South Africans Celebrate Inauguration

[OBAMAisHalfCaste]

Obama the first half-caste biracial mixed-race president not black

[WickedStick39]

has anything changed for them since then? I hope obama ends apartheid

[sinbin365]

I hate happy niggers

[vamemfis]

@sinbin365 ROFL

[MichaelMyers87]

Btw South Africa is a nice place iv been there.

[MrPissonyourgrave]

@MichaelMyers87 No it isnt dumbass and Ive been there too.

[bestSVMS]

Most of them have no idea on what obama is about. Most of them voted for him because hes black. Tell them a reason they voted for him, most wont know. I belive i heard somewhere 80 of black people voted for obama because hes black

hes going to take from the rich and successful and give to those who are lazy, ditched school all the time, dont want to work, and go do crimes

[DzekoVelez]

True. But he's way bettter than what mccain would have done and his "vp" palin. Dont even try to argue with that.

[andrew49247]

you say "because he's black" as if that fact doesn't mean anything...

[MichaelMyers87]

"bestSVMS"

Yes most black people in the states voted for Obama because hes half black, but there had never been a black or half black prez before so people wanted to see if they could get someone "like him" as president.

Also George Bush was a Republican and gave Republicans a bad rep during his presidency so most people wanted a Democratic prez for a change.

[mikejpa78]

i hate obama i want him to go back to africa

[ACER200638]

I wish that i could in a sense, but I was born and raised here in the USA. As a result, I would not have to put up with stupid comments made by ignorant people as yourself sir!

[BEEFJERKYMAN08]

LOL at all of the hater's comments on this page. Go ahead and keep saying things behind your computer's everyone, like anybody really gives a shit about your racist opinions over the internet.

[mikejpa78]

shut your mouth you  beef jerky eating fat ass

[Snuggleumpakis]

OH MY GOD!! Look all these fucking monkeys on the street! It's like a god damn zoo.

[lloydhester462]

nice...

[LGDE569]

Damn Niggers are all out there cause they dont have a job. haha

[archeeizm]

Dumbasses must not have a life if that monkey excites them.

[SirBoxer03]

Wtf!? These assholes aint even from our country, they dnt even know why they're celebrating for Obama other than he is part black.

Dumb assholes like these make blacks look bad.

[Jiggacake]

stomp them roaches on the street

[Antonesia1990]

Hey Skyyd and Scarface982 fuck both of you racist jealous Motherfuckers..if you aint got nuthin nice to say dont say shit

[Killer0fTheSun]

If any one thinks Barak Obama is going to bring change to an already economically damaged country,by reasons of warfare,i have a nice old bridge in Brooklyn to sell you.If you think Obama is going to do what no other president has done in 100 years and actually HELP the people..please contact me for that bridge thank you.

[erie1555]

yah me too

[Misecizvizda]

cool dance

[metalica547]

has anyone ever heard the howard stern interviewer who goes into a ghetto,and is asking people who they are going to vote for?they all say obama,but when the guy asks them why,he lists all of the things mccain stands for,and says that obama stands for them,and not a single one notices.example:interviewer asks if they like obama beucase he wants to stay in iraq,black guy says "yeah,the iraq thing"its sad to see someone become the president just because hes half black,and might i say racist?

[BarfObama]

I wonder if they let white South Africans in their dance troupe?

[thegreenslimeypond]

look extra welfare for us black people, and look at thier own countries, not succesful at shit lol

[Dall5000]

I really try to defend Black people, but they just keep doing dump shit like this.

Obama is the face of America; our problems won't get better in a months time. Once we understand this, we will progress.

[techbbq]

Black or white, obama is still a politician. Remember that.

[gomo213]

y are they celebrating so much?

its not like it affects there lives THAT much and idk...its not like obamas gonna go save the world

[AncientLand]

lol porr america

[cyanide585]

People need to realize Obama is a politician; he's no different than the other politicians before him. I hope he truly does improve my country but I'm not blindly jumping for joy. The reality is he's just another in a long line of leaders that have made promises to get elected but the gap between what's said and done is always wide. People need to see things through the lenses of realism and not blind devotion.

[BillyCronin822]

What's wrong with watching these beautiful young people celebrate? They are beautiful, happy and sweet. Go Barack! See my video, ' America and Me' in hd. and let's all pull together.

[ACER200638]

Thank you! Why are we being this way? Whether you like it or not, he is our President. We should stick by him and fulfill our obligation not to him as president but to the USA.

[LuckyGirl931]

im african *AMERICAN* i really didnt care who became president and i really dont care about the word nigga either its just a

word besides in not dark at all im just brown and i have alot of white friends its just me who i am i cant and i wont change myself

[onetrackmd]

What you wrote was about as stupid as pissing in the wind. I'm African-American and think comments like yours help those who think bad about Blakcs prove their point that we are ignorant. Next time, keep you mouth closed and don't embarrass yourself or the African-American community any further.

[dengo8712]

People are able to feel anyway they want about Barack, and let them. If he chooses to not care either way then he must be happy with the way things are for him. Hopefully things are good, and heisn't being a leech, but there is no reason to bash someone based on how they feel.

[NoGuff]

So now Islam will sweep across South Africa because it's the new chic.

[Lhn7]

WE just need some jungle music some one beating on some drums and it would be a perfect African music video...........

[LwaziOfItaly]

What makes people hate Blacks so much when they get happy over some kind of accomplishment. I cannot believe this Vietnamese person is calling them niggers. It is obvious that Whites taught him to hate Blacks. I still wonder how the Europeans taught other nationalities to hate us. I guess a good ass kicking by the Whites whipped them into shape to obey them.

[sinbin365]

LIFE experience has taught me to hate niggers, not the Europeans

[dumbgook]

FUCK THESE NIGGERS

where is my shot gun when I need it

[onetrackmd]

I see you are using your 5th grade education. "shaking my head in amazement"

[RompePopola809]

nigga shut yo fagget ass up motha fuka just the same way ya milky white looking like cum crackers hate us sexy choclaty brown people NOT BLACK BROWN the same way we can hate ya stupid asses sorry ass suckas like u is what make this world a shit hole

[DocDemonik]

I didn't celebrate until i found out that obama was only 25% black, another quarter asian, and can you say it with me loudly FIFTY PERCENT WHITE. sorta like tyga tyga woods yall. Im not racist either. I voted for Obama. but unfortunately he only got half a vote from me, and that half vote was for the good half of him, you know the part thatz educated, smart, and doesn't talk in ebonics, and doesn't have twenty kids gettin supported by welfare. I hope that he sets a good example for you guyz

[rocketscience21]

dude, that was hilarious. post of the year nomination

[DocDemonik]

thanks bro

[watisituya]

Probably the most intelligent individual on you tube!

[dh88274]

Why are they excited? Obama isn't going to do anything for them. The only reason they care is because he's black. This is dumb

[DiversityRecession1]

Is this Nat Geo?

[alberttheIV]

... be treated equally, and not specially.

and if these people are different and do know about obamas policies, i admire that. but i still feel that they wouldnt have researched his policies had he been a white man

[alberttheIV]

well, being racist is actually "Discrimination or prejudice based on race" and although they arnet being negative towards him, they are still being prejudiced based on the color of his skin. the problem isnt that people are racist in a bad way, its that people are racist in general. if you favor someone becuase they are a certain color, that is being racist too, even its a black favoring a black. if a white favors a white it makes them racist? the problem is that everyone needs to actually

[alberttheIV]

so your saying that if there was a white man being inaugurated who shared the same policies as barack obama with the same "charisma" , that these people would still act this way, and that there would be as many people at the inauguration. stop denying the truth

[bjaco18]

For those who believe that these South Africans are fans of Barack Obama because he is black, you are wrong. Because the Bokomoso group works closely with my school, I have had the opportunity to specifically speak with them about the election. They have explained that they agree very much with his politics. Yes, they are black and so is Obama, but to them this election is about the change (and peace) they believe Obama will bring to the United States and the world.

[skyyd]

bullshit

[bigfry1234]

Would they do this for McCain? No.

Would they do this for McCain if he was born in, or had a father from, South Africa or Kenya, but white? No.

They're celebrating because Obama is black. It's the purist form of racism. It seems to be a worldwide pandemic. This racism makes up most of the racism in America today. The first, sometimes only, thing they see in someone is skin color.

[stupidvids0]

it is not racism pointing out this is racist

[bigfry1234]

Is that really a statement or is it supposed to be a question?

[stupidvids0]

The Japanese even have their own "Obama" fan club

[bigfry1234]

I wonder: what are they fans of? I bet very few in this fan club could state his policies. In fact, Obama is attempting to do now in America what Japan did that gave them the "lost decade." Same situation, circumstances and ideas. Are they fans of his skin color? Or are they just dronish cultists? A lot of people and groups have fan clubs. But you have to wonder what they are really fans of.

[Timothy2035]

Ah its nice to see other cultures celebrating Obama becoming President of the United States. The Japanese even have their own "Obama" fan club. Its really nice and humbling to see.

[SunTzuLao]

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Obama sucks!

That was a lovely site.

( You racist idiots who made comments can go jump of a high bridge.)

[baberuthistheman]

Fucking MONKEYS !!

NIGGERS !

[amadeusyaoi]

Where's P.W. when you need him?

[natedeezy]

When was the last time a group of americans danced around the streets cos some OTHER country voted for a new president? This is kinda creepy to me...Why do they worship this guy? no one I know does but yet all of south Afirca does??

[quillian91]

Because it gives them hope that African-Americans and Black people in general can become one of the most powerful people in the world. It is really inspiring that one generation from pure African can become such a leader.

[natedeezy]

HE'S HALF WHITE !!!!!!! in case you havent heard, LOL

[quillian91]

I know that, but when I mean one generation from pure African, I mean that his father was from Kenya. You want to know why Africans are celebrating? That's why.

[jambapunks]

I don't understand, if black people brag about themselves and bag on white people, aren't they rascist? For example, the black panthers, a bunch of blacks hating White Americans, and America, if you hate it so much get out we're all equal

[russmdva]

?? i dont understand where your black panther coamment comes from. THey have not been prominant since the 70's and u know that.. come on. those south africans that are celibrating are just happy students. Where is the reverse racism?

[jambapunks]

Nah they're still around, just not as big as they were 30 years ago, check out the History Channel

[chubby4]

COME ON JEROME ITS BARRACK OBAMA! YO YO YO. jk that was very ignorant im only 14 i shouldnt say anything

[ghost2694]

its sad really

they dont even know what theyre celebrating

all they do know is that a semi-black man became the president and that somehow is going to change something

i feel sorry for them

[adihsar]

That already has changed something. Did you not see the way the country came together? How people were forced to deal with this big elephant that has been in the great big North American room for years? Bunk the political part- politics is never the solution. However, the social wealth we just earned is priceless.

[lakeviewviking]

"Did you not see the way the country came together? "

Is your "we can kill white people" rhetoric part of said coming together?

[adihsar]

You're funny.

[adihsar]

P.s. You should do a little research on the term racist/racism. I'll give you that a lot of Black people/people are prejudice. Shoot all of us are. However, racism is a whole different monster.

[lakeviewviking]

...and your hair-splitting about the definition of racism won''t change the fact that you're a racist cunt.

[adihsar]

LoL thanx for my morning laugh!

[lakeviewviking]

anything i can do for "We one facet".

[SwornReaper]

BLACKS bunch of racist, they call other racists but apparently they're all racist fuck. Why would they celebrate if the president weren't BLACK( fuck it)!!!Will they give a shit if the president is white!!!Negroes are always Negroes, just never change

[adihsar]

Black PEOPLE (not just BLACKS sweetie) celebrated immensely when Bill Clinton won. We celebrate anytime we think someone is in a leadership position who will improve the country for EVERYONE and not just the wealthy (which usually happens to be white males) And more importantly, even if every Black person in this country voted for him he still wouldn't have won without the large amount of White people who also voted.

[newjersey02]

lol, its funny.

[SwornReaper]

BAH! But thanks for replying to me with kind words, even though i know it's shame on me but it's the fact and i say the fact. Don't you dare to deny that "every Black person" you said in this country, has one of reasons(or just single), that is: BECAUSE OBAMA IS BLACK SO WE GOTTA VOTE FOR HIM; and IT IS WRONG TO THINK THAT. so who are the racists!!!! Doesn't matter the population, the percents of race is that all matter.

[lakeviewviking]

"improve the country for EVERYONE and not just the wealthy (which usually happens to be white males)"

Yes, because all white males are rich....stop getting your info about whites from reruns of GOOD TIMES.

I never heard a black say anything about wanting to improve things for EVERYONE; it's always about helping a brotha/sista....funny, because blacks also kill each other by the score.

I'm glad Obama's president, though...because the days of blacks' whining and self-pity are officially over.

[adihsar]

1) Quick logic lesson-

All apples are fruit so all fruit is apples- FALSE. Don't try to use your faulty logic to flip my words. I did not say, nor do I hardly believe that all White males/people are rich just as not all Black people are poor.

2) When a law is passed to improve the status of a population in need (regardless of the population) everyone benefits. Civil rights did not only help Black people. Gender equity laws did not only help woman. We one facet improves we improve as a whole

[lakeviewviking]

"We one facet improves we improve as a whole"

"We one facet"? you're one wascawy wabbit!

[adihsar]

Ahhhhh the typo....

[swan467]

Amen, I'm black and I have to agree with that. No more It's hard for a black man out here crap.

[moondogs61]

THANK GOD THEIR OVER THERE, got enough "obama idiots" over here!!!!

[adihsar]

uh it's "they're." If you're going to insult someone's intelligence please check your own first.

[lakeviewviking]

"uh it's "they're." If you're going to insult someone's intelligence please check your own first."

Then you go on to write this:

"I'll give you that a lot of Black people/people are prejudice"

That's "prejudiced", not "prejudice".

You're right, though: Blacks are "prejudice", as you like to call it. And racist...and they get to rob/kill non-blacks without worrying about it getting prosecuted as a "hate-crime".

[adihsar]

They key is 1) I wasn't trying to insult the intelligence of a group of people while showing my own lack thereof and 2) it was a typo not a lack of grammatical know-how

You're right. We can kill white people without it being a hate crime. Let's not think about how much stricter the sentencing is when a Black person does something to a White person. How much more invested the law is in tracking us down and solving that case. How society cares more about White death than Black...

[lakeviewviking]

"You're right. We can kill white people without it being a hate crime. "

Sounds like you're gloating.

While I hear your "oppression" song-and-dance for the millionth time, Have you ever noticed that the Jews, who were enslaved and mass-murdered only 60+ years ago, don't have alot of drive-bys in their hoods? Their illegitimacy rate isn't 80%? And they somehow live without affirmative-action kickbacks?I'm sure you have some FINAL CALL anti-semitism to explain that.

[adihsar]

First off, tone is lost in type. It was actually intended to be sarcastic. Second, the issues in the Black community are a direct result of our treatment in this country. However, that is NOT an excuse because we can and should be overcoming that stuff and holding ourselves to a higher standard. Third, I don't even engage that "Jews v. Blacks" debate. It's not even comparable. Finally, commenting is annoying. I'd love to continue this intellectual debate via messages or AIM (adihsar83)

[newjersey02]

moondog, very true. We have enough idiots.

[samking12]

this is sad cuz folks just voted for obama just cuz hes black and not even really knowing what he stands for Africans are good ppl just too trusting in the wrong ppl and thats y there country's is like it is now, letting red cross inject then with aids is just one reason and and blindly following bad leaders religious and political

[newjersey02]

Yes samking, I'ts screwed up that blacks supposedly had aids, but little does people know, our leaders are corrupted.

[DrakenX9989]

Pull your hands away, I'm gone.. Goodbye.. It's so depressing.. Withering away.. Take a look inside, my soul is missing.. Come a little closer and I'll show you why.. Look in my eyes for the answers.. Typical, Once again, it's me and no one else.. I can't remember if there was a someone else.. It's not mine, it's not fair, it's outta my hands.. And it's shaking, you'll never take me.. Somewhere between screaming and crying..

[yourvideosuxx]

OBAMA 09 FAGGOTS!!! HAAAAAAHOOOOOOO

[Sreggaematic09]

That first girl has a real cute accent :)

[darthnoll]

i personally think ppl should get off there lazy asses and stop trying to find som1 to help us and help our fuckin selves, i hav no issue on color or any form of racism, but alltogether, it is ridiculous that ppl just hope that things will get better, then do nothing about it and expect it to get better, stop using ur hopes in ur gods and other people, AND DO IT YOURSELF! cant do it urself, well then it luks lik ur fucked, deal with it and yes, im a cold hearted ass, so calling me one wont help.

[NWKtown]

That's the truest statement I've ever seen on youtube video. that might not say much but still, right on dude. right on.

[darthnoll]

lol, thanks, i do my best.

[asteinbaum1]

thats a lame and meaningless comment

[adihsar]

I agree that personal and collective responsibility and work is much more effective. I really don't give a darn about politics, believe it to be the avenue to change or think Obama is so much different than any other politician. Politics is politics and it's all BS. However, the social ramifications and personal meaning of his victory will far outweigh anything he does while in office. I have little kids in my neighborhood now saying they can do anything. That's priceless.

[danielsp9]

lol I wonder why they are so happy, I mean Obama is not African American. I'm not a racist, but I'm not stupid either.

Politicians are all liars and want more power, I don't care what beliefs they have. Now we are entrusting this man entirely based on what??? Just his pretty face? GTFO, I say we cut the govt. in half and let business run it's course without interruption by welfare junkies.

[smukles]

Cause that works.

Yeah.

[Isaiasm2006]

lol he is not african american hahahaaha

[adihsar]

Actually he is quite literally African-American.

[Isaiasm2006]

i know he is. i meant to quote that from the person i replied to. he said obama was not black

[adihsar]

I know@Isaiasm- I was replying to him too. YT puts comments out of order unless you click the }see all comments" at the bottom. When looking at the page with the video on it they just post the most recent.

[LongLashes1984]

um lol

[tfmonzo]

ur a dumbass. Bombing is what saved all the jews today from the nazis and all the rest of asia from the japs. honestly it is sad but war and viloence is the most effiecient way to change the world

[219790]

B.I.G 4 president

[RWayne72160]

That was filmed at the monkey cage at Hermann Park Zoo in Houston.

[adihsar]

and comments like this...hahah and people really try to say racism is over get over it Black people. Really?

[dlix]

aww want your welfare check? get over it

[classic14rider]

America is at its best when its politics can inspire the rest of the world. This video clip is an excellent example of that

(racist comments from some viewers not withstanding).

We cannot change the world with bombs and coercion (we tried that under Bush-Cheney). We need to be able to inspire and persuade.

The Obama Administration ushers in a new era around the world.

Thank God for that.

[adihsar]

And a poster a few comments above wonders why so many Black people just want to keep to themselves and not be bothered. This ignorant YTer is a representative of a good portion of the USofA right now. Racism, hatred, abuse, exploitation, rape...all against Africans in America (by force) is woven into the fabric of this country. Yes, it is time for everyone to make ammends, but don't be so dismissive about a VERY real history and it's very real lasting effects.

[dezzy0]

these people are gathering to celebrate the election of a president in a completely different country.. like some change is coming their way... I WONDER WHY THAT IS.

[BinkieMcFartnuggets]

Imagine how fun it would be if people in America celebrated when other countries elected presidents and prime ministers. Imagine what it'd be like if Americans were ever alerted of these elections.

[silenTNoise17]

The US blew it when they didn't give Ron Paul a chance.

[dlix]

I'm watching a bunch of racists celebrating their own racist victory.

[hcjfsfwir]

Respect must be shown by both races and it is not. Blacks have a real hatred and disrespect for whites a lot of the time and do not want to befriend them. They want to be segregated and do their own thing it seems like. People will only start to respect the other race if the other race shows respect as well. God Speed to Obama! May change really come. Great dance and really cool South Africans in this clip, Peace!

[yalbuena]

Tupac should have been president

[ambigera]

That's actually fairly impressive how they do that in unison. lol

[RWayne72160]

This country is on its last legs and if they think a communist negroid is going to help, they're in trouble. The only thing that may help the U.S. would be a full scale revolt against the Obama communists, but Americans nowadays have been so brainwashed that I see no hope whatsoever for the U.S.

[hoodwax798]

try and get some sleep...

[OceanLover1114]

Americans are Brainwashed for wanting things to be better!!!!! Wow......just Wow.

[darthnoll]

yea, its sad becuz its true....

[mknuwet]

Well, I am african, and I see no reason to celebrate. the hipocracy. lies, robbery, murder, that has come from America will continue. The only thing that has changed is the face that the world will blame it all on.

[shinigamigod400]

this isn't historical at all unless you want to consider it historical that this is the first step towards the downfall of our own country. not to be racist, but why is every black person celebrating?! do they think that they'll get some special treatment for being black?! (by that i mean get to be even more racist towards whites) yeah, people wonder why there is racism towards blacks and the answer to that is that blacks are the ones being racist. when they stop, we will too.

[frostwolf1]

To be fair, can you name any Western Democracy that's had a black leader? It's not something we think about much, but to Africans his election was proof that they've overcome the unfair treatment they used to receive.

I have doubts about Obama too, I think he's WAY over hyped. But to many he's a symbol of how anyone can succeed if they educate themselves and work hard. If he motivates people to aim a little higher and work hard, then he's done at least one good thing so far even if he fucks up.

[OceanLover1114]

As a NY Irish Catholic, I respectfully DISAGREE. There was  a time in this country when there existed racism toward the Irish. It took the election and acceptance of JFK to positively change the previous intolerance of Irish Americans.

[lakeviewviking]

"There was a time in this country when there existed racism toward the Irish." I can tell you that Irish Catholics are the biggest bigots around....New Orleans had a lot of irish catholics (read Confereracy of Dunces or Anne Rice's biography to learn about them) and they HATED the blacks, when they weren't fighting the italians. The worst mob-lynching in US history was against the italians because one of them killed a N.O. irish cop.

[CarlyUTube]

I would have loved to see them in the parade!

[couger666]

why would they be so happy?

[dingjosh]

think it this way. everyone(unless u don't support Obama), should celebrate this inauguration. because it is special, and historical.

[couger666]

why is it historical? is it because he is black? or is it because he promises the same things which clinton did? we had to do a compare and contrast between inauguration speeches, mine was his and president clinton first time he was elected. they both promised the same things except clinton mentioned communism and obama mentioned the the enviroment, besides him being black i cant see any reason for people to be soo damn excited , like he is a radicly better then all those who came before

[dingjosh]

well the reason why i said this is historical is because he is the first black president in US history. i am looking at this without and political view just so you know, i am not a big fan of politics but after hear his speech, i was very pleased the fact, that he is able to point out bush's fault RIGHT AT HIS FACE. and his speech gave me hope that US will raise and become a world leader ONCE AGAIN.

[dingjosh]

but again, people have different views about this. so i guess it doesn't really matter if people cares about this inauguration or not. just different views

[couger666]

im not reffering to the inaugeration but the unmatched optimisim that obama has recieved from not only us but other countries, it makes me think under what circumstances would i dance in the streets for the election of another country

[dingjosh]

sorry for my misunderstanding. but as i said, people can do w.e they want. some people might view this as important as one of their holiday, others doesn't give a rat ass about it.
