’Reilly: Not only is he familiar with all the classic racist stereotypes, but he’s pretty good at making up entirely new ones. He seems to have forgotten that he and Trump were on TV and not in some wood-paneled Manhattan bar consuming their 5th order of expensive scotch, and some half-remembered incident where he saw a black person with a face tattoo (Lil Wayne, who is definitely not unemployed) came spilling out in a torrent of inchoate rage that involves assuming that this fashion choice is far more common than it actually is.”*
