What was Bill O'Reilly trying to say when he jokingly said to Marc Lamont Hill (pictured), "Say you're a cocaine dealer - and you kind of look like one a little bit ..."?
It was an awkward exchange. Hill replied with a joke about O'Reilly to try and lighten it up, but I sensed some tension at that very moment. Clearly, O'Reilly put Hill in a tough position with what could be construed as an offensive remark. Hill, it seemed, let O'Reilly off the hook at that moment.
Question for Bill O'Reilly: What does a cocaine dealer look like that would make you ask that question of Hill?
