Well, he’s been here before. Once again, everybody’s favorite über-white guy, Bill O’Reilly, is our Sphincter Spotlight.

In case you missed the story about what the Long Island boy said on his radio show, he and FOX News contributor Juan Williams were conversing on September 19 about O’Reilly’s dining experience in Harlem at Sylvia’s Restaurant with the Rev. Al Sharpton. We’re not making that up. He actually had dinner with Al Sharpton…in Harlem. Let that sink in before reading further.

Anyway, here’s a sampling of what he said: “We went to Sylvia’s, a very famous restaurant in Harlem. I had a great time, and all the people up there are tremendously respectful. And I couldn’t get over the fact that there was no difference between Sylvia’s Restaurant and any other restaurant in New York City. I mean, it was exactly the same, even though it’s run by blacks, primarily black patronship. There wasn’t one person in Sylvia’s who was screaming, ‘M–Fer, I want more iced tea.’ It was like going to an Italian restaurant in an all-white suburb, in the sense of people were sitting there, and they were ordering and having fun. And there wasn’t any kind of craziness at all.”

So O’Reilly’s listeners learned the groundbreaking news, from a source they obviously trust, that black people, just like the rest of us, can act in a civilized manner, too. This was undoubtedly an epiphany for his typical audience member.

He couldn’t get over the fact that people there acted just like folks in any other decent eatery in Manhattan? What exactly did he expect? Scantily clad video vixens serving up Cognac on their huge badonkadonks? Grill-wearing, Glock^®-toting, ass-grabbing gangstas eating collard greens and cornbread?

O’Reilly relishes every chance he gets to rail against the hip-hop culture. How ironic is it that, whenever he talks about racial issues, it sounds like the only exposure he’s ever had to the black community is either MTV’s Sucker Free Sunday or BET’s 106 & Park?

Imagine if a black person’s only exposure to white people came via the student section at LSU home football games. He would likely be shocked if he ever witnessed a group of sober white people not screaming obscenities at another group of white people wearing different-colored shirts.

Maybe the next time O’Reilly discovers something earth-shattering about another race from which he’s been isolated all his life, before sharing that finding with millions of people, he may want to ask his friend Juan Williams, “Does this make me sound racist?”
