Questlove Responds to Bill O'Reilly For Remarks About Slavery

At the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia Monday night, first lady Michelle Obama gave a rousing speech. Her remarks were poignant and full bodied, but one statement in particular managed to rile up Fox News host Bill O'Reilly. 

The statement—“I wake up every morning in a house that was built by slaves”—irked the pundit, compelling him to offer a riposte on his program Tuesday night. O'Reilly sought to lambast Obama with historical hindsight, telling his viewers “Slaves that worked there were well fed and had decent lodgings provided by the government.”
