  • What is this black republican talking about ? Why does he say free market principles and black people dont mix? Since when did economic theory have race attached to it? I didnt know economic theory only applied to certain races of people.

  • Where's the video of Cenk getting punked by the black Republican?

  • He is NEVER GOING TO BE PRESIDENT. The worst part is not that he is a republican. The worse part is that the republican party has not been good to African people and he still seeks their validation. That is like being a slave and not know you are a slave.

  • wat a sellout man. and im not saying that because he's sounds shite or w.e he just never gave a good opinion for supporting ppl who dont even like him.

  • Comment removed

  • To folks who have posted negative comments about the brother in the interview, wake up and grow up. You all have fallen into the trap that paints republicans as racists and black republicans as uncle toms. Do any of you know who started the KKK? It was the democratic party. They used the KKK to intimidate white republicans and blacks who were thinking about working with the republicans. Now let that one marinate for a while. We are conservative but vote liberal. Quite an oxymoron. You been had!

  • @gveezy21 To Hell with this Racist libtard asshole. He cheered on the Nazi-like thugs from SSEIU when they were stomping on Ken Gladney

  • i didnt know carlton banks went into politics!

  • this uncle tom thinks by kissing rednecks ass its going to get him in with the good old boy kkk clan what a pusssy

  • oh my god this poor sad hopeless pussy whiped uncle tom

  • what?

    this uncle tom puts his head in the ground so he wont see the turth about the GOP

  • More GOP racist parrotting from yet another useless uncle tom...

  • You can either join us and make things happen or you can sit on your ass and rely on the liberals to provide for you....

  • You libs are fucking retards and you black libs are slaves to the democrats...

    This is something I see and he sees... We dont want "free" gas, free mortgage etc, thats for lazy libtard sloths, we understand you have to be productive to make positive things happen.... You "slaves" understand this?

    Uncle tom this and that??? let me ask you racist black folks that rely on liberalism to give you free junk, what have you ever done to better your own damn situation??

  • WTF is this dude talking about in the beginning? A random black dude on crenshaw blvd. knows more than him!!!

  • Fucking Uncle Tom.

  • @Jujuman2003 fucking racist democrat

  • The words hip hop and republican don't go together. That's like saying Jew Nazi.

  • Once again fuckin hilarious. Mr. Turk became a democrat because 2 repbulicans made a joke about a black man. Umm wasn't Sn. Byrd a KKK member. Give me a fuckin break you douche bag, sterotyping rep. as racist is as ridiculous as youre rhetoric.

  • Yes!

    The southern dixiecrats.

    A few made the transition to the republican party.But the entire democratic

    party platform IS the essence of racism.

    How else would they spill over to the right.

    All platforms have racists,but I would rather support a party with a few misfits that can be weeded out,than one seeded with racism.

  • The educated vote?

    I believe you mean the electoral vote.

    Did you mention ignorance?

    Hmmm!

  • How ignorant the democrats are,that comment on the KKK. The KKK was established by the democratic party.

    But of course we don't expect a little research to be done from the left to find this out.I mean,if you can't read how can you do research.

  • Yes, the KKK was establish by the southern dixiecrats, who gasp! joined the Republican party after the civil rights act of 1964, you know the foundation of the modern day Republican party. Does southern strategy ring a bell?

  • Pretty intelligent guy.

  • Yea... I'm conservative and I really wish they didnt take this route. It just gives more ideas to people like the YoungTurks to make fun of Republicans.

    However, I do agree with the guy in the interview that music lyrics are WAAY out of line. Songs about rape and murder are songs that kids listen to, which isnt right.

  • Not supporting the republican party.

    You must wonder if after many years

    the black community can't adjust to freedom yet.We all need to remove the training wheels at some point.But until then, slavory under the liberal left is all

    most blacks are used to.

  • I don't see how anyone can support the Republican party at the moment, this aren't the Rockafeller GOP, this is a party of morons. It doesn't matter your race, no one should be supporting this fools.

  • Yeah!

    Sure.

    We know better than to support the evil,racist,radical,liberal left.The real morons are those who are so ignorant

    that they don't know politics,history,or basic english language.That is a sad fact

    of the left wing.However most on the left can't distinguish between Republican,

    and Conservative.Most on the left can't spell or read.They voted for the very same machine that keeps them in poverty.That's a level of self destrucive ignorance talked about when the left is mentioned.

  • Lmao, you do know Obama won the educated vote in a landslide, really you are just proving why most people think conservatives are stupid.

  • @FuckObamasMama i dont see the republican way helping the poor or middle class in any way. they want to tax the middle class more and the rich little to nothing how does that seem fare?

  • The democrats have done an outstanding job convincing the general public that all Republicans have to be white, male, big business: cold blooded people. It is simply not true. It is clearly in the interests of Democrats to keep the cry of racism alive and the people ignorant. It gives them more power to make people dependant on government for our basic needs, like energy, health care, jobs... Let us reject this notion and choose to empower people instead. Black Americans- lead the way!

  • This guy is the smartest republican I've ever seen. Too bad he's a fake with his "hip hop" republican BS.

  • Hip Hop Republicans - WTF man

    That is like say African American in support of the KKK

    This man needs to step back from the conservative cool aid.

    Yeah just what we need, more Black Republicans.

    After Hurricane Katrina it is over for the Republicans, just forget it.

    Blacks and Republicans don't mix, it is like oil and water.

    For the simple fact, that Republicans are racist at their core.

    Republicans = Racist and there are no two ways of cutting it.

  • hip hop republicans???how stupid can u ppl possibly be????

  • Brotha misspoke on and said vice president. it was a mistake and even Cenk didn't catch it. what else did he say wrong with the rest of the interview? stop hatin! this guy is in charlotte doing a lot for black people THE HIP HOP COMMUNITY folks that are getting killed n droppin out of school. we need more people speakin out like this n helpin out and bein a republicn don't matter with helpin people.

  • What's wrong with small government? What's wrong with true freedom...aka freedom from government control?

  • did he say barack obama has become the VICE presidential nominee?

  • poser. He knows nothing about the hip hop movement and what it was about. You guys used hip hop to prove to the black community that you have not sold all the way out. I'm sick!!!

  • republican hip hop? thats like Nazi hymns in a jewish synagogue.!!

  • HAHAHAHA, you ve got to have a lot of faith to stay with the republicans LOL ...

  • Yeah that's pretty much it.

  • African-Americans need to go back to the traditional Republican policies of Frederick Douglass (a Republican) and Abraham Lincoln (a Republican).

    Republican politics that existed before the "Southern Strategy" were different before the Southern Republican racists from the racist Democratic party infiltrated the Republican party.

    Learn your history! Republicans at one time were "the good guys" and Democrats were the party of the slaveholders.

  • yea but abraham only wanted to free the slaves becuz the south was getting free labor from the slaves meaning that the money they make has asset n the slaves themselves are assets too. Its basically the south had money currency that was backed with real assets n the north industrial companies were jealous of them getting real profits. north just wanted to screw them over. plus abraham broke the law n declared the civil war without congress consent which is unconstitutional.

  • Madison didn't speak out publicly against slavery and freed all of his. Jefferson spoke out and kept his.

  • Not anymore though.

  • HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA,

    Thay's all the GOP and DEM politicians laughing at how stupid the whole partisan red or blue "team" mentality is. The only real thing is that they are both robbing us all blind

  • so much better than te other guy

  • This guy is not HIP HOP!

  • yeah more like WIP WOP

  • Dude, republicans got one word for you...NIGGER!

  • @blacksnakethe1 Dude, ya should not fell asleep in History class. Reps oppose Black Gun Control laws, Jim Crow, Slavery,etc. Dems opposed anti-Lynching Laws, Women's rights and the Libtard slave master at YoungTurds have got you Bamboozled to think it was "their" party that "stood for Civil Rights and opposed the KKK. Nothing can be Further from the truth.

  • Did he just say Obama became the vice-presidential nominee? He may be smart..but he just pulled a Palin!

  • fuck that shit just works for rich ppl...beeing a republican...

  • Yup, and it's also sad that they pitch it as if Republican principles are the best for the country as a whole.

    Despite the fact that there are so many opinions that differ from theirs, the policies (Economic) they try to implement with that sentiment in mind are far worse for the country as a whole in comparison to a sound Democrat policy.

  • i love hip hop...but russell simmons just lost some credit from my part...they forget that they were poor once...and they are payed and still wont give nothing...fuck that shit...

  • America is great because of conservatism you fool not liberalism.. look at history who created it who made the way for the people to have the power who gave the bill of rights and who wrote the constitution of the united states of american christian anglo saxon .....thats right and we are great becuase of the great foundation.

  • Alright, if you insist.. if you insist.

  • Actually all those things were done by a bunch of progressive, liberal Americans. Conservatives opposed all those things. Liberals are about change and challenging the establishment for the better of the majority, not the privileged minority.

  • Wow, this guy is a thousand times better than the other two. You should just take off the other "video"..those last two were pathetic.

    No matter how Republican ideologies are presented, I still don't agree with them. =P

  • word lol

  • no.. they should leave it up..

    to be a contrast to this video, y'know?

    how to be a intellegent republican and how to be a violent one..

  • Valid point

  • This guy is 100 times better than the other two Hip Hop Republicans.

  • See now there a reasonable, thoughtful, republican with views I don't necessarily agree with, but understand where he's coming from. Why can't all republicans be like him?

  • obama crushed mcain yaaaaaaaaaaaaaay =]

  • There is an article out that Palin said that she did not have to hire blacks if she chose not to after being chastised by many black organizations. If this is true, I don't know McSame voted against the MLK holiday and now this with her. I don't know.

  • Oh, well there is a guy on Youtube who is an independent reporter that interviews some organizations that were predominately African American and he asked them why they felt Sarah Palin was discriminating against them and according to them, they said "Because I don't have to hire any." I will send you a link to the video later...

  • how can you call yourself a hip hop anything and know nothing about hip hop. this guy uses the word hip hop the same as all the other people who say it because they think it fits. hip hop does not just mean young and black. he generalizes things the same way as the rest of his party does but he wants to "change" it... ass

  • "Barak Obama has become the vice-presidential nominee because of the word 'change'--"

    Wait, what??

  • LOL @ this dude...hip hop republican....LOL He could have atleast said he liked Ludicris or even T.I.....LOL

  • this guy is a fucking idiot!!!

  • why is he an idiot? He clearly explained that the reason he is in the republican party is because he wants to change the views of republicans. Are you able to explain why this guy is an idiot?

  • McCain voted against the MLK holiday I wonder what this er "brother's?" opinion is about that.

  • this guy does not represent HIP HOP

  • Just because he doesn't agree with you?

  • WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS??

    from all HIP HOP heads!

    FUCK THIS FOO!

  • How sweet... he actually believes he can change the racist elite! However, would a black person change the mind of the KKK by JOINING THE KKK... probably not. I admire his creative thinking and his cause, but I believe that it is extreamly arrogant and ignorant to think that we alone can change people. It reminds me of the women who get married to horrible men with the expectation that now that they are married... things will be different. It just doesn't happen that way.

  • great points made by this young man. but it seems he is a republican maverick and will go nowhere within the party. no room for people with an open mind.

  • Bullshit.

  • Quite frankly, McCain doesn't speak to me. He for Business owners (tax cuts) and keeping the rich, rich while the poor to middle class are forced to carry the weight. Honestly, if McCain is elected president, there will be some type of nuclear war and the rich will be able to fly in there private jets to the moon will the poor-middle class are forced to fight a war that these rich people have produced over some dang oil.

  • so republicans all not stupid, see this man, is reassonable, and i mean he makes a good case, i still disagree with him, but he is not as conservative as most republicans

  • Yeah, it's shame McCain was voted in out of all the other candidates.

  • Hip Hop Republicans, Log Cabin Republicans ... Jesus Christ, when does the self delusion end?

  • this muthafucca aint hip hop

  • Well, at least this man is more respectable than that other guy.

  • Such a naive dumbass! Total embarrassment.

  • naive perhaps but unfortunately, it looks like he actually means well. more than that, he's correct about a lot of stuff

  • More hate from the left than the right? I respect your opinion first off but you not entirely accurate. The Republican Party was founded by Abe Lincoln and slavery was abolished.During the 60's racial movement when blacks lead marches for freedom the Democrats became Republicans and the Republicans became Democrats.

  • Today's Republican Party is not Abraham Lincolns...

  • THIS is how real people discuss their views and ideas, with tolerance and understanding.

    If only the media were like this.

  • This dude is a text book non-threatening negro.

  • If you are really concerned with urban or african american issues, or if you think about the policies most republicans tout, you would see they dont fit your own intrests. Seems like you are just a wannabe.

  • this negro is rediculous! This behavior is significant of the house negro. hip hip and repulicanism are diametrically opposed Im ashamed that negroes like this live in NC with me. maybe he'll step in front of a fucking bus or something

  • The other hip hip republican was a joke - made such a fool of himself and made his organization look like stupid. This guy restored some of their dignity. It was nice to see a clean and logical debate with arepublican for a change.

  • haha, his guy hates everything about the republicans..

  • This was better than that first attempt to have a civil interview with some other hip hop republicans...funny enough I usually hate Black republicans and see them as somewhat self-loathing...but I think this guy wasn't so bad. He's for Affirmative Action and he is not bashing that which he does not agree with....not bad

  • I agree that this guy is kind of ok, but still, I can't stomach this nonsense. Sticking with a party that openly, blatantly relies on white racism to stay relevant is kinda disgusting.

  • You have to give him and the Log Cabin guy SOME credit. They believe in the some of the other policies that the party supports and they are trying to win over the hearts and minds of Republicans. We would all probably be better off if they are at all successful.

  • I too have a problem with a party in which its members argue lies and purposely spread flase propoganda at the expense of "the little guy" in order to feed their hunger for power and wealth...so Black republicans will never be okay with me. That being said the first hip hop republican fell in line exactly with what I would expect from this ludicrous social movement...this guy was not AS destestable, but he seems like he is also in some state of denial.

  • this interview has nothing to do with hip hop.

  • great interview the way it should be done...

  • A badly confused Uncle Tom with a silver tongue. He can't recognize that he's being used by the Republicans. The Republican convention had a few token black faces, nothing more. Same old plantation politics.

  • do you see the difference between fox interviews and real news interviews

    conservatives?

  • This guy doesn't represent hip-hop or black American

  • I mean the daily show had it down.

    George Bush doesn't care about Wet People.

    it has nothing to do with color - just economy

  • THAT WAS A FANTASTIC INTERVIEW!!!!! OMG!!! You all dont understand. They actually had a conversation where they disagreed, but gave each other the simple respect of listening to the other's point of view. WOOOOOO! HOW SIMPLE WAS THAT??? Man, my girlfriend has GOT to see this. She is the most arguing person and disagreeing person EVER! She could learn alot from this simple, respectful conversation. Man oh man. That was GREAT to see. They disagreed, but respected each other's opinions. Amazing!

  • And that is how is have a interview/conversation......no­t like orielly or hannity or like it was 3 days ago with the other nut jobs u both disagree but u understand why ..simple

  • Cenk clearly knows very little about REAL Hip-Hop.

    Luda is rap.

    RAP and HIP-HOP are NOT the same.

  • Hip-Hop is the larger set which contains rap. Hip-Hop's four essential components: graffiti, b-boying, rapping, deejaying/turntabling.

  • I disagree. 'rapping' or 'MCing' is not rap. Rap is a corporate perversion of Real Hip-Hop.

    there are actually 5 elements of hiphop. you forgot beatbox. but the 4 elements you mentioned are typically known as the main 1s.

  • Yeah; corporate rap has been bastardized and stripped of it's authenticity.

  • A black Republican is still a Boot Licker like this black fool in the interview.

  • This guy is full of shit!

    GREAT video - 5 stars!

    I'm a conservative who realizes that non conservatives have hijacked the republican party.

    They have raised our debt by 300%, they have increased government by 40%, they have encroached on personal liberties and they have raised taxes on the American people. All of this is the exact opposite of the republican platform. I feel bad for all the self described "conservatives" that don't realize they've been taken.

  • this guy and people like him are completely full of shit....as a black person they sicken me....doesn't he hear all of these republicans calling obama uppity....how can you ignore that and still stand by their side....they wouldn't give a damn if he went to jail for the rest of his life for a crime he didn't commit, but by god they want to drill for oil so that's good enough for me

  • Gays and blacks and any other person who is NOT WHITE AND RICH needs to understand that the REPUBLICAN PARTY HATES YOU! Stop fooling yourselfs!

  • Yeah! That's Y Democrats LOVE us! They keep us dependent on their welfare, the projects/hood, SSI, etc. Those Democrats keep the poor poorer. Their "group" platform keeps us in our place. After all, we should remember our history, Dems were the 1s "lynching" black folks down South, MLK was a Rep. Reps are the ones who believe, like MLK, in "CIVIL" liberties, which we are losing thx 2 the Patriot ACT. who voted for that crap? BOTH REPs and Dems (like Obama and McCain) WAKE UP!!

  • They are patently delusional if they think that contemporary Republicans support individual liberty and limited government e.g., the suppression of gay rights, obstruction of science in harvesting stem cells, and expansion of Executive powers as well as holding Arabs in prison without charge.

    Al Gore, Ron Paul, and Barack Obama are probably the best politicians alive right now.

  • a black person whos a republican

    i mean is he a dumb arse or what

  • i agree people of ethinicity voting for John Mccain is like chicken voting for Cornell Sanders

  • ANY person voting for McCain is Insane!!! Obama's no different they both share VERY similar views regarding "Foreign Policy"

  • LMAO!!!!!!!

  • i can't bring myself to call an african american a tom, but i can STRONGLY DISAGREE. at least he is having a smart debate. each side challenging each other, that's the real conversation.

    that vp nomination slip up is very telling though...

  • Does his masta know he's escape from the grounds?

  • OUuuch.

  • They Came Back for round two lol they got there ass kick. There are not Hip Hop Republicans Just dummy as rich republicans who don't speak on be half of there people.

  • somebody please move this wanna-be back to his nationality! he sounds very confusing -RIGHT- (do- ya- get it)

  • all right last comment on this I promise, but Mr. Nagan is on the record pleading to "get someone down here" this was going on everyday til they showed up.

  • Barrack Obama for Vice President? What a dick.

  • Right Wing recruiters

  • They still don't match

  • This guy is basically the only person from the RNC that has made a decent case at all.

  • Exactly!

  • Barack Obama became the "PRESIDENTIAL NOMINEE" NOT the "Vice Presidential" Nominee.

    The Platform is about MONEY. he needs 2B Honest, that's why they call Obama a Socialist they are afraid of losing money.

  • what a nice guy! glad you didn't just give the loony tunes air time.

  • This guy is high-jacking the term Hip-Hop. He can have his political view for whatever reason that's his business. Hip-hop is about fighting negative politics. He should also try and play hip-hop at his campaign in a Red state running for Senate or something. Not even the hip-hop will put them off, it will just be the icing on the cake.

    By the way the new stuff is mostly hip-pop which is what these punks should change their name to. I love hip-hop too much to see things like this happen.

  • Good to see that some African Americans can rise above race and vote for the person they actually think will be better in Office.

  • Sad to see that after having 43 Presidents white people have not! Race has always been the issue when electing a President! When blacks vote based on race all a sudden it becomes wrong... when white people have been doing it for YEARS!

  • No, it's always been wrong. So instead of evolve we just go by the philosophy that two wrongs make a right..er..I mean..left.

  • Of course it was wrong then, the point is why try to make it right when a black man is the one you want to change it because of... why not when it was white people doing it? 43 Presidents, now it's not evolving if we don't change it... typical!

  • You should always try to make it right. Luckily, I think most people don't vote based on race anymore. Still, a lot of people seem to be doing so for Obama. Just pointing out that it's racist, because a lot of people voting for Obama don't view it that way. For them, racism can only come from caucasians. Voting based on the color of skin is always a really superfical and wrong thing to do, there's no vindication in it whatsoever. People need to stop living as races and start living united.

  • No matter how heartfelt you try and make it, and no matter that its wrong to vote for someone based on race this is America, race is and probably always will be an issue... to think people started voting again based on race because of Obama is absurd! Not only that, people who say people vote for Obama solely because of race are just plain wrong... if race was the reason they are voting for Obama then where were the people for the 3-4 other A.A. who ran for President?

  • I don't think race will always be an issue in this country, and I think it's our duty as Americans to try and rise above it. And I'm not saying EVERYONE votes for Obama based on race, just that the ones who are are doing so for the wrong reasons. If you believe he's the better man, then by all means. But hopefully that opinion is based more than on color. Me, I'll vote for a black guy when one runs who will better serve my country.

  • Why do you have to wait Obama will be the one... you and people who have voted in the past have let a white man be president who is clearly incompetent and not ready! Not to mention Bush Jr. wasn't the only one who screwed us over! For that matter tell me why do you think McCain is better, if you do think that.

  • Don't speak for me, I know that everyone is prejudice and most Americans have a little racism in them. Like I told you before... people like you want us to "evolve" but where was this talk for the hundreds of years we have had presidents? You can try an pretend that you are above it... but I have never once seen you on t.v., at a rally, or on message boards saying it's wrong until black people do it!

  • "to think people started voting again based on race because of Obama is absurd! "

    That's true HOWEVER people are voting AGAINST Obama because of Race.

  • I agree!

  • I aint buying it either... unless they want people who like hip hop to come here and say... WTF!

  • hip-hop is not republican

    ......its the money thats fuckin up hip-hop

  • You're a fucking idiot.

  • i agree.

  • This guy is funny as hell... I'm black and I should start an Organization as KKKAfro-Americans. Seriously, LOL for HipHop Republican.

  • I'm an independent democrate and i don't think that black republicans are uncle Tom's. Black people are not monolithic. Why is it a streatch that we think differently from one another? Come on!!

  • Because of comments like "Voting Republican is betraying your race" and other disgusting racist propaganda.

  • people used a record player and not a band b/c they couldn't afford instruments. he makes another point that spoken word over an instrumental doesn't make sence, how closed minded can you be. Why not say african tribes in zimbabwe screaming over drums doesn't make sence? These people are brainwashed and the people they want to impress are only impressed at how you could sell out your own race for a pat on the head. (thank ya massa)

  • Why is this dude calling himself a Hip Hop republican if the guy doesn't like the music?

    Republicans are fakes and snakes this is just another ploy to appeal to minorities and we can see straight through the deception

  • Cenk should have clarified why this guy is conservative rather than libertarian, his positions on the topics discussed where fair and reasonable but i want to know why this guy is clinging on to the GOP when the likes of Hagel are drifting away.

  • Hip Hop Republicans are Like Jews for Jesus. It just doesn't make sense. Jews 4 Jesus is Sarah Palin's preacher problem. They preeched to the VP nominee Sarah Palin in her home church 2 weeks ago.

  • Can you elaborate or tell me where to get this info.

  • They should've let this guy talk in the first place, he's actually trying to have a conversation. The other two were just an embarassment, I think even republicans would point at them and go see. This is how "Black" people act. Meanwhile those "black" people were going crazy trying to defend the very same people looking down at them. Sad. I honestly felt these were the slaves that used to rat on other slaves in the past, and tried to get in good with their owners.

  • Exactly.

  • Dude he said Obama was a vice-presidential nominee and Cenk didn't hear it I guess. And yes I wouldn't vote for the guy either. I wonder if people compared him to Thomas because of his views maybe? At least Cenk didn't get beaten up. Yay Cenk!
