Bill O’Reilly Does Racial Hit Job On Dr. Boyce Watkins

posted in Social Commentary, Action Alert, Racial Injustice | | | View blog reactions | Print This Post

Dr. Watkin is an eloquent Black professor at Syracuse University, and sometimes television commentator. He’s also an Aphrosphere Blogger and even does videos; I remember he had a good Jena 6 video when that story was starting to break last August.

You can visit Dr. Watkins and see his response to O’Reilly at blog.boycewatkins.com/

So anyway, O’Racistly is going after Dr. Watkins because he called Jaun Williams, whom I’ve laid off of all these years, an “eternally happy Negro” for giving people like O’Racistly racial cover. And then right after O’Rasictly’s hit job segment tonight there was Jaun Williams by O’Rielly giving cover to his race suppression efforts, and proving Dr. Boyce right - only tonight he was an indignant eternally angry Negro; but only angry at the Black man. Only if he ever got so angry at O’Reilly and Sean Hannity’s racist antics.

O’Reilly did one of his ambush jobs, this time on Syracuse Chancellor Nancy Cantor. She would not engage except to repeat that Dr. Boyce’s words were his private words and that he was not speaking for the University; as the “reporter” and camera man stalked her all the way to her building.

You can disagree with Boyce Watkins opinion about Williams, but he doesn’t deserve to be labeled a racist for them as he said nothing racist; and he doesn’t deserve to have his boss stalked (and of course she doesn’t deserve to be ambushed and stalked), nor to have his job put in jeopardy.

This reverse claim of racism anytime a person of color speaks up strongly against racism, or about our own racially pandering to the majority for self advancement; is a full bore intentional tactic by the defenders of the status quo, of white privelege, and of racial discrimination to try to suppress strong voices against racism; and to cut down and try to discredit those standing up for the victims of racism so that the status quo might be maintained.

Support Dr. Watkins

1. I’d say for one, go to his site and leave words of encouragement as I did.

2. Call Syracuse and leave messages for Dr. Cantor in support of Dr. Watkins, and to congratulate her on how she handle O’Reilly’s thugs, and didn’t unfairly throw Boyce under the bus: 315-443-1870

    Hey brother,

    I heard you called. I just wanted to take a sec and say thanks 10 million for the kind words. The support is invaluable, as the heat from the campus and around the nation can come in droves. I was even offered police protection due to the volume of death threats (which says something about the kinds of brainless hill billies who listen to Bill O’Reilly). To be honest, I simply stay isolated from all the craziness so I can focus on my work and keep sight on the truth. O’Reilly, nor anyone else, can stop black people when we are mobilized. We are the descendants of kings and queens and our ancestors died to pave a way for us to be intelligent, brave and ambitious. Let’s get the job done.

    Respect,
    Boyce

    No problem Boyce, I’m glad to back you up. Just stay representing, and don’t let these clowns get you down.

    Death threats, seriously???

    Like these freakin O’Reilly rednecks care about a Black man (Juan Williams). They just revel in and opportunity to threaten a Black man.

    If Juan doesn’t speak up against this, despite feeling insulted by you; that says volumes about his character.

    Great post Yobachi. I signed the petition Boyce is circulating about media outlets like Fox.

    Thanks Adrianne.

    I was going to ask you to call Dr. Cantor’s office at Syracuse as well; but then I remembered you’re in Europe. Maybe I’ll call back and ask about an email address that comments can be sent to.

    I don’t get what the controversy is about. Juan Williams is a happy negro ! And so is Armstrong Williams and Shelby Steele and Clarence Thomas. They enjoy being a part of the racist conservative establishment and turning against their own. Why send Dr. Watkins death threats for talking about something we all know ?

  6. 6 On May 16th, 2008, D. Yobachi Boswell said:

    S. Justice, that’s why they’re sending the death threats; to surpress the truth.

    The defenders of a return to Jim Crow, and the white priveledge status quo are treatened by the prospect that people might become awakened to the social world order.
