Wilmore Asks Twitter to Tell O’Reilly to ‘Go F*ck Himself’ for ‘Forehead Tattoos’ Comment
On last night’s episode of The Nightly Show, Larry Wilmore let Bill O’Reilly have it for his recent remarks about African-Americans.
The Fox host drew the ire of several prominent media figures when he said that many Black people are “ill-educated and have tattoos on their foreheads” during a discussion about jobs with Donald Trump. Wilmore clearly wasn’t amused either, seeing as his response amounted to shocked wonderment of “what the f*ck did you do?”
After pointing out that he must be one of the rare Black people who doesn’t have a forehead tattoo, Wilmore pulled out a sign with exactly what his tattoo would say if he had one. Since this totally needed to become a trendy social media movement as well, Wilmore touted #Foreheadsolidarity and gave out the call that “if you have a forehead, you, too can tell Bill O’Reilly to go f*ck himself.”
Of course, the Twitterverse obliged:
