Jesse Watters on white privilege: "I'm also tall, athletic, smart and rich - should I apologize for that too?"

Charming as ever, Bill O'Reilly's bloodhound Jesse Watters went to the University of Missouri to hector students about race, gender and sexuality.

Watters' stuck to his shtick, using "common sense" interpretations of phrases with specific meanings to prove that college campuses are no place for men-of-the-people. For example, he asked one woman if he was in her "safe space," and when she said he wasn't, he took a step closer to her and asked, "what about now?"

Deliberately confusing the concept of a "safe space" with "personal space" was one of the least offensive moments in the segment. He asked another student what "white male privilege" is, and when she couldn't answer, he volunteered that he's also "tall, athletic, smart, and rich - should I apologize for that too?"

Watters asked a student who identifies as bi-sexual whether she felt "marginalized," and when she replied that as a "queer woman," she did, he replied, "you can’t say that, that's offensive." Not that anyone should expect Watters to be familiar with queer theory or the concept of queering, but as someone ostensibly attempting to report to an audience guaranteed to know nothing about it, you would think he wouldn't be deliberately misleading.

Then again, he told the same student that "the Greatest Generation would call you...sissies," so it's not as if he's really attempting to inform anyone of anything.

Among other failings, Democrats have no sense of humor.

Libtards are really truly too stupid to know when they’re being openly mocked and ridiculed.

I loved the “safe space” bit. But this is actually where we are today. Putin is taking on the world’s enemies while Obama scurries to find a safe space. Having Kerry send James Taylor to Paris to croon “You’ve Got A Friend” is classic liberal can’t-deal-with-realityism.

look
let them jerk around on mom and dad’s nickel for 4+ years or whatever it takes to graduate these days....
but
the REAL WORLD WILL EAT THEM ALIVE ..... and spit them out...
these idiots have no economic worth and will find it difficult to earn a living...
unless they work for one of Soros’s agitation left wing groups....

Hate Bill O’Reilly but LOVE Jesse Watters

Kerry has the right idea for the French. You’ve got a friend. I would send every freedom loving French citizen some friends too: Smith & Wesson.

If your IQ exceeds 90 you should feel guilt.

The L community has apparently embraced the Q-word, much like some blacks have embraced the N-word. But, similarly, if Watters had used the Q-word in conversation with this woman, she would have undoubtedly been outraged.

When they were under Nazi occupation we dropped these into France by the thousands. Now that swaths of the country are under another foreign occupying force perhaps it's time to repeat the exercise.

Not the ones I deal with on my alumni forums, because I'm not very nuanced most of the time.

There's even a couple of Southerners who know the meaning of "bless your heart." lol

Scott Eric Kaufman is a moron of epic proportions. I watched Watter’s piece last night. It was hysterical and only one student even came close to answering any of his questions. And she had to state she was Queer, which Watter’s responded, “that’s inappropriate.”

It was funny.

He informed us that these college students are all kooks.

“Having Kerry send James Taylor to Paris to croon ‘You’ve Got A Friend’ is classic liberal can’t-deal-with-realityism.”

When I overheard a couple of people discussing that, I initially thought they were talking about a Saturday Night Live skit.

[Resolute Conservative]

I refuse to apologize for my WASP roots.

[Farmer Dean]

The French have some good friends that are closer to home;Heckler and Koch.

[Skeptical constituent]

Note that the useful idiot white students who were protesting were kicked out of the demonstration and marginalized by the black student protesters. They still don’t get it.

Interesting! Do you have additional information on the history of the weapon?

Look up the FP-45 Liberator. Single shot .45 caliber cheap and easy to mass produce sheet metal pistol intended for use by the anti-Nazi underground. Idea was to give them a small easily concealed gun. Kill a German soldier, say by walking up to one standing guard and ask for a light or to offer him your sister, shoot or have a friend walk up and shoot him in the head, and then steal his Mauser and ammunition. They actually didn’t see much use, probably in part because the Nazi’s tended to do mass reprisals, unsparing of even women and children, whenever one of their men ended up dead. But it was one of many programs intended to disrupt the occupation and help the Resistance gain real arms prior to D-Day.

Thank you and I did look it up. It was interesting to learn that the FP designation was intended to mislead someone regarding its function. Thanks again.
