Bill O'Reilly: Black Lives Matter is 'killing Americans'

By Hanna Trudo

The #BlackLivesMatter movement is "killing Americans," according to Bill O'Reilly.

“How Black Lives Matter is killing Americans: that is the subject of tonight’s talking points memo," the Fox News host began Wednesday's show.

He then quickly pivoted to what he described as a “violent subculture” within African American communities.

“The media will not spotlight that much of the violent crime in America is being committed right now by young black men,” O’Reilly said. “Blacks of all ages commit homicide at a rate of 8 times higher than whites and Hispanics combined. Conclusion: There is a violent subculture in the African American community that should be exposed and confronted.”

O’Reilly then accused the #BlackLivesMatter movement of promoting violence and perpetuating a "false narrative" around police shootings.

“Enter the #BlackLivesMatter crew, which roams around the country promoting a false narrative that American police officers are actively hunting down and killing blacks,” he said.

"In addition, #BlackLivesMatter is also infringing on freedom of assembly and freedom of expression,” O'Reilly said, pointing to a video clip of a protester interrupting a speaker at a recent event at DePaul University in Chicago.
