Bill O'Reilly: Black Lives Matter Is a "Destructive Movement"- Late Night with Seth Meyers

Late Night with Seth Meyers

[Mateo]

Usually disagree with everything that comes out of Bill's mouth, but he's right here.

[ElNingyou]

Anyone who's ever had to use a bathroom after Bill O'Reilly knows he knows a thing or two about destructive movements.

[yunacatlife]

Seth is my favorite late night host. He really does his job professionally even if he disagrees with the person.

[STFOX]

What a Bill O'Reilly thing to say

[peachesandpoets]

Since y'all love Dr. King so much, I got a few quotes you can use instead of asking Black folks what King would do (if your parents and grandparents and many of you hand't sat idly acquiescing to a government that murdered him.)

1. “We’ve got to camp in – put our tents in front of the White House…We’ve got to make it know that until our problem is solved, America may have many, many days but they will be full of trouble. There will be no rest, there will be no tranquility in this country until the nation comes to terms with our problem.”

2. “Nonviolent protest must now mature to a new level…mass civil disobedience…There must be more than a statement to the larger society, there must be a force that interrupts its functioning at some key point.”

3. “The greatest purveyor of violence in the world : My own Government, I can not be Silent.”

4. “The thing wrong with America is white racism. White folks are not right…It’s time for America to have an intensified study on what’s wrong with white folks.”

5. “I’m sorry to have to say to you that the vast majority of white Americans are racist, either consciously or unconsciously.”

An old crazy white guy telling the people what the African American community thinks, and knows how Martin Luther King would act. Has to be accurate, right? lol

Brings me back to that Bill O Reilly vs Jon Stewart debate.

[Sean-dmez]

oh please, if MLK was marching today or if oreilly lived back in the 60's, oreilly would be criticizing MLK just like he does anything else.

[biancac]

Right, coming from the guy who was shocked to find out black people can be civil when he was eating at a restaurant.

[hatthomas]

I find it more than curious that literally *NO* conservative movement has ever been about human rights. Not one. Unless you count abortion....which doesn't count.

[ShazzyZang]

People need to stop simplifying and generalizing Black Lives Matter. BLM is not really a group but more of a topic that describes many different groups fighting for the same thing. There isn't really a unified BLM movement because every little division acts in a different way, some good and some bad, so when they do unify in huge protests it's chaos because no one is really controlling it. I think if Martin Luther King Jr was alive he wouldn't be opposing BLM but leading it and unifying it so that it's far more successful.

[johnsondailysports]

I'm black and I agree with Bill O'reilly

[scoreme]

Did he just say a wait man was second only to MLK in advancing black rights?

[DayzoIRL]

A lot of dislikes because of the controversy of the subject, but actually this is a very interesting, entertaining and important video.

[oljeb]

There's no need to dislike the video guys Seth adamantly disagreed with him

[Bookman]

"I feel like we often ask for patience from people who have given us hundreds of years of patience." Tell it Seth

[tylerkeller]

Shocking that the guy who was fired for sexual harassment takes this position on another group of people who suffer from the systemic disadvantages in this country.

[lenichimer]

oh boy... privilege runs deep in this one.
"we don't live in a perfect world" - so we shouldn't even try, right?

[tomlevy]

Things wrong with O'Reilly's argument1. He is separating those who support blacklivematter movement from the American people when he say American don't want violence.2. He is assuming all blacklivesmatter movement activists are violent when most are peaceful.3. He is referring to MLK and how he wanted peaceful protest. MLK didn't just wanted peaceful protest, he admired and recommended it. What MLK wanted was to do was make change and have equal rights for African Americans.Wake up America! All people who have no reason to be subject to less rights deserve an equal chance and therefore equal rights.

[JasonGafar]

I usually find O'Reilly to be deplorable however he was 110% right on this one.

[brendandevlin]

Also curious to see how the Factor would have covered MLK if it had been around
