Bill O'Reilly RACIST, SEXIST ATTACK On Rep. Maxine Waters|Bill O'Reilly Vs Maxine Waters|Waters 

Bill O'Reilly apologizes after making racially charged joke about congresswoman. Fox News host Bill O'Reilly apologized Tuesday after coming under fire for mocking a black congresswoman's hair. 
During an appearance on "Fox & Friends," O'Reilly reacted to a clip of Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) delivering a speech on the floor of the House of Representatives. "I didn't hear a word she said," O'Reilly said of Waters. "I was looking at the James Brown wig." "If we have a picture of James Brown -- it's the same wig," he added. 
The remarks were widely denounced as both racist and sexist on Twitter, where O'Reilly's name was trending Tuesday morning and afternoon. In a statement Tuesday afternoon, O'Reilly expressed regret for the remarks. "As I have said many times, I respect Congresswoman Maxine Waters for being sincere in her beliefs," he said. "I said that again today on Fox & Friends calling her 'old school.' Unfortunately, I also made a jest about her hair which was dumb. I apologize." The top rated host on cable news, O'Reilly actually drew some pushback before he even left the "Fox & Friends" set. While one of the program's male co-hosts, Brian Kilmeade, laughed heartily at O'Reilly's comment, the lone female host -- Ainsley Earhardt -- stepped in to back Waters. "I have to defend her on that," Earhardt said. "You can't go after a woman's looks. I think she's very attractive." "I didn't say she wasn't attractive," O'Reilly said. "I love James Brown. But it's the same hair!" He later called Waters a "sincere individual" and said she should be commended for speaking her mind. "Whatever she says she believes," O'Reilly said. "She's not a phony, and that's old school." As clips of O'Reilly's remarks made the rounds online, some media watchdogs noted that Waters found herself on the receiving end of another racially charged remark from a different Fox News personality years earlier. In his joke about the former secretary of state, O'Reilly imagined a farcical scenario wherein the Clinton Foundation was forced to return thousands of pantsuits to the Chinese government. "We don't want them back,'" O'Reilly said, adopting a fake Chinese accent. "'They don't fit anyone here in this country.'" Bill O'Reilly. Representative Maxine Waters. Rep Maxine Waters.

Maxine Waters' hair. After spending extended time on Monday's episode of "The O'Reilly Factor" defending colleague Sean Hannity from Ted Koppel, O'Reilly stopped by "Fox & Friends," where he was asked about Waters' recent criticisms about President Trump. O'Reilly was then shown a clip from Waters' speech on the House floor and responded, saying, "I didn't hear a word [Waters] said. I was looking at the James Brown wig. If we have a picture of James, it's the same wig." Beyond the inappropriateness of insulting people on their appearance, O'Reilly also overstepped right into a minefield when he targeted the hair of a black woman.  The 2009 documentary "Good Hair" delved into the history and evolution of matters of hair among African American women. It's an issue that continues to be so culturally relevant that comedian Phoebe Robinson titled her 2016 memoir "You Can't Touch My Hair," and Solange Knowles included a track on her 2016 album, "A Seat at the Table," called "Don't Touch My Hair." 
African Americans “fight against this president, and we point out how dangerous he is for this society and for this.
