On the May 29 edition of his nationally syndicated radio program, host Bill O'Reilly asserted that the proposed immigration reform bill is supported by "people who hate America, and they hate it because it's run primarily by white, Christian men. Let me repeat that. America is run primarily by white, Christian men, and there is a segment of our population who hates that, despises that power structure." He continued: "So they, under the guise of being compassionate, want to flood the country with foreign nationals, unlimited, unlimited, to change the complexion -- pardon the pun -- of America. Now, that's hatred, too."
I don't think it bodes well for those of us who are rather emphatically not white xian males that they now feel free to be so blunt.
More here.
Hecate, it doesn't bode well for O'Lielly's sanity, because despite your picture, this country isn't run by white males any more. It used to be - just as Dallas used to be run by a shadow government of white males called the Dallas Business Council. Not anymore and not for some time now. We are getting to elect an openly gay mayor, we have an openly lesbian Hispanic county sheriff and an African American District Attorney.
ReplyDeleteO'Lielly and Buchanan are antiquated wrecks howling in the wilderness. We have a lot of diversity in this country and that genie ain't going back in the bottle.
What a repulsive human being that man is.
