Lots of gum flapping, and Bill is right, while everyone like Jackson, Sharpton, and Obama are bloviating, more black kids die or another generation of single parent households is created. Talking won't solve the problem, only distract from the problems that continue to erode the moral fabric of the nation.

Actually, Bill is not a news journalist, but a "Political Commentator" he's paid to offer his commentary.

You are right and I am wrong .

Still , i like facts and I believe that he's doing it

I listened to the commentary twice to make sure I had everything understood correctly. Although I often agree with the salient points O'Reilly makes in a commentary I do care for him personally as I find him a bit too abrasive. In interviews I can't stand him because he steamrollers. This time ... I agree with every single point he made and I believe Obama should listen to this particular commentary daily to help straighten his jaded ass out. Obama white washed the problems in his Trayvon Martin commentary blaming society and white negrophobia, refusing to put the onus where it belonged. O'Reilly bared them accurately.

Like many I normally do not watch Bill O'Reilly or the Fox network. Bill is spot on with this very well done piece.

I think O'Reilly like most whites have a outsiders view of the black ghetto. They like you are a product of the environment in which they raised. You can call them communities or neighborhoods, the truth is they are GHETTOs!! You can say they have equal opportunities to find jobs, YOU can say that!! The reason there drugs in their ghettos is they were targeted. Have you ever hear of major black manufacturing or importing drugs. They have law enforcement not law protection!! If you don't know the difference ask the Polish Jews about Warsaw. You can blame the family structure, the church. But they can't cure three hundred years of slavery and another two hundred of separate but equal?? By the way what the hell does that mean anyway????? I do agree that Hollywood exploited blacks in the movies, but you can't think that blacks profited from it. You can blame Detroit on the blacks because they were not able to flee. But I think maybe the automobile and manufacturing industries outsourcing to every third world nation may have caused some of the problem. If you remove all programs designed for kids in favor buying wmds to police the world, you get what you pay for. As far as Zimmerman is concerned he doesn't matter, Policeman kill more unarmed black men then he ever could..

Mostly poverty. There was a 20+ year study done in Philly just concluded that followed around 125 people from birth to young adulthood. There were originally around 250 in the original study. All these babies were born to mothers on cocaine and other heavy drugs. They assumed they would find that cocaine was responsible for intellectual problems, social problems, etc. What they found, however, was that there was no measurable difference in cognitive function between the coke babies and the non drug control group babies. Instead, they found that with both groups, it was poverty and all the awfulness that comes with it that made both groups fall below the nat'l ave. in IQ, and the other social measures. It also mentioned that a third of these kids, by the time they were 7 years old, had heard gunshots, had a home invasion, saw dead people and witnessed shootings. How does one think these kids could be in the least normal, as we measure it? But some did do well, in spite of all the horror. And that is why one should NEVER give up on people.

Unless we have actual experience living in the world of those we deem inferior, then we have no right to judge anyone. In fact, we have no right to judge, period. It's counter productive. The time one spends judging people and demeaning them, they could do things to help them elevate their humanness. Of course, if one believes in sin and retribution, then of course, 'those people deserve what they get because, well, they just aren't as good as I am'. Always remember, there but for an accident of birth go you.

Perhaps you could benefit from therapy for that severe case of white guilt you seem to be laboring under.

Bill is right on, as usual. You can tell that I'm a big fan of his, even though he can be a bit cocky at times. Correctness is a matter of fact though, not conceit! As for the cause of the problem? When you have almost half the citizens not paying any taxes and getting handouts from a gov't that is broke, then it's Detroit on a larger scale.

I guess thats one answer, to assume that i'm the one with a problem??????

Bmac Loc: Long Island, NY

And blacks kill more unarmed black men, women and children far more than anyone else does or has ever done. 8-)

beamer01 Loc: West Palm Beach

Is what you heard, so why worry if we help out RIGHT!!!!!

Bmac Loc: Long Island, NY

Sorry, but I don't understand your reply. 8-)

Croce Loc: Earth

Mmmm yes and blame everybody and everything but those like you, right? Why don't you try really beaming in on the problem, Beamer, instead of taking a non productive Victim/apologist stance? As long as blacks cleave to your excuses they will remain, uneducated, underemployed, non integrated, victims of only those such as yourself and the socalled, "Leaders" of the black community. Grow up and face the problems headon. Show me one (1) living person who suffered the bonds of slavery. It is time to take a look at yourself and do something about it other than bitch and hate and blame whitey. Even your black president who is so well accepted by whites sings this same stupid, loser song. My advice to you? Shutup, standup, face up and put up. If some blacks who choose to escape can become captains of some of the largest corporations in this country so can the rest elevate their situation. Racism is for all intents and purposes dead in all but the black community. Oh I forgot. Those captains of industry I mention are Uncle Toms aren't they?

I agree with Bill. Another issue I wish he would bring up is Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson LIKE it when a black person is killed by a white person. That's how they make their money. I bet when this Martin/Zimmerman case broke Sharpton and Jackson did a little dance while singing cha-ching. A few years from now Sharpton and Jackson will say Trayvon WHO? Another issue is that the black population is set back many years in the race issue when Sharpton and Jackson get involved and encourage riots. Who wants to deal with people that behave like that.
