  • I miss listening to this man. The intellectual sensibilities he brought to the air were clear, concise and occasionally emotional as circumstance demands and being circumspect in speech is something we really need to give the independence movement a shot of brilliance in the arm.

  • Here comes The Black Avenger, he's riding out of his Colorado Rocky Mountain caaaave,

    He fights for truth and justice, a real American Hero, The Black Avenger always saves the dayyyy!

    Thanks, Ken!

  • The pathologies in the black communities such as crime, illegitimacy and violence are the psychological effects of this systematic effort to stifle our progress. That's not an excuse, it's a diagnosis that will lead to the remedy. Most blacks, including Sharpton and Jackson, understand that while we did not put ourselves here, it's our responsibility to get ourselves out. Nobody's sitting around waiting for "whitey" to make it all better.

  • @ecmcomichael Who says that there IS an excuse for black on black crime or children our of wedlock? I think it's time that little strawman is put to rest.  Now, did blacks put themselves in the position that their in today? Well, no, blacks' current conditions are the result of a 150 year post-slavery campaign to undermine black progress by way of Black Codes, Jim Crow, black industrial towns burned down and slain leaders.

  • oh yeah for a man to love his oppressor(according to him)

    so is very interesting

  • Learned about Mr Hamblin by way of his book Pick A Better Country. Didn't mean a whole lot to me at the time as I was just checking out various political viewpoints. But now that I think back, it was my point of awakening. It introduced Conservatism to me. Showed me the side of the fence I should have been playing on. Switched and haven't looked back. Common Sense = Win.

  • i listened to ken hamblin all the time! i wonder how hes doing?

  • Outstanding. I have no doubt that everyone would like to have The Black Avenger back on Radio. Yes, we certainly do miss him.

  • Luck and your social status growing up plays a huge part in becoming big time. Not everyone can be rich, and no I'm not saying hard work doesn't matter, hard work is also very important, but if not for that one photo by Hamblin he might not of gotten the chance to be who he is today.

  • I'm about as liberal as they come, but I actually always liked Ken Hamblin. I always believed he believed what he said and said what he believed. In a world full of lying politicians, republicans and democrats, there's a lot to respect in a self made man unafraid to speak his mind. I actually think he woke up one day and said, "Skip it. I'm just going to be me. Like it or not."

  • Ken Hamblin is an american hero. His dad moved out when he was a kid. He was raised by his aunt and mother. Ken fought racism in the military. Got a pilot's license, became a professional photographer and eventually had a national talk show. His story is a testament to the opportunities available in this country you can't find anywhere else.

    When the media wants a comment from a black leader they should call Ken Hamblin not Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton!

  • @ryanexpress76 No, thanks.

  • Having formerly lived in Denver, I had the privilege to meet Ken Hamblin at Park Meadows one afternoon in the late 90's. Having been a fan of his talk radio show, we had a great conversation. What a gentleman! I wish he were on the air still.

  • I miss listening to the Black Avenger!

  • Where is Ken now? Alan Keyes was on infowars this afternoon. America needs Ken now! I miss listening to him.

  • hork111,

    People like you are reprehensible. Men like Ken Hamblin, who doesn't wear his race on his sleeve, have transcended racism. It is slime like you who refuses to live in the present, feigning victimhood and never letting anyone forget you're black first. Can't have a black man thinking independently now can we, without him being an Uncle Tom? It is attitudes like yours that promote racism and hatred. Kudos to Ken, Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson, Lynn Swann and others like them who see truth.

  • First of all Michael, thank you for the accolades. Ken Hamblin has transcended racism? His whole show is built around a virulent hatred of black folk and a sickening head-bobbing slavish toadyism to whites. First black photog for the Detroit Free Press. Affirmative action didn't help him out? Yet now this boot-licking toady says affirmative action is bad. What about the 200+ years of affirmative action for white males? His two-by-four Negro lips are mum on that.

  • hork111,

    Being white, I guess I failed to get the memo on the affirmative action available for me. Apparently I've missed out on all the favors afforded to other whites. I disagree with you on Ken's show. And Lord knows, the black community deserves no criticism - all is well. If you're white and criticize it, you're a racist. If you're black and criticize it, you're an ass kiss. Meanwhile, the black community at large continues to degenerate thanks to YOUR denial of the problem. Great job!

  • Michael These days, white women are reaping the benefits of affirmative action yet you don't hear Hamblin vilifying them. Could that Dutch/Irish wife of his have something to do with that? Like Limbaugh, Hamblin would have you believe this country's malaise can be laid solely at the feet of those pesky blacks. Black people are the favorite flogging target of right-wing radio and some of us are just fed up with it.

  • hork111,

    So let me get this straight, in a hiring situation for instance, a less qualified black woman gets hired instead of the more highly qualified white man because it meets the "quota" that government established for that business, and the white man benefitted by not getting hired? The white guy came out on top? This is justice? Also, regarding your contention about Ken and talk radio, you're wrong. My bet is you haven't ever really listened to right-wing talk radio, ever.

  • hork111,

    Furthermore, you know what? Ken Hamblin's criticism of our society did not stop with the black community. He would criticize ANYONE who deserved it. Also, some of us are getting tired of hearing that the WHITEcommunity is responsible for all the ills in the world and we're DAMN sure fed up with THAT! So until the black community starts to self-examine and begin to cure its own ills, nothing's going to change. What happened 50 - 200 years ago is irrelevant. Live in the present, man.

  • Michael - if you conservatives were really cunning you would open the floodgates to affirmative action. Flood Ivy League schools with unqualified blacks. They would graduate a cadre of lawn jockeys like Clarence Thomas and Ken Hamblin, who would DEMAND an end to affirmative action. Paradoxes work, but you guys are too short-sighted to pull it off. About the "unqualified" black thing, we've faced injustice for 300 years. White males have immunity from injustice? Says who?

  • hork111,

    Examine your own words and see the hypocrisy. Black males (or females) are to have immunity from injustice? SAYS WHO? Think about it and then think about what you just said. Perhaps it will sink in, your perveted way of thinking.

  • Thanks Michael. That my thinking is "perverted" as you say sank in quite some time ago. Quite astute for you to pick up on that. It is sad that seemingly decent folk such as yourself hang on every word of that hatemongering Hamblin. Is he speaking for you? Let that lawn jockey Hamblin go and live in peace, my brother.

  • Michael, listen up. I submit that Ken Hamblin should be the poster boy for a new subspecies of humanity - Homo Familiaris. Just as the dog Canis Familiaris is a subspecies of the wolf Canis Lupus, Ken Hamblin isn't homo sapiens (thinking man), but homo familiaris (dog man) with his fawning, groveling, obsequious behavior. And he's not even a Molosser or mastiff, but one of those abased lap poodles who leaps to hind legs at his master's bidding.

  • hork111,

    While it may be therapeutic for you to call Ken Hamblin names because his opinion differs from yours, it's not very productive is it? There's actually something in you that resents not being able to be more like him. You need to take a step back and take an OBJECTIVE look at your life. Those who are black who fit seemlessly into society are those who are just simply people, not BLACK people. My best friend at work is black and we do many activities together because he's just Dennis!

  • Michael, Michael. You sound semi-intelligent, perhaps you've heard of GIGO? Acroynym for garbage in/garbage out? The pathology and maladjustment you so eagerly highlight in the black community was created by the USA. Your beloved country treated black people like animals and savages and that is what you reaped. BTW if you have black friends what the heck are you doing praising Clarence "Uncle" Thomas? Do you gift your friend Dennis an audiobook of The Turner Diaries? Mein Kampf, Herr Michael?

  • hork111,

    You couldn't be more wrong. There are multitudes of very well-adjusted blacks who refuse to be cast as victims and integrate into our diverse society seamlessly. Slavery has not existed in this country since the 1860's. Don't you think it's time you got over it? Also, how do you account for black people who visit or move to America who come from abroad or abhorant conditions, but don't have the chip on their shoulder like so many black Americans, who feel they have special entitlement?

  • hork111,

    Furthermore, your response about the situation with the black community being created by the USA is also errant. The vast majority of whites are more than willing to accomodate others from different ethnic groups. We have welfare, Head Start, affirmative action, United Negro College Fund and so many other programs to help blacks and minorities. Every opportunity is presented for anyone who wishes to take advantage, to be able to succeed in this life.

  • Hallelujah! There's hope for you, Michael. You are right for a change. You don't hear me calling for reparations. But back to the central point, the fact that you idolize a racist named Ken Hamblin shows you share his vitriol and venom directed at African-Americans. Do you refute this? if not, then why do you listen to/defend him? Every community has warts. White kids shoot up schools and murder classmates wholesale. Where is the outrage directed at them?

  • hork111,

    I agree with Ken Hamblin about his criticism of the black community. And you're right hork111, no ethnic community is perfect, no matter what their background. That's a condiditon of being human. However, we're talking about the black community now. And with regard to your comment about school shootings accomplished by white students, you don't think there's outrage every time one of those tragedies occur? If that's what you think then you'd be wrong.

  • Also, there's absolutely no excuse for the crime that exists in the black community, much of it black on black crime. Nor is there an excuse for black men to create children out of wedlock, then bolt and avoid their responsibility for raising the children. These are not white people's fault and rests soley on the shoulders of the black person doing the decision-making to be a criminal or act immorally. It is typical for liberals like you to always blame others and not accept responsiblity.

  • What Ken Hamblin, Larry Elder, Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson and to some degree even Bill Cosby, among others, are trying to get across to the black community at large is to accept responsiblity for your own actions and that the groundwork has been laid for anyone, no matter how humble their beginnings, to be successful in this great nation of ours. And I've seen it time after time with people I've met in my life, no matter what their ethnic background might be. Everybody has the opportunity here.

  • @ecmcomichael

    You had me up until you brought up Jesse Lee Peterson. If you don't see him for what he really is, then you are a fool. Jesse Lee Peterson makes his living by saying some of the most ridiculous things about the black community he can conjure up. He says what white conservatives want to say and he is the antithesis to the NAACP and Al Sharpton, and that will always keep him in demand when Fox needs a black person to forgive Dog Chapman and only recognize reverse racism.

  • @ecmcomichael Some such "leaders" in Buffalo's East Side could use some of the same advice from Messrs. Hamblin, Cosby, Elder, and even Walter Williams/Thomas Sowell right now. Downtown Buffalo recently had a gang-related shooting that eventually got Buffalo's black community enraged more so by the reportage thereof, as opposed to outrage over the self-destructive behaviors in their own ranks.

  • Anything you say Mrs. Hamblin, and ask your elementary school teacher to correct you.

  • Ken Hamblin is a True American Icon. I'm just a White Boy from Alabama but proud to call him Brother.

  • I suppose your a good 'ole' white boy who loves black people? Or maybe certain kinds of blacks?

  • I respect blacks that are not trash that depend on the Government for their every need from cradle to grave and have pride in themselves, not like the scum that wears their jeans like prison queers and think they are cool.

  • And I share your same sentiments when I deal with whites that fall in those same categories. But I'm not prejudice against gay people or you would call 'queer.'

  • I met ken in denver at the airport, nice guy, like to see him back on the radio!!! come on rush or someone let him sub!!!!

  • God bless you Ken Hamblin; loved your radio show; where'd you go? Hope you get back on the air....love hearing Shirley Q Liquor et al....what a riot! Right on bro!

  • He is the real embodiment of "Uncle Ruckus" from Boondocks. How could someone so intellegent be so ass-backwards?

  • because he does not swallow your "hate whitey"rhetoric he is ass backwards?

  • used to listen to ken when I lived in mobile, and was in denver met him at the airport, talked to him and told him I used to fly a seneca for freight, he wanted me to come see his seneca, had a picture made with him at the plane, was just there last week picking up the hawker and turned around and there was ken's plane, flash back, he is a good guy.

  • Fuck ken "you do know im a colored guy right?" hamblin!!!!!!!!He was a sham doing it all for the ratings! What a clown!

  • Nigga please!

  • You cant cant deal with the truth! We need Ken Hamblin back today.

  • We need him like a ugly cold sore.

  • We need him like an ugly cold sore.

  • true dat!

    but the niggas dont want the brotha to tell them the real deal cause if ken is telling the truth then that makes then out to be dumb ass brain washed robots of the demoncrat party.

  • As always, Mr. Hamblin communicates his thoughts eloquently, intelligently and passionately. I really do miss his show. Does anyone know if he is on the air these days?

  • No! He is not on the radio anymore. Thank god. She did us a wonderful service.

  • Amen, she sure did. A Jew in Buchenwald asked his rabbi if he could eat pork, he's starving. The rabbi goes sure, but you can't suck the bones. Ken Hamblin sucks the bones. I bet if Nathan Bedford Forrest were around Hamblin would suck his bone.

  • I listened often to the radio show- It was an interesting perspective and most of all, I loved the personal stories- My favorite was the annual Christmas Eve program in which he would discuss and dream about the finer things in life. A little culture in our brash world if you will.

  • I miss Ken Hamblin. Heck, I'd vote for him for president.

  • I second that!!! He was awesome.

  • Too bad he is not president now. He is everything BO is not: logical thinking (vs. leading by polling numbers), wise (vs ivy league educated in theories), has real world work experience (vs community organizing) and is color blind (vs using race when it is expedient to his goals). I'll bet KH could come up with a better plan for us than BO's following of Bush's lead of bankrupting America.

  • If you want an uneducated "Sambo" in the White House, then you would love Ken Hamblin. And Bush does not even measure up in intelligence and integrity than Obama.

  • so exactly what makes you think Obama is super intelligent? His high IQ? oh well nobody actually knows what that number is. Get real, he's the teleprompter president.

  • Shut your mouth! You must be a Rush Limbo lover. Your probably fat, greasy, ugly, and racist like him. Now climb back under the rock that you came from.

  • Curious George is so stupid that he released none of his school records! His Orangutan Negress is so stupid that she didn't even make it as a practicing attorney!

  • Okay. Mr. Rogers.

  • Wow, descend into insults when you hear the unfunny truth. what a pitiful way to debate.

  • Who's debating?

  • lonewolf seemed to be, and you go off calling him a racist for disagreeing with you, correct me if I'm wrong. Personally I don't think Ken's uneducated

  • @teenflunkie  Me too!

  • Media events can happen at the media or at the court coverage...

  • air- What are you talking about, Ken Hamblin's radio show was wonderful. The fact that you called him an uncle tom is very interesting to me. What do you mean by this? Do you mean that he is somehow less black because he has views that are not of the liberal mainstream. Or, are you questioning his intelligance in some way. You also acuse him of making racist statements, do you have any proof of this? I wouldn't think so, I listened to him countless times and never heard a racist comment.

  • By 'uncle tom' you must mean any black or part black person who sees themselves as more than just the sum of their Race. When you say Racist do you mean that he may have pointed out some of your or your peers faults ?

  • I speak for myself, not my peers. Black people are individuals like any other race, and many people tend to lump them all together in a negative fashion. In my opinion, Hamblin advocated this view point on his silly talk show back in the 1990's, and as you can see, he is no longer on the air. airjor1, Sacramento, Ca.

  • I agree in part. Putting Ken in the Uncle Tom spot seems like 'lumping' as he also is an individual in my opinion. The views he pushed are still prevalent among others like Rush as was mentioned who is going strong. I'm guessing you meant 'racist against "his own people" ' when you said racist. As 'black' individuals this is as good as an oxymoron. Ken pushed a side that needs(ed) to see the light of day .

  • Rush is a fat old ugly racist, and they both go strong with ignorant racist people who can't think and reason for themselves. We don't need to see the light by these terrible uneducated racist individuals. Have a good day, and vote for Barack Obama in November 2008. airjor1

  • You must be on of those black people that can't speak proper english, has a gold tooth, pants hanging down, and can't get a job. Take the gold tooth out, learn proper english, pull your pants up and earn respect. People are not going to respect you because your black and full of hate. Respect is something you EARN. Then you can get a good job and understand that Rush and Hamblin are right and you are wrong. You won't resort to name calling, which shows you are the ignorant uneducated one.

  • No, I'm an old timer just like you. And I am not resorting to name calling, I'am presenting the facts. Telling the truth, doesn't make a person white and full of hate, because then they would be a horrible creature like yourself. So maybe you need to grow and stop worrying about being respected by black people. Just remain an ignorant backwards racist like yourself, and keep listening to those racist fools. Because education will never be your friend.

  • Glad someone finally put this up!

  • good job
