It is no wonder when Jesse Watters does his segments of "Watters World" hosted by the "O'Reilly Factor", so many kids/young adults are totally clueless of even the most basic things.
Watching that video clip, presumably those kids didn't get educated at home or in school.
To be fair, when Jay Leno and Howard Stern were doing this 20 years ago, people on the street of all ages were just as clueless on a wide variety of issues/news. Jesse should come up with something original.
I thought they were on to something for a moment. A television show, that explains that "white" people shouldn't be profiled racially like everyone else. Just because you say every white person has unbeknownst privileges is just as prejudicial and racist as saying any other racial slur. The president is black, we've have Hispanic icons and lest not forget a bunch of white men, alongside black men, along every other immigrant in this country died to free every man (women and child also) that lives in this country as an AMERICAN. If anyone should be made to apologize and feel sorry for who they are it is those who refuse to salute our flag, call themselves Americans and assimilate into this society/community/country. Remember, when German/Italian/Japanese/-Americans went to war in their "home" countries, they were welcomed with bullets and mortar-fire, not handshakes.
I saw the Watters thing. It's not too surprising really. I think that a lot of people also kind of get stage fright in a way or blank out when they are being filmed on camera like that for national television. Something to consider.
I know Jay Leno did similar things a long time ago too as someone else mentioned.
The guy who said Chick-fil-A is toast was being sarcastic. He was letting you know that liberals weren't able to hurt the fast food giant, and that maybe, just maybe, their outrage helped its popularity. Wow, when did people stop recognizing sarcasm.
A "white people" show is the norm on TV (see the current lineup and past shows like "Friends") and all that is generated by Hollywood. It has been this way since the existence of TV. To actually have a show designated as a "white people" show, is so damn Confederate-like. It's like screaming "white power" - which is done by skinhead, Ayran Brotherhood, Klan, Conservative, and white supremacist groups in this country. There is no place for this.
Yeah. We need to return to good wholesome fare like the Jeffersons.

Any of you old enough to watch the Jeffersons sitcom?
That had a lot of white bashing in that. So did Good Times. Although, there were a lot of black bashing sitcoms too then.
Its just so much double standards today.
Don Rickles rocked. He would tell jokes that would and could offend everything and everyone. And he didn't care.
Can't make black jokes today, but sure can make whitey jokes. Chris Rock is good at that.

Chris Rock makes lots of black jokes. Most black comedians do.
If you really want to see black people lampooned (or rather harpooned), check out videos of "The Boondocks." There is more than enough black-bashing being done by blacks. You can find plenty of that on YouTube as well.
The "George Jefferson" was created as the opposing pole to "Archie Bunker" character, as anti-white as Bunker was anti-black. If you don't know that, you weren't there.
