Racial Code Words? Decoding Juan Williams False Charges of Racism

[koyunbaba73]

What would a Black man in the 1950s have thought if he knew that in 2012, some smart alec reporter would get hung up on racial "code words"? Wouldn't he think that concern about racism where none existed showed a deep disrespect for the very REAL racism that he had to suffer through?

[Lazyguy22]

3:09

And when he used his decoder ring he got...

"Be sure to eat your food stamps"

[AthenasConquest]

Juan got Fired from NPR for racially insensitive comments 

[qhack]

I love your shirt. 

[AIexKidd]

You wanna talk racial code words?

How about this?

“Anti-racist” is just a code word for anti-White.

[vidfann]

I suppose when white people call grown ass black men "boy" there's nothing bigoted about that either. How about limbaughs depiction of Obama spray painted on mount Rushmore. That was just political shit. Oh what about the breitbart letter. Hmmm. Guess racism doesn't exist anymore. They may as well just call people niggers. It's not a black thing. Yea.

[vidfann]

This guy is so ignorant that not only does he not see the plausible denial-ability in the arrogant yet cryptic euphemisms (DRINKING THE KOOL AID FOOD STAMPS, PRESIDENT) he actually formulated a theory that makes the words strictly political party shit. What a wonderful talking head for pjtv. Rush limbaugh look out. This nigga got a niche.

[falcondriver100]

Juan Williams is just a higher class(than Al Sharpton)race hustler, moron! Right on ZO!

[darthom]

I don't like caramel-coated popcorn, either.

[earsonsounds]

Gimme gimme goons. LOL

[TheCaliCapitalist]

For decades now republicans/conservatives have associated welfare with blacks and blacks with welfare. Santorum, Gingrich, and Paul all have a history of doing this. Even Zo said that blacks vote dems for food stamps. Countless conservatives have done this for decades so Williams isn't far off the mark with his statements.

[freedombase]

@TheCaliCapitalist williams is a tool who was fired by NPR but still drinks the koolaid

[anywayokey]

Thank you Zonation for saying this. I've been thinking the same thing. Since when is "food stamps" equal to black people? Isn't it the same liberals who want to make this association the same liberals who are so quick to tell us that more white people get food stamps than black people. And now they want to tell us that therefore when a Republican says "food stamps" he really means "black people". Liberals need to just think about their own logic twist of logic before they point fingers.

[robtjonz]

You are so clear. Thank God.

[specialtymachining]

Zo: What an awesome sense of humor & truth, from God!

[fett8802]

How have I never heard of you before?! Subscribed!

[ScottieMcSpock]

Zo for President!

[ScottieMcSpock]

Brilliant!

[jmvmike]

I love this guy!!!!!!!!1

[Christopher0051]

That's outstanding! Finally, someone with a pair of stones... and who cares what color they are. :-D

“During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act.”

George Orwell

[Jimtheprogrammer]

Zo Nation needs to be on Cable TV.

[atlballer81]

@Jimtheprogrammer Yes! He can follow up Sean Hannity on Fox News. That would be a hilarious one-two punch!

[communicator49]

You are Brilliant

[YeahiownAK47s]

Dang... this guys' smart! NEED MORE LIKE HIM!

[endisnighe]

What did Lyndon Johnson say when he helped create the Democrat Plantation?

I'll have those n*ggers voting Democratic for the next 200 years

Hmmm, I guess that was not code words, he said it outright.

[StoneHouse2002]

love this guy, he tells it like it is without being offensive.

[nexttell]

Your an ass..

[endisnighe]

@nexttell It is spelled, You are an ass or you're an ass.

Your welcome.

[TheVoiceofwar]

@endisnighe Before you correct someone you should make sure that you are not making the same mistake they are.

*You're welcome.

[endisnighe]

@TheVoiceofwar Dude, you do not get sarcasm? Your welcome also.

[TheVoiceofwar]

@endisnighe You obviously don't know what sarcasm is. You can admit that you failed and had an error while trying to correct someone instead of lying and trying to make it seem like you did it on purpose when you obviously didn't. /fail

[aNuthaRedneck]

I love and appreciate the attitude Zo! Don't let Juan come to the south just to find out that nigger toes are actually Brazil nuts. He'll start thinking we're calling all people from Brazill crazy nutty people!

[jessislegit1]

Here's hoping you keep on keepin' on!Thank you Zo!

[RandomDarkness]

Zo, you kill me man! ROFL!

[bantyhenrants]

Zo, the best word I can think of to describe you is "refreshing". Oh wait! Is that code for something I don't know about?

Love your videos.

[RightCoastJul]

I still love me some Zo. <3

[thedevtx]

Gimme gimme goons! That's my new catch phrase.

[nathan9384]

I believe skullet is, in fact, the correct term :)

Funny episode!

[MacGirvan]

Hear hear! Well said Zo!

[talonspoint]

Classic Zo focused on the subject like a laser. Love it!

Now there's a black man I want to have a beer summit with!!

[magicwhiteguys]

@talonspoint Because you definitely wont hang around a black person who doesn't think like you.

[talonspoint]

@magicwhiteguys Racial accusations reflect only on the accuser, enjoy the mirror. I don't hang around anyone I don't find enjoyable regardless of color or whether we see eye to eye. My time is too valuable.

Note: No one only hangs around with people they only agree with since no one agrees completely with those around them so your point on its merit is utterly foolish.

[magicwhiteguys]

@talonspoint Your time? You are not that important dude? That is good that you hang around people who dont think like you. Your comment which i responded didnt make that clear at all. The problem I had with your comment though is that Zo is off base a lot of the time especially when it comes to race. He only gets supports from those "patriots" who only know how to be insensitive to race issues. Which is utterly foolish and both you and Zo's part.

[talonspoint]

@magicwhiteguys Zo is not off base. He just refuses to sing the victim song. Racism will ALWAYS be with us. How we chose to respond to racism is up to us. There are many black racists just as there are many white ones but that does not give me the legitimacy to paint all blacks based on those who spout their particular flavor of hate, let alone because I disagree with the views of some blacks on issues.

[magicwhiteguys]

@talonspoint Zo is off base. I agree that there are many black racists as far as being the same amount as whites is debateable, being that we only make up 12 percent of the population. Which right there shows your ignorance on racial issues. Racism is an institution just like sexism. Why was Bush (father and son) not called the food stamp president, even though, food stamps were high under their administrations? The R party does use racially tone words. Because that whats their base

[magicwhiteguys]

@talonspoint Part two: Wants to hear. Just because Zo skirts around it because he has to please his "people" doesnt mean he is on point at all. But of course you are insensitive to any negative institutions in America. And calling me a dirty liberal or whatever doesnt prove your point. So dont show your desperation by going there.

[magicwhiteguys]

@talonspoint With that being said. You do only hang with people who agree with you. Sorry I had to take time away from you worshipping your sky god, Jesus, and shooting your guns. Be easy until the rapture comes. Then the world wont have to ruin be ruined by you fairy tale true believers.....

[talonspoint]

@magicwhiteguys Study history then get back with me about guns. Even Ghandi ripped England for disarming Indians (bet you didn't know that).

Hate my God if you will. No worries here

[magicwhiteguys]

@talonspoint I have no problem with guns. I support peoples right to have them. Gun nuts are just ridiculous. I dont hate your god I could care less about your sky god. But, just leave him or it out of other peoples lives. Especially when your hippocrates (Santorum, Newt) is pushing them on us. We dont need more of your myths. Ask the Native Americans about your great god.

[magicwhiteguys]

@magicwhiteguys Btw. Thank the Black Panthers for being the first pro gun group.

[talonspoint]

@magicwhiteguys The founders were the first pro gun group

“A free people ought not only to be armed and disciplined, but they should have sufficient arms and ammunition to maintain a status of independence from any who might attempt to abuse them, which would include their own government.” — George Washington

[magicwhiteguys]

@talonspoint Oh god! You quote George Washington. Well actually only a certain population had guns. The Black panthers were the first ones in the past century to be pro gun. That is the problem with you so called patriots are so scared of uncertainty that you cling on to this glorius past of which you know nothing. Yall should take your guns and shoot yourselfs. Dont forget to stick the constitution up your ass before you do it. lol

[talonspoint]

@magicwhiteguys So a certain population had firearms. So what? Back then they were virtually hand made, now they are mass produced, so what? Your contention that I know nothing of our founders past is a reflection of your own ignorance not mine. I probably know more about the honorable and inspiring history of blacks in our founding than yourself based on your attack. Your attacks are evidence you are having trouble arguing your points from a position of confidence.

[talonspoint]

@magicwhiteguys I haven't pushed any candidate so your projection doesn't work. I could mention Democrats that are utterly embarrassing (Maxine Waters et al) but I refuse to impart her ignorance on you to try to make a point. As far leaving God out of this I will remind you that you were the first one to bring up my God, not I, so I reserve the right to respond. Native Americans have legitimate offenses but you are deflecting out of your own anti white biases.

[magicwhiteguys]

@talonspoint I agree with you that there are many embarrasing democrats, i dont give a shit about Maxi water. You bring her up though, in desperation. Hand made and mass produced gun is not even an issue. So why do you even bring it up.Nor did I say anything that would even mention me being anti white. That is name calling. You can be less ignorant by sticking to the issue. Thats why you people (repub) not white, stick to a reacher like Zo. Just pointless negative ranting...

[talonspoint]

@magicwhiteguys Waters was mentioned in response to your Santorum/Newt assumption so it was relevant not desperate but nice try. I mentioned mass production of guns because it reduced cost to own making them more prolific in response to your irrelevant comment trying to somehow discredit the words of Washington, chuckle.

No you didn't say you were anti white specifically, its just the thread that weaved together your continual argument. And finally...

[talonspoint]

@magicwhiteguys If were are going to stay on subject, something you have not done from the beginning of our exchange (I've been responding to non Zo arguments by you from the beginning) then how about specifically detailing Zo's errors with evidence since you want people to believe he he's "off base" trying to please "his people."

[magicwhiteguys]

@talonspoint lol.Ok..here we go I dont necessarily agree with Juan that R uses code words. The Rs are using outride racist euphemisms. But I understand what Juan means.

[magicwhiteguys]

@talonspoint Part 2. Zo is wrong because: 1. Food stamps has always been stereotypically connected to Black people. Remember Reagans uneducated welfare queen rant? Number 2....

[magicwhiteguys]

@talonspoint Sarcasm doesnt seem to help Zo make his point. It just makes him look like an ass. It is so convenient that Bush Sr and Jr had high amounts of welfare recievers during...

[magicwhiteguys]

@talonspoint their terms, but repubs have never referred to them as food stamp pres. But, for some reason, the black man, who is part of a race that is connected with Fstamps is? Cmon..

[magicwhiteguys]

@talonspoint The republican party in the last 30 plus years have never been friendly to issues dealing with racism or sexism. You know that..But it is funny that Zo acts like they do.

[magicwhiteguys]

@talonspoint Part 5. Zo trips up his argument when he says about people he knows thinking food stamps is democrat. So he generalizes everyone else, but cant generalize his own repub group

[talonspoint]

@magicwhiteguys 1) Zo is correct that recipients are primarily Democrats voting themselves largess from the public treasury. It's the left that ties it to race via assumption. Now I will agree with you that some Republicans use racially insensitive terms, but so do some Dems. I could catalog a litany of "uncle toms" comments from the left against conservative blacks.

[talonspoint]

@magicwhiteguys 2) The food stamp president line was not directed to Obama's race but the reality that the economy has continued to suffer and the bureaucracy seeks out recipients that aren't even looking for services(fact.) Reagan didn't rant. The problem exists. My own family has known some of those queens.

[magicwhiteguys]

@talonspoint There are some that do take advantage of a system, but to make sweeping generalizations like reagan did and no go into the nuances of the situation is irresponsible. It may not have been linked to black people in Reagan's mind when he said it, but you have a population who will seek to make that connection because they are just racist.

[talonspoint]

@magicwhiteguys Correct that many will make that connection but based on the reaction at the time (I'm also old enough to remember) those reaction revealed the racism on the left as much as any on the right. If someone says something not intended to be racist then who does the reaction reflect on when racism is perceived? lol BTW I hear leaders on the left use such poor choice of words at times and do not always assume their intent is racist, sexist, etc lest it reflect on me ;-)

[talonspoint]

@magicwhiteguys 4) Your argument of Republicans over the last 30 years is your rightful opinion but I highly disagree. The left tells these same people they cannot succeed without the help of government, a sexist and racist thinking itself. I amd the conservatives I know consider women and those of other races as created equal, and best served by restoring and protecting their liberty, not their outcome.

[talonspoint]

@talonspoint 5) Finally, if you go back and read the sequence of our exchange it has been a series of attacks on your part toward me, those you want to connect to me followed by my responses accordingly. If we had stayed on point of Zo in the first place we likely would have found certain common ground (just a suggestion for the future.) Now I must prep for a road trip so I will kindly leave the last word to you.

Respectfully,

Talon's Point

[magicwhiteguys]

@talonspoint Guilty I did attack you in the exchange. It is no different that what Zo does. My admitting to it is just me being prickish. Of which Zo always does. The only difference is I dont state my opinion as fact, which Zo does. Besides that fact his arguments contain more vitriol than actual points beyond generalizations..

Respectfully,

[magicwhiteguys]

@talonspoint This is incorrect about the left telling people they cant succeed. You need to show instances of that. The narrative on both the right and left is that everyone in america can succeed. Which is not possible in a system that worships a capitalistic model.

[magicwhiteguys]

@talonspoint ? p(6) That is very weak: Label a large population of people (dems/lib/etc), then speak about the beliefs of his group minus the generalizations. That is why Zo is ALWAYS off

[OfficialDannyDifalco]

@Hoschi0913 why would anyone want to be democrat?

[OfficialDannyDifalco]

I think its really funny when democrats throw the race card. what party started the KKK? oh democrats.....

[endwelfare]

this guy is pretty awesome good job pajamasmedia

[magicwhiteguys]

Once again Zo is reaching and speaking in circles again. 

[Dragdamar]

@magicwhiteguys Once again a leftist is making statements with no facts to back them up.

[magicwhiteguys]

@Dragdamar Once again a non critical thinker speaking on something he knows nothing about.

[CSWRB]

Skullet! lol

[faustmanv]

The truth about Democrats being the real Racists. Republican's ended slavery but the Blacks ran back to the Democrat Plantation. It makes no sense.

[TheHounddog2020]

Don't like Cracker Jacks, next your'e gonna say you don't like baseball.

[Dragdamar]

@TheHounddog2020 I don't like Baseball.

[TBustah]

I like Cracker Jacks, but the prizes in them now suck.

It used to be, you'd get a sticker or a mini baseball card at the very least, and a little toy of some sort if you were lucky.

Now, all the prizes suck. It's just little pieces of cardboard, mostly lame puzzles. The kind of stuff you find on the back of cereal boxes.

Yeah, I know I'm missing the point entirely. But I did like it.

[Hoschi0913]

no offence to Mr. Williams,but from what i hear and see of him meanwhile,he leans so far left,became (or is) so much liberal,i wonder when he will tip over

[englanddg]

Zo is BACK!

[politicalmyincorrect]

I just had an argument with a stereotypical white liberal "intellectual" about racism. They love to generalize people and always try to make themselve a victim in some way. Her main point was that a person has to be discriminated against in order to talk about discrimination. I called BS and made the case that EVERYONE retains the right to be a part of the solution to end racism. LET'S TALK THIS VIRUS ON SOCIETY DEAD!

[ArrogantAmerican333]

Oh and Zo, you're not far off at all with how millions of people think when you said that "cracker jack" bit. I remember in Sociology class my teacher made us read an article that claimed the term "yellow bellied", among many others, was a manifestation of racism in the english language. That was the first and last Sociology course I ever took...

[MemoryTechnologies]

ZO!!!! You put a smile on my face every single time! YOU will need to run for office soon... you make more sense than about 435 others I can think of... ;)

[init100]

@MemoryTechnologies

Actually, there are a few Representatives that make a lot of sense already in Congress today. Look up Allen West for an example.

[snoobeagle]

@init100 Amen.. I've been watching and donating to Col West's campaign since 2010. I hope he's interested in being Pres.

[ArrogantAmerican333]

What's also ironic is that they claim socialist is code for the n-word, even though the very place they want to remake America in the image of is EUROPE. So if we try to fight remaking America in Europes image, we are white supremacists?

[ArrogantAmerican333]

(con.t) People like Al Sharpton have been calling issues regarding poverty "black issues" They've called people racist for being against their "anti-poverty" legislation as if "minority" and "poor" are synonymous. They've been labeling every black who takes a stand which seems counter-intuitive for a poor man to take as an "Uncle Tom", again as if black and poor are synonomous.

[ArrogantAmerican333]

Right on, Zo. The left has been trying to turn "black" into a byword for poor for decades. For decades they've been pretending every socio-economic issue is a civil rights issue. They've been talking about "white priviledge" as if all blacks are born into poverty and all whites into wealth. (cont.)

[TheHortond]

The gubment doesn't even use food stamps anymore. They issue debit cards called quest cards. But you can still tell when someone uses them because they have a bunch of junk food on the counter and they have to enter a pin on a seperate pin pad.

[carlindelco]

I just realized something, if we were so inclined and racist, we could make a better argument for " tax the rich" is code for "take the money from whitey"

[1spiralman]

i love the way zo shows how Hippocratic the left is with common sense and humor.

[BigDaddyCoolShows]

You this cracker's Super Hero!

[TheReddragon64]

When I talk about black people, I say black people.

[SumDuud]

I hear food stamps and entitlement and I thnk trashy lazy bastards that want everything without working for it... and I tend to lean a little more left in my beliefs. But I see where you are going with this and respect and appreciate your point of view!

[biozamadotcom]

yes, they are sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooo spoiled. That's why they are all in debt. And NAFTA spoiled them so rotten. Bailouts Spoiled them so rotten.

Let's spoil them more with the TSA. Let's spoil them more by printing more money.

Yes, spoiled, rotten white Occupy kids who get all that oil money and M/i complex govt contracts.

[mtgsean]

Oh ZO you didn't! Love this guy... keep em coming...

[TheCaliCapitalist]

I think Zo is missing the point. Gingrich has associated food stamps with black people. Santorum has said that he believes welfare goes to black people. Ron Paul's newsletters stated the firm belief that black people are criminals who want welfare. When you stand infront of a conservative crowd and say welfare they generally think most black people want welfare.

[captianusa]

@TheCaliCapitalist

REALLY?

I am in that conservative crowd and when I hear welfare I generally think trailer parks.

Lets see you take that out of context.

[steffabeffa]

You are one of the few voices of reason! Thank you for being you.

[jwash3rd]

Wait! Cracker Jack is racist! Back in the '60s their jingle went, "lip smackin', Paddy whackin', peanuts and a prize..." That's Irish racism! Oh no, the humanity of it all!

[jwash3rd]

I'd like to see the Juan v. Zo debate. Now that would be some really enlightening entertainment. For Williams too, not just us.

[zvi303]

Brilliant! One of your best.

[zvi303]

When I think of food stamps, I think of people in my own community, not Blacks. A person who associates food stamps with Blacks has some hidden racism or self-hatred.

[aquawoelfly]

@Chriznak it referances "porch monkey"

[jp3711nc1]

@aquawoelfly If I remember didn't someone who is a democrat call him that now turn to us and call us racist yet not the person who called him that.

[aquawoelfly]

@CRAZYASFUK1 "porch monkey" is a derogatory term for black people

[CRAZYASFUK1]

"Go back to the porch" what's that mean?

[Yesica1993]

Oh, Zo! I don't know how you have such patience for this nonsense. We love ya!

[therealgarygnu]

Sometimes it just takes a black man to point out this obvious shit.

[mtgsean]

@therealgarygnu Yeah bc if white people do it... they're racist! LOL!

[Herv3]

@therealgarygnu If someone thinks Juan is right about his "code word" theory they most likely already have a racial bias. So if it was a white guy saying this, they would be immediately close minded and see it as a white guy using more more "code words" to defend racism.

[Dragdamar]

Is Skullette a code word for something?

[ilovenh1]

@Dragdamar Why yes... Male Pattern Baldness Denial Syndrome ! };[)

[carlindelco]

Funny opener!!! "code words' and great video on an obvious example of liberal projection.. After all Juan has seen, heard and been though how he remains a liberal dem, is beyond understanding.

[Chriznak]

what does "go back to the porch" mean?

[CFCJesterFool]

On a scale of 1 to 10...I give this one a 20. On a more personal note, love the t-shirt. Sanford and Son was one of my favorite shows growing up. Red Foxx was a brilliant actor (and hell of a comedian). Good job Zo!

[johncattermole]

I don't like cracker jacks as well.

[enochg]

The best one in a good while Zo!

[realdad32]

zo you killed me when you went off on the craker jacks! so funny! thanks for another good vid.
