Last night on The O’Reilly Factor Bill O’Reilly asked new Fox News correspondent Santita Jackson about the dangers of the New Black Panthers calling for a “race war” as a reaction to the shooting of Trayvon Martin. MEDIAite reports:

With the Trayvon Martin case finally going to trial, the inflamed emotions of the nation were the top story on The O’Reilly Factor tonight, and after report on the current legal situation, Bill O’Reilly turned to new Fox News contributor Santita Jackson to discuss the reaction to the charges and the dangers of the New Black Panthers calling for a “race war.”

Tonight was Jackson’s debut on the Factor since hired by the network, so O’Reilly began the segment with a warm welcome to the radio host and daughter of Rev. Jesse Jackson. She reacted to the news of the charges, saying she didn’t “think anyone is happy,” only “glad to see the system of justice does work.” She did not think, as O’Reilly did, that those getting emotional over the story should give apologies outside of extreme cases, though. O’Reilly asked about “all these threats” and agitation from many, including Rev. Al Sharpton (he replied he didn’t include Rev. Jackson in that bunch.” She agreed there was “a lot of pain” and that must be understood.
