Rep West hosts Conservative Black Forum at the Capitol

[NitimurInVetitum7]

I'm a black conservative, but it's hard to take this forum seriously when you've got this woman running the show like some kind of nervous mammy.And why praytell was there a jewish guy on the panel?I'm sure he's a good guy and all, but what's the point?It was silly.Then there were two panalist who experienced "flight complication",please it sounds more like they were on the proverbial cp time.The only one who had anything interesting to say was David Clarke and he was marginalized smh.

[necrotyk1985]

@NitimurInVetitum7 I want to ask your opinion on something. I've seen a guy on youtube repeatedly calling West an uncle Tom and behaving as if most if not all of blacks were democrats. So your unbiased opinion( because I cannot trust a democrat to give me that) is is Allen West really indicative of black conservatives ( as in do you also see him as an uncle Tom) And is this really the opinion of most blacks when they do see a black conservative.

[danseman1]

I need a little help. KCarl Smith made some good points but speaks a little too fast for me. What did he say was the first point of being a Frederick Douglas Republican stated at 31:36???

[StTigray1]

To be a Republican in the early 2000's made sense now a Blk Republican that does not call the party to task on racism is nothing less than being an Uncle Tom. I would like for someone to tell me another way around Republican racism. Now listen I voted for Bush twice and Im a veteran a republican since college. I did not necessarily want to vote independent or not cast my vote, but I am to proud and have served my country too well to let some out and out racist get my vote.

[ElCangri137]

Allen West "must" be our first "full" Black President, holla!!!

[ElCangri137]

Only a naive idiot who has no clue of what is going on would not want to get rid of Obama. Only an idiot...

[ElCangri137]

CoastPirate is 8 years old I think...lol

[MAKAHAYAN]

>>> IT IS NOT RACISM <<< MOST OF THE PEOPLE WE ARE IN CONTACT WITH WHO OPPOSE obummer ARE BLACK . ALLEN WEST , REVEREND MANNING , ALAN KEYES , BRUCE STEADMAN , LUCAS SMITH , AND THE ENTIRE MEMBERSHIP OF THE CONSERVATIVE BLACK CAUCUS ARE OPPOSED TO obummer .

[billybob101013]

alot of the male uncle tom will suck a redneck penis to be part of the uncle tom life

[Puckyoutwo1]

When Jesus challenged the power structure and told them they way they handled things was wrong, they killed him. America has the same mindset. You treat the constitution as if it were the Bible. Flawed men wrote it. So it is possible that the constitution is a flawed document. The founding fathers were great men I am sure. But I am also sure that they were flawed.

[Puckyoutwo1]

For people to say that you hate the constitution means that you hate America is senseless. I can hate what you do without hating you. I can hate what you stand for and not hate you. Your problem is that most conservatives feel personally threatened when anybody challenges your position. The only way I can be friends with you is to believe what you believe. And I can't have a mind of my own and be your friend.

[Puckyoutwo1]

Secondly America needs a fundamental change. In order for people to grow they must change. And it is America's inability to see a need of change in itself which if not careful we be it's downfall. America is corrupt, it is run by a few wealthy people who live on the backs of the poor. America needs a fundamental change!!!

[Puckyoutwo1]

It is amazing to me how people worship the founding fathers, when the fact is that most of them if not all of them were slave owners at that time. It is also amazing to me that people worship the constitution, because when it was written black people were considered 3/5 human. So when the constitution was written the people who wrote it did not consider black people to be fully human, therefore in their minds we had no God given rights.

[jujuzmama]

run for president!!!!!!

[easyway2001]

You niggers are sick but you are not Pedos To catch a predator

[Puckyoutwo1]

By the way get your facts straight. Dr. King was not a Republican. The truth is he avoided all partisan identification. Dr. King did not endorse party. He endorsed principle.

[Puckyoutwo1]

As far as Allen West is concerned. He is not a racist. He is a puppet of the racist system. He is brilliant like you suggest. He is intelligent. But he is a brilliant and successful puppet. The system pulls the strings and he dances. He is what is known as a field Negro. Whatever his master says is his truth.

[Puckyoutwo1]

I would say that your argument would be valid, if the system was FAIR. What you fail to acknowledge is that the system is not fair. And unless you have been victimized by it, then you can't relate to it. Again don't make a judgment until you have lived with the people who experienced it.

[Puckyoutwo1]

By the way I don't need any excuse, because I am successful. It seems to me that if I assumed that you live in a wealthy community, you also assumed that I came from a poor one. So both of us are making assumptions. It may surprise you to know that I believe in personal responsibility. So be clear. I am not talking about me. I have done well with no government help at all. I am saying something more profound than that.

[Puckyoutwo1]

It seems to me that you are so blinded by your racism that you've lost your ability to think logically. So rather than deal with reason, you tell me to Get the hell out. But when you're blinded by your own racism that is how you think.

[Puckyoutwo1]

Are you saying that people who disagree with America's policy does not support it? Just help me be clear. It sounds like you are saying that anybody who seeks to challenge not to mention correct it's policies does not love the country. If you have a friend and the friend is going wrong, you would not be much of a friend to see them going wrong and not call him or her on it.

[EffieReal]

@Puckyoutwo1 Understanding the differences between foundational principles of American and mere "policies" is part of the problem. America is based on God given rights, including life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. The Constitution is our contract with our government to secure these rights, establish justice, ensure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense and promote the general welfare. The "policies" are anti American principals therefore, no, the do not love America. 1/2

[EffieReal]

@Puckyoutwo1 This is why the basic rhetoric of the progressive is about "change" they want to "fundamentally transform" America. They want to tear it down and build a Marxist-esque version in its place. Conservatives are giving them too much grace when the try to argue the Constitution. Obama and Ruth Bader-Ginsburg have made it clear, they do not love our Constitution. Look up her recent comments in Egypt. Its a scandal.

[EffieReal]

@Puckyoutwo1 Another thought, as far as the Repubs, many are just as much in the Constitution-destroying "progressive" camp as most Dems nowadays. So I don't confuse the terms "conserv" and "Repub". Another mistake made by the conservs is thinking that they can educated the Dems enough to understand the Constitution and stop trying to demolish it. They already understand it. They hate it. Therefore, they hate America. Many Dems don't agree with the extremist leftists, but they are ignored.

[LoveBringsTruth]

Allen West, Texas loves you. you're always welcome.

[Puckyoutwo1]

By the way. It is easy for you to stay in your pristine neighborhood and talk about the freedom and opportunity that America offers. If you believe that come to my neighborhood. Let me drive you around. Let me introduce you to my people. See how they live and let them tell you what about the "freedom and opportunity that America offers. If you can't do that, then you are not serious!!!

[TheMunchkin44]

@Puckyoutwo1 You assume I come from a good place...now who is being racist? Just because I support someone with these beliefs does not mean I come from anything close to wealthy! Look at how many people in this world can make themselves successful just by trying! You use growing up in your neighborhood as an excuse and you hide behind it! Don't you want better for yourself? You work hard to get to where you want to be! Only you can change things for yourself!

[Puckyoutwo1]

By the way. Didn't Mr. West just tell everybody who does not carry the same message that he carries, and who does not agree like him to "Get the Hell Out of the U.S.A." What do you call that?

[TheMunchkin44]

@Puckyoutwo1 Yes he did! Why would you want anyone who doesn't support his or her country to be in this country? Espescially our leaders who don't support our country! We have also NEVER had another President take as many vacations and apologize to other countries about the country he leads! I agree...you don't like it here GET THE HELL OUT! See how long any of you last in another country!! USA is my home and I love it here! Why should I for one second feel bad about that?

[Puckyoutwo1]

Your tired of being called racist. I am tired of you supporting racist policies.

[TheMunchkin44]

@Puckyoutwo1 How is Allen racist? He's black? And let's not forget Martin Luther King Jr. was also a Republican!

[TheMunchkin44]

I am so tired of being called racist because I believe in our freedom and the opportunity our country has to offer. Allen West is a brilliant man! Just because he doesn’t want to give everyone a hand out (white, black or purple) doesn’t mean he or the rest of us who share in his beliefs are even a little racist! You work hard for the things you want in this life & shame on any of you who just want take from the hard working people! America is the land of opportunity, not the land of the lazy!

[Puckyoutwo1]

You can't connect your principals back to the black community. Conservative principals are largely racist and bigoted policies. Consequently Allen West and all his ilk are nothing more than a field Negro apologist for Republican Racist policy.

[rollhard6]

Col West has 200 times more experience being a leader than obama could ever dream of having. I second Col. West for President 2016 or 2020. I don't think Romney is going to get the job done right if he wins in November but he'll be better than obama.

[mtnfordman]

I agree with DaylesPoppy and TheCoastalPirate .

[jackofclubz]

28:08 - 30:54 JC. Watts just said it all right there. Stop saying crazy shit.

[jackofclubz]

Of they want to get more black votes get your other Republican pals to stop saying and doing racist shit. Period.

[Stunr99]

This room is the real hope and change for Black People.

[ProlefeedTV]

Does he still think he has a higher security clearance than the president?

[certifiedhustla713]

one big room full of uncle toms...sad

[Stunr99]

@certifiedhustla713 Wow... you're sad.

[Stunr99]

@certifiedhustla713 Keep letting the gov't and democrats brainwash you and hold you down.

[ericcontroversy]

@certifiedhustla713 uncle toms? why u call them that?

[adolfarrakahane]

this guy west is definitely presidential material but i think the left would rather see the world end than have the first good black president be republican

[crookhunter]

Rep.Tim Scott rules!

[crookhunter]

I like the guy a lot but how many people know that West voted with the liberals to raise the debt ceiling?

[DaylesPoppy]

Star Parker should have her own show on Fox.

[portorock123]

I'm a conservative Puerto Rican American and this was GREAT.. Should of had all republicans at least sitting in listening

[TheCoastalPirate]

Btw Star Parker is a knock out

[DaylesPoppy]

I wish he would run to, he is a leader and tells it like it is. VP Allen West.

[TheCoastalPirate]

I wish Col. West would run for president

[tillman40]

@TheCoastalPirate the party blew it years ago..they didn't get behind Allen during his first campaign..he would have had the noteriatey and been ready to run by now...but the effect is we are left with broken parts for 2012...

Allen will be ready by 2016..but what will the country be like by then? Will we be 20 trillion in debt by then?

[TheCoastalPirate]

@tillman40 You hit the nail on the head. The GOP should have gotten behind Col. West. And if Col. West decides to run, we both know what the MSM will do; they will try to destroy him like they do with every black conservative.

As for 2016, if Obama is reelected I shudder to think what this country will be like. I think it will be a lot higher than 20 trillian

[DaylesPoppy]

@TheCoastalPirate I have called his office several times and he will not run. He is what this country needs, I hope he is considered for VP by the GOP nominee. This man is a gift to the GOP, if they are smart enough to see it.

[TheCoastalPirate]

@DaylesPoppy That's too bad but I don't blame him. The media would tear into him. They hate, absolutely hate black conservatives. But I'm sure Col. West could handle them. As president he could show Obama how a real president runs the country. I hope some day he will change his mind.

[DaylesPoppy]

@DaylesPoppy that is the serious problem. If this is what the GOP has to offer us we are in trouble. American can not take four more years of Obama.

[billybob101013]

@TheCoastalPirate your right uncle toms make good pets we need more uncle toms to train like West

[billybob101013]

@TheCoastalPirate not one of those uncle toms will say anything bad about Rush there so scared

[copycat042]

@TheCoastalPirate AMEN!

[billybob101013]

@TheCoastalPirate come to earth the GOP is racist it will never happen

[TheCoastalPirate]

@billybob101013 Look it up and see who started the KKK. Look up who voted for civil rights and who didn't. Look up why the GOP started, it was over slavery. The democrats are the most racist people in the world.

[billybob101013]

@TheCoastalPirate asians latino's blacks an all people of color see the GOP is racist now in the year of 2012 we dont have to go back in time to see your racism now ,the proof is a black democrats president, the GOP will never let that happen facts hurt

that herman cain blamed rick perry for the whores coming out an said race had something to do with it

[billybob101013]

@TheCoastalPirate 2012 is now an the kkk is the GOP

[DavKellar]

@billybob101013 Stop dodging history and facts. Planned Parenthood alone is full proof that the Democrats want to lower the black population.

[cityshots]

Allen, the RSLC sure could have used your blab in Charleston....yea real excitement there....
