Bill O'Reilly Takes On Jay-Z & Young Jeezy For Obama-Inspired Performance, "Jay-Z Should Know Better"

Controversial television host Bill O'Reilly recently criticized Jay-Z and Young Jeezy on his "O'Reilly Factor" show for their pro-Barack Obama performance of "My President Is Black" in Washington, DC.

O'reilly first played a segment of what the duo said at a local nightclub Monday (January 19) night.

"I wanna thank two people," Jeezy told the crowd. "I wanna thank the motherf*ckers overseas that threw two shoes at George Bush. And I want to thank -- the motherf*ckers who helped them move their sh*t up out of the White House. Keep it moving b*tch because my president is motherf*cking black."

"I never thought I'd say this sh*t, but baby I'm good," Jay began to rap. "You can keep your p*ssy. I don't want no more Bush. No more war, no more Iraq. No more white lies, my president is black." (Please Don't Stare)

The host and comedian Dennis Miller then proceeded to analyze the segmented clip.

"Now Jay-Z should know better," O'Reilly said. "I don't know much about Young Jeezy, it is possible he will appear on "The Factor" soon.

"I don't give a flying bleep what these two guys think," Miller said. "I thought it was a beautiful day yesterday. If they couldn't ratchet down the hate for a day, then that's their problem not mine. And by the way, you're looking at an obsolete model there because if the dinosaurs were done in by the asteroids, role models in the black community like that are about to be done in by a shooting star named Barack Obama."

Jeezy recently justified the song and his emotions behind the record.

"Music is how you feel," Jeezy said about being inspired to write "My President." "But if I can say one word, I'll say 'necessary.' I felt it was necessary. I never ever paid attention to any election. Not really [into] politics or anything like that. It never benefited us. This time around, it's not a black-or-white thing -- you got somebody in there for us that's well-spoken and gonna handle their business. I just wanted to do my part and let them know we need change, we need help, it's rough out there." (MTV)

O'Reilly is reportedly responsible for Ludacris being dropped by Pepsi around August 2002.

The key factor for Pepsi in deciding which pop stars are appropriate pop pitchmen and women is now, apparently, ''The O'Reilly Factor.'' A day after Fox News Channel host Bill O'Reilly blasted the soda bottler for using ads featuring Ludacris, Pepsi has yanked the ads, citing consumer complaints over the rapper's profane and violent lyrics.

When I read this at first, I was on the same level emotionally. I felt that this was a severe blow to people's perceptions of black people, because as soon as I saw this I knew people would automatically assume we have to act a fool and cut up once someone black finally gets an opportunity. I understand he's black, but damn.

Then I understood Bill O'reilly is controversial because he's close minded and doesn't attempt to see anyone's perspective aside from his own. He operates like every almost every conservative i've seen does, same slandering tactics and simple immaturity. Lets not forget Bill O'reilly is associated with Fox News, and Fox is controversial because they're extremely right wing and also portray a similar immaturity along with an obvious bias in their new stories (though they should be objectively written).

Understand that even if Young Jeezy does contradict himself we have a democrat in office, and we have a black one. This is very fortunate however like everything it has it's disadvantages. Bill O'reilly and his conservative buddies are gonna use the same right wing tactics to hurt Obama's reputation. If it means stereotyping black people into rap they won't hesitate to say Obama supports violence because the rapper he likes said this and that. With conservatives it's always he said she said they believe this and that, misanthropic bullshit to bring whoever they target down.

I do understand Young Jeezy and Jay Z look bad, but it's not their fault. They didn't make themselves look bad, they followed a culture that just happens to involve cursing (notice we passed to ultra-sophisticated era a long time ago). It's not them making them look bad, it's conservatives making them look bad. This is a Fox tactic I want readers to be aware of, when they post a specific set of quotes and statements without showing the person's true intention but rather leaving the reader/watcher and going, 'Well, what do you think?' Don't be fooled by this. I'm sure it's not half as vulgar as they made it out to be.
