O'REILLY: What about the people that say -- I've been called a racist by Ludacris and these other people. And because I'm trying to hold them accountable. And also, the white corporations behind them, you know. What do you think about that?

PAYNE: Well, freedom of speech again, Bill. But the thing of it is, if they have something personal against what you're doing, they should say it and don't use a whole play the race card to take away from your doing a good deed to the community.

O'REILLY: Well, do you really think I am though? Or am I not seeing this the way I should see it?

PAYNE: You're seeing it clear, Bill. And if you were a racist, I don't think I would be here. And I'm a real gang member. I just left four other real gang members. I did a lecture at UCLA. And their hearts are where my heart is. They're like we're tired of it. We realize that all these rappers, they have to make a living. They're making money, and we applaud them for that. But yet and all, you're doing it off the sweat of our kids' back.

1. O'Reilly is not a racist, he's had many blacks on his show!

He probably has even stated that he has many "black friends".

Like many a racist like to claim.
