I Wonder What He Expected?
Bill O’Reilly on dining in Harlem
“I couldn’t get over the fact that there was no difference between Sylvia’s restaurant and any other restaurant in New York City. It was exactly the same, even though it’s run by blacks [and has a] primarily black patronship,” O’Reilly said. “There wasn’t one person in Sylvia’s who was screaming, ‘M-Fer, I want more iced tea!’”
“It was like going into an Italian restaurant in an all-white suburb in the sense of people [who] were sitting there, and they were ordering and having fun. And there wasn’t any kind of craziness at all,” he said.
“..even when it’s run by blacks” ?
That’s when you know the racism runs deep, when complete and utter normality is somehow surprising.
WTF did he expect anyway?
Whooee! Sounds like he was expectin’ craziness. Like maybe some jive-talkin’ pimps with big hats an’ some needle-scarred crack ho’s. There’d be a dice game in the corner an’ Leroy Brown’d pull a razor. Some talented junkie on piano playin’ Fats Waller songs. The menu would be variations on fried chicken and the dessert cart would have 7 kindsa watee-melon.
Either that or maybe he was expectin’ grass skirts, a conga line an’ a bubblin’ caldron of missionary stew.

Isn’t it wonderful how much progress Negroes have made over the years, to the point that they can actually do things like run a restaurant of their own?
I’m SO glad they got the vote. They certainly deserve it.
He did not f^cking say this, really. Holy shit.
Stop the world. I want to get off.
That kind of head-up-the-ass ignorance would be understandable only if he didn’t live in a metropolitan setting, surrounded by dozens of cultures other than his Wonderbread mediocrity. But the fact that he has gotten to the age he has without actually experiencing anything different from the insular society in which he hides — and touts — speaks volumes about the blinders he wears. And it’s his type that want to run the world for the “benefit” of thee and me…
…which reminds me; I need some target practise.
Sure he said it Arwen, and then claimed that the left (whoever they may be) and CNN were out to destroy him for saying anything about it.

The falafel-guy has now declared that there is no honest media in America anymore, and that he vows to take revenge personally on all of those who are criticising him and calling him racist. He actually said he would go to their homes to seek revenge.
Awk! Raise the drawbridge! Lower the portcullis! Fill the moat! Ev’body hide!
Geez. The guy must get all his information about the world from the teevee. And the channel is stuck on reruns of bad cop shows.
Perhaps he was surprised that there wasn’t more friendly conversation between the well-acquainted patrons?
Let’s see. The connection between O’Reilly’s comment (about a black-run restaurant in Harlem) and your year old post about your personal theory that black people like to talk to each other on busses is…what exactly? Other than the fact that you both apparently live in a social bubble constructed in the American midwest, circa 1930, and neither of you are ashamed to display your foolishness to a global audience?
If you’re gonna whore for traffic, please make it worth our while, wouldja?
