Megyn Kelly and Bill O’Reilly battle over “white privilege”

On Monday night, Bill O’Reilly welcomed Megyn Kelly to his Fox News program where the two hosts clashed over “white privilege.” O’Reilly took umbrage with Kelly’s mere suggestion that there was something to the idea that whites have a leg up in the United States.

“It’s got a lot of evidence behind it, if you look at the statistics, it’s alarming,” Kelly said, noting that the incarceration rate for African Americans is six times higher than for Caucasians.

“It all comes down to family, culture, personal responsibility,” O’Reilly countered, while criticizing Attorney General Eric Holder and praising Asian Americans for their sense of family values and achievements in academia.

“All of these things which we don’t hear much about and this is what drives the poverty,” he added.

Kelly rebutted by saying that there were plenty of loving African-American families, and tried to explain to O’Reilly the mindset of people in Ferguson.

“The black population feels forgotten, Bill. That’s why they feel resentful,” she said.
