  • Lets put Barry Soetoro in the unemployment line in 2012.

    Hope and change my ass!

  • "The most important poverty program is a job." Yet, a survey of 23 U.S. cities found that eleven of the cities reported an INCREASE in the number of EMPLOYED homeless people. Nineteen percent of homeless people are employed. More than 50% of single mothers are below the poverty line. Even with a job you can be impoverished. A "job" alone isn't the answer. I believe there are plenty of people who would much rather have a grant for education/training than a handout.

  • damned if you do and damned if you don't. i think obama answered that question the way a president. as a black person, i do not want any president paying particular attention to any race of people. government is suppose to uphold the constitution for the betterment of all its citizens regardless of race, class, creed, etc. so i think obama nailed that question. if only his actions as president spoke louder maybe we would be better-off.

  • When Bush left office African American unemployment was 13.7%. Now the right once to condemn Obama for it being 15% especially since they simply didn't care about unemployment for blacks.

  • I don't believe anything that comes out of his mouth anymore. He must think we're stupid. He hasn't done a damn thing for us, African-Americans. He can't just start to come around now and think that makes it right.  We can't eat his words, we can't pay our bills with his visits to African-American communities, at this late date. He is no longer my president. I won't be voting for him. I hope other Blacks are smart and don't support him. He betrayed us, and we shouldn't just forget it.

  • the 3 biggest LIES by a president-

    1. read my lips- no new taxes-

    2. I didn't inhale-

    3. I just released my long form birth certificate-

    Which one is the LIE of the century? Ask Alan Keyes or Pastor James David Manning-

    They R decent black men who will loudly state- OBAMA IS A FRAUD-

    Keyes & Manning both refuse to call him president and Pastor Manning is shocked at his brazen audacity to FORGE a birth certificate and then put it on COFFEE-CUPS & T-SHIRTS for Democratic fundraisers-

  • The commentary would be good, if we lived in an alternate universe where Obama's an honest actor.

  • obama isnt really black, he's a white man dipped in chocolate

  • Obama has taken Black people for granted and insulted us. He can't hide his disdain and it will cost him in 2012.

    The approval figures are whatever the rigged polls want them to say. I live in Detroit. He has no idea how Black people feel about him in the hood. It isn't pretty and he needs Black people to get elected. He offers nothing. to us He deserves nothing.

  • Forget that Coward Obama! He was to stand up for the poor, for the lower middle & the working middle class, instead he was a Trojan horse, the quintessential Uncle Tom, House Nigger, and like all minorities of that mentality (irregardless of being biracial) he thrive on self-validation giving from Caucasians and anything he deems prosperous enough

    

  • Black unemployment was far lower with W Bush at the helm

  • @AthenasConquest UMM....THATS NOT OBAMAs FAULT, its becuase Maybe there wasnt a "Recession" Bush Pussy was in Office!!!!!! Did ya think about that DUMBFUCK.

    They let Barrack Win cus America was ALready in abad Place. So lets throw in a Black Man...and let him deal and fix the Crisis.

  • Obama needs to start worrying about losing 2012 because he will. HA.

  • This is the first black president. He is the hope of the black population. Where else are they going to go? Obama knows this. And what a shameless bastard he is to take them for granted. Same old problem. No spine. Bernie Sanders puts Obama to shame as far as guts and compassion for people in need. How did Obama become such a watered down, run of the mill politician?

  • President has to take a page from a former President- President Clinton said I feel your pain. Why can't he say something like that??

  • Wait,wait a minute soetorro has 80% approval amongst African-Americans... BULLSHIT~!

    CENK... Man where is homie... Man how you going to have a white guy talking about what our community views this arshloche wall street smuck licker...

    We know soetorro is a fraud to the tune of $800B twice over...coincidentally his lobbyist friends donated to him...

    Please put on the homie...man Cenk why not have the black guy talking about black issues?

  • @WorldInRevolt If you white idiots would STOP VOTING FOR REPUBLICANS, this country wouldn't be in the mess it's in right now! So, sorry, you guys are to blame!

  • @TresJolie7 Obama is a Republican. He hasn't done a fucking democratic or liberal thing since he stepped into office. He is just a Wall street and banker's puppet. Come on. Bush led us into a fucking war, if Obama really wanted to make big changes, he could have at least tried. The problem is we need a true Democrat, not a pupet that makes all these promisses and doesn't even attempt to follow through with them.

  • @WorldInRevolt No, white people ARE the problem. Who do you think votes these republicans into office?

  • @TresJolie7 Do you not know up until last year all of Washington was controlled by the Democratic party but it's always the republicans never the Dems. Maybe you should follow politics and learn some facts. The dems did not have to have a single republican vote to pass whatever they wanted. So how did the Republicans hurt the dems from succeeding? They were given a chance and blew it and now you still claim it's the other party. Think for yourself and you will find non of them care about you.

  • Obama=House Negro

  • I didn't think it was possible, but this guy is even worse than Cenk.

  • The illegals got all the jobs the blacks could have had. Obama favors the illegals over blacks. Sorry brother, but that light skinned mulatto just don't care about yo black ass!

  • @Sixdouble5321 Allow me to be the First to tell you he doesn't care about anyone else in this country, especially military. This "Executive Order" (Royal Edict) Amnesty also subsidizes illegals' way into college, in-state tuition, no matter what State they invade, when they're not even FROM the States, and after graduation, these Chosen Illegals will compete for the Jobs Americans DO want!

    He's also hamstrung the military, preventing us from going for a Quick Win...Make your own Bush 3 joke!

  • @EPGAH....we think alike.

    Vote in again in 2012 like 2010!

  • @Sixdouble5321 Go to college.

  • @TresJolie7.....Did already. Why don't you go back to Africa and show White people how great the blacks are by creating a society that is better than ours. Oh, sorry, you can't; you are sub human.

  • Obama should have fought these fights years ago. He should have been a champion for the working man, but he wasn't. Now he sees his hopes of re-election fading and he is talking tough again. I'll vote for him because I can't live in a country ruled by Rick Perry or Michelle Bachmann, but the joy I felt when Obama was elected has turned to disgust for his weakness.

  • @Jusoon...only a true idiot would vote for Obama after his failure as a president. Anyone else that runs against him would be better. How does it feel to know you are going to vote for the worst president in history?

  • @Jusoon If you voted for Obama in 2008 to prove you're not a racist, vote for ANYTHING else in 2012, to prove you're not Learning Disabled.

    Einstein once said, "Trying the same thing over and over and expecting a different result is the definition of insanity"...Or there's the saying of a dog going back to its own vomit?

  • So there is a problem with the 'African American' unemployment rate?And the problem is separated from all other unemployment rates?We better give this colored skin an advantage.

    STOP THIS NONSENSE AT ITS SOURCE!

    Why are their unemployment rates specifically based on LINE OF HERITAGE in this DEMOCRACY.

    If its not a DEMOCRACY and its still ran like one then their leaving it up to us to say what it is.I guess the bible called it the ANTICHRIST, not that I read it, but our damned owners might agree.

  • Obama doesn't give a FUCK about black people! I only voted for him because I was picking the lesser of 2 evils. Or so I thought!

  • I'm black and have gotten at least 3 jobs since Obama's been in office. I can't complain. But, that 50% drop out rate among black males is definitely an opportunity crusher for sure. Black men, you gotta step ya game up.

  • Comment removed

  • @ByTheGram Sorry, but Obama's not to blame for black males 50% DROP OUT RATE! How about YOU shut the fuck up and step your game up!

  • @TresJolie7

    How about you go tell the first Black person to their face what you just typed, bitch

  • @grossda410 I'm black and i'll tell ANY black man to his FACE. I don't give a fuck! I voted for Obama so that black MEN could have someone to look up to besides some fucking rapper! I thought black men would step it up and be inspired to get their education after the election of Obama, but I guess I was wrong.

  • @TresJolie7 Sorry, I Really had high hopes for OBAMA but we should have known a person with that many promises is sure to lose in the end. You cant promise haven and deliver hell. Obama is just a seat filler now and has lost all the power given to him and has nobody to blame but himself.

  • @TresJolie7 I never said he was to blame? Btw you have no idea what level I am on, probably would not believe me if I told you. Go back to to the 90s when people used to still say "step your game up"

  • Cultural History of Racism + Class Differences in a Capitalist System = Racial Segregation. Stop the differentiating, we are all the Same. ☭

  • @noprofitmaximierung When you give millions of people free money, free housing, free food, free healthcare, and free God-knows-what, and tell them they deserve it because white people hate them, you create an enormous class of dependent, expectant and resentful people. Then the rest of us, the working taxpayers who foot the bill for all this become weary, cynical and just as resentful. We "hate" them for mooching off us, not skin-color! Hence, racism is reborn with every generation.

  • @EPGAH Well put. Fuck Class Differences. This system comes from a time where people believed that genes control peoples actions, we know that the environment in which one lives is the personality forming criteria. Why not let these people decide in what systems they live? Democratization of the Workplace, direct democracy instead of our representative one, and lets start to try to get what neuro-biologists have been talking about for decades, Collective Intelligence.

  • Fucking bullshit President. Get his dumbass out.

  • Why is a distinction being made between "African-American" unemployment as opposed to all unemployment? We are all Americans regardless of skin color, sex, or creed, and we're all equally affected by unemployment and the bad economy. I am tired of all these artificial barriers we insist on erecting between us just so we can highlight imaginary differences.

  • @armyveteran101st Because profiteers make hella money saying, "My race is discriminated against! The fault is clearly not our own actions, or the economy/sociopolitical climate at large, it's a conspiracy against US!"

    Also, makes a convenient shield for the incompetent. If someone points out Obama really dropped the ball, the response is not "No he isn't!", it's "You're only saying that because he's BLACK!"

  • Obama = Bush 3.

    Man, this guy talking is the shit. Spot on!

  • Obama = Bush 3.

  • How do you equate union workers, the auto industry, and the black community in the same category? They should not be.

  • Stop being afraid obama

    Just stop...

  • How is a shitty minimum wage job going to get anybody out of poverty? Because that's all you can get without job experience. And most young people have little or no job experience. So a job really isn't going to help young people unless it's a living wage. Otherwise you won't even make enough money to pay rent let alone anything else. Or you can always go to college and take out thousands of dollars in loans that you have to pay back when you can't find a job after you graduate.

  • niggers gunna nig

  • Many so-called progressive will grasp at any straw rather than admit that Obama is a fraud, that they voted--once again--for a fraud, that he is not a friend of the poor in this country or the in the rest of the world.

  • @wistoncap

    thankfully I look at things objectively, and know his current situation isn't of his own creation, and to top it off I realize how short-sighted people truly are. Their reaction to him now is evidence enough, but people are short-sighted, but still fail to see what is in front of them. You're one of them painfully true as it is.

  • @lordblazer Good luck with that.

  • And he checks himself off as only Black on the US Census. hahahahaha!!!

  • @jjamerican93

    most black americans do. ironically most black americans are multi-racial. The only ones that aren't are the african immigrants of recent times. But for those who descend from slaves we're pretty much all mixed despite what our skin tone tells you. Kind of puts the whole thing of race on its head. Americans need to stop fixating n it, but Americans gotta stop giving black people bullshit anytime they make aware of an issue that affects them.

  • god i hate whoever this guy taking over for cenk is. he's such a fucken pretentious lil pussy prick. he fucken sucks and has stupid ass ideas.

  • These racists at TYT are trying to drive as hedge between the President and African Americans. Unemployment will always be high in the communicate because the slave masters aren't going to let their slaves off the plantation to become fully functioning citizens.

  • @collinsdc How do you know tyt are all racists??? Newbie here or are you just making another stupid assumption off of one reporter?

  • @collinsdc I believe slavery has ended...at least last time I checked it has...

    Stop blaming slavery (which hasn't been around for over 100 years on the troubles of the African American community)

  • ""Ladders of opportunity," whatever that means..." Is it really that tough to understand? Seems pretty straight forward to me.

  • Comment removed

  • I doubt Obama cares too much about African American unemployment. It may be the case that in his personal life he does care about African American unemployment; but in his political life he has made quite clear he takes the African American vote for granted. He knows if he has a good PR campaign and tells them to put their marching boots on that he will probably get most of them back on board for his re-election. Using political capital to address black issues is just unthinkable for him.

  • @armandogro91 And I think most Americans wouldn't like it if he did so anyway. Maybe this is change we can't believe in :/

  • @camilletheraven  Probably stopped drinking decaf.

  • I think that no one should push a lie. Or good words to make any group of people feel better. I believe if given a chance the economy would be better. But, when you have the Congress against you. You have to fight even harder. Which means the middle and lower class and the very poor will suffer more. Why, because he is not being the puppet they thought he would be.

  • That's tight

  • Are we really still looking at this as helping this race or that race? Why are we not saying let's help this class or that class?

  • @NCSportsMan70 yes. because in good times black unemployment is 9%; its close to 30% right now. its obviously disporportionately affecting black people... i guess we should ignoring like a toothache?

  • @NCSportsMan70 I agree! Not that it matters, I am Black. For far too long we have focused on 'race'. There is no race but the human one.

  • @DarkGlitchX Yeah, I just think times have changed and it is more about classes now than race. I'm a white 15 year old in NC not that it matters haha

  • @NCSportsMan70 Race, class, and gender ALL work together to perpuate inequalities. Plus, this channel ALWAYS addresses these issues anyway.

  • @NCSportsMan70 AMEN. Although certain groups are more likely to be in a certain class, and these groups tend to remain in the same class, I agree 100% that it isn't about helping any particular "race." If you stereotype an entire "race" and give them certain benefits, the people who receive the benefits are often ones that they weren't intended to reach (ex. college diversity). Similarly, other "racial" groups who are in these classes are totally left behind.

  • @NCSportsMan70 yeah man seriously lets get over this race thing

  • @NCSportsMan70 certain races dominate certain classes.

  • @NCSportsMan70 Because he's specifically gone out of his way not to help African-Americans, because he cares so much what Republicans think of him that he doesn't want to seem like he's helping out "his people."

  • @rvggarcon Not really, he just knows that they will be the last to leave him, so he puts them last on the to do list.

  • @NCSportsMan70 They aren't even on the to-do list. He doesn't even have one. He hasn't done a damn thing! It's exactly four more years of Bush.

  • @NCSportsMan70 I'm sorry but in a society where racial discrimination plays a huge role on who these employers higher and don't higher, with blacks having degree's such as their masters and PhD's and still being told they are over qualified or under qualified but yet other racial groups like Whites and Asians get the same exact job with only their Bachlor's degree. um YEAH Barack does need to address that racial group of people.You most likely don't live in these envirnment

  • @NCSportsMan70 ugh because as a whole the black class in America is a whole class Lower than others. right off the bat. so separating things by class is just as ignorant, but less usefull.

  • Michael is awesome. Ben sucks.

  • It's funny to watch liberals sit around scratching their heads trying to figure out why their policies are putting everybody out of work. It must've been exactly the same when religious hunter-gatherers thousands of years ago did a rain dance and sat around wondering why it didn't make water fall from the sky.

  • @EGarrett01 ...What liberal policies? >_>

  • @ButtKnockerable What you've just typed is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever read. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone on Youtube is now dumber for having taken time to read it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

  • It is to late for him AA like myself have heard it all before from all the whites that came before him and to be honest the Bloom has come off that Rose . He dosnt get it because he hasnt lived the life most of the minorites in this nation has and thats ok I dont hate him for it but...I can use less Black jokes in my life and really could use less war by way of a black man.I dont want to rest of the World to think all blacks are like him or even HEAR one more verse of the majic negro.

  • Wow

  • Obama should not help black neighborhoods. He should help poor neighborhoods. That example don't hold up, he singled out different professions, not different races.

  • not of this is appearing in my sub book

  • why do grown men sit with their legs crossed? off topic, but still. it looks effeminate.

  • @MrShiningTime Lol I was sitting with my legs crossed when I read this comment.

  • @RosechusPickle lol!

  • President Obama does not give a damn about Black people, except for our votres, which he thinks he is entitles to--he is wrong.

    He has been give full support by the largest, most loyal group in the Dem party and he is condescending and refuses to address our needs.

    His legacy will be the staggering unemployment, foreclosures, and disenfranchisement of Black people and his failure to help.

    Lets see how many Black people vote for 4 more years of unemployment

  • @grossda410 won't voting republican be voting for unemployment as well?

  • When I voted for Barry I thought I'm voting for my generation's FDR... :-\ I'm so fuckin' disappointed... :(

  • @TheEsotericDesi Learn your history! FDR didnt do shit until his third term!

  • Weez like Obama cuz he our man. He say he pay my car and buy da 8 kidz food. He say I can kwit my job to and he pay me, he good bro. I happee we gut black prezedent Obama. Volt Obama 2000 an 12

  • @mikestheman3 this is the best post on here but for exactly the opposite reason you think.

  • Every time I hear Obama talk now, I become Stan Marsh in the latest South Park episode and only see shit spewing out of his mouth.

  • one of the best video of tyt in a long time

  • People who are in poverty just don't know how to make money.

    Bank Teller Job, very basic and easy. $15h

    2 people at $15 = $30 an hour.

    45h weeks. 45*30*48(weeks)

    OMG LOOK AT THAT... About $65,000 before taxes. After taxes, still more than $50,000.... Almost everywhere there are jobs that pay $10-20 an hour.

  • @Austin101123

    Wow, what an asshole.

  • @sheepthing How exactly?

  • @Austin101123 and I guess you're just going to ignore the fact that the rate of unemployment has spiked the most among blacks since the economic crash?

  • @veksink That has nothing to do with my post at all. 

  • @veksink Ummm... How exactly would that make a difference to my post?

  • I kind of disagree with Micheal a bit here. Yes the president should stop being afraid.

    However the reality is if a black president pandars too much to black voters it will simply be used against him by Fox, etc in the run up to the presidential campaign.

  • Create a strong country.

    Support the public sector.

  • Obama has to stop worrying about what people think? Dunbest statement EVER !!!!

  • obama has lost all support except for the useful idiots!

  • obama has lost all support except for the useful idiots!

  • obama has lost all support except for the useful idiots!

  • obama has lost all support except for the useful idiots!

  • Wow! Judging from all of the comments I can pretty much tell that a lot of people have had the Racist Vitamins and Minerals this morning.

  • He is the president of the United States not the president of the blacks, he cannot target just black poverty and black unemployement, he has to target all poverty and all unemployement. Blacks can help themselfs by asking themselves y they r being discriminated the most, and don't just say whites just don't like blacks, there is a reason y they don't like blacks. Solve that question and u will solve the black problem

  • @merccc1

    What are you trying to say? I didn't understand anything you posted.

  • I do know WHITE PRIVILEGE is alive and well in the United States of America, and for white people to say that they have not benefited or have received some advantages because of it either are to stupid to recognize it or are a racist and going to deny it exists. Black people are the last to get hired and the first to get fired. Having said that, FUCK Obama! Me and my family will not be voting for his sorry ass again.

  • @tonkaaaaa they don't realize it because they don't have to struggle and/or are discriminated against because of their skin color. i won't say that they're all racist, but it's a lack of understanding what's going on outside of their bubble.

  • Bill Clinton did what Michael suggests. He imposed CRA, mandated Fannie mae with CEO Franklin Raines to froce bankers to stop redlining poor communities, provide people who couldn't service motgages nice homes through subprimes,.created the housing bubble which burst in Bush's face!

    I would think we would need 30-50 trillion dollars as a start to do what Michael suggests. we might reduce the poverty rate by 1%. I say let's go for it. Tea Party go to hell, GOP go to hell, American people STFU

  • Do you read your OWN writing? you said, "IF YOU THINK I'M A RACIST, THAN YOU MUST BE A BLACK SUPREMACIST." Everyone can look through the comments and see that you did.

  • Presiden ts just dont know what the fk to do. Is it me or does anyone notice how blacks dont want to be treated diffrent or in any racist way but they continue to try and seperate themselfs from the rest (for example the name of video) I am fine with the skin colors dont really care but truthfully the constant try at stuff such as that just keeps putting the diffrent skin color and racism in my head. idk if i explained that right but i dont really care.

  • I'm so sick of watching reporters ask Obama about black people! he is the President of the U.S.A not just president of black people! seriously that annoys the hell outta me!

  • @manhunt48

    Black supremacist,....? (REALLY) are you for real?

  • @tonkaaaaa excuse me?

  • @manhunt48 The point I'm trying to make to this guy is that his idea that everyone is trying to "blame whitey" is not a fair assessment. President Obama is in an unprecedented position because of his race, and that's just a fact. He's being "race-baited" by people on the right and he's trying everything in his power not to be painted as favoring blacks even if he has to turn his back on them; for example, Chris Christie is an angry bully but if Barack Obama could never pull it off as a black man

  • @nutblast23 " his idea that everyone is trying to "blame whitey" is not a fair assessment. " ONCE AGAIN when did I say that?. . . I said a few people in this comment section, If you could even bothered to go and read my original post you will I was responding to someone who was doing EXACTLY that.

    please, i fucking beg you. . . respond to something i've actually fucking said. You cannot seriously be this dishonest/stupid/insane.

  • Can you do me two favours TYT? Get Cenk back in front of the camera and murder Michael Shure?

  • @TYT Thanks so much for what you've said today. President Obama is too fearful of looking like an African American president who is concerned about African American unemployment. That's why he is losing approval ratings where Black people are concerned. Giving the finger to Blacks who overwhelmingly supported him could hurt him in 2012, if Blacks don't turn out in the numbers they did in 2008. President Obama will have only himself to blame.

  • @Elaiyel This is so true; When Barack Obama said that the police acted "stupidly" for arresting Henry Louis Gates, many people automatically assumed he did because he was black. When ACORN was defunded because of an edited videotape and was given a unconstitutional "bill of attainer" in the process, no one came to their aid; The military industrial complex and the oil companies have done far worse than ACORN ever did. As a matter of fact, Obama signed off on the bill to defund them. (cont.)

  • @Elaiyel When Shirley Sherrod was a victim of an edited videotape by Breitbart, the White House instantly ran for the hills and had her fired. When Glenn Beck attacked Van Jones and said he was a communist because of some organization he was in when he was in college, Obama didn't come to his defense and didn't stop him from resigning. Does President Obama favor black people? Hmmmm. I'm not sure. I'm going to need more information, I think....

  • @Elaiyel If anything, Obama stuck up for Gates because he's a Harvard professor as he is so it was definitely a fraternal relationship but no proof that it was racially motivated. Also, he thought Gates was credible since he knew him personally so if the President was guilty of anything, it was not having enough information before he spoke.

  • LET'S GET REAL PEOPLE; IT'S OBVIOUS THAT WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO TAKE AN EGALITARIAN APPROACH TO SOLVING PROBLEMS IN THIS COUNTRY, BUT ON A SOCIAL LEVEL, WE HAVE INEQUALITIES THAT STEM FROM THE HISTORY OF THIS COUNTY AND THE CULTURE ITSELF. WE CAN'T PRETEND THAT THE PRESIDENT HAS AVOIDED OBVIOUS "RACE-BAITING" BY PEOPLE LIKE JOE WALSH WHO CLAIMS THE PRESIDENT ONLY GOT ELECTED BECAUSE HE'S BLACK. THAT'S FUNNY SENSE THE OTHER 43 PRESIDENTS HAVE BEEN CHRISTIAN, WHITE MALES

  • I don't think there's much more Obama can do. If he does anything, he's going to get shit for it from either side. When it comes to election time, voters will rely on the results, presented to them by their selected media outlet.

  • @stefers08 You're right. It's just like the Troy Davis execution; Even if Davis was wrongly executed, people would say that Obama helped him because he was black. The right would surely jam the race baiting up his ass.

  • What really kills me is how all these conservatives and TEA partiers think that shrinking government is going to solve everyone's problems. Here's a hint:

    If a person has cancer, making the cancer cell smaller doesn't get rid of the cancer; we have to get the money out of politics in order for government to work no matter what size it is.

  • The United States Government needs to start releasing some of that Area 51 technology so American industry's can build things again.

  • He should just start another Public Works administration like FDR did. That would crater the unemployment rate AND rebuild the crumbling infrastructure around the country.

  • @inademv We can't we need those funds to bomb brown people... especially brown people w/ nationalized resources, fiat-free currency and no private central bank.

  • @Spunkalunk Then we'll need more funds to pay private contractors to rebuild said bombed infrastructures.

  • i like michael, he explains himself very well.

    Ana would be like " i think ...like.. that's racist!"

  • The problem with Obama is that he is trying to pander to a segment of the population that he will never win at the expense of losing a segment of the population who has supported him. That would be like me quiting my job, in the hopes of winning the lottery. Its just stupid.

  • Jobs, jobs, jobs, it's always about jobs. Yet no president acts upon the fact that with the current global model, the US will get no new industry, and will eventually crumble again, like all service based economies.

  • Obama was speaking wise words. Fuck you racialists in Young turks. Get out of air if you dont anything better to say.

  • @poraltierno and im being generous saying that discrimination ended because there are several statistics that say institutional racism is even worse today than its ever been

  • Smiley and West are just just pissed off because they haven't been invited to the WH for an interview, or got an invitation to his inaugural.

    The Black, (err...."African-American"), is a given, so Obama doesn't really have to do squat for them.

  • @poralentierno blacks 3x as likely to be pulled over and searched. Whites 4x as likely to actually have those drugs. Whites benefit from the success of their ancestors and the discrimination that ended only 40 yrs ago. Only 3 generations removed from slavery, you expect us to have caught up already

  • @poralentierno that is the dumbest logic ever. Genetically there is virtually no difference between the races. If you held up 10 strands of human DNA and told the most brilliant geneticists to seperate the races, they couldn't do it.

  • @severe8403 Then of course,men and women are, genetically speaking, 99% similar as well,,yet noone is foolish enough to argue that men and women are the same nor is anyone dumb enough to blame societal influences on our biological differences.

    i'm just sayin'
