There is too much emnity toward whites in this country. Why do blacks celebrate themselves so much while harboring such anger.

“Young men of color’’? So then we can call them ‘’colored men’’?

-- Didn't O'Reilly challenge Obama to do something about young black men fathering children, but not staying around to raise and support their family during his Superbowl interview? --

That would have resulted in a "My son's keeper" program. Obama is all about "the brothers."
