In a conversation with Dr. Ben Carson.

O'Reilly insists that Blacks are being easily manipulated, in an almost child-like manner, by the Democrats. His evidence: (some) poll that says 85% of Blacks think Obama is doing a good job.
The clear implication: That O'Reilly's white audience, 85% of which think Obama is not doing a good job, are more sophisticated, informed, and let's face it, more intelligent. As a group. They would have to be, in O'Reilly's mind. O'Reilly's white audience are not so easily fooled, not child like.
To his credit Carson pushed back on O'Reilly's not-so-subtle racism, saying he (Carson) believed Blacks were not so easily manipulated. O'Reilly disagrees.
The racism is so ingrained among some Republicans like O'Reilly they know not what they do. That's a shame.
