Message to Bill O'Reilly (From a Black Freeper)
The O'Reilly Factor | 7/31/07 | Stanley Jackson

Posted on 07/31/2007 6:10:58 PM PDT by Stajack

Hi Bill,

I've been a subscriber to Free Republic for about two years. I've been involved in a lot of Freeper discussion groups and have led several threads, including one where I identified myself as a black Freeper, with no blatantly racial kickback. What the Freeper spokesman should have mentioned is that the discussion threads are SELF-POLICING...when someone gets out of line, my experience has been that somewhere down the thread, THEY WILL BE CALLED ON IT. Free Republic is first and foremost, a meeting place for conservatives. The discussions run overwhelmingly along ideological lines, that at times have racial subtexts. I have NEVER experienced blatant racism on the site. If I did I would challenge it, and so would others.

Did O’Reilly imply that Free Republic is racist?

No he did not imply any such thing. He pretty much came right out and said it.

Worse, in his self-centered mind...he implied that we do not adore him.

Bill O’Reilly insinuated FR is a hate site. He quoted several posts as evidence, but tellingly, none were shown on screen. At least one of them was shown to be a post from 2002, and was part of an article, not a comment from a Freeper. Very dishonest of him.

BOR is just an entertainer. He has no interest in the truth, it is about show biz. I am sure he had some of his producers join freerepublic when he decided to do this segment. The producers jobs were to engage freepers for Bill’s self gratification and to prove to the world that he is the almighty “fair and balanced individual” who will not spin anything. I am sure he got a bunch of banana’s from the left to tune in to his toon town show.

So, your logical message to him has no bearing on his entertainment factor.

Someone ought to tell BOR that it was Trueblackman who confronted Chrissy Matthews backstage after Ann Coulter got sandbagged by Silky Pony’s wife on Hardboiled.

True, I know most of us won’t tolerate racism; it runs against reason, decency, and the religious values nearly everyone here professes to.

How much you want to bet someone claiming to be from FR will send BOR an email spouting some really hateful stuff and he will read it on the air tomorrow and say “see what I mean, this is a right-wing hate site.”

That is one of the neat things about FReeperland. We don’t focus on the color of the skin or gender. We focus on conservative values. Some FReepers have their photos in their profiles but other than that you really have no idea what their ethnicity is.
Good post and I hope Bill gets the message.

Great Post Stajak!

Its rare that I know the race of anyone here. We discuss, we sometimes argue but the only thing I see white here is the screen and the only thing I see black here is the text.

Its so very rarely an issue.
