Fox news anchor Bill O'Reilly got into a very heated discussion earlier this week when covering the topic of race in America. 

The issue has become the central point of discussions there recently in the wake of the shooting in North Carolina that claimed nine lives, and while discussing that issue, O'Reilly invited Kirsten Powers, a fellow Fox analyst on the show to talk about it. 

The conversation got heated pretty quickly as O'Reilly accused her of saying that "most Americans" were racist, and he didn't take too kindly to being asked how many black friends he had. 

Suffice to say that it made for good TV, but it will probably be pretty awkward in the Fox canteen for the rest of the week.
