Fox News host Bill O’Reilly investigated the Black Lives Matter movement on “The O’Reilly Factor” on Tuesday night and found out Grammy winners Jay Z and Beyoncé are supporters.
This knowledge shocked him.
“Here are two extremely famous individuals,” O’Reilly said, to briefly explain the couple’s accomplishments. “Do you think they know they’re giving money to an anarchistic group like this that wants to tear down the country and talking about genocide, really extreme things?”
According to Forbes, Beyonce earned $115 million in 2014 and Jay Z earned $60 million. Reports in May said the power couple gave money to pay bail for Ferguson and Baltimore protestors.
“I don’t know if this crew, Black Lives Matter, have any constituency other than the radical Left, the real fringe nuts who run around the country saying crazy things,” O’Reilly said.
O’Reilly said he had invited Beyoncé and Jay Z to explain why they gave money to the movement.
“Do you think they know what they are doing?” O’Reilly asked.
Black Lives Matter has many famous friends, including fellow Grammy-winner John Legend and his wife supermodel Chrissy Teigen, who paid for food trucks for protestors in New York City following the deaths of Michael Brown and Eric Garner. Rapper Talib Kweli, who was in Ferguson following the decision to not indict police officer Darren Wilson, defended the movement from coverage on CNN in August.

OMG, there is hope to end racism in America! O’Reilly sees Jay Z and Beyonce’ as fellow rich people rather than blacks. He sees past their skin color to what matters–their wealth.
“Do you think they know what they doing?” says the completely cluless, racist blowhard. Maybe he can whitesplain it to them.
What I want to know is why O’Reilly believes that Black lives don’t matter…but I suspect that I know the answer to that.
O’Reilly’s unclear as to why anybody would care about anybody other than themselves, when it comes right down to it.
Anybody who’s not an IDIOT knows that Bill O’Reilly knows a lot more about being black than any of these black people do. OK? And you don’t agree I’LL SHOUT YOU DOWN and shut you up. Shut. Up. SHUT UP!!! We’ll do it live… WE’LL DO IT LIVE! FK IT! DO IT LIVE… look, I’ll write it and we’ll do it live! Fking thing SUCKS!
