ORIGINAL: AsmodaisSin Interestingly enough, Bill O'Reilly apologized to Sherrod. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/07/22/bill-oreilly-apologizes-t_n_655411.html Interestingly enough his apology wasn't really an apology: "I owe Ms. Sherrod an apology for not doing my homework, for not putting her remarks into the proper context," O'Reilly said, saying the "exact same thing" happened to him in 2007 around comments he made about black diners at Sylvia's restaurant in Harlem. But O'Reilly opened up a new line of attack on Sherrod, claiming that her story about taking a white farmer to a white lawyer — what she called "his own kind" and "one of his own" — reveals a racially-tinged worldview. "If a white public servant referenced 'his own kind' or 'one of his own' when speaking about an African American, that white person would be fired on the spot," O'Reilly said. He apologized for not doing his homework about the full video. He watched/read the rest of the transcript and found a lot of her comments and phrasing to be rather racially and POLITICALLY charged. Why don`t you share with us, what it was Sharrod said that makes you think her comments and phrasing to be racially and POLITICALLY charged. Do you think they were?
