Bill O'Reilly's Racially Charged Comments by Ray

I appears that Bill O'Reilly has had another foot-in-mouth moment.

Fox News conservative commentator Bill O'Reilly expressed surprise that there was no difference between eating at Sylvia's - the famed African-American eatery in Harlem - and white-owned restaurants.
 
After a recent meal, O'Reilly told a radio audience that he "couldn't get over the fact" that there was no difference between the black-run Sylvia's and other restaurants.
 
"It was like going into an Italian restaurant in an all-white suburb in the sense of people were sitting there, and they were ordering and having fun," he said. "And there wasn't any kind of craziness at all."
 
O'Reilly had treated civil-rights rabble-rouser Al Sharpton to dinner at Sylvia's to thank him for appearing on Fox News' "The O'Reilly Factor." The right-wing pundit made the statements on his nationally syndicated radio show last week.

According to other reports O'Reilly also said: "There wasn't one person in Sylvia's [restaurant] who was screaming, 'M-Fer, I want more iced tea.' " more on this story here.
