Bill O’Reilly asks John Calipari how he coaches all those crazy black kids

[DonViejo]

The Fox News host can't understand how the college basketball coach handles (certain) kids these day

Bill O’Reilly may know more about African-Americans than he used to — he gets now that they don’t all scream profanities when dining out, for example — but that doesn’t mean he no longer has questions.

Indeed, the Fox News star’s enduring curiosity was on full display Monday night when he had University of Kentucky men’s basketball coach John Calipari on to discuss his new book as well as the many, many difficulties of maintaining order and basic standards of human decency when handling a bunch of young men who were raised on that “hip-hop stuff.”

Throughout the segment, O’Reilly peppered Calipari with questions that were rather unsubtle in their unstated racist premises. Calipari did his best to implicitly reject the assumptions embedded in O’Reilly’s questions, but the championship-winning coach was obviously uncomfortable throughout a segment that could be reasonably boiled down to O’Reilly asking, repeatedly, “What’s with these black kids today and how do I get them off my lawn?”

1. It's similar to the techniques used in controlling a gang of belligerent drunken Irishmen, Bill

2. As a UCONN fan I have to say

John Calipari is an asshole. Ahhhh OK I feel better so I can probably say this now.... the look on his face is fantastic, almost a WTF is the matter with you. Calipari handled that pretty well but he probably should have expected it going in.

3. Meaning...

Blacks are from another planet while everyone else on the planet has common sense.

Kiss my ass Bill O'lielly!!!and the rest of the gang who always,no matter the subject puts black people in a separate box as though blacks aren't humans.

4. O'Reilly didn't get the nickname "Billo the Clown"

for nothing.

5. I'm sure if he was talking to a history professor from Kentucky about their students he'd ask if

the students used four letter words with the teachers and if they needed strict discipline because of the rap stuff. Yeah.

6. but he's not a racist

that word is just soooo overused

7. Noticed the media fails to outright call him, "racist."

I guess if you are rich and powerful enough you can get away with blatant racism like that and not be called out for it.

ESPN Radio commentators were stunned by O'reilly's behavior.
