Bill O’Reilly shamelessly race baited tonight as he turned what purported to be a discussion about violence in schools into an attack on minorities.

O’Reilly asked at the beginning why so many teachers (10%) are now reporting either being attacked or threatened by their pupils. But it was just a formality because he soon revealed his own theory:

This is a black school, a primarily black school in Philadelphia. Alright? Is there a racial situation.

...There are no white schools that we know of in the country where this kind of a problem exists to that extent.  

...It is largely an African American and Hispanic American problem. That’s where the violence are in those precincts.

And let’s expand the discussion. In New York City, 80% of all the shootings in the nation’s largest town are blacks. If you add Hispanic shooters, 98% of all the shootings in New York City are minority. Less than 1% are white. So you’re seeing not only violence in the schools but then it translates out in the streets – almost exclusively from the minority precincts.

Later, he said, "The statistics in schools and in violent crime against African Americans are damning, they’re damning."

This is not the first time O’Reilly has tried to blame violence on minorities. Last month, he said about gun violence, “(I)f you look at the stats, it’s not about gun control, it’s about race.”
