Message to Bill O'Reilly (From a Black Freeper)

The O'Reilly Factor | 7/31/07 | Stanley Jackson

[Salvation]

You are to be commended Starjack.

I almost wrote to him about the Religion Forum and all the prayer threads that happen on FR.

I post the Daily Mass Readings, and I have never received any criticism from anyone for doing so. In fact, the thread is always very well respected by all who read it. (And that is a lot of non-Catholics, too!)

[Stajack]

One thing I think Bill doesn’t realize - there are SO many posts in the course of the day, it has to take awhile to moderate and clear out the trash.

Agreed. The only fool-proof way to guard against improper posts would be to pre-screen stuff, which would hurt the spontaneity of the site.

[Stajack]

When strongly held beliefs and strongly held convictions come together there are bound to be clashes. I’ve learned so much from all of you and had the best laughs I can remember. I think FreeRepublic is still the best place to come for good, intelligent (most of the time) discussions on the matters that concern us.

My sentiments exactly.

[Stajack]

Your problem is being in Lawton, Oklahoma.

We'll revisit this conversation after the OU-Texas game ;-)

[Doc91678]

No that is your opinion.
Yet, if you watched the show, you will see that the CEO of FreeRepublic showed up to discuss the issue. Yet, where was the DailyKos.
No opinion on that, eh?.
My only regret was that the CEO Freeper wasn’t able to express himself. Perhaps he should have been better prepared. But Kudos for his bravery in showing up.

[tennteacher]

Kudos. Presents FR as it is intended to be. God bless.

[eth3l]

Very well said!!

[xero]

Your a great man Stajack.

[Lancey Howard]

Good letter. BUMP!

[bannie]

Good man, Stanley.

FreeRepublic: A place where melanin levels don't matter.

Last time I checked, this Freeper and family aren’t exactly “white”. Certainly wouldn’t stay on or contribute to a hate site.

[Ironfocus]

If it wasn’t for the fact that Bill has many people watching his program, his accusations would not have even qualified for a response. You did the best thing, a dignified response.

[MHGinTN]

Well and truly stated! Thank you for speaking up for our FR home. We got your back, brother!

Also as a Black Freeper, I have attended many Freeper events both in DC and here in Texas. My experiences have been NOTHING but positive. I call many freepers friends and family, whatever color they are.

It's always good to hear from another conservative, and especially so, from another black conservative. Without even knowing you, I know what you go through, and I'll bet you can say the same.

[Marysecretary]

Look on the other post about BOR (not calling him a liar...yet was part of the title). One poster quotes the article in there.

[Marysecretary]

He more or less said we were a hate site like KOS but not as bad.

[Bonaparte]

"I believe your well written correspondence will have much greater, and more positive, effect..."

Absolutely. But not as much effect as a tidal wave of letters, calls and e's of outrage from "former" viewers, demanding a full public primetime apology from BOR -- with copies to Fox sponsors. Like any other business, FNC can't ignore the bottom line.
