Don't you just love when racists are claiming that they "love blacks".In an explosive Fox News rant, Bill O’Reilly argued that only anti-Americans believe the U.S. is suffering from epidemic racism — but he refused to say if he has any black friends.
The conservative pundit sounded off on race and racism in a Tuesday night shouting match with Fox News analyst Kirsten Powers on “The O’Reilly Factor.”
“I don’t think it’s an epidemic of racism. I don’t think it’s ingrained in this society,” the hot-headed host yelled. “The world is being told by anti-American haters that we are a rank, racist society, and that is a lie.”
O’Reilly argued that every country has elements of racism — but it’s not rampant in the U.S.
When Powers, a liberal columnist, pointed out that America has a history of slavery, O’Reilly asked, “So, what?” and yelled, "You can’t have a perfect world!”
He then explained that the U.S. is “trying to overcome the legacy” through civil rights laws and government programs.
Powers maintained there are still plenty of racists living in America.
“How many black friends do you have, Bill?” she asked.
O’Reilly did not answer her question.
“Most Americans are not racist. They’re not!” the host screamed at his guest. “If you think most Americans are racist, I’m ashamed of you!”

Of course Bill you're not a Racist.
You don't look like KKK or talk "in Public" like they are... but guess what, under the cover of their hoods, they all look and talk exactly as you are.
