i am eric bolling with greg gutfeld, dana perino, andrea tantaros, and bob beckel. this is "the five." race relations in america. strained? derailing, improving? bill o'reilly has been fired up over the race debate. we have some of that tape in a minute. first, when eric holder and president obama went there last week, like it or not, they added fuel to the fire. i suggested they picked at our highly sensitive race scab, bob disagreed. but what is the state of race in america? not good if you believe yvette clark, dem from new york, black caucus spokesperson.

>> it may seem that african-americans and other minorities achieved full equality in our civil society. profiling, in violation of our laws and our morals. the lives of black men and women are not accorded the same value as the lives of white americans. this is a reality for far too many black americans. >> wait a minute. america treats people equally. we have a black president, europe even has never had a black president nowhere. no other country on the planet offers the kind of opportunities this great nation affords all its citizens, regardless of race. so who are the real race baiters? sometimes those crying the foulest are the worst. president obama was going to be the first post racial president. then this all starts up. he, holder, now the cdc

spokesperson. >> felt good to get your black president, say good, we have a black problem. this is what this woman said. one thing i agree with, one i don't. she talks about black people being profiled, whether it is in their cars, walking through stores, when they're followed around, all they want to do is shop. any number of -- the idea that somebody could believe there's no racism in america is silly. she said blacks are not of equal value as whites, i don't agree, i think they are accorded that. but the idea that racism is not around in america is crazy. >> go around the table. do you honestly believe president obama was racially profiled and followed in stores? >> sure. >> when? >> i don't know, he said it, i believe him. >> did they racially profile you? >> when he was at columbia or -- i don't know. greg? state of race in america. >> there's one country where race, they have absolutely no racial problems at all. they have no racial strife, no

dependen dependency, the military in america, where discipline is married to results without a free pass and it works. and i'm not suggesting we should militarize america. yes, i am. we need a draft and need to draft everybody. seems to be the only way to make this disappear. we talk about black versus white. there's a much bigger world of discrimination going on, and it is the attractive versus the ugly. we sit here and talk about there are beautiful black people, beautiful white people. it is ugly people left behind. frankly somebody has to speak up for them. and it might be me. >> what about short people? >> i have given up on that. we are the lowest on the rung. >> you're an attractive people person, right? >> one of the few attractive that will stand up for ugly people. >> both camps, the shortest and

the ugliest. >> you know, you are ugliest. >> dana, bring us back to president obama, eric holder and the congressional black caucus. are things getting better? >> i think there's no question. president obama said this in his speech friday. things are a lot better than they used to be, like bob, when your dad was fighting the civil rights movement, fighting over the ability for people to sit in the same restaurant together. so we have moved on, and everything is relative. i disagree on the value of life because remember the gosnell trial, this was the abortion clinic trial in philadelphia where that gosnell ended up getting life in prison for committing those murders. the outrage that's coming for the children, the babies, the life, and i think perhaps getting past that and feeling like life is not valued, then she could channel some of that energy and passion she had there to get some other things done.

i'm going to add one other thing. i don't think it is just in the military where you have some equality and people working extra hard. look at academia. certainly there's a place where there's increased equality. however, when you look at how many african americans graduate from high school compared to hispanics and whites, the number is not good enough, and i think that's where if we focus on that for all our sakes, it would be -- >> i disagree. >> let's get andrea in. >> i'm sorry, i was too busy hearing how much he hates children. >> can you answer the question? state of race in america. >> i think her statement would have been accurate a couple decades ago. at one point in time she's absolutely right. however, that has changed. i think as a nation we have gone out of our way to overcompensate for those grievances. there was a supreme court case on this a couple weeks ago where

they looked at saving special seats for minorities, giving them this opportunity over white kids. how much is that fair. i think that any time you have one race or even a gender, say women, pushing to be better or get special treatment, you're going to have real problems in society. is this really about equality, eric, or is it about special treatment? >> i'm not sure. it is about making sure there's a continued racial divide. in politics it works, especially for democrats. >> you are suggesting it is good to have racial divide? >> 90 plus percent. >> you think we sit around in the democratic party and want to have racial division? >> i do, yes. >> for people that did that for my dad and myself went down to register blacks in the south,

wanted people to have equal chance, we didn't want divide, we wanted opportunity. >> it is different, bob, contemporary liberalism. i wanted to disagree about the academic piece. the media is responsible for racial division, they teach race warfare in classrooms. they have studies that tell you that the west sucks and also when you look at the college dropout rates, it is not helping minorities when they go to these colleges and take these crappy classes. racial warfare is the crack cocaine of cnn, msnbc, most college campuses. >> without a high school diploma. >> i am for the high school thing. >> not fair to generalize. i also feel there's a number in the black community feel they're lumped in with others in the black community and it is unfair. some blacks i talk to say look, i work hard, it is not fair to generalize all african americans. bob, the same with democrats.

you're not like that at all. but what we see often times, members of the democratic party, sharptons, jesse jacksons that perpetuate the racial division that's so destructive. >> to make an obvious point, i give a lot of grief to congressional black caucus for having one point of view at the table, it is liberal, it is not black, it is liberal. at the same time, we are talking about it, there's five white people here. and fox should be hiring more black conservatives. they need to be here, they need to be everywhere. >> they do when they come across. >> that's fair and balanced. >> there are very successful blacks in america. i remember having a fight literally, almost a fight with jesse jackson about when jackson was complaining about in the minority communities the store at the end of each block was owned by jews, 40, 50 years ago. that's where we got ripped off. then the koreans came in.

i said jessie, why doesn't somebody black buy that store, why not. >> access to capital. >> he couldn't make that argument, i knew he had access to capital. >> last night, talking to one of the leaders in the african-american movement, community. listen. >> we both want the same thing. you and i want the same thing. we want civility, safety, and prosperity for all americans. particularly those who are disadvantaged. >> absolutely. >> but i'm telling you that there's a hustle in the civil rights industry, a grievance industry that makes a lot of money off division, and it is not being challenged by anybody but me. i am taking a lot of heat doing it. last word. >> bill, let me say this, americans do have an opportunity

to express themselves, to express their grievances against the government, against the nation, but we also have a responsibility to work to find common ground. you and i need to talk more because i'm sure we can find common ground. i think when people talk, they can find common ground, if we agree. >> lot of people dying while the chatting is going on. we appreciate you coming on. you're welcome any time you want to come on the broadcast. >> all right, bob. >> well, me, i -- >> he is the only one talking about it. the only one. >> i want bill to know, i can't be more excited of the fact he is taking this on by himself. bill o'reilly doesn't know anything more about being in the black community than anybody that's not been there. >> that's not what he is saying. >> he says there's a hustle in the race community. >> let's go back to the night before when he did his talking points memo which ended up being the most watched talking points memos ever, one of the most popular, most talked about.

what he did through his platform, which is considerable, he said all right, i'll be the one who says some things that are uncomfortable to say in polite society that you don't want to necessarily bring up. i think what he did on that night was very successful. mark moriel, good point, let's get together, talk about it some more. i think what o'reilly was, he ripped the bandaid off, and the sore underneath. >> he said we will talk, people die. >> that's not what he said. he said while we're talking, all these young black americans are dying in the urban centers because of policies we've had in place are not working and that need to be changed. >> can i point something out, when bill o'reilly pointed it out, talk about what's going on, we have been talking about this a long time. president obama injected race into the argument, into the debate. he injected it when it wasn't there, according to trayvon martin's family, according to the state prosecutor, according to the defense.

the trial wasn't about race. president obama and eric holder brought it in. instead of doing that, lead out of it, instead of inject more. >> it triggered a debate on race we have not been willing to have in this country. >> you're right. why? because every time somebody says we need to have a conversation about race, the translation is we must agree with you about it. if you were to talk about families, self reliance, that's construed as racist, expecting normal behavior is construed as bigoted who make a living off this. >> people are scared, and it is not just those that are black, people in the black community don't want to speak up like bill cosby. juan williams echoed what bill o'reilly said, gave great advice not just for blacks, but also for whites, wait to get married, don't have kids out of wedlock, it is the fastest path to

poverty. eric holder and barack obama had every opportunity afforded to them. president obama's black father left him when he was two years old. his white mother raised him. he had every opportunity to go to school. yet he identifies with his father. he has an opportunity to step up as a role model because he is one and he should and he's missing his moment. >> he understood his life to be a black man in america at certain times with undercurrent of racism. >> the time has passed. >> no, it has not. >> leaving it there. when we come back, carlos danger, aka, anthony weiner, promises to stay in the new york mayoral race. his press conference next. ♪ [ male announcer ] the mercedes-benz summer event is here. now get the mercedes-benz you've always dreamed of. but hurry...because a good thing like this won't last forever.
