The only thing more ridiculous than denying white privilege is watching two white millionaires debate it on national television. But that was the case on Wednesday when FOX News host and author Bill O’Reilly ostensibly stopped by The Daily Show to discuss his latest book, Killing Patton. Only instead of a polite exchange about the history of World War II General George Patton, the conversation immediately turned to the existence of white privilege.
Host Jon Stewart spent all of 10 seconds discussing the 368-page book (“We’re just going to call the series Killing Treesthey sell like crazy”) before launching into a discussion of white privilege and asking O’Reilly to admit that white privilege exists.
