  • Wtf. This btch bill maher.

  • I don't know that fro dude but he's full of shit. Bin Laden denied any involvement in 9/11 untill late 2003 and whether that footage was genuine is not representable. He did say America deserved it, but that's all. As a matter of fact, the Taliban captured him! They would turn him over to America's ally Pakistan if America could produce actual evidence. But America declined the request so they let him go....Sometimes I feel like I'm the only one actually looking up the footnotes in news stories.

  • It's funny, on this video everyone is saying how much they like Mos Def and agree with him. Go to the one where he is having a discussion with Hitchens and he's getting shit on by the commenters. I think it just proves that people take Maher's show a bit too seriously.

  • @BigMurph106 People take FOX News and CNN too seriously. People need to get their information for themselves by going on the internet, reading books, reading blogs, etc. Bullshit mainstream media is no place to get information.

  • Bill Maher has never struck me as very intelligent. Every time Cornell West or Mos Def make a good point, he always cock blocks it with some distraction or shitty joke that makes no sense, because he doesn't want to lose the argument. He is just as intolerant as he accuses the people he disagrees with in his beliefs and uses the title of "Comedian" as a shield to protect him from criticism. What a wimp..

  • Look people don't like when some one talks with too much sense because at this point our world thrives off of kayos! eat it like southern fried chicken with gravy!

  • The white man is extremely racist. He clearly has never read the Koran so he's just saying what he's being told in the media. Islam is a religion of peace.

  • "If a nation is sleep walking and doesn't wake up, then it will never be saved."

  • What a dumb asshole.

  • I wish it wasn't edited... it's hbo, it's not like there's commercials.

  • Being a communist is not the same a being a conspiratorial anti intellectual ignorant ass. i feel bad for cornel west having to moderate these two assholes.

  • Mos Def is black, upper middle class, and the son of college professors...stop acting hood son. And motherfuckers DO send fucking video tapes, be up on facebook, posting fucking youtube videos all about telling people they will fuck them up when they see them. Just fucking search. Motherfuckers at my barbershop don't sit around questioning 9.11. Mos Def is an idiot. See Cornell West, that is a smart brother...he just told Mos Def why he is a paranoid dumb ass.

  • Mos Def talks like he has a brain tumor.

  • Your voting System is a phat joke bro, What do you have? Two parties to vote for? Come on.. that's one more than in China, which doesn't even have democracy. In Sweden any one can start a partie, you just need to get voters :). You are some hundred years back

  • @Baskollektivet lol yeah you have 20 parties and basically they are two serious parties in sweden and a bunch of minor parties that make themselves foils for the larger two All systems are two party systems or one party systems. Having a bunch of smaller parties doesn't make a difference.

  • Bill Maher is a dooshbag.

  • Oh Bill Maher, always blaming the evil and ignorance on Religion.

  • @The1AndOnlySAGAKing I agree and I'm not even religious. Maher thinks the world would be better off without religion but in reality the problems he describes have more to do with intolerance and closed mindedness. Everybody has the right to speak/think anything they wish as long as they respect other people's right to do the same. I study all religions as well as philosophy, science, history, etc. Every subject gives me a deeper understanding of the world and where other people are coming from.

  • @TubingWithMyGnomies [continued]: The problems related to religion that Bill Maher speaks of are really more to do with extremism and intolerance. Religious extremism is a problem but Bill Maher's anti-religious rants are not doing the world any favors either. To say that religion is the blame for all the problems in the world and everything would be better without it is just as ignorant as those who say that the Bible (or whatever) is the answer to everything. Bill is an idiot.

  • i like how they cut off Mos Def as soon as he was gonna explain to the host that he was wrong about the Qur'an

    smh

    ignorance

  • "Religion is the root of the problem." Oh, PLEASE, Bill! Don't give off that New Atheist shit! Are you going to tell me that the root of the problem in Bloods & Crips gang warfare is religion? Wouldn't the bigger root in Iraq be poverty, tyranny, exploitation, lack of education? You can still have all those problems even without religion.

  • @cleanhomer THANK YOU!!!!!!!

  • 02:45 And Troy Davis just this past year.

  • @AmericanBadass44 You spelt *dumb wrong, it doesnt have a B, an A OR a D in it.

  • RESPECT TO MOS DEF.

  • mos def is telling the fucking truth

  • man mos kicked the shi.. outta mayer.

  • Mos def is too cool

  • Thumbs up if you exited out of the video as soon as he started talking about bigfoot

  • @shane10008 Beg you pardon?

  • i guess he dont believe it so it must be true (insert sarcasm here).. he thinks he's speaking intelligently but he is just exposing himself as an idiot

  • Religion is a more noble cause for dispute than money and greed.

  • "i'm Black in Amerikkka under consent pressure"!!

  • Mos is awake.

  • like everytime i watch this laugh at the fact that bill says "its all good" no its not all good he has a gun...like where did he pull that from, he just took the convo and tried to turn it another direction, but i guess, if thats what makes him happy because either way mos and the other fella gon speak what they know:)

  • *yawn* always the same conspiracy shit.

    whatever. i will still buy his albums.

  • Immortal Tech. need to be on this show

  • Bill Maher is a fag

  • LOOK FORGET RELIGION AND KNOW RIGHT FROM WRONG AND LIVE BY THE BIBLE AND LIFE WILL BE A BREEZE

  • I love Dr. West. The Real.

  • ol boy (the white guy) be all off topic..what did he bring up its all good for ??? tricky ass media ---_____----

  • Mos Def was annoying here, I mean, you have Prof. West...the Cornel West, about to expand on counter-points that can be well argued and documented...and then you get someone like Mos Def right next to him with his flair and popularity to pull in viewer ratings spout mostly bs that tarnishes the majority of the discussion.

  • @vk732 Realest statement on this page.

  • I love mos Def, Lupe all rappers with something to say !

  • am really happy to see those people who talk about reality cuz some people scare and some people can't take a lie .....world sees that america  is the one destroying the world .........karma is a bitch one day ...its gone be payback time lol

  • million kids had been malested by church every month around the world......and no body says anything about it for real..................

    SECOND

    when christian people do something ...nobody says christian did something.....but why people obsess with muslim people who are not terrorist all of them...

  • CIA FBI they wanna kill innocent people around the world by saying terrorist for real

  • "Imma fuck you up when I see you!" Hhaahhahahahaaa!! Much love to Mos!!!

  • Mos Def - another typical loud blackman with a funky take on the English language. But his opinions are mostly baseless.

  • Love Mos Def....Wish this clip wasn't cut and pasted...Would have liked to have seen his commentary in the context of the debate as a whole.

  • Most def's knows more than he's letting off... I wonder why

  • I HEARD ENOUGH OF PEOPLE SAYING,,, THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO WANA KILL AMERICANS,,, HOW ABOUT,, PEOPLE THE AMERICA, THE BLOOD TESTING SOCIETY, WANA KILL, CUZ THEY ARE INTERESTING THEIR RICHEST. I DONT THINK ANYONE WANT TO KILL AMERICANS. BUT BELIEVE THAT THEIR ARE ALOT OF ANGRY PPL IN THE WORLD, WANTING RETALIATION WHO THEIR FAMILIES AMERICANS GOVERNMENT KILLED FOR NO REASON.

  • This episode generated a blog called Mos Def is an idiot

  • mos def is such an ignorant idiot. he puts on a good show for the audience when he spews his rhetoric, but there is no real substance to what he says.

  • yeah, bitch. its me

  • The more racist Americans try to prove they're the top race, the worst things get. Til (karma) hits. Every race try to put down form against them. Killed off people stolen land. Karma is real people. Biblical

  • God damn. Cornell West and Mos Def holdin it down... Good to finally see intelligent black people on tv not, not the dumb niggas that celebrated on camera when Obama first got elected screamin "Obama gon pay my mortgage"

  • I didnt know Mos Def is so smart :)

  • mos def kinda stole bill's audience for a bit there haha

  • I really admire Mos Def for standing up for his beliefs which I happen to agree with (all of them, stated here at least) If more celebrities stood up and wasn't so scared more people would be involved just by their inspiration. Thank you Mos for being a courageous man. My respect to you.

  • what a goon!

  • Wow... Mos Def is a dumbass.

  • mos def is so funny

    

  • I'm so NOT alone... respect to Mos def

  • hahahahahh he is smart and funny same time we lucky to have some one from street which can show the world in public thet we think same as others the only diference is we didnt follow the system to go in school bla bla !!!

  • 717bich get of mos defs.  d***!

  • ya ya ya!!lololol this is more like it mos def!!

  • he's excused from knowing history, language, and general logic because he's a poverty stricken black man. speak. fucking. english. mos. def. "sumsins fishy and shit, yo"

  • Mos Def is a fucking moron, he can barely string a sentence together, activist my ass.

  • @MAJABMC12 haha, because his dialect is different hes a moron,, it just means he talks differently,, but his points are still valid

  • @HI276 You call that a Dialect, barely a sociolect, I've heard him in a few interviews he's an idiot watch the Bill Maher show when Christopher hitchens is on it with him, he doesnt have a fucking clue what he's talkin about missing the point every time.

  • @MAJABMC12 i have seen that, and it was far from a disscusion, on both sides,, it was pretty much just a yelling match, but all mos def is trying to exsplain is a different point of view, not saying hes right or wrong, but simply a different perspective

  • Mos def is a fucking moron, he can barely string a sentence together

  • Mos def is a fucking moron, he can barely string a sentence together

  • Comment removed

  • MOS DEF is the man.

  • Seriously Bill, what the fuck does religion have to do with the US invading Iraq for Oil?

  • Bill Maher isn't controlled opposition. He's just a retard.

  • excuse me, but what show is this?

  • @KanapkaDrobakha Real time, on HBO

  • there goes another idol... fuckin idiot...

    i m sure this is what his fans wanna hear, but doesnt change the fact that he is oviously delusional..

    inside job my fuckin ass.. i m truely suprised there are idiots, partly truely smart guys, seriously fallin for this shit..

    hah, inside job...

    gotta be damn sick mothfuckas, bush the cia and all.. pullin down the towers, bombing london, madrid, mumbai, train bombing in germany, stockholm etc... and then getting caught???

    haha.. yeah right..

  • @selectjohn Are you seriously suggesting that Bush and the CIA are NOT sick motherfuckers?

  • Comment removed

  • @selectjohn He sure as hell didn't do anything to prevent the attack. Or do anything to actually try to go after the actual culprits. Mos Def has the right to be fishy seeing how chaotic the reports on the attacks were and how many experts in their fields have spoken against the official story.

  • Comment removed

  • @morbidchid well, i m no bush supporter, i m not even republican..and i dont got any problems with people being against bush and his administration.. but when this (fashionable) opportunism turns into an obsession, to an extent where people start believing and spreading delusional conspiracy theorios like this "9/11 inside job" shit, then i start wondering that bushs "sickness" might in reality be the least of their problems.. anyhow.. gotta say that i lost hell of respect towards mos def...

  • @selectjohn You shouldn't lose respect towards someone because he has a different opinion then you. That's very childish.

  • @selectjohn youre an idiot

  • Comment removed

  • Cornel West is not enlightening to me...just boring. He seems to struggle with succinctness (like many professors).

  • ah man, i wanted to hear what nader had to say...

  • adam curtis power of nightmares enjoy bbc quality

  • damn right

  • Mos Def has a functioning brain. There are a handful of us out there. I agree with every single thing he says here.

  • Comment removed

  • BILL IS SUCH A ZIONIST FAGOTT!!!

  • mos def is a legend, so funny and clever at the same time, wicked dude, love him

  • @MultiBrunolucas @wetmurder He's a fucking imbecile.

  • @MultiBrunolucas nigger lover

  • Respond to this video...  @hanaaB you are a dumb ass.

  • Respond to this video...  voting is difficult? you lazy nigger

  • @MultiBrunolucas he's not clever the guy can hardly speak...

  • @GiantRobotZodd He is a lot more intelligent than your entire family put together. Also I think you have a severe case of Down Syndrome, please fuck off and die you retarded fuck. Go and drink your kool aid you dumb fuck. My dick is smarter than your brain cunt.

  • Notice how Maher tried to insert humor when Cornell West shot down his whole religion argument

  • mos def is just a joke. can he just shut up!!!!!

  • @n1234ick

    pls die faggot

  • @NasMoG1

    MOS DEF 4 PRESIDENT

  • Mos def is such a fucking retard

  • @Arty288 because he's right?

  • @gompynl no, cos he's wrong, i guess you got confused about that, you know, you too being a retard and all evidently - seriously - because he's right? duh, what a convincing argument and intelligent statement to make - yes the irony is not lost on me that by replying to your post in such a puerile manner i have in fact have displayed a similar level of retardation to your self, but that's cos i'm half into a bottle of Jonnie walker and tomorrow i'll be sober - you however will still be retarded

  • Gonna keep babbling. WHY are catholics never put into question? The presenter quickly changed back to Muslims after Mos Def mentioned roman catholics.

  • Comment removed

  • Just making a point here. " i am so on your side" whilst throwing up the devil horns.

  • @TheYates100

    He just pointed at the man in a casual way, devil horn illuminati bullshit, get over it. Not disagreeing with there being a secret government, just saying, read up, and know what is realistic, and what is fed to you on youtube, good luck on life.

  • I am atheist, but in this debate i'm clearly on the side of Mos Def and Cornel West, especially when West says that religion is violent, but so are empires and economical systems. I support Maher's views on variety of positions, but he really misses the point, when thinks Quran is source of muslim violence. America's neocolonialism pushes semi-secular muslims towards fanaticism. Maher's simplistic view on religion fires backwards on him.

  • Just saying, if Mos Def were not a black rapper, the audience would not have been laughing. If you're black and can's speak intelligently (I'm not blaming Mos Def for that) then whites give you leeway.

  • Ha! Fuck what Nader has to say.

  • i love this, lol

  • What an idiot.

  • Mos def doesn't believe in anything but Bigfoot....I love it.

  • that interviewer not know s**t his thort processes r well ignorant he is well a sleep lol

    some one needs to do some research

  • well sed Mos Def

  • Lol, I'm sorry but I cannot understand what Mos Def is saying... 

  • I think Mos Def would seem more persuasive if he was able to articulate better..

  • @skycrusher00 it's about the points he makes, not his grammer

  • @yajo891 That's why I said MORE persuasive. I am not implying that his articulation inhibits his ability to make good points, but the fact that he structures his sentences into something so close to being incomprehensible just makes it really hard to listen to.

  • @skycrusher00 that is unfortunately your problem, wish he could speak better but you could listen beter

  • @skycrusher00 More persuasive to whom?

  • @skycrusher00 He articulates like a black person from a poor community. Thinking his accent makes him less persuasive is an idea which classist individuals developed and propagated: if you sound black and poor, you're not to be taken seriously. And that racism against the poor, black accent is what's wrong – not the accent in itself.

    I don't mean to put you down. I'm just wishing to point out a propagandistic thought that was spread by the ruling class, and which the working class repeats.

  • we come together like the pieces of a puzzle. 11.11.2011

  • i love 8:57-9:10

    

  • I´d say that it´s not the religion which corrupted the people but it´s some people who corrupted religion. Now the question is where is the TRUE religion? Where is the TRUE and ONLY way?

  • Truth lies in my prostate.

  • MOS DEF is a Fucking Idiot

  • Maher, Cornel West, and Mos Def are all right here. Religion is nonsense, and its the center of the conflict in the Middle East. However, Its also the cause of our conflicts in the Middle East. Also, 9/11 was a set up, and Black americans are under constant terrorism.

    In short, there is no reason to pick sides here, each debater is correct in some way.

  • Why did the audience laugh at "I'm from the projects, I know danger"?

  • Mos dof. Nice observation, perfect analogies.

  • Bill Maher just doesn't get the Middle East... To the typical american autistic perspective of the world, he adds his obsession with Islam and his pro-Zionism stance.

  • Bill Maher's a cunt

  • bill throws up the horns at 1:56 and 3:46; what a douche bag! bless you mos def! "umi says shine your light on the world" :)

  • @wetmurder nigger lover

  • @wetmurder i saw that man, a lot of people still dont believe...that's tragic

  • I love Mos Def, he's one of my favorite rappers, but he's kind of a paranoid fool when it comes to anything related to white people.

  • @josh2ee White supremacy is paranoia?

  • @ricardofuego I assume you mean "belief in the existence of white supremacists", since Mos Def is clearly not a white supremacist himself. And no, I don't think believing in that is paranoid. But I think his belief that all white people are out to get black people, that the white police are all trying to arrest black people, and beat them up when possible, that white people lie about going to the moon to try to prove superiority ... that shit is TOTALLY paranoid.

  • @ricardofuego Also, believing that Bin Laden had nothing to do with 9/11, and that it was set up by the US government (white people who love killing arabs), is TOTALLY paranoid

  • @josh2ee I didn't understand your answer so I ask again: white supremacy is paranoia?

  • @ricardofuego. Sorry, I thought I posted 2 replies, I guess the first one was lost somehow. I'll repeat. I assume that by "white supremacy" you mean "belief in the existence of white supremacists". And it's not paranoid to believe that they exist. But it's very paranoid to believe that white people can't be trusted, that they're all conspiring to bring down black people, that they lie about going to the moon for some reason, that they frame innocent black people for fun, and so on.

  • @josh2ee I think you have a wrong idea of what white supremacy is. The existence of a social structure that privileges one group above the other(s) doesn't need every individual of the privileged group to be "conspiring" to sustain that state of affairs. You don't need every rich person to be "conspiring" against the poor to sustain the class differences. Of course some of them counsciously defend the status quo, but it's not a conspiracy.

  • @ricardofuego White supremacy would be the actual supremacy of white people over other races. Belief in white supremacy is what you're talking about. Anyway, it's a tiny minority of white people who believe in white supremacy, and Mos Def seems to believe that a significant number of white people are in on it. It's not systemic, the vast majority of white people want equality, and are willing to help achieve it. The fact that a problem still exists doesn't mean that white people are causing it.

  • @josh2ee "White supremacy would be the actual supremacy of white people over other races." Yes, that is the case. It doesn't matter what the "vast majority" want or what they believe in, what matters is what they do. You can believe in equality and want everybody to be treated equal and still be part of white supremacy. I repeat: this is not the fault of individuals, it's a change that is needed in culture and social structure.

  • @josh2ee When the police, the job hiring, the education, the teaching of history, are really "color-blind", then it will be a sign that white supremacy is over. A way to get there is acknowledging one and for all that white people and their decendants beneffited from slavery of blacks. The controversy about reparations for slavery is a sign that white supremacy is still in effect.
