TYT: Why Is Bill O'Reilly Ripping This Beyonce Video?



*In the music video for the Beyoncé song "Partition," there's some incredibly raunchy imagery, including car sex and a lyric reference to Monica Lewinsky. Bill O'Reilly was fired up about this Monday night, confronting hip hop mogul Russell Simmons over what kind of message that sends to young black girls when such behavior is glorified by one of their idols...* The Young Turks host Cenk Uygur (and TYT COO Steve Oh) breaks it down.

2. Love TYT. But the text at the bottom doesn't match what Cenk is saying all the time.

What a bunch of bullshit. Par for the course, though, given Fox opinion shit.

further belabor the discussion of sexy videos, but Billo and his obsession over minority kids and how it's up to us save them is getting really old.

I should make the time to find that clip from NPR's "Fresh Air" where mild-mannered Terry Gross had him so bolluxed up that he stormed out of the studio. She used it for a while as a promo.

5. O'Reilly Wrong About the Video

First, Cenk is right Beyonce is in the back seat with her husband Jay-Z. Second, as far as I can tell there is no sex in the back seat of the car. She just sits on his lap and he rubs her leg. Other than that she seems to be dancing in front her husband.

Maybe O'Reilly is actually complaining about Beyonce singing about sex. However, since she is in the back seat with her husband I assume she is talking about having sex with her husband. So, what is O'Reilly's problem with the video? Young minority girls who watch the video will see a woman sitting in the back seat of a car with her husband, dancing in front of her husband, and talking about having sex with her husband. I do not see how a woman talking about having sex with her husband should be blamed for teenage girls having sex and getting pregnant.

so he blames Beyonce. So he covers it up by saying he is so concerned about young black girls watching the video. Give me a fucking break.





Billo, what you do in the privacy of your own home watching sexy videos is your responsibility.lol

Plus...she and her hubby Jay-Z are close to Obama, so they are surrogates to attack the President and his base.

Black people, meh.

Black people sexing it up, ooo... but, meh. Everybody knows those black people be all sexing, right? Where else would all the unwed welfare queen baby mamas come from? So... meh!

Black people with bling, more meh...

But wait, here's the STINGER for Billo:

That isn't "ghetto bling!!!

Those sexing, bling-ey black folks aren't "n(bad word) rich".... They are MOTHERF*****G WEALTHY!!!

Black people not supposed to be WEALTHY! Not THAT kinda mansion, not THAT kinda bling, not THAT kinda limo...

Sound the alarms, this is TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE!

"But Bill, we can't say, 'It's OUTRAGEOUS that black people can be this wealthy!'"

"We can't? But it IS!! It's JUST WRONG!!!"

"Yeah, but we can't SAY that."

"OK, we'll focus on the sexing part. They gonna be wealthy, they haveta go without, like me."

cynically,
Bright
