RACISM AT A TOWN HALL...

Bill O'Reilly was so much in denial, vehemently defending a man who assaulted an African-American woman at a Town Hall meeting in Hillsboro, MO. He was in denial of racism, and said that the incident had nothing to do with race. The man got arrested for no good reason, he said; and he (O'Reilly) might have added that the police acted stupidly, though, he did not say that outwardly. He spoke until his face became so red, a lot of viewers thought he would faint on the set; but he managed to get his composure back later on.

The debate that ensued during his program was with Marc Lamont Hill, PhD. of Columbia University, who was a regular contributor on FOXNews.com; and he looked so sleek and debonair in a black striped suit, just as a black prince would look, when facing a disgruntled Caucasian, who would go to the pits of hell to protect a redneck, reactionary buffoon.

The man had assailed an African-American woman, accusing her of holding a "Rosa Parks" placard; however, that was on the surface. For the real reason being, that she was there to support the Obama Health Care reform, and therefore, she was a "persona-non-grata", in his view. That sparked a heated argument, because the woman was not going take it lying down. She was equally adamant in making her voice be heard; and so she did.

Racism was, and would continue to be a factor in American culture; there was no gainsaying of that. So, when a man like Bill O'Reilly was found to be on the side of a complete idiot, it was no surprise. The surprise, however, was that he (O'Reilly) was backing a person who had criminal intentions; first, toward the woman, per se; and second, for the fact that she had the complexion of an African Queen.

If people like O'Reilly would sit down and think, in terms of what racism was doing in America, or even worldwide, they would know that the outcome of it would be to nobody's betterment. It was a natural conflict; a two way street battle that must be fought, if bigots insisted that it should be so; but we should also remember that it would spare only a fool the slightest dint of satisfaction, if there should be any at all, in the long run.
