Bill O'Reilly: Al Sharpton in working with Rappers who are Harmful to black children

from The Blaze:

Fresh off his Monday “Talking Points Memo” that sparked a heated debate about race and the problems harming the black community, Bill O’Reilly teed off again Thursday, slamming the “civil rights industry” for not addressing the core reasons why many blacks are not succeeding in the “market place.” Due to that fact, young blacks continue to be “at risk” and are faced with “enormous obstacles to overcome.”

However, O’Reilly started his “Talking Points Memo” with a scathing critique of rapper Lil Wayne and one of his “piece of garbage” songs in which he brags that he beats “that p***y up like Emmett Till.” Till was savagely murdered in Mississippi at the age of 14 for flirting with a white girl in 1955.
The Till family was outraged by the disgusting lyrics – and rightfully so. Mountain Dew was also unhappy about the offensive song and pulled a multimillion dollar endorsement deal with the rapper.
It wasn’t long before none other than Al Sharpton and his group, National Action Network, intervened in the dispute between Mountain Dew, Lil Wayne and the Till family, O’Reilly explained.
“National Action Network doesn’t want the end result to be the penalization of artists – Although they clearly need to be corrected…” Sharpton said in a May 8 statement.
Then O’Reilly delivered the “shocker”: The parent company of Lil Wayne’s Cash Money Content, “which markets vile stuff that hurts children,” is a partner in distributing Sharpton’s upcoming book. It would later be revealed that it wasn’t until after his intervention that his publisher penned the distribution deal with the rapper’s parent company.
“That’s right, Al Sharpton is in business with people who put out entertainment harmful to children,” O’Reilly said.

Lil Wayne walks all over American flag while filming latest anti-American rap video

article from Daily News:


 
“Didn’t think I could like this dude less,” one Twitter user wrote of  
Political protest or accidental flag faux pas?
Filming for Lil Wayne’s “God Bless Amerika” music video in New Orleans is under scrutiny after a clip of his performance shows an oversized American flag drop to the street before Wayne tramples Old Glory as he raps.

Lil Wayne rapping in front of the flag before it’s dropped to the street below. The clip has drawn outrage from some.

It may have been overlooked, if not for the incendiary lyrics in the song:
“My country ‘tis of thee/ sweet land of kill ‘em all and let ‘em die/ God bless Amerika/ This so godless Amerika … the stars on the flag are never shining,” the song, off this year’s “I Am Not a Human Being II,” goes.

“It is the American flag that is draped across the coffins of our fallen heroes when they come back from war. In fact, any veteran can have a flag on their coffin. As such, it’s entitled to the highest respect,” said John Raughter, an American Legion spokesman.

“It is the American flag that is draped across the coffins of our fallen heroes when they come back from war. In fact, any veteran can have a flag on their coffin. As such, it’s entitled to the highest respect,” said John Raughter, an American Legion spokesman.

The one-minute clip shows Weezy, 30, singing in front of the huge red, white and blue flag before it’s let go onto the Hollygrove, New Orleans, street. The drop reveals a group of people standing behind Wayne as he continues to rap, stepping all over the flag as he dances and moves in his hometown.
“All Americans should treat (the flag) with respect,” said John Raughter, an American Legion spokesman speaking generally about the flag and who admitted he had yet to see the clip. “It is the American flag that is draped across the coffins of our fallen heroes when they come back from war. In fact, any veteran can have a flag on their coffin. As such, it’s entitled to the highest respect.”
