One of the reasons many black people are unemployed is they are "ill-educated and have tattoos on their foreheads," Fox News's Bill O'Reilly said. 

The comments came during an interview with Donald Trump on his show Monday night. 

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:

TRUMP: “Fifty-nine percent unemployment with people of prime age it’s much higher than.”
O’REILLY: “How are you going to get jobs for them. Many are ill-educated and have tattoos on their foreheads and I hate to be generalized about it but it’s true. If you look at all the educational statistics, how are you going to give jobs to people who aren’t qualified for jobs?”
TRUMP: “We’re going to bring jobs back. We have apple computers made in this country.”
O’REILLY: “But you have to have skills to make apple computers and educational system.”
TRUMP: “We will get the skills. We will develop the skills. We have incredible population. And they don’t have the jobs. Our good jobs are going to china. They are going to Mexico want every day.”
O’REILLY: “We know that. But it’s more challenging —“
TRUMP: “Wait a minute, Carrier and Nabisco and Ford and every company you can name, they are building in Mexico. They are not here because we have politicians that don’t know what they’re doing.”
O’REILLY: “I got it but it’s more challenging — look, when we drive up to Yankee stadium we go through Harlem, right? It’s more challenging for a poor child in without parental guidance in a school that’s falling apart than it is for some white kid out in garden city, all right? You say you can bring jobs back. But if the kid isn’t qualified to do the job and can’t do the work. You have got to get into the infrastructure of the African-American community. Do you have any plan to do that?”
TRUMP: “Well, it is true. And it’s about education. But it’s also about spirit. A lot of people don’t have spirit. Not only African-Americans, they don’t have spirit in our country. I mean, can I tell you plenty of white people that go to college, they borrow a lot of money, they get out and they can’t get a job.”
