O’Reilly Amazed by Civility in Black Restaurant
Posted Sept. 25, 2007 – Before visiting a Black-owned restaurant in Harlem, Fox News anchor Bill O'Reilly apparently had a jacked up opinion about Black folks.
On his Sept. 19 radio show, told his listeners that he had recently gone out to dinner with the Rev. Al Sharpton and was shocked to find Black restaurants just like White ones.
"I couldn’t get over the fact that there was no difference between Sylvia’s restaurant and any other restaurant in New York City. I mean, it was exactly the same, even though it’s run by Blacks, primarily Black patronship."
“There wasn’t one person in Sylvia’s who was screaming, ‘M-Fer, I want more iced tea,’” O’Reilly said, adding, “You know, I mean, everybody was — it was like going into an Italian restaurant in an all-white suburb in the sense of people were sitting there, and they were ordering and having fun. And there wasn’t any kind of craziness at all.”
But the shock for Bill-0 didn't stop there.
He told listeners that he couldn't get over how clean and articulate we are, stating, "I think black Americans are starting to think more and more for themselves."
