Bill O\u2019Reilly instructs black people to hate Black Lives Matter.<\/h6>\n

\"0710OLiellyTrump\"Like the rest of the Fox News organization, Bill O\u2019Reilly insists that everyone must hate and fear Black Lives Matter immediately. He and other Fox Newsians spent a good deal of their post-Dallas airtime this week whipping up as much hysteria and anger as possible against a group that has a name and a message no sane person can argue with. But sane people do not sit at Fox roundtables, as an episode of \u201cOutnumbered<\/a>" clearly shows. Meanwhile, colleagues Megyn Kelly and racist ex-cop Mark Fuhrman took it upon themselves to lecture black people to stop exaggerating about problems with police. You got that, Philando Castile, Eric Garner and Alton Sterling?<\/p>\n

But O\u2019Reilly is just so sick and tired of black people not listening to him when he tells them what is good for them. Speaking to his guest, NAACP director Hilary Shelton on Friday, O\u2019Reilly said, \u201cSo, you know what I think? I think that if you really want, if African Americans really want to bring the country together and have good racial relations, they have to distance themselves from Black Lives Matter. Am I wrong?\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yeah, you\u2019re wrong, Shelton said, explaining that the Black Lives Matter marches are occurring for a very good reason. And lots of people understand that.<\/p>\n

But white people ha-a-a-te Black Lives Matter, O\u2019Reilly whined, mistaking the echo chamber in his head for reality once again. \u201cWhite Americans despise this crew. And if black Americans don’t understand that<\/strong>, we’re just going to grow further apart.\u201d<\/p>\n

Shelton carried on saying reasonable things that are in the spirit of bringing people together, among other things pointing out that people of all races join Black Lives Matter marches and believe in the movement and in justice for all Americans.<\/p>\n

All on deaf ears. O\u2019Reilly was just too busy breaking the douchebag-o-meter… [emphasis added<\/em>]<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Some White Americans do hate Black Lives Matter, but they are the same racists that watch Bill O’Lielly and go nuts for the presumptive Rectum of the Republican Party, Rump Dump Trump.  This is just the first of five listed awful Republican from last week alone.  Click through for the other four.<\/font><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
