Mark Thompson, radio host, talks about African Ancestry Experience

[atheistasylum]

These are some good looking american Black people. He doesn't look like an african to me.

[perp33]

Love ya Mark,. I listen to your show every day. Keep up the fight!

[DivaBeryl]

Bg4skyline is a hater. So sad.

[redstatepariah]

@DivaBeryl You are such a simpleton. Go read a book, get a heart, get a life. The era of misanthropists is winding down.

[DivaBeryl]

@redstatepariah - I'll stack my accomplishments, life, IQ, degrees, and FICO against yours any day. You need God to purge you of your hate.

[bg4skyline]

Marc Thompson proudly has joined the ranks of notable race pimps like Sharpton, Jackson and Farakan. It is sad because this man isn't as stupid as he sounds. But, he has been COMPLETELY co-opted be the whining, sophist, professional left.

[atheistasylum]

@bg4skyline He's into that preacher racket.

[CushiticSomalianMale]

that sista Look Somali, while her paps, look south african, anyways its good to see she knows both sides of her african ancestry including her Somalian side.... Blessssssss

[extraterrestrialbibi]

@CushiticSomalianMale yeah she does probably hausa,fulani, somali or ethiopian ancestry

[CushiticSomalianMale]

@extraterrestrialbibi

yea thats right but to be more Specific she is Soomali, and if you watched this clip then u would have heard this lighterskinned paps of the girl say that she is half Somal, and her other half is offcourse afri-american.. so she is NOT hausa fulani or ethtopi... she is Somal, eats african cushite on her maternal/mothers side.... anyways its all bless and unity, HOTEPeace

[PaulFaciolo]

Nice suit, rube.

[Twinkles5927]

I am deeply sadden by the negativity, hatred and ignorance that a proud black man evokes from those who resist the truth, resent truth. and are frightened by truth! This man and his beautiful daughter should pose no threat to anyone . Why can't we all embrace our heritage without trying to denigrate others! Slavery was an atrocity! Its ramifications persist in the daily lives of people of color! Those who deny the truth only delude themselves! Unite world, we are all we have!

[bastiat6865]

@Twinkles5927

As I have discovered directly in my personal life, truth attracts hostility in the pool of ignorance.

[gregorio0321]

if his daught somli. she is anicent is that close to the eygptian and ethopian right..

[CushiticSomalianMale]

@gregorio0321

well common sense tells us, reason this girl looks kinda ancient egyptian like a.k.a Kemetic-Somali-like is be cause 1 of her parent is from africa(Somalian coast of east Africa) so thats why like me she looks Kemetic, whilst her paps looks rather south african yellowbone-like.... so thats wasup

[smoot0420]

i love this guy. he's always a good for a great laugh while sitting in traffic. i'm so glad i found him on Sirius radio. His points of view rarely contain facts or susbtance. Mostly just babble based on emotional and racial feelings. When a guest with a diiferent viewpoint is intellectually superior to him, which happens often, he shouts them down with the good old fox news, right wing supporter garbage. He's a treasure to listen to and proof than any dumbass can have his own talk show.

[Beesahili]

@kirra77,Nice vidClip!I guess udon't get what was never taught!During the charteredSlavery 15-35yrs old were captured to an extent that there were no work force for350yrs!Abolition ofSlavery was direcly followed by partion of Africa"COLONIZATION"!Slavery was stopped not on moral grounds but b'cos of Ind.Revolution!Rawmaterials were needed so they went back for them.Until 1960's.The Africans in the colonies worked&die inWWII forEurope!No CONTINENTcan develop that fast in50yrs starting from zero!

[Beesahili]

Thanks,Ur speech was almost perfect,except for the continous use of the word TransAtlanticSlaveTRADE!In fact NO TRADE took place!In was a CAPTURE!Just one hint,if u go back in history theEuropeans were very articulate,accurate& precise in jotting in their ledgers theprices of slaves in every slavemarket in the Americas.This seems to be nonexistant when one looks up for the prices of slaves bought(cost prices)!Euro-Slavery of thePacific Islanders shows where Maoris complain of the same capture!

[kirra77]

OMG, 2:17 " all the science and technology that we have today began there" in Africa? This propaganda is poisonous. It`s like these people are begging to go back to that great land and can`t get a ride. A place of glory and greatness. These ideals are being used to brainwash innocent children. Can you not be forward thinking? Can you not overcome adversity if you are so strong and proud? Prove it. You have failed so far.

[thekabn]

@kirra77 Nah, Images of "white jesus" is what brain washes these kids. And that image is ten times more dangerous to black kids than ganster rap.

[kirra77]

Nice Jacket, I feel bad that you were "kidnapped" from your homeland.

I am sure if you were there today you might be employed at the African Space Program or one of the many African automobile makers factories. The African stock market is always in need of berry counters. I am sorry you were robbed of that life. While current immigrants from African would kill to be in the shoes you wear in the U.S. You self loathing miserable piece of trash. Go talk to my friend from Ghana and be humbled.

[youngbuck189]

@kirra77 You have no idea what you talkin bout fool bitch. you the trash round here.

[forevah]

@vittoriostoraro

Like I said previously; I am not trying to persuade you to change your beliefs, perceptions, stereotypes about Black/African people. I am also not here to sugarcoat historical facts that may make you feel guilty. You typed some errors about no written civilizations in Africa. I pointed out some examples to you. Just disprove them if I am wrong. That's all. Mark doesn't need me to defend him. Your constitution has the 1st amendment. Mark is expressing his, you can also do that.

[vittoriostoraro]

He is on the RADIO, yet he cannot form a meaningful or coherent sentence. thats Mark "Token" Thompson for you.

[cloudbrent]

This damn idiot is such a racist N!gger. He calls every caller a biggot. No one is more racist than this fat POS!

[sexycarln]

But for those callers who have a brain make sure you get ready for the usual liberal talking points which consist of: "are you a republican?" "you must watch FOX?" (meaning that he has no response to your sane comment or fact.) "OOOOOO!!! Wait, did you hear that? (as he insinuates that you are a racist because you just criticized Obama).

[US13100]

@sexycarln You should have heard what this buffoon said about Juan Williams and Clarence Thomas last week, he and his idiot supporters called them Uncle Toms and sellouts, only because both Juan and Mr. Thomas think of themselves first as Americans, because they are. As a black man myself, I feel nothing but embarrassed when I hear Mark Thompson talk like that.

[sexycarln]

I listen to it every day so that i can hear his racist rants, his insane liberal callers (mainly that nutcase Paul) and those who call in and make more sense than the host does.

[sexycarln]

His insane logic behind this one is that black people have never been slave owners (how about Africa in the early 1800's?). He believes that the Arizona bill is racist because it insinuates that cops can stereotype Mexicans and arrest them. Even thought the bill states that the only way an officer can ask someone for papers is if they have reason to believe that they committed another crime. 

[sexycarln]

I love listening to this guy. Just to give you an idea of how crazy this guy is: He believes that no matter how dependent we are on oil that we should stop drilling everywhere. He believes that FOX new is bias (which it is), but PMSNBC is not. He believes that the majority of white people are racist, but black people cannot be racist.

[Stopandthinkforamin]

@sexycarln - I totally agree with every one of your comments!!! Mark is a huge racist and a liar. He is a so-called minister? Of what religion? He passes judgement on everyone that has their own opinion and hangs up on anyone that has common sense. He is a FRAUD!

[calcort]

Church minister???? Calls people fools, riduculing anyone with whom he disagrees. Yeah, this guy is Christ like.

[vittoriostoraro]

This guy is a sub-verbal Afrocentrist MORON. I can't tolerate listening to his show for more that 10 minutes. And for the last time: EGYPTIANS WERE NOT AFRICANS !

Africa: Cradle of civilization WITHOUT a written Language. "Mark Thompson" is a true idiot propagandist.

[forevah]

@vittoriostoraro

You said "Africa: Cradle of civilization WITHOUT a written Language. "Mark Thompson" is a true idiot propagandist."

When Europeans teach, write or explain African history, they do it with bias & hatred. They ignore & discredit anything that is in Africa. If you read about Timbuktu, you will know that the people there built one of the first universities in the world. FACT!!!

Most African civilizations & societies were destroyed & burnt down during European invasions. Cont...

[vittoriostoraro]

@forevah

"FACT !" ... It MUST BE, because YOU say. As Hitler said: "The size of the lie is a definite factor in causing it to be believed, for the vast masses of a culture are in the depths of their hearts more easily deceived than they are consciously and intentionally bad. The primitive simplicity of their minds renders them a more easy prey to a big lie than a small one, for they themselves often tell little lies,

but would be ashamed to tell big lies."

[forevah]

@vittoriostoraro

Unfortunately, I don't speak racial rhetoric or bigotry; & I cannot comprehend the racial insults that you type. It doesn't bother me. I also can't understand why someone who disagrees bitterly with Mark Thompson continuously listens to him on the radio then bother himself to find Mark's clip on the net to express his bigotry. I'm not trying to convince you to change your beliefs about Black/African people, I just want you to dispute facts. I will repeat my comments for you.

[vittoriostoraro]

@forevah

Racial bigotry ? Look to yourself. I suppose it OK to be Racist as long as your targets are "WHITE". (As if ALL "WHITES" has the same heritage and culture) It is YOU who need to read a few books.

[forevah]

@Ravenclaw07

'From what you have been told," How about from what I have lived and experience in Africa & in Europe. I understand where you're coming. You won't be able to witness these things because of your status as a white person. If you do a little more research, you will discover it.

[forevah]

@Ravenclaw07

I don't believe in "human race & classification" coined by the French man Francois Bernier. That's the job of the white/European supremacists. I don't believe in any hogwash black supremacist neither. All are human beings & their shit stinks regardless of their beliefs. You're interpreting my comments wrongly. No one is blaming anybody even though Black/African people can. Mark is clearly explaining history. You would prefer him to sugar coat it so you won't feel guilty.

[forevah]

@Ravenclaw07

The Africans in that region for centuries had known it as "Great Zimbabwe" from the kingdom of Zimbabwe. The stones are still there for excavation. The Europeans came in & did the unthinkable. They occupied the territory, drove out the Africans then renamed the place Rhodesia after a British man called Cecil Rhodes. Now they claim from that region. Is that not manipulation African history? Is that justice? Dispute it. The same goes for South Africa. Europeans occupied & claimed it.

[forevah]

@Ravenclaw07

You are here typing your jargon when you don't know jack. Look at Nigeria. Its an artificial country like most African countries. Before Europeans invaded & colonized it, the different ethnic groups with the different languages numbered over 500 were all living independently from each other. Greed made the Europeans to forced all these ethnic groups together, split local tribes, & drew borders in btw them. Some these ethnic groups now found themselves in different countries.

[forevah]

@Ravenclaw07

Then after coercing the Yourbas, Igbos, Hausas, Ijaws, Efiks, etc into one country, the British declared English as their national language. The Europeans did this to most African countries. Is that Manipulation of African history? That is why their many civil wars in Africa. Imagine the English putting the French, Germans & Spain as one country then the Lingua Franca becomes English. That country will explode. This is what the Europeans did in Africa, "divide & conquer.

[forevah]

@Ravenclaw07

You sit down behind your computer to type nonsense that Africans who were slaves in the Americas should blame Arabs. Was it the Arabs that held them in captivity, made them work on farms from dusk till dawn, whipped them till their skin broke & their bones became visible, nailed there lips to prevent communication, build there infrastructures, kidnapped their babies, & wiped out there history, etc for over 300 years in the Americas? Dispute it. Black/African history must be told.

[forevah]

@Ravenclaw07

Here you go again with this race & blaming white/European thing. There is a difference btw talking about Black/African history in the Americas & blaming white/European people. You don't get it. No historian will sugarcoat black/African history in the Americas in order to prevent white/Europeans descendants not to feel guilty. Today's European descendants are a beneficiary of black/African slavery. You may have forgotten that a civil war was fought to end slavery in the U.S.

[forevah]

@Ravenclaw07

The north whooped the south's butt in that war and kept the country together. Like I said, I don't believe in race. The French man Francois Bernier invented Racism. Where are humans racing too? What a load of rubbish. Yet, it is practiced to the T by Europeans/Whites. You can avoid seeing or hearing Africans/Black people discuss their history, but you choose not to. Its a bitter history & they must discuss about it. They are not hurting anyone. Live & deal with it.

[forevah]

@Ravenclaw07

You have a thing for birds. You should learn to be a gentle dove. Question, why haven't millions of black/African people gone out their way to hurt European/white people? Because Black people have put history behind them. A lot Europeans/Whites are very anti-social, stereotypical & extremely fearful of black people. Is it guilty conscience? Why don't you go & investigate why instead of coming here to complain about black people discussing their history.

[forevah]

@Ravenclaw07

I could give you more than a millions reasons why black/African people can blame western Europeans for their atrocity for the last 400 years. Didn't the Europeans wipe of the history of slaves in the US? Didn't they persecute them if they were ever caught trying to read? Didn't the Europeans leave their tiny land mass & migrate to other continents( Americas, Australia, Africa, NZ etc) to occupy it? Didn't the European govts support slavery & colonialism for their survival?......

[forevah]

@Ravenclaw07

All that is in the past now. No one is blaming anybody anymore. What you are trying to do is to prevent people from speaking or knowing about their history because it makes Europeans & their descendants feel guilty. The Jews don't blame the Germans, but they are facing holocaust deniers right & left because Nazi sympathizers feel guilty. Does that mean they should stop talking about their history? Slavery, colonialism, racism happened (racism still happens). Deal & live with it.

[forevah]

@vittoriostoraro

E.g the Benin Kingdom was burnt down & destroyed after multiple attempts by the British empire to annex & colonized it. Similar things went on with the Ashanti Empire(Anglo-Ashanti war), Rwandan Kingdom, & the Kingdom of Zimbabwe (Great Zimbabwe), etc. Your fellow Europeans renamed it Rhodesia (Rhodes + Area= Rhodesia) after Cecil Rhodes who captured the territory for the British to colonized. The Africans gave it back its correct name, "Zimbabwe" after decolonization.

[forevah]

@vittoriostoraro

So read a book and stop being hateful and ignorant of the history of Black/African who don't look like you. By the way, I hope you never tell an educated Egyptian that he/she is not or were never Africans, they will spit your face. It will be a day you will never forget.

[vittoriostoraro]

@forevah

I've read more books than you ever will, I am quite sure of that. Your lack of Logic and attempts at Revisionist History are simply LAUGHABLE. Mark Thompson is STILL an IDIOT and a RACE BAITER who cannot form a coherent sentence. BTW, the EDUCATED EGYPTIANS I know would not SPIT in my face... by Rather LAUGH in YOURS at the suggestion that they are AFRICANS. Your NARROW, PATHETIC & COMPLETELY UNTRUE view of the world has done, and will continue to do you, no good.

[Ravenclaw07]

Thompson doesnt mention the Arab and other slave traders who were ahead of the Europeans in the human commodity department. He didnt bother to delve into the  tribal warfare in dark Africa that still goes on, the brutality, etc. He cherry picks info to promote *himself* and the history of African people to the U.S. public. He's a biased, anti-white, hypocrite. If you havent taken world history to check solid facts, Wiki's History of Slavery is on google. It's all there!

[Patriot3332]

When you listen to his show he sounds like "Uh uh, Yea yea yea yea uh uh yea yea yea uh uh." Dont listen to this clueless idiot.

[Budma30k]

Kidnapped my god who really knows where there from. I do not know one person who follows ,or cares to follow there family tree.

[mojoeshaw]

So this racist and anti-everything not black says he used an evil corporation to track his DNA. I thought all corporations are evil. I've never seen somebody that is such a wolf in sheep's clothing. He tries to seem intellectual by talking slowly and with thousands of dramatic pauses. He doesn't mind living in the America that the white people built but hates our founding fathers and our Constitution. He's a mythmaker and liar. He's hanged up on me because I defeated his argument easily!

[TheMikeBase]

holy shit you suffer to much now that you are able to use cloths and drive a car, ye without eh white ppl you would have lived happily forever in africa, there drugs isnt a problem at all atm. You have not sufferd a shit, the black ppl that lived for 120years ago sufferd, todays ppl does not suffer, they whine.

[epittmanjr]

I have known Mark since his DC days at WOL. His dedication to his cause in consistent. However, I often wonder how those of us who are mixed race can deny the white person within. I think it is misguided to promote anything except unity. The price of peace is forgiveness and tolerance. To look for racism in every action or utterance is giving others unearned power over ones emotions. It is time to stop singing the freedom songs and start the inclusion dialogue. There is good in all.

[cannoir]

@epittmanjr in the western world you are just black , deal with it.

[piricarmen]

Who are these ultra defensive people who come on here and basically act like teabagging fools. The key word is

D E F E N S I V E. I am sure that a few sayings/words could have been phrased more clearly and explanatorily. However, one must admit that others in the cultures in the world are often ignored or dominated by the "white, western, culture" Where others' histories are not as expounded upon as the European. There must be some way to change that. But don't get defensive just because.

[rfseatube]

Quite possibly the best radio talk show I have ever heard- Unfortunately only available on SiriusLeft- For the record; I can listen because I bought a Ford F350 SC with six months free Sirius; which is how I found MArk-

The racists are posting here because the show is THAT good aka Mark takes their calls and blesses them all!!!

RF in NH (Atheist/Agnostic) G♥d Bless You; Mark!

Excellent show; highly rec'd if you have $irius

[stefmon68]

I no longer listen to MIP. For the simple fact that Mark cannot control himself. It's embarrassing. A man of his intellect should be able to accept a contrary viewpoint without losing it and reducing himself to name calling and yelling over his callers. Just making it plain...

@phatxman4444 show some respect or else. Your ancestor aka " The devil" has cause world wide genocide and you the nerve to shit you scum of the earth. Anyway phatxman4444 Devil bless you and for the black brother with the Ebony Queen God bless you.

[phatxman4444]

Although your post reads like word vomit, I think I've deciphered what you've said. My ancestors, whom you've labeled 'The Devil,' caused "world wide genocide," and I am supposed to be remorseful for that. Someone clearly slept through their world history classes.

Clearly you didn't understand my post. Instead of re-explaining it I'll simply provide you with some advice. Go read a book you illiterate tool.

[TheSevenmind]

@phatxman4444 I am not your enemy but, your ancestor kill Native America from 60million to 800,000 destroy Africa through slavery, middle east for oil,a shame japan with atomic bomb, disorganized Africa American history and pay police will to commit genocide against them without getting criminal charge.

[phatxman4444]

Two things:

First, go look up genocide in a dictionary.

Second, cherry picking moments of moral awkwardness in American history has nothing to do with my original or previous posts.

Obviously English isn't your primary language so I'll take mercy on you and simply end with some advice: stop trolling youtube, you fail at it.

Salsassin strikes again. And what you call delusion stems from what?

[Salsassin]

Insecurity about their origins

[083770]

And whence, Salsassin, do you purport such insecurity stems?

[Salsassin]

Eurocentrism constantly feeding African Americans the idea that West African culture including stasis societies were somehow less. Yet this culture glorifies Native Americans for having lived in symbiosis with nature, much like many sub Saharan societies did. We see Native Americans, as heroic, and look down at African tribes as primitive.

the term personal responsibility rings up images of welfare queens and thugs on the street. why not disgraced politicians and crooked ceos? because the term is a part of a larger racist programming designed to skew opinions of us in a subliminal manner. hence the institutionalized racism. this is no crutch or excuse for personal failures, it's the reality that some failures are institutionally engineered. until you understand this concept, they will always be in control. peace.

almost every show he does has a racial aspect to it. Black vs White - White vs Black...day after day... it's such a tired subject. It's not like he's that good at being a talk host either.

By that I mean people who are no longer looking for a crutch or an excuse for their own failures.
