Bill O’Reilly used the “Talking Points” segment on his Fox News show Tuesday night to weigh in on the ongoing debate over the Electoral College, claiming those who’d like to see the system abolished are motivated by race.
“This is all about race,” O’Reilly said. “The left sees white privilege in America as an oppressive force that must be done away with. Therefore white working-class voters must be marginalized, and what better way to do that than center the voting power in the cities.”
The “Factor” host told his viewers that he’s one of the rare pundits exposing the truth about progressives.
“Very few commentators will tell you that the heart of liberalism in America is based on race,” O’Reilly said. “It permeates almost every issue — that white men have set up a system of oppression and that system must be destroyed.”
If the Electoral College were abolished, O’Reilly said, presidential candidates “could simply campaign in the nation’s largest states and cities — New York, L.A., Chicago, Houston — and rack up enough votes to pretty much win any election. That’s what the left wants, because in the large urban areas and blue states like New York and California, minorities are substantial.”
“Neutralizing the largely white rural areas in the Midwest and South will assure liberal politicians get power and keep it,” he continued. “White men have largely abandoned the Democrats, and the left believes this is because of racism — that they want to punish minorities and keep them down.”
O’Reilly added: “The left wants power taken away from the white establishment, and they want a profound change in the way America is run.”
Well, this white male Socialist Democrat, who has observed the designed marginalization of people of color by Republicans my whole life through gerrymandering voting districts and enacting discriminatory voter ID laws, intended specifically to make it harder for a Democrat (black or Hispanic) to vote, has no sympathy for the "white establishment". They are the ones that have historically kept the black voter down since the Civil War, and it still continues to this day.
So, in a way O'Reilly is right, because I for one have no use for the predominantly white conservative agenda that has taken over this country. What does he expect, that the Democrats will embrace the bigotry and do nothing to change it?
I don't think so.
