So in which one of these four links does O'Reilly say that blacks are parasites who don't belong? Link me up please. When have either Limbaugh or Hannity said that blacks are parasites who don't belong? Back up your claims.

he says that all the time, all of fox news does, like he said the right wing went from saying nigger nigger nigger, to complaining about welfare queens but the message is still the same, for example they will say everyone welfare is a parasite then theylll talk about black people on welfare, but they wont just scream nigger nigger nigger or directly say black people are parasites, if thats what your asking

what i was saying is they might say white people are a superior race, just like founding fathers did. but they don't say anglo saxons or swedes or portuguese are somekind of master race

No, I don't want to see your point to somebody else;

You asked for evidence, and the evidence was given earlier in the post. If you don't want to go literally to the top of the post (where I directed you) and look at the text that was written, you can't say that I'm not substantiating my claim. Unless I read the rules very badly on this forum, I'm under no obligation to re-post material twice in a post just so you can have it personally delivered to you.

I want you to support what I think is a scurrilous claim, that these three commentators' message is that blacks are "non-whites are parasites that don't belong."

I took your advice and Googled "O'Reilly on blacks." Results #s 1-4:

1."Bill O'Reilly Lectures The Black Community, Again"-YouTube

2. Bill O'Reilly Goes Off On Blacks in Baltimore"- YouTube

3. "Bill O'Reilly Declares Himself Black American's Greatest Champion, Scolds #BlackLivesMatter for 'Gestapo' tactics"

4. "Bill O'Reilly: African-Americans Should Wear 'Don't Get Pregnant At 14' On Their T-Shirts"-Media Matters

Yes, I'm sure if they tell you that they are "black America's biggest supporters," we should believe every word of it. Because that sounds like a credible claim.

erhaps you should have spent a further thirty seconds.

Here's a pretty good one:

"So the Democrat Party enslaves minorities, enslaves the poor. The Democrat Party exploits the lazy. And it's not just minorities, anybody who's too lazy or too afraid to look out for themselves. The Democrat Party is waiting to glom onto them and basically turn them into parasites." --Limbaugh​

There he's literally calling minorities "parasites." Remember how I said that there were official discussions amongst the Republican party on how you had to say racist **** in coded language and specifically couched in economics? Yeah. But I'm sure the nature of this diatribe is just coincidence. Or you can see it for what it actually is.

For O'Reilly, his entire shtick on "black crime" is obviously designed to equate "black life == crime" (That's a really old trope going back to after the Civil War when the South criminalized blacks to they could be forced to work in prison chain gangs --the new slavery that lasted until the late 1930's), and not that he literally never discusses this from the side of "white crime" or any facts about that. It's "black crime," we talk about "black crime" and "black culture causing crime." (So for instance, Bill O'Rielly loves to go on and on about how it's "black culture" that's harming children "of all colors.")


If you don't want to acknowledge that this covert racism (I'm not even saying these men are personally racist, only that they don't mind saying coded racist messages for the attention and because their superiors want them to), and instead one can pretend like this isn't designed to associate that "Black people are the problem, but don't make it overt" in their listeners minds, then that's your choice. I am not fooled for second, however, and I don't feel the need to pretend like any of these people are being anything but disingenuous, race-baiting buffoons. If you disagree, fine. But unless you want me to dig up one hundred other quotes by these men where, in the context of economics, we discuss how minorities (or "welfare queens") are living large off of the backs of the "working American" --which I have little interest in doing-- then the case that I've given is what the case is.
 
My post isn't showing up. Is the forum glitching? (Mods -- Please delete this post if it does show up later. It might just be a server problem.)
 
I don't know, but he seems cool in Assassin's Creed
 
Do you think Karl Marx was a bad person for devising Marxist-style communism?

I'm not endorsing his viewpoints with this thread, I'm just seeing what everyone's opinion is.

Marx did not endorse communism, that came later. All he offered was a critique of capitalism, which in most cases he was right about.

I don't know enough about him to say he was a bad person. He just had a bad idea.
