Oh my god, it is deja vu - O'Reilly racism thread on E08

http://community.thenest.com/cs/ks/forums/thread/3911455.aspx

This time, it's not lynching, but rather, whether calling a black man "boy" is racist.

Who wants to play?

  • Eh, don't you think it could be that he was using boy as in, "boy oh boy," or the like? I haven't heard it, only read the transcript, so I could be wrong.

  • I agree and a couple people over there raised that.  The clip isn't on Youtube yet, but someone over there watched it, and felt that (a) calling someone "boy" isn't an insult because she uses it all the time and (b) the guy deserved it because he was an idiot.

  • Dangit! I missed the first and the second OReilly racism threads?

  • I can't go over there any more. ?It brings out a side of me that I don't like. ?November cannot come soon enough.?
  • I'm still waiting for the clip to be posted on youtube, but I'm much less likely to give O'Reilly the benefit of the doubt after watching the clip of him calling Mr. T a "boy."
