You read on the BlackAmerica Web site ...

Interesting.

[annyokie]

I'm getting seriously concerned about Bill O'Reilly's opinions. Talk about minutiae.

[clintonh8r]

Bill can't let go of it, can he?

[TomGuy]

O'Reilly's obsessed with this prom.

Even after Neal Boortz cleaned his clock with the hubcap incident comment, O'Reilly won't turn this topic loose.

Even after the poll O'Reilly was running just happened to not turn out like he wanted, so he tossed out the results, O'Reilly won't let this go.

He spent 3 consecutive evenings rehashing.

Bill, let it go. You don't have all the facts and you're responses have been based on your being ill-informed.

[joesnuffy]

will this be on the all black tv channel...on soul train...or will Miss Black America attend?
will the grads get to go to Gramlin on a scholarship from the united negro college fund?

[ImpotentRage]

I haven't anything about the Black Only Proms that have been cropping up the past few years - high school and college. Too bad on BOTH sides.

[SauronOfMordor]

It's a private party, hosted and paid for by private individuals. If they just want to invite left-handed Lithuanians, then that is their right

[ErnBatavia]

"The My Spin Zone"...

[annyokie]

LOL! No kidding! What a pompous ass he has become!

[tuckrdout]

I am with O'Reilly on this one! What a disgrace to the south.

But, I have to say, that many of the school dances and proms in High School these days turn into urban rap events, that a lot of kids don't like. There needs to be a balance and schools are not doing enough to integrate black kids into other cultures. To help them to appreciate the culture of the other kids in their school.

The schools do everything they can to promote "black culture" and in the process many kids feel left out. I don't know, but I think this prom thing my be a reflection of those feelings.

How does O'Reilly feel about the Congressional Black Caucus?

[Porterville]

Bill trying to pander to the minority's especially blacks because his radio show is failing. I agree with him, but he is holding his own pagentry event, dressing his language up like a sixteen year old girl at a prom, "Look at me everyone, I'm Bill O'Reilly, I'm not racist, see I took on big, bad, high school students and told them, 'you're wrong, bad little high school students, bad'."

Bill O'Reilly is just an opportunist who (I'm sure) was counting on Rush retiring when he began loosing his hearing. For an ego maniac like Bill, it's not the left that is the bane of his existence, it is Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity.

[Just mythoughts]

Poor, poor, poor, Bill can't get no respect. The Governor snubbed him, what nerve.

Bill has never said who complained to him about this prom party, yet there are laws on the books that gives extra credit to one if their skin color is not white.

Were all the white kids at the school invited?

Oh Bill keeps pushing this and he has no idea what kind of can of worms he is opening up. One could say there are toooooooooooo many whites faces on the tube and demand a few get removed. How would old Bill like to be told he can't be on tv any more cause tooooooo many white faces?

What is the Boortz hubcap incident?

[TomGuy]

'Reilly

[B Knotts]

Boortz pointed out that O'Hubcap is only harping on this to deflect from his own racial insensitivity. He (O'Reilly) recently made a personal appearance in Florida with a primarily black youth group. When some of the youths were late arriving, O'Reilly joked that he hoped they weren't "out in the parking lot stealing my hubcaps."

[doc30]

What really bothers me about this is that O'Rielly is racist. He holds whites to one standard and blacks to a lower one. Blacks can have as many black-only events they want and he raises no objection, but if whites do it, a cardinal sin has been committed. Personally, both are reprehensible, but this country still has freedom of association.

[Yeti]

Guess what? None of them would talk to us

Gee, Bill, I wonder why....

They must've had the mistaken impression you were there to do a smear piece on them or something.
