At the end of this clip, O’Reilly states: “We’re living in a society where if anything is uttered about any minority group, Media Matters or somebody else will say you’re a racist."

      Great right-wing "logic", it's a word that use to be racist but it's no longer racist today....especially when a nobody d-list right-wing actor uses it against the Left.

      "Negros" is not the spanish term for "schvatza".  "Mayate" is the spanish form of "schvatza" in this country.  Either Goldberg does not know this because he is ignorant about that which he is speaking or he continues to knowingly spread misinformation.  Either way I would LOVE for Bernie to go to the neighborhood I grew up in and refer to the first group of young black men he encounters as "schvatzas" or "mayates".  I think he may learn a very valuable lesson that both he and O'Reilly should have learned as young men (boys) which would have taught them to respect their fellow man and honesty in general - the true lesson of a good old fashioned ass-whupping.  Oh, how I would cherich that moment when they found out you cannot always lie your way out of every situation.

      I know this because I grew up as a "guerro" in a neighborhood that was predominately minority.  If only O'Reilly (or Goldberg) actually were the tough guys they like to play on television.

      I've never heard that word before but I doubt Goldberg's contention that it "simply means a black person."  Does kike simply mean a Jewish person?  Does wetback simply mean an Hispanic person?  Does cracker simply mean a white person?  Using Goldberg's logic they do.

      Was it the conservatives or the liberals that advocated the equal rights movement?

      If the conseratives had there way only white men would have rights in this country.
