Bill O’Reilly Says Black Media And Single Mothers, Not White People, Are To Blame For The Downfall Of The Black Community

Bill O’Reilly Insults Single Black Mothers GOP goon affiliate and babbling bigot Bill O’Reilly was is back on his best bullisht. Joining in with the likes of many of his fellow Conservative closet racists, O’Reilly recently lashed out at the black community, claiming that black people blame white people for their biggest problems when they blame should be placed on themselves. via News One Conservative media’s current favorite brand of crock Bill O’Reilly is continuing on with his uninformed and highly disingenuous rant about the plight of the Black community — purportedly spurred by all the single ladies (“all the single ladies”) raising children. After President Barack Obama’s remarks about Trayvon Martin, O’Reilly became “enraged,” because the speech, according to him, didn’t address the “real” problems facing Blacks. O’Reilly, in all his pedantic glory, explained: “The reason is the collapse of the traditional African-American family unit; 50 years ago when Blacks had it much worse than they had it now, 25 percent of Black babies were born out of wedlock. Today, the number is close to 75 percent. That is catastrophic. But the civil rights industry and the White power fracture basically ignore the problem. They also ignore the entertainment industry putting out vile products aimed at young people, some of whom incorporate the gangster culture in to their own lives.” He continued, “White people don’t force Black people to have babies out of wedlock. That’s a personal decision. A decision that has devastated millions of children and led to disaster, both socially and economically.” At the root of O’Reilly’s rant was his obvious lack of GAF about black single mothers. However, we’re confused as to how black women having babies before marriage justifies George Zimmerman being acquitted for senselessly murdering an unarmed black teenager who came from a 2-parent home. SMH. Anywho, since he did take it there, what are your thoughts on O’Reilly’s comments Bossip fam? Does he have a point or should we put him at the tip top of the ‘ho sit down’ list?

Foster The People ‘Don’t Stop’ Video: High-Speed Chase

Band gets creative in new clip, which features ‘Precious’ actress Gabourey Sidibe. By James Montgomery Foster The People’s “Don’t Stop (Color on the Walls)” music video Photo: Columbia Records You’ve probably heard Foster the People’s new single “Don’t Stop (Color on the Walls)” in those Nissan commercials where a bunch fabulous-looking, creatively haired millennials cavort in the backseat and a voice-over guy burbles about stuff like “the most headroom per dollar of any car in America.” In a way, it is sort of the perfect song for selling modestly priced compact cars aimed at young adults with a few dollars to burn (a target demo that, given the current economic conditions, is admittedly pretty slight): bright and shiny and poppy, vaguely bloggy — if that’s even a thing — impossible to place in any given genre or era, instantly disposable in all the best possible ways. You’d think there are ad agencies who spend millions of dollars researching these things or something. Anyway, it’s probably only a coincidence (at least I hope it is) that the video for “Don’t Stop” — which premiered Thursday (December 8) on MTV.com — also involves a car. Though, in this case, it’s an old beater of a hatchback, and instead of starring someone straight out of central casting, it inexplicably features “Precious” actress Gabourey Sidibe. Also, it’s roughly 450 times more clever than those Nissan spots. Part good old-fashioned car chase, part improbable love story, it’s sort of an updated take on “Bonnie and Clyde,” with frontman Mark Foster starring as a wanton driving instructor who absconds with a satchel of cash from the DMV (who knew they had that much loot on hand?) and tricks Sidibe into being his getaway driver — namely because the cops (played by his bandmates Mark Pontius and Cubbie Fink) are hot on his trail. Things go about as well as you’d expect, as Gabby nearly slams into a cop car, stalls out, and then, at Foster’s insistence, blows through a red light. As the two battle for control of the wheel, the car blows through intersections, runs fellow motorists off the road, slams through barricades and eventually crashes through some scaffolding, covering their car in paint and finally drawing the attention of the fuzz. From there, the clip switches into full-on action mode, with Sidibe and Foster outrunning the law with some off-roading moves and falling in love in the process. After some vehicular back-and-forth, the duo is finally nabbed, and as Foster is cuffed, Gabby decides to makes one last break for it — but not before stopping to plant a kiss firmly on Foster’s lips. Of course, we also find out that the two officers who have been in pursuit share a rather special bond of their own, and as Sidibe guns it and disappears over the horizon, the clip ends. The whole thing is sweet, silly and delightfully over-the-top, and, after repeated viewings, one can only wonder: Why didn’t Nissan think of this first ?
