"His Entire Existence Is 5 steps Backwards For Humanity" - Questlove On Bill O'Reilly

The Faces Of Roots Picnic 2016: Backstage Portraits By Shayan Asgharnia

This morning, Questlove took to his Instagram account to deliver a fiery and emotional retort to recent comments Bill O'Reilly made in response to First Lady Michelle Obama's Democratic National Convention address during one of his Fox News brainwash sessions. O'Reilly made light ofThe First Lady's claims of living in house built by slaves, responding with "Slaves that worked there were well fed and had decent lodgings provided by the government," seeming to imply that slaves didn't have too bad during their 300-year stretch as the backbone of American industry.

Questlove set the record straight and called to attention the fact that millions of people are continuously misinformed by O'Reilly's program, underscoring just how dangerous a man in his position with his nightly news slot can be. Read the full response down below and take heed to Questo's final call: "watch where you get your information from and the company you keep people."
