I haven't had time to read all the replies, nor did I see that particular episode of O'Reilly, so I will not expound, but will relate my past personal experience.

There was a great deal of controversy as to the style of the music and the theme of the prom. The students then agreed to have two seperate proms, one that suited the tastes of most of the white kids, and one that suited the tastes of most of the black kids. Any student could attend either, or both.

There was no exclusion. No one's 'rights were violated', no one was 'offended'. All the kids had fun. There was no racial tension. And best of all, no one was to suffer the indignity of a 'hip-hop hoedown' theme that might have resulted had the PC crowd gotten wind of it and insisted on a single prom designed to celebrate our diversity. Then again, it was 1975!

This is my first reply, after months of lurking. Please be gentle!

I certainly hope that the fact O'R is a jackass does not come as news to you.

O'Reilly has lost it.

He keeps pretending that all questions to him are attempting to justify "bad behavior" by blacks (i.e. Black-only proms in the recent past).
He refuses to face the real question: where has his outrage been?
Pick on whitey? He will just roll over?

I'm beginning to approach the camp that believes O'reilly is just a pompous ass!

O'reilly should move on. I'd like to hear more about the MCI boycott.

Bill O'R is right - the governor should say that this type of stuff is terrible and that the kids and their families should be ashamed of themselves.

I saw some of this last night and it was O'Reilly at his worst. This should be a nonstory and in typical O'Reilly fashion he is spotlighting it and making a mountain out of a mole hill.

Gee Bill...what's next? Does every private party have to be integrated? I suppose you want all governors to regulate private parties and insure that they are PC.

Absolutely disgusting. I had to turn him off. I do that a lot. Kudlow and Cramer is much more interesting.

What was the anti-black comment O'reilly made recently?
