BILL O'REILLY (HOST): I have got to word this very very carefully. The reason -- one of the reasons Barack Obama won was because African-Americans voted for him to the tune of 93 or 94 percent.

EBONI WILLIAMS: That's right, Bill.

O'REILLY: A lot of it, some of it, was because of his skin color.

WILLIAMS: Some of it was because of maybe his skin color, but not because he said oh us downtrodden victim-hood mentality. He talked about hope aspiration in the black community and that resonated. Not this oppressive marginalizing message.

O'REILLY: That's a good point. So Obama didn't overtly say vote for me because I'm black or half black.

WILLIAMS: Vote for me because I represent change.

O'REILLY: He just said I'm going to give everybody a better deal, whereas Hillary is saying vote for me because I'm a female.
