Bill O’Reilly Mad Because Beyonce Isn’t Protecting Children in “Partition” Video

I’m actually not sure if I should LMAO or SMH or be mad or what? I’m ONLY sure of one thing…Bill O’Reilly has GOT to go.

Via Mediaite:

“In the music video for theBeyoncé song “Partition,” there’s some incredibly raunchy imagery, including car sex and a lyric reference toMonica Lewinsky. Bill O’Reillywas fired up about this Monday night, confronting hip hop mogul Russell Simmons over what kind of message that sends to young black girls when such behavior is glorified by one of their idols.

O’Reilly said the video “glorifies having sex in the back of a limousine,” and wondered “why on earth would this woman do that” when unplanned pregnancy is a problem in the black community. Simmons didn’t defend Beyoncé specifically, but spoke up in support of artists reflecting the reality people live in.

O’Reilly insisted that Beyoncé has “an obligation to protect children” and not to put out “exploitive garbage.” He called the video “inexplicable” and was utterly bemused when Simmons said that the music video is, in fact, a work of art.”

Here’s the clip:

WUT.

No, seriously. What’s going on, here? First of all, how does one “protect children” via music? And…since when did Beyonce have an “obligation” to do so…through MUSIC? If that were the case, then no artists anywhere should make any song referencing sex at all ever.

“Glorifies having sex in the back of a limousine” <<<< I am laughing so hard at this. Who continues to give this dude a mic, guys? I’m serious. It’s like he’s pulling things out of his azz to be upset about.

BYE, Bill.
