One part of this video is a microcosm for speaking to liberals. Watch what happens at about 3:25 into the video. Bill turns to the audience and says there is no more slavery and there is no more Jim Crow. The audience gasps at this statement, as if it was something awful to say. They all go "ooooooooooohhhhhhhhh!"

Here's the thing. It is a statement of fact! Slavery and the Jim Crow laws have been abolished! There is no argument to be had with that statement! This is the point I make when I say you can not speak about race to a liberal. The crowd took what he said as something shocking and offensive. This is why white men can't have an honest conversation about race. Liberals do not respond well to facts.

Reading too much into it. Stewart repeats it afterwards. The oohs were in anticipation of where O'Reilly was going with his statements.

Regardless you can't judge all liberals on Stewart's studio audience. Stewart oohs and the crowd ooh... It's a one man show. The studio audience just do what they're told.

There is segregation in the United States. Our schools are one example. Health care access is another example, though positive changes have been made there.

The schools are based on where you live. Not your race. If a black family isn't able to afford to or chooses not to live somewhere that does not make a school segregated. The issue there is at an entirely different source. Being race vs income, and other areas.

Our parents are another example. I think we all deserve a rich dad.

For the first time I think both of them had good points. Usually Bill sounds like an idiot but he had some things to say that were correct. As did Stewart.

idk if joking - but Jon Stewart is the Liberal/Democrat (the Host)
Bill O'REilly is the Conservative/Republican (the old white guy)

about the interview - of course their is white privilege

Bill is such an idiot and he proves it like 6x here.
