Bill O’Reilly And Marc Lamont Hill Explore: Is Occupy Wall Street Racist?

video
» 230 comments

As the Occupy Wall Street protests went global (and violent) over the weekend, the increasing number of people turning out piqued Bill O’Reilly‘s curiosity this weekend, as, to him, the people attending appeared no more diverse than those protesting for the Tea Party Movement, which faced a number of accusations of racism. Tonight, O’Reilly asked Prof. Marc Lamont Hill why the minority turnout was so low and how, if at all, the Tea Party exhibited any more racism than Occupy Wall Street. As always with the pair, the debate ended in fireworks.

O’Reilly introduced the segment noting that the crowds at the live-ins tended to be white, asking, “is this a racist deal, or what?” Hill quickly noted that he was not in the camp that believed the protesters to be racist, suggesting that the numbers were mainly indicative of the theme of the settlement in private property in Lower Manhattan. “I don’t see black people at mass protests in general,” he argued, suggesting the black community had to expend a great deal more effort in fighting for civil rights, leaving much less time for standing up for other issues not exclusive to their community. The difference between Occupy Wall Street and the Tea Party, however, was to Hill the fact that the former did not have “pictures of monkeys” as the President, and that racists did not seem to align as quickly with their ideas.

“I’m not calling the Tea Party racist,” Hill replied, but instead said that “people who are racist identify with the Tea Party movement.” O’Reilly protested that it was too broad a brush with which to paint the movement, arguing, ultimately, that the two movements were “exactly the same” in that they opposed “excesses of power”– one by the government, and one by Wall Street and the banking world. Hill persisted, however, that “the ideology is stained by racism ostensibly on the right,” which then led the two to argue the merits of the Republican Party’s actions in the Civil War, and how applicable they are to the Republican Party of today.

Ultimately, O’Reilly refused to “see racism in either one,” with Hill coming to the exact opposite conclusion– not that both were racist, but that racial fringe elements could exist in both. O’Reilly got a second shot and debating the alleged bigotry of the Wall Street squatters in just a few segments.

    I literally almost threw something through the tv during this segment.  Luckily someone called to distract me.  Hill claims racists have a home in the TP, but there is NO evidence there are more racists in the TP than in the Dem party.  In fact, I submit the OWS and the rise of Herman Cain have shown us there are WAY more racists on the left than the right.  Congrats liberals on rendering the term racist meaningless!

    There goes BillO’ the clown spouting the same old debunked garbage having to go back to the 1800′s to prove republicans TODAY aren’t racist.

     ”Presentism, when you invoke the past in a way that completely contradicts the way a word is used today”

    Dr. Hill is 100% right when he says it is dishonest to suggest that the republican party of 2011 is the same republican party of 1811.

    BillO’ please have Dr. Hill on again, it’s fun to see him clean your clock and wipe the floor with your dumb ass.

    The Teabagger movement was built on a culture of racism that
    was championed by the likes of J. Edgar Hoover in the sixties.  All Teabaggers have been
    systematically trained to associate black leaders with socialism and
    communism, as you know.  Here’s how that started:

    In the 1960s, the FBI and other racist organizations campaigned aggressively to cause
    racist simpletons to believe that the goal of black leaders was to take
    the wealth of the white people and hand it to the black people.  J Edgar Hoover figured that if he could make the simpletons believe that Martin Luther King Jr. was
    a commie, then everybody would abandon him.

    This is EXACTLY what happened with the Teabaggers with respect to
    Obama.  The corporatist Teabagger leaders campaigned aggressively to
    cause the racist simpletons (the Teabaggers at large) to believe that Obama’s goal was
    to take the wealth of the white people and hand it to the black people.

    This is why the Teabaggers, as a group, so readily call Obama a socialist,
    communist, etc. even in face of Obama doing so much for the
    coporatocracy.

    For the Teabaggers, it’s all about racism.  But I think it’s important to note that many of them are to stupid to realize how they’ve been manipulated.

    And yes EVERYBODY on the planet knows that the tea party is a racist construction of the far right. How do we know? They got caught red handed with their little signage problem at the beginning of the movement and cons have been doing damage control since day one. Why else would a moderate non tea party approved candidate like Romney be the front runner? Most conservatives like Bill Kristol know the tea party yokels do more harm than good with their inane BS.

    I’m black and I belong to the Tea Party – don’t know what you DemoNcrats are talking about.  But I guess you have to rant & lie to try push people into voting for the DemoNcrats.  I been to many tea party gatherings in my
    area and I’ve never had an experience where people where being racist.  Heck, I want Obama gone – I don’t like his policies.  As for him being black, his mother is Caucasian and is father is a Kenyan – that really doesn’t make him black.  Blacks are the descendants of slaves of which he is not – he knows nothing of the civil rights struggle – he lived in Indonesia and Hawaii and really didn’t associate with many blacks.Just because a person has dark skin and kinky hair does not always make them black, no more than an Asian or Hispanic being white because of their skin color and hair texture.   The problem with Obama is not his ethnicity – people just don’t like the stuff he shoveling.  You got to be a real dummy to not see and feel the decline the country is in since he’s been in office.  It will be very depressing if Obama gets another 4 years.

    As a black person I keep shaking my head at how these political ideologies call each other racist over and over. Its like they try to be in a tug of war for black support. O’reilly knew what he was doing when he made this topic. This is all just another way for him to criticize the media for double standards in the coverage of the more fringe and divisive protesters. Yes the media likes to give more attention to the fringe, because the fringe just are more interesting than a bunch of people who make alot of sense. Thats why MSNBC focuses on the racists signs in the tea party protests, and FOX news focuses on the hippies and anarchists. Both sides are guilty of this, and it just shows that unless you are actually at these protests, you will never get a true sense of what is going on. Every side is always gonna push the narrative that they want.

    Right on, Helen. 

    But as I have often said, it’s Obama’s COLOR that actually makes me ill. He’s RED!

    We are all in this boat together. We MUST choose a president who will defend individual liberty and a true freemarket system. 

    I have been a very loyal Sarah Palin supporter, but as of right now, I’m in Herman Cain’s corner. Herman Cain understands the critical importance of a true freemarket economy and its ability to lift people out of poverty. 

    What so few people understand is that TRUE capitalism has never been allowed to operate with free rein. What we have is crony capitalism, and it’s killing us.

    The man is frankly dangerous;  his idea of demonizing the wealthy top earners who pay most of the taxes have incited these demonstrations which could turn very violent.  Obama has succeeded not only dividing the country along racial lines but now as well as class lines.  

    What the he11 is he doing to the country?  He had pitted groups against each other.  In reality the disgruntled people should be demonstrating against him and his failed policies that have hindered economic growth and created job losses.

    Occupy Wall Street is a frenzied Progressive (Marxist/Socialist) act of desperation; a futile effort to counter the The Tea Party movement.

    These RIMMERS’ cries are akin to the howls of straitjacketed malevolence escaping from padded rooms within the walls of lunatic asylums. 

    OWS will explode in President Marxist Cockroach’s face and Conservatives will take control of the Presidency, the Senate and the House. 

    Socialism is an oozing pustule of parasitic maggotry; an insatiable mutant vampire voraciously trying to suck the lifeblood out of liberty. 

    The 2010 elections cleaned the clocks of Progressives and left them gasping for oxygen. The Tea Party is now much better organized and much more powerful. When the 2012 elections arrive, reality will descend on the Progressive Democrat Party like a locomotive from hell. 

    The dye is cast.

    Anyone catch where Hill completely dismantled Bill’s argument that the GOP (he actually called them “conservatives”) were responsible for freeing the slaves? Bill thinks the GOP of today is the same ideology as the GOP of the 1860s. He doesn’t realize that during Reconstruction, blacks overwhelmingly voted for the GOP who were the liberals of the day. The Democratic Party was the conservative party of the time.

    I respected the first half of your point Helen, but once you started talking about Obama’s race, thats where you lost me. You cant deny the man’s race just because you dont like the guy. I can understand not liking Obama and everything. Im not much of a fan of him lately either, but I cant agree with what you said about his race. Saying hes not black cuz he isnt a descendant of slaves is incredibly stupid. There are black people all over the world who arent descendants of slaves. He’s got a kenyan father and white mother, which makes him black. He wouldn’t have been allowed to eat and drink with whites during Jim Crow. He would have been a slave in the 1800′s. No matter what you think about the dude politically, he’s black. So dont deny the historic nature of his presidency. Criticize him for his policies, but dont try to get him on the race issue. You just sound ignorant.

    Insert strangely hued dude with the funny name in the White House and now…PRESTO: TEA PARTY!!!! to TAKE BACK America from…? Uhm…Who, exactly…You mean the majority of people that voted for Barak Obama to be President of the United States of America?

    So…Let me get this straight…We lawfully vote someone to be president and along comes this other group–presumably a minority with respect to the overall voting population, right?–that wants to ‘take back our country’ from lawfully elected individuals. Hmmm…

    The time for ‘taking back’ is elections, honey. And your racism was for convenience sake: anything you could use to undermine his policies.

    Critique and questioning are the methods by which things improve. We get better by thinking about other ideas and approaches.Philosophers and critics like Marx are quite useful if you want to evaluate the successes and failures of ideas. If you think you are always right–or are afraid to find out–you bury your head in the sand and cast aspersions on thinking in general, and thinkers like Marx in particular.

    We live in a selfish and greedy culture that disdains such questioning. If you question yourself–your motives, intentions, talents, etc–you may not get much done in this world.

    And in America ‘doing things, REAL things’ is what guides many in this country, despite being founded by an impressive array of elites and intellectuals.

    We have devolved into a nation of self-serving and greedy non-thinkers who are threatened by challenge and debate.

    Love of wisdom and love of knowledge?

    Now, you might want to look up Lloyd Marcus, he’s been to many high profile tea party events as have other black tea party leaders that are respected by the movement for the outstanding people they are.

    Herman Cain: A Grave Dilemma for Democrats and White Liberals

    The ever-prominent presidential candidacy of Herman Cain raises a plethora of interesting questions, not least of which is how he will be treated by the Democratic Party, white liberals and the mainstream media.

    As an African-American Republican, Cain has already been castigated as a kind of “freak” or, at worst, a “traitor” by some of his opponents. However, most of these aspersions have been hurled by prominent blacks, including Princeton Professor Cornell West and entertainer Harry Belafonte.
    ————————————————

    Actually, there’s no question about how Herman Cain will be treated by the Socialist parasite slavemasters of the Progressive plantation because these hairy-livered lemon suckers’ mouths are already yapping the sewage-originated racist talking points. 

    You can take a Progressive out of the sewer, but you can’t take the sewer out of a Progressive. 

    Herman Cain has already been called an Oreo, a traitor, Uncle Tom. – and a whole lot more.

    This is Progressivism out of ammunition. 

    God decided to create the perfect brainless invertebrate. First he created jellyfish. That was practice. Then he created Obama Progressives and perfection was achieved.

    “Than there were some Democrats saying that McCain should not qualify because he was born in Panama…where they RACISTS?”

    Ad hominem attacks and not an answer to any of my questions. That proves you cannot answer my questions. Saying Obama seeked out Communist and Marxist teachers comes from HIS OWN WORDS in his autobiography.

    Ad hominem attacks Is that all you have?

    You never explained why Obama hung around Communists and even seeked them out.

    So explain that?

    Also every Communist and Marxist government has not worked or is WORSE than any other country when it comes to freedom of speech, freedom of the press and freedom of expression.

    The majority of Communist countries have COLLAPSED and China has moved to more of a laissez faire Capitalist business system, yet the military is Communist. They practice the WORST type of Capitalism.

    Thinking requires listening to other ideas and Marx is a great critic of capitalism. America will only get better by constantly evaluating the successes and failures of this project.

    Think about the business world: effective managers are always on the lookout for new ideas to make their business better. Nobody worth a damn walks around their business with their head in the sand saying “everything’s great here. we don’t have any problems!” Those are the words of a fool, darling.

    Obama has intellectual inclinations; that’s nothing to be ashamed of…but here in America we’re afraid to think.

    Sorry but to compare the two does not make too much sense to me.

    The Tea Party movement was a noble grass-root movement at the beginning, but as soon as they were bought by the GOP fringe they derailed, started spewing the most insane things, got focused on frivolous details such as Obama’s birth certificate… while at the same time the ordinary people were losing their jobs, the purchasing power continued dropping and millions of people found themselves straddling the poverty line, the record number of people without health care insurance… Clearly the TP got decoupled from  people and served the GOP fringe.

    OWS instead is not bought by anyone (yet!) They did not even formulate clearly their goals — which is very good IMO. They merely express their discontentment and I think they’re perfectly right to do so. It suffices to see the last piece in the puzzle presented in the book by Ellen Schultz “Retirement Heist” (see The Daily Show) to realize the size of this theft of the century that’s still going on. To be there peacefully protesting is a noble thing to do IMO.

    I like Hill, he’s VERY far left but he’s not angry-left like many liberal talking heads.  He prefers to have an intelligent debate and almost always does very well against O’Reilly.   I think last night they both were right, though I lean towards O’Reilly since just because racists might find something they agree with a movement on doesn’t mean that movement is racist.  I have no idea what Nazi’s liked, but lets say they liked Broadway shows or baseball or something else identified as American.  Just because Nazi’s liked it or agreed with its rules and traditions or whatever doesn’t mean Broadway theaters/shows or baseball teams were Nazi’s.    That said, Hill was right too that there may be ‘some’ common ground.  Its coincidental though and to imply one or the other movement is racist is just wrong.

The amount of twisting he has to do to try to weasel the argument into reality are simply amusing. And then after his stumbling mental gymnastics to try to tie racism to the Tea Party, at the end of the segment he says that he thinks there are racists in both movements!

    What thefuck is this guy saying? It’s sad that he’s so utterly stubborn on this issue that he can’t admit that he’s just plain wrong on this one. He’s made his decision and he’s going to justify it no matter how much he has to hammer on the square peg to get it to fit into the round hole.

    No, it will just morph into Obama 2012 next year. Which is what it is this year under a different name.

    Living in denial by stating facts. Yeah, okay. How’s that delusional world you live in working out?

    Obama job approval is still awful. Gallup: http://www.gallup.com/poll/113980/Gallup-Daily-Obama-Job-Approval.aspx and Rasmussen: http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/obama_administration/obama_approval_index_history both of which have been taking into account the whiny brats on Wall Street this whole time.

    First of all whenevrer this so called professor is on fox, i fast forward it cuz hes a racist. And oh btw, these idiots are racists, cuz last time i checked being anti jewish is racist and these idiots on t.v. are so anti semitic but the lame streme media, including this site fail to show it. Next this idiot is gonna tell me Al sharpton and Jessie Jackson arent racists either, but hell tell me a tea party memeber is. what idiots you have to be to be a liberal.

    Oh Tim – another Strawman argument.  What was the nationality of both of McCain’s parents?  American, right?

    Not going to start a ‘Birther’ discussion here but your counter is just ridiculous.  John McCain was born to two American citizens, one of which was a US Serviceman, in a place that was at the time a military installation of the US Navy. 

    Absolutely no similarity and the thing that bothers me the most, is YOU know this, so why even offer it as a point of discussion?

    Lamount’s father, Fred Sanford, must be very proud of his son.  Seriously…everything anti obama is racists, Obama supports the the filthy in NY.  Any questions?

    How does the name of a Hospital show up on a photo copy of an original birth certificate, that didn’t exist for another 17-years?! That doesn’t interest you?

  • MikeInOKC

    Disprove what I said. Slave owners were CONSERVATIVES. It is amazing how ignorant you cons are. Note how O’REILLY did not respond after he got his ass handed to him with that fallacious argument. Ever heard of the “great betrayal” and what happened during Pres. Rutherford’s election? Idiot.

    Were they criticizing Zionists or Jews? There’s a HUGE difference between not liking Jews and not liking Zionists.

    Trained to see Obimbo as a commie? I believe you meant socialist, didn’t you? And no, we are not trained, we simply come to that conclusion base on what we see, and hear from the Obimbo administration. It’s simple reasoning and deduction. You should give it a try. Free yourself from the dogmatic Liberal rhetoric. The result will be like having a giant ideological-enema cleaning your mind and riding itself of all that Liberal crap you’ve been spoon fed by this entitlement based government, and you will once again feel like a responsible adult.

    Super. Tell me what you saw that caused you to conclude that Barack Obama is a socialist. Give me an example or two. I look forward to your response.

    Is it retarded to expect Constitutional requirement be met? Are those that examined Obimbo’s supposed birth-certificate and found glaring discrepancies, crackpots? Or, is attacking these people because they dare to expect a candidate be what they say they are, your way of deflecting the rights of legal American citizens? Which is it, lawful-vetting of a candidate, or personal attacks designed to belittle, and demonize?

    Derogatory remarks abound, along with name-calling shows the lowest of human capabilities! Bill O’Reilly seems is the real racist or at the very least inciting racial overtones to spark racial divides! O’Reilly  is so much like the cultish Troubling Egotistical Ambivalent (TEA) party which were willing to take down the US debt even at their own expense! The ”Occupy Wall Street”(OWS) movement has no real leaders and is a hodge-podge of different protesters venting on issues of middle America! This current 112th Congress has done absolutely nothing to help this economy, generate jobs for American people and for sure the first black president! Any one not believing this has his head stuffed into the FOX-hole! First they were ignored, then arrested for wearing masks, then photographed and videoed, then they were maced and treated with police brutality! Persecuted, maligned and given no real air time until unions gave them some credit ability as they closed down the Brooklyn bridge! After the New York Times edited their news story they got some notoriety when Ben Bernanke, unions and others lent their voice to their support! With Democratic and Labor unions showing support the OWS protesters got real air time, but when Cain, Romney and Palin voiced their concerns in tune with ‘Ol Brush Himoff, they got “Real air time”! When conservatives and ‘Ol peter King gave them lip time they received newer recognition for their steadfast protesting! Ramussen gave the “OWS” air time and they were on their way, finally as the FOX-hole belched up Rivera!

    Africa for the Africans,Asia for the Asians,white countries for EVERYBODY!

    Everybody says there is this RACE problem. Everybody says this RACE problem will be solved when the third world pours into EVERY white country and ONLY into white countries.

    The Netherlands and Belgium are just as crowded as Japan or Taiwan, but nobody says Japan or Taiwan will solve this RACE problem by bringing in millions of third worlders and quote assimilating unquote with them.

    Everybody says the final solution to this RACE problem is for EVERY white country and ONLY white countries to “assimilate,” i.e., intermarry, with all those non-whites.

    What if I said there was this RACE problem and this RACE problem would be solved only if hundreds of millions of non-blacks were brought into EVERY black country and ONLY into black countries?

    How long would it take anyone to realize I’m not talking about a RACE problem. I am talking about the final solution to the BLACK problem?

    And how long would it take any sane black man to notice this and what kind of psycho black man wouldn’t object to this?

    But if I tell that obvious truth about the ongoing program of genocide against my race, the white race, Liberals and respectable conservatives alike say I am a naziwhowantstokillsixmillionjews.

    They say they are anti-racist. What they are is anti-white.

    Anti-racist is a code word for anti-white.Type your comment here.

    The abolitionists which formed the Republican party were far-right classical liberals.

    And I don’t know why you bring up the Compromise of 1877 since it only further proves my point. Thanks, though!

    I agree and disagree. Comparing them is being done primarily by the media and democrats(i again repeat myself), in that they are comparing it favouarably to the Tea party “grass roots energy/populist frustration” etc. However, they ARE NOT comparing their levels of proven fringe,truly nutty and discredited 100 year (or more) bad ideas. The hard truth, and one the media and others have a hard time honestly reporting is this: The Tea Parties obviously have their racists/idiots etc. However, in their core message ideology and behaviour, the Tea Party was immaculate compared to OWS crowd. Their were zero arrests(or almost) in 2 years of demos, they espoused incredibly main stream values (if harshly sometimes) of Limited govt/respect for the constitution and no collusion between Govt and Business (the one arae OWS and the TP agree on, although with opposite conclusions)

    Lastly, these “occupiers” have not put anywhere close to numbers on the street s as the Tea Party did, because normal people can’t afford to take indefinite time off of….. life to live in a park and not shower often.

    Per US law: He was born on a US Military base, which makes him a US Citizen because.the land the base is on is classified as a US sovernity. That’s why kids born on foreign bases to a US citizen military parent are US citizens.
