Bill O’Reilly To Marc Lamont Hill: ‘You Kind Of Look Like A Cocaine Dealer’
On tonight’s O’Reilly Factor, host Bill O’Reilly was talking about immigration reform with Marc Lamont Hill. While posing a hypothetical, O’Reilly said to his guest “Say you’re a cocaine dealer, and you kind of look like one a little bit,” to which Lamont Hill quipped “You know, you actually look like a cocaine user.” Cries of racial insensitivity ensue.
Gawker’s ever dependable Adrian Chen pounced on the charged faux pas:
Dang, O’Reilly, having black commentators is supposed to make you look less racist. Unless O’Reilly was talking about Hill’s spiffy pinstripe suit. Like, how could you afford such a nice suit unless you were selling drugs? That’s probably it.
Hmmm…that could be the case. More likely its an overstatement. But who wouldn’t love watching a smackdown between O’Reilly and Gawker ensue? (By the way, in that battle the smart money’s on Gawker.)
