  • I am guessing that 99% of the people who watch this video have no idea that there has never been a sport so dominated by a specific region of the world Kenyans and Ethiopians dominate.... that is the point. The co-anchor is the real dipshit for the awkward silence.

  • ...

    wow

  • could have been a mic fail... (?)

  • hm..why didn't my comment post? i said the first announcer sounds like Larry David

  • The first announcer guy sounds like larry david

  • The commentator was being honest. Im saying a FACT, Kenyans and Ethiopians are usually in front and break the most records when it comes to long distance. Its like saying black people don't play hockey, im telling the truth, society has to put racism in every category they come across.

  • Why is this even an issue it wasn't even raciest. his comment had no malice

  • Its The other commentators fault for not saying anything. stupid.

  • Well he kind of left the other commentator for the vultures, he could have at least said something to ease the comment but maybe he was surprised as well and just got caught off guard.

  • Hilarious.

  • but it's true

  • ......awkwardd......

  • I didn't think it was a big deal.

  • Did he seriously just said "the white guy" ?? Wow!

  • the 2nd reporter is a pussy! He just shut up and left his buddy there to die. What an idiot.

  • the reaction to this clip says more about the state of the world than the guy commentating ever could. to state the truth these days (no matter how UN-PC) is frowned upon. The commentator wasn't being nasty or racist or even demeaning - he was being honest. it shows how much we, as a society, have been harangued into submission by our governments.

  • Ha! i was watching this live :D it was hilarious

  • Wow... Keep your thoughts to yourself grandpa.

  • F'n moron!

  • Not even slightly racist and it's true, if the other reporter had done his job like someone else said this woudn't even be on youtube.

  • its like when i see a hot dog eating contest that isnt won by some skinny asian kid.

  • the reporter was right, lolz i remember seein somethin like this on family guy :D

  • Lol at the moment of silence.

  • HA HA HA HA!!!! The dude just had to use the race card. Who the hell cares what race you are? If you want to win the marathon, train for it & win it.

  • does ne1 know how did he finished

  • Think that you guys in the USA are more cautious about race, I watched this and didn't think the comment was odd or even notice the pause.

  • Ouch, just needs the tumbleweed to drift across!

  • "White guy outfront,they dont take it seriously"

  • political correctness, hah. the guy is just being honest. It was funny actually when the other douche got brain dead!!!!

  • what an ass.

  • It was a dumb thing 4 reporter to say. Turned something awesome into something awkward. Embarrassing for the distance running sport. People are misinformed about the reason why Kenya etc. are so good right now. They kick but like china in gymnastics cuz its their national sport and they start early, and work together like an army. Science has shown birth is not a factor in distance running(long twitch muscle), unlike sprinting (short twitch muscle which is more genetic based)

  • ok to all u idiots about the race thing. yes it was a stupid thing 4 the reporter to say.

    HOWEVER distance running is not race based. It has to do with the Kenyan and Ethiopian training. They have altitude training naturally their country is high also they are paid as much as top football players are in the US. They also work together as a team (unlike us) and they have special training styles. The other countries r catching up. No ego at all in this. Distance running is about how not what.

  • the guy is be honest. i am kenyan, i do not see anything wrong in that statement . you people are too sensitive. stop being in denial.

  • whats the big deal.... black guys run faster than everybody else... especaly white people... and the kenyans win all the running events... so that is perfectly normal observation... its just all the p.c. bullshit that has people going wat an idiot to say that... like the jerkoff in the coment below me....

  • The guy was right, blacks dominate marathons. No need to be ashamed.

  • meh...

  • its a black joke in LA, not too uncommon

  • he picks his nose at :21 , big deal we all do

  • What an idiot to say that.

  • what an idiot that the other guy didn't reply

  • ohh i get it ^^

  • ohh... i gut it...

  • how much does the LosAngelesMarathon cost

  • about 100

  • thats ryan hall?

  • LOL

  • HAAHAHA

  • Ed is it one of these matters where the, the

    kenyans and ethiopians they see lets this is is be honest here, see a white out front,they don't take him seriously! ED? ED? ED? hey ED? ED? ED?

    oh shit! did i say something that i shouldn't have?

    ed? ed? ed? where the fuck are you ed?

    say something ed! fuck!!!!

    OH WELL..... here's that look at that break away....

  • that almost looks like the guy who shit himself

  • I think it's the truth

  • (ggurks) don't get it, even funnier.

  • lol, feel sorry for him abit, i bet he didn't mean it to come over like that. can you imagine how he felt when the penny dropped lol

  • the funny thing is that white didnt even win

  • lol..The pause was funny....but what he said was no big deal...there was a white guy in front the Kenyans and Ethiopians...and yea they probably dont take him seriously...lol

  • Someone speaks honestly and truthfully, and it's supposed to be uncomfortable?

  • lmao!

  • the awkward silence says it all

  • lol too funny. I heard the birds chirping in that uncomfortable silence. Too bad we couldn't see their expressions as well lol

  • isn't this the guy who shits himself in a marathon?

  • I think it was just from them streaming it live... lol

  • I was afraid someone was gonna crap themselves. LOL

  • That wasnt even a racist comment. The silence was not necessary, get a joke. Dave Chappell and Sarah Silerman have jokes that are harder than this.

  • gee that was a long pause lolz hahaha

  • HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAh!!!!

  • i wonder what looks and or jestures these two were giving each other.

  • The other commentator is the one who choked. You can't leave him hanging out there like that. Even disagreeing with him would be much more appropriate.

  • @jbrumundsmith exactly. poor excuse for a co-reporter. What a jerk.

  • wait.

    the white guy was probably right.

    lol.

    its like white people and guitars.

    Yea.. some black people ROCK on guitars.

    but uh.

    yea.

    not really much in 2000.

    maybe times are changing : )

  • lol

  • HAHAHA wat was he thinkin, white people dont flip out about stupid shit like this tho so he'll be aight

  • wow

  • wow

  • rofl i thought it was really uncomfortable when there was that long pauze.

    PAWS FTW!

  • hahahaha!

    "the Kenyans and Ethiopians, let's be honest, they see a White guy out front and they don't take him seriously!" "..........................."

    comedy gold

  • lol

  • pretty funny if it's real

  • Longest pause in the world.

  • The moment is when the reporter guy says the kenyans and ethiopians lol with a white guy in front lol.

  • Hahaha'

  • what's so uncomfortable? I don't get it

  • i guess the silence 00:23

  • the second guy just says something what some would consider racist, but it's not that uncomfortable.

  • I'm trying to figure out the same thing! lol. I missed it... maybe I need to turn my sound up?

  • @ggurks its steriotype remark hes say because the kenyans and ethiopeans see a white guy beating them they dont take that as a chalenge because kenyans and ethiopeans win all the marothons

  • oh that is cringey!!!!!!

  • so this was not the guy who took a diarrhea shit in his shorts while running

  • Hahah funny thing is I thought the same thing when I first watched.

  • i know what hes trying to say, white people cant run. i cant run for shit.

  • didnt this guy poop himself?

  • no that was in sweden

  • theyve really got palm tree's in sweden huh?

  • no i was refering to undead6992 that the guy that shit himself was in sweden.

  • oh alright my bad man. i think i remember that though lol

  • NICE..

  • i remember in st andrews tiger woods was playing for his first time they didnt took him seriously becuase he was half black and asian and because he was an american ...what about now??? even white people in america in golf in the 90s when tiger first showed up people was what the hell is a black guy is doing here in the pga. and now there kissig his ass to be his friend. tiger when he was young he got kicked out of a course becuase he was black . thank God hes the best

  • Perfectly accurate comment from the commentator. How many white guys have won gold at the world championships in marathon discipline in the last 20 years?

    A marathon is about how long it takes to cross the line, Kenyan athletes know if their pace will get them there first, if they felt threatened they would have gone with the break.

  • Baldini from Italy won the Olympics in 2000, an amazing even paced run.... )

  • So one then? I'm just saying, regardless of whether or not you think that the commentator's comment was racist. My own experience as a runner shows that Kenyan and Ethiopian distance athletes are supreme. Look at this year's world champs. 10,000 metre and marathon dominated by kenyans and ethiopians. Also In my experience Kenyans and Ethiopians tend to not to be white. Just an observation.

  • There have been a few good spaniards in recent years too and the portugese have a sub 2.10 group of runners. Also, Mr Brown (British) 4th in 2000 and 2004 Olympics. European or white runners as this post denotes can produce good results if they run even paced, they can't respond to big changes of pace etc like the eastern africans can inject.

    I am a white marathon runner myself, but for me a good performance is somewhere near 2.45 for the marathon, so I'm not even close to their level )

  • 2:45 is good! Better than me, marathon is too much like hard work though for me. I prefer 10k because I'm probably quite lazy for a runner.

  • That's because of their background. It has nothing to do with their skin color.

  • I agree, this is touched upon in "The Spirit of the Marathon" which is an amazing documentary. Daniel Njenga talks about how he had to run 10 miles to school everyday from a young age. He was training to become a pro athlete without even realising it. You must admit this sort of thing happens more in devloping countries though, and unfortunately most of these countries are in East Africa, and most people in East Africa aren't white.

  • "unfortunately most of these countries are in East Africa, and most people in East Africa aren't white. "  haha what do you mean by "unfortunately" ? lol is it a bad thing that many great runners are black? lol

  • Ha, no I meant it's unfortunate for East Africa that they live in conditions where they are forced to travel miles on foot everyday to get water and go to school etc etc. Having said that it did work out pretty well for Njenga, maybe if my school bus hadn't picked me up outside my house everyday I would be a better athlete, or maybe I just wouldn't have gone to school!

  • oh haha . i guess i got the wrong impression. sorry about that!

  • that is a myth. why is it only in rift valley? kids go to school in eastern kenya, (long distance), kids go to school in western, kids go to school in central, why are they not good runners? othere contries in east africa, like uganda, tanzania, rwanda, congo, they go to school even longer distance that in rift valley, why are they not faster? this runner to school thing don't make sense. wilson kipketer, lived 200 meters from his school, he did not run

  • that is a myth. why is it only in rift valley? kids go to school in eastern kenya, (long distance), kids go to school in western, kids go to school in central, why are they not good runners? othere contries in east africa, like uganda, tanzania, rwanda, congo, they go to school even longer distance that in rift valley, why are they not faster? this runner to school thing don't make sense. wilson kipketer, lived 200 meters from his school, he did not run, look where he is now.

  • Yep, same thing Haile Gebrselassie. Another advantage is that they run barefoot a lot, so they become stronger than us and develop good habits with their form right off the bat. It's sad, but their poverty is their secret weapon. Maybe if we made kids in the U.S. run to and from school every day...........

  • absolutely not the same at all. Since when do kenyans dominate golf?

  • lol what? His statement was pretty much accurate, in a marathon if someone takes the lead who you don't think is a threat you don't move on him, and kenyans and ethiopians have been overwhelmingly dominate in the marathon for years so if they see a white guy make a big move early/mid race they arent going to freak out and push the pace to catch him.

  • how was this racist? jeez, nowadays even looking at a 'coloured' person is being racist...

  • Uncomfortable? What was?

  • Drexeler, do you like living in a trailer park jerking off to Hitlers picture everynight. If you ever want to get laid you need to stop being an ignorant racist redneck little bitch. If I saw you I would kick the shit out of your dumb fat ass. You represent southern trash well.

  • lol I thought I heard some crickets chirping in that pause

  • there was

  • Why is more crime committed by blacks than by whites?

  • In case you forget, dipshit, we are human, "black" "white" "asian" doesnt matter, if you belive that a man with different skin colour is dumber than you, or a low grade human, you sir are an ignorant fuckwit. What the hell is wrong with you?Ya think u belong to a pure race?....According to Hitler i am an arian came from the center of the earth and i am above all other ppl....thats how you think, like Hitler, FUCK YOU.

  • I was going to reply by explaing my position in a message to you. But I see that you, zoidbetag, are from Sierra Leone. Knowing that, and the reputation of that "nation", I don't think I need to say anything else. Proves my point.

  • hahahaha, yeah right, im from sierra leone, XD....aah well, i dont know the reputation of that country :B

  • Well, that is what you put in your profile, so? Anyway, if you are going to lie, and put a ficticious country into your profile, at least learn something about the country. Ever hear the phrase "blood diamonds"?

  • well, i use this acc to watch any vid i want....soo i just put random country and random age to skip.... and i dont think i have to learn about that country in order to add it to my profile

  • Your comment about blacks being less intelligent than other races is a fallacy. I am an engineer and I have had many people of African background that I can only dream of being as smart as. Aerospace Engineers, Civil Engineers, Mechanical Engineers, the list goes on... these are the future of American Society, so I think they contribute more than just violent crime. Maybe if you educated yourself a little more you can be as intelligent as the "black" people I know.

  • drexelur1, the fact is that blacks do contribute a high violent crime rate in America, but the reason is not because they are black, its because of their situation. What you're saying about them not being able to build a civilization in history is also a lie. The USA was built on the back of Black Slave Labor and one of the main reasons that blacks are in such a bad situation is because people like you will never let them prosper.

  • How could you even say something like that? It's people like you that the WORLD could be better without.

  • Racist redneck a holes.

  • ARAN153, the "Coons" you're talking about are faster than everyone else because they train twice a day everyday sometimes running more than 150 miles a week. You and I could only dream of running that much and we'll never be elite athletes. That was a very ignorant and racist comment. Someday people like you will be gone.

  • i nce watched a tv show episode that said the only time you see a black guy run is when he is holding a football, or away from a bank after he robed it. I guess this is another reason too.

  • Also to comment on why Kenyans and Ethiopeans run faster. The fact is that they live at altitudes that are 8K ft. and higher therefore have larger lungs, hearts, and more blood. The second reason is because most of the children from these specific areas do not have parents that own cars so from grade school have to run to school. I've read of one guy who had to run 3 miles to school and 3 miles back M-F from kindergarten until high school. Try to think of one "white" guy that fits that profile.

  • Only 3 miles? More like 30 miles.

  • Forest Gump? I know he's fake but he's the only one who comes to mind.

  • I watched this live and the reason the guy didn't respond is because he didn't hear the question. Second of all the "white" guy ended up losing steam in mile 21 and ended up in about 10th place. He was beat by the Kenyans and Etheopians. This only seems like an awkward moment if you didn't watch the entire broadcast.

  • lol

  • Whats so uncomfortable?

  • he made a kind of racial comment "they see a white guy in front and they don't take him seriously" lol

  • And here I was, bracing for the guy to poop himself.

  • awkward moments are fun

  • FAIL!

    that guy got fired im sure.

  • lets see white people sports are.......tenis? i pretty sure alot the people there are kinda racist

  • If I was a Kenyon and saw a white guy in front who had never had to run for his food, I wouldn't be too worried about him either. Its why they call the white guy a "rabbit".

  • I was expecting someone to poop themselves, but stereotypical comments are uncomfortable too.

  • I was half expecting some poor sucker to poop himself too. This was pretty bad.

  • Wow....talk about an akward pause......

  • its like saying ,Im not going to take Tiger woods seriously because hes an american and half asian.

  • Thats completely different. Tiger woods has been dominating the sport of golf for the past decade. When he was first starting out Im sure people didn't take him seriously but now that he is that good he demands respect. Whereas there is not one white athlete that can hang with the Kenyans or Ethiopians in a long distance race.

  • You're a fucking idiot. These marathon runners are mostly native Africans whose ancestors were likely never were enslaved nor has ever stepped foot on American soil to be "bred".

  • not racist...just something u wouldnt normally hear on national television

  • those stereotypes are just started because africans naturally have slightly longer legs through evolution and caucasians have a naturally broader chest.minimal if at all

  • Saying that black people naturally run faster is wrong. They're only furthering the stereotypes with no acual knowledge.

  • I don't think this was racist...perhaps taboo, and most definitely not politically correct as we can see with the responses in this comment stream....sure was funny though!!!

  • It's not racist to refer to someone's colour you fucking idiots.

  • Black people are generally better athletes, you don't often find black gymnasts or swimmers though, and virtually no cyclists at the top levels which I find strange considering the build of sprinters would be suited for track especially. I guess that's why the winter olympics were designed, gives us white guys a chance 8P

  • There are many reasons why blacks outperform whites in some sports and vise versa... and it has nothing to do with race.

  • Well said. It's not that bad anyway. It's often to see a black person in front. He's just saying it as it is. It's really not offensive, but you have to be amazingly careful with what you say, coz even here people are offended by something stupid. Just grow up or piss off if you're offended.

  • Many white riders have won a marathon

  • racist mofo

  • you guys are idiots

  • Black people also don't get sunburn. big fuckin deal.

  • White men can't run

  • heh, live streaming Race video.

  • Well Kenyans and Ethiopians.... they have to run fast, who wouldn't run fast if a tiger or a lion is behind you, this does not have to do anything with race.

  • your stupid, you act as if kenyans come across tigers every day. its 2009, we have cities ya ignorant fuck.

  • but you do come across lions and tigers sometimes?

  • sometimes.

  • LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ROFL!!!!!!!!!

  • Jesus Christ man. Tables are flat, chairs are for sitting and Kenyeans and Ethopeans are fast runners!

  • It reduces our sport to a stereotype. And any comment that reduces a human being to a sterotype is inflammatory.

  • oooooooooohhhh

  • honestly I dont see how this is discrinimatory to black peaople, I mean I am white but it seems to me that he is saying black peaople are genarally faster which I would have to say I agree with

  • saying that black people are generally faster is discrimination, but i agree with you

  • lol... discrimination? How is pointing out of fact discrimination? Black people generally have curlier hair, is that discrimination too?

  • There also assholes.

  • if you say it as an insult then it is, and that could be considered an insult to white people

  • Kenyans and Ethiopians (eastern Africa people) win long distance races. While black americans win sprint races because 99% are descent of west coast africans. A white american is more likely to win a marathon (or 5.000 or 10.000 m) than a black american.

  • hahahaha that was sooo funnny

  • Hmmmm...maybe it was more uncomfortable while it was happening.

  • LMFAO!!!

  • Yeah, running is fun. Poor self-steem is stupid.

    Cheers and God bless us all.

    :D

  • ortified, red's "brothers" are prone to certain behaviors in response to an oppressive society which begets poverty in which these actions you speak of are a natural expression in people of all races. No one who is not black can relate to life as an African American. You can identify with certain aspects of oppression, but in the end, your experience of this society is your own.

  • Obama said that a presidential campaign is like running a marathon, and that Kenyans typically win marathons. He's half Kenyan. It wasn't racist then, it's not racist now.

  • lol

    its not really racist, i mean i watched the olympics and holy crap those kenyans can RUN!
