Conservative Fox News talk show host Bill O'Reilly was in the zone as he hosted rapper Lupe Fiasco, who referred to President Obama and all presidents of the United States as "terrorists."
O'Reilly puts rappers on a pedestal to inflate their political influence so he can portray them as too black and too dangerous as he tries to tear them down.
Notice in the interview how condescending O'Reilly is as he talks to his guest. It's not an accident.
As a side note, O'Reilly hosted this segment also to disingenuously appear unbiased by "defending" President Obama against this man referring to him as a "terrorist." I am not buying it and neither should anyone else.
This was a cultural attack by O'Reilly that allowed him to fake a defense of Obama. In a way, it's kind of brilliant on the right-wing host's part.

Mr Gholston:
Peace be upon you brother.
As you had a choice to comment on 1001 elements of the comments by Lupe Fiasco - WHY did you choose to focus on Bill O'Reilly rather than COMMANDER IN CHIEF OBAMA?
Do you agree with Mr Fiasco's comments about Obama being a Terrorist?
Or does this mean that you unwillingly agree with O'Reilly that he is not?
As we continue in this 2012 Election season - I am stunned to see that Black folks who have "The Best Seat In The House" get mental satisfaction by avoiding discussions that would cause them to QUESTION their own ideological bearings and instead seek to debate on the MARGINS.
And you wonder why.................
Mr. Feedback:

The answer to your second question: No
The answer to your third question:
What (in your mind) do I wonder?
