Colin Powell to Bill O'Reilly: 'Why Do You Only See Me as African-American?'

colin powell asked bill o'reilly during interview why do you only see me as an african american this is fascinating bill o'reilly was talking to colin powell about why is he supporting president obama and they went on and on asking you know citing different things bad statistics about president obama and colin powell saying you're framing everything about me being black but what about meat is being an american take a look at this oh he basically said to yourself i'm still going to support the guy you know as economic policies haven't worked for african-americans and pretty much anyone else well you're only seeing me as an african-american velvety feel yes i did units are developed no you know that once i did it in some of your criticisms usaid and correct me if i'm wrong that the disengagement of the republican party from the minority community blacks and hispanics troubled you the economic situation the country has improved but not enough nyeri oliver african-americans i have a nice i'm not speaking as an african-american i'll come to the minority part of my criticism in a moment isn't this annoys me because we we've covered for years bill rallies kinda fixation on race but why is it that when your guest is black they have to address their vote as a black person but then when the guest is white they just talk about what's good for everybody right and i might also address minority issues or well they might not have to be my also they are not strictly not strictly so it's it's very we really do i personally believe the bill o'reilly is a racist absolutely not that's not at all what i'm saying here i'm sure he has black friends so winner as best friend is why i'm just as bright as level what i'm saying is that bill reilly and other kind of establishment so-called self-described traditional folks as bill o'reilly might call them they can't figure out how president obama got himself elected and more importantly reelected and i think that they're just focusing on it's gotta be something to do with him being black and is it important to focus on this now after he wins a second term it certainly informing their opinions about future elections potentially so maybe that's why they see it is important to focus on i've really don't know what do you think about that time i mean i think fox news as a general things use though bob as president black unseen and he's taking he's changing the fundamental direction of the country and i think that it comes out whether the individual anchors and hosts are racist or not as besides the point it's the language they use which is racism which is discriminatory and which is just frankly flat out wrong lead i mean did that is true that many people voted for obama uh... because he was black without really caring about his positions tells the true than an even higher number according to studies didn't vote for him only because of that everything on fox news when it comes to issues of of minorities and and blacks is framed into such a bizarre an inappropriate way it absolutely is and this is the great example of and colin powell doing somewhat of a job at least that's a whole and second a let's back it up second right go today that happen dot com slash india to check out all of our t-shirts hoodies and zip up buddies you can also get one packaged with anyone your membership because of my upcoming twenty ninth birthday but you've got to know where to go and that's david packing dot com slash twenty-nine spell it out not the number twenty nine but the words twenty nine take advantage of that louis it's uh... fantastic deal we'll take a break and next an actual academic experts on whether violence in video games and movies causes gun violence or is the n_r_a_ just making that up that's up next the david hackman shelves and david jacqueline dot com
