  • Mayor Nutter will you please respond to the questions i have posted on your youtube video cutting the ribbon on the expansion for the Pennsylvania convention center?

    There is real danger there and i will be posting more there.

    This company knowingly gambled with peoples lives Mr Nutter and my concrete evidence proves this.

    This company commited clear fraud Mr Nutter and this is tax payer dollars.

  • amen to what this respectful has said .. and im mexican. we mexicans have the same social ills as blacks and im also tired of this gangster culture especially in LA. it gives me a bad name as an hispanic. Nutter for President! and out with obama the puppet!

  • White people have been saying this forever!!!!!!! but you don't want to listen cause its raciest, yet when another black guy says it for some reason its not.

  • This is the truth. All of us could improve ourselves by adhering to his wisdom and plainness.

  • Amen!

  • i love what he says, but, unfortunately, he's preaching to the choir (no pun intended). he's preaching to the grandmothers (and great grandmothers) who are already raising their children's children. He's got to find a way to talk to the thugs out in the streets. Getting them to listen is another problem all together.

  • Nutter speaking the truth. Something most black democrats don't want to hear.

  • It is oh so refreshing to see an African American gentleman like Nutter speak to the reality of this issue being a real problem in the black community. Any "white" person who speaks candidly about such issues is pegged as a racist, not as someone who is concerned about it's effects on peoples future prospects.  It is sad that people accuse men like Nutter of being "uncle toms" for their principled stands.

  • Liberalism has now made it it's job to excuse growing "baby daddy" culture in all our communities these days and sadly especially so in minority communities. It is sad that many so called "Civil Rights" leaders excuse it there too. If Obama, Holder, and Civil Rights leaders were honest about minority empowerment, then our intercity failing Liberal public education system and growing national "baby daddy" culture would be the focus, instead of race based Liberal agenda politics.

  • I like this mayor, speeks the TRUTH...NUTTER for PRESIDENT!!!!!

  • kudos!!!

    fertile/stray pookies rule the world!!!

  • This is a great man.

  • I'm a forty four year old Black Republican man. And tears are running down my face because, this is what needs to be said! And not just by Bill Cosby, who is now called a sellout. If this Dem. Philly mayor runs for president and holds to this reality I'd vote for him. And the first bi-racial president; Has Obama said anything like this?

  • @westpac5 thank you, and NO, obama has never encouraged personal responsability, it is basically all the eveil rich persons fault.

  • @westpac5 I agree 100 percent, but lets be honest this is what the republican america wants to hear. For them its bad enough that Obama is half black. To hear him addressing the black community would be an outrage. Not trying to make this a racial thing either, just stating my opinion

  • "They don't hire you cause you look like you crazy!" Hahaha! Tru dat.

  • I wonder if Rev Sharpton or Jackson have heard this find speech??

  • I thought it was a nice speech, but unfortunately it should've been said decades ago. The truth is he's outnumbered and black communities across this country are now overcrowded with too many of us who are frankly the problem. we have to ask ourselves where are we going as a community if the prison, unemployment, Hiv/ Aids, and high school dropout rate all increase?.

  • Reelect Mayor Nutter!

  • Comment removed

  • All I can say is...Mayor Nutter....You need to run for President of the United States! I had tears in my eyes by the end of his speech...Tears of Joy!

  • Wednesday, 12/28/11. America needs Michael Nutter in the Oval!! Thank you, Michael Nutter, for your message. We need more messages like this in churches across America. In a time when it seems like the whole world has gone crazy - where everything seems inside out, upside down and backwards, I was encouraged and blessed by your common sense and level headed message! You're the kind of man America needs in the White House!

  • I agree wholeheartedly with Mayor Nutter, but he's mistaken about the Immaculate Conception. The Immaculate Conception was not about Jesus, but the Virgin Mary. It's the teaching that Mary was conceived without original sin. Other than that, he's to be congratulated for speaking plainly and directly about things that many people think, but don't say.

  • Europeans originated that type of religious skepticism. Check out Freud, Fichte and Marx. All of our great leaders fron Nat Turner Marcus Garvey, to King and X were very religious nad practiced Christianity as well as Islam.

    Not arguing, just stating the facts. Peace and Black power

  • Christianity was practiced by africans in the east a thousand years before Euopean dominance. Check out the coptic church in egypt and the orthodox church in Ethiopia, both existed when the europeans were barbarians. I know it is vogue to question God, religion and christianity now, but that is in and of itself very european. Europeans originated that type of religious skepticism. Check out Freud, Fichte and Marx. All of our great leaders fron Nat Turner Marcus Garvey, to King and X were very

  • "Serving the lord?" He's a mayor, not a preacher. As a government employee, he took an oath to uphold the U.S. Constitution, not to preach religion.

  • @YY4Me133 shut up ... im atheist but i see his message and his message is positive and clear. focus on his message not his religion bud

  • @RGOC2012 Shut up? Really? That's how you deal with people who disagree with you? You tell them to shut up? Are you sure you're not a theist? That's what they often do, try to silence dissenting points of view.

  • Mayor Nutter is lucky he is black. He would never be allowed to say this without being figuratively burned at the stake had he been white. Good on him. He is a million times braver than these race hustlers we see paraded into the mass media regularly.

  • When white politicians have babies out of wedlock. Arnold,John Edwards and have affairs newt Gingrich and babies with three different women Donald trump and steal take bribes and have endless wars and bankrupt the nation no one talks about personal responsibility..because white people are the biggest hypocrites

  • Young men are to blame, but so are young women. Can't have a baby without TWO people.

  • Comment removed

  • Sounds good. Results? None.

  • @MrJoeDrager Results come from bottom up, not top down. Leadership provides only the message, only the direction, the people have to do the walking and make it happen.

  • These people worship white jesus? What a bunch of morons. At least the wild teens on the streets are smart enough to not believe in religious bullshit!

  • @nkelly1432

    Jesus was not and is not white. They worship the Jesus who is. The Jesus who is Lord and our brother. The Jesus that enables us to say Black Power.

    Peace Brother.

  • @boomp No you are wrong. Christianity is a European religion. The only reason why blacks in America believe it is because the slave owners forced their ancestors to adopt it. Christianity is the a religion, just like Islam. Islam and Christianity have enslave millions of black africans.

  • @nkelly1432 i agree about the religious bs that is being PROGRAMMED TO THE BLACK COMMUNITY but there is a basic morale lesson to his msg as far as how to act civilized within a civilization...

  • @chocobro77 yeah i guess you're right, it is just annoying that the only place this civilized behavior is taught in black communities is the Church and not the Schools.

  • @chocobro77 im atheist and i agree with everything this man says. look behind his religiosity and his message is moral and clear. amen!

  • @nkelly1432 thanks for letting ur ignorance shine!

  • @RGOC2012 what the fuck?

  • This is a great man....he is just saying the truth....I pray for the Black Community in North America and the Black family to be restored....and with Dad's leading the home....their is no reason on earth that this cannot be fixed!

  • 6 people didn't buy a belt.

  • The best part of the video is at 28:16 - Awesome!

  • Amen mayor Nutter, That should be said to all children and parents in the U.S.

  • @GreetingsFrmDublin Don't characterize schoolchildren based on uncultured inner-city kids, it's quite insulting.

  • If he ran for president he'd get my vote

  • A "black" Democrat espousing some of the Conservative values that made America great. Only fhe type of "fools" he is talking about would consider him to be an "uncle tom" for speaking the "politically incorrect" truth about the harm caused by promotion of "ghetto culture" in the "black community."

  • This video should be played in every high school and middle school to our youths. Wow. He nailed it through and through

  • AMEN!!!

  • we need a president that can shout like this

  • lmfao he went off!

  • This is a man that truly cares about black america, he doesn't play the victim or pander to the irresponsibility of parents or blame a system, love this man!

  • nobody is perfect! !" kids have to go through things to learn and act on future things in life. especially wen parents are out to busy working all the time and not being in their life and bringing them in a spiritual life point. no one is perfect and everyone is gonna hit speed bumps but that's not an excuse on giving ur life away completely or not trying. but if a kid doesn't any thing to believe in or something or someone to follow is it their fault??? its 2011 the world is changing TRUST GOD

  • He's in Joe Clark mode. Thank you Sir for the truth you have bless us with.

  • Dear Mayor of Philly thats good and all but why dont you tell the people about the FEMA Camps. The Bankers bankrupting this country. The dangers of Flouride in the tap water and GMO foods. WHY DON'T U TELL THE PEOPLE WHATS REALLY GOING ON So that they can feel equal in the fight against tyranny.

  • @ikodru What planet are you visiting from? Mayor Nutter is addressing the of violence on the streets of Philadelphia and trying to get parents more involved in their kids lives. This is a very real problem and what he is saying should be said all over the country to people and their children. Then you come up and say he should start telling people about a bunch conspiracies and unfounded garbage you heard about at some seedy bar with your drinking buddies.

  • @ikodru Think about this, if our streets aren't safe to walk because of the risk of getting our heads caved in by violent youths then why would any of that other stuff matter? When your brain dead from a beating you took from a group of thugs fluoride in your water really isn't that important.

  • @bigdreamer66 2nd reply...if u know something as mayor and u dont tell the people. than ur distracting them really...20 years of trying to correct the same problem andd he's going to finally do it? #yeaok Russell Blaylock M.D. is a retired neurosurgeon. look at his video called Fluoride's Deadly Secret. Look at the obama deception and look at loose change ALL OF THESE BACKED UP WITH FACTS!

  • He dosen't sound like a Democrat at all...

  • Well said Mayor Nutter. Where are the Reverends Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton? MIA as usual. They call themselves reverends but who do they Pastor. These phonies will have their own judgement day. Reverse racism is racism and not tolerable. I am a Proud Christian Conservative, who is Black and I call it as I see it. xyx1412999 , Zephyesa, salleemadul, GreetingsFrmDublin, and the like the Mayor is talking about you and your parents, but it looks like you are too dumb to heed his good advice.

  • Mayor is an excellant leader..he's given voice to the 99% of the frustrated Black community ,especially the black men who are stigmatized by the actions of a small number young idiots who choose not to grow up. I am tired of people being afraid of me because of these fuck ups..If I see any of those act up,I will snitch and have them locked up

  • Uncle Tom.

  • lol Nutter?

  • Cain - Nutter 2012!! Yea Baby!

  • bull shit talk.

    

  • got to got to go

  • @GreetingsFrmDublin It wouldn't do shit.

  • I wish Chicago would have a decent BLACK Mayor like this dude. 

  • curfews are only an escape route to problems the state can't or doesn't know how to fix..so now the people have to suffer and not be able to go out because the state doesn't know how to control something

  • Mayor Nutter, you are my new hero.

  • Amen

  • Who are the three idiots who didn't like this?

  • @VALKYRIENordicSlayer Fuck you.

  • Michael nutter is a bit nuts, I like it! We need more people like this that have the guts to say the truth and who are not into PC/society is to blame stuff

  • We need him to make the same speech for us in Georgia

  • I love this guy I love people who talk straight can't political correct crap.

  • Mayor Nutter...one of my new heros.

  • Mayor Nutter: " BUY A BELT, BUY A BELT CUZ NO BODY WANTS TO SEE YOUR UNDERWEAR!!!"

    Al Sharpton: " WTF?!?! I want to keep seeing their underwear b/c it turns me on."

  • I am a card holding republican. I think that this man has a better grip on reality than the majority of America. This is the kind of President we as Americans deserve in the White House. Keep up the Good work Mr. Nutter! Strong Family's & Strong Values!

  • @camper8889 i agree with you Michael Nutter does have a better grip on reality and i think that he is one of the best Mayors Philadelphia has ever had

  • We need Mayor Nutter as President! What a great man! He has won my respect!

  • So, in other words, this is Bill Cosby's "Pound Cake Speech", part 2!

    :-)

  • Detroit needs to vote in men like this, who don't give up as soon as they get elected.

  • Philadelphia can be very proud of this man, he speaks for all of us trying to live a good life and respect others' personal dignity.

  • Outstanding speech. This would've been useful out on the campaign stump and action taken BEFORE this act. But, it's a step in the right direction.

  • Good man. Respect.

  • @GreetingsFrmDublin no the criminals and dealers just dont fake it they are what they are politicians lie hide behind microphones and write speeches to the appropriate audience.. not to mention steal, cheat, and turn the other check..all im say its to easy to pass the buck on just the parents alone! you have some good parents with troubled children that they send off into these PHILLY streets ran by this guy..

  • @GreetingsFrmDublin and politicians do huh???

  • for the youth is OTJT. ONE THE JOB TRAINING. GO out and ask a group of teens to prepare a dance of entertainment to a church audience. It takes thinking outside the box. God love everyone, especially the youth. Some of the youth on the streets are the most intelligent people in the world. It is not all the youths fault....no at all. Invite them. Buy them their robe...give them a part and quit being selfish with political and spiritual roles. Tell them you need their help.

  • sometimes it is beyond the minds of youth to be able to stand up there like you, to be in one of those robes on the platform. Teens/youth have to be invited-literally invited-going up to these youth and saying I need for you to come with me to church and put on a robe, or I need for you to come with me to give this part of my speech....see we have to get them involved. Youth are willing, they are willing. I have a insight....the youth have a future. Sometimes the way of a good life....con't

  • He cursed in the house of God. That's enough. That is not the example to set for the youth. He just blew his credibility right there. If he wants to crush crime, he could probably find a job with the police dept. Which would be great, because his speech at the "pulpit" is about fighting crime.

  • College is still unattainable for a lot of people, after they graduate high school.

    Quit having babies until both parties seeking to get married are 1st in church,

    2nd educated, 3rd working, 4th involved in part of the church. A lot of other things too.,

    I always thought it was the AA culture that in Africa men still believe in having more than 1 wife.....so how will it ever work in America for black men to have only 1 wife, instead of mating with many women?

  • What about some of the fellow politicians that order drugs to be brought into the city to sell, and to be users? I say to drug screen all the politicians...ALL

  • Church and State cannot be mixed. We are to pray for our leaders-God tell us to.

    But a politician can attend church. But, no one is to get up in a church and say anything political. He is using a church to run for politics....the pulpit is for preaching the Word of God.

  • His gotee (spelling?) is ugly. No man of God with this covering on his face is respected by any youth. This is an unholy look. This particular look on a man-a man that supposedly claims to be a Christian-does nothing but present to others (true) Christian men, that these men with facial covering have something to hide. It is clearly an unholy appearance. Looks unclean!!

  • @rolewi11 You're joking, right?

  • @rlace2003

    There is a such thing as a razor, he needs to shave it off. facial hair on men looks dirty. Men should shave. Ask him why he has it, see what he says. It is a form of uncleanliness and unholiness. He is trying to validate something in his life, not letting the Lord take care of some particular negative issue about himself. No, I am not joking. Too lazy to shave? who knows. Does his wife want it? That would be then, VAIN.

  • @rolewi11 Your a nut bar.

  • @azrial4421

    No, the nonsense is you not understanding.  You see Christian men who can witness to the fact that clean shaven says a lot about a Christian man. In the military they shave....now you tell me why is that...it is a standard of cleanliness.

  • @rolewi11 military, religion.. its all about control. I am free

  • @rolewi11 so is the hair on our heads dirty as well? ur like a baby ruth

  • @rolewi11 So, a goatee is vain if his wife wants it, but it's not vain to shave because facial hair on men looks dirty? A form of unholiness? I'll make sure to tell Jesus, so he can make sure to shave his beard before he returns.

  • @rlace2003

    That is mass brainwash to speak of Jesus like that.  There are NO pictures of Jesus on the face of this earth. Do you have one? I didn't think so.

    Your concept makes the Word false!

    READ!!!!!!!! 1Co 11:14 BUT we know that Scripture cannot be broken

    read Joh 10:35

    SO!!!! if Jesus had long hair that would have been a shameful thing to Him, and surely NO ONE is saying that there was anything shameful in Jesus, the Son of God , the perfect man.

    I have more scripture!!

  • @rolewi11 Those comments were implied to people who have crazy looking hair cuts. True look at history everybody had long hair but no body was doing dread locks or corn rows and or shaving letters into their hair.

  • Wow!

  • Absolutely inspirational. I hope the kids in London take this in as well.

    'Respect' from Europe.

  • I think this video should apply all rac es not just Black americans.

    I hope Mayor Nuttler decides to run for a Washington post we need people like franked and to the point. !

    I would vote for the Mayor Nutter.

  • Thank you Mr. Nutter.  You speak the truth, and I as a white American appreciate your efforts.

  • The only people I can imagine complaining about Nutter's speech are those guilty of what he brings to light. Admirable man!

  • Mayor Nutter, RESPECT!!!

  • What's the over / under on when the first citizen goes Bronson / Eastwood on a group of marauders? I place it at 45-60 days. If cops don't do anything I see a future in Security systems that contain and detain with a safe room.

    Sadly this type of behavior is going to be used by government types to further restrict everyones freedom - guaranteed - as that's the M.O.

  • he stated what was the truth..... as painful as it maybe

  • Fuck NUTTER goes into a black church and talks this dumb political ploy bullshit...how many of these niggaz in this church know where their kids are right now??? it not just the parents..some kids are just who they are going to be simple as that..products of the enviornment the government created in the first place! Nutter dont care shit about the black community.

  • @touggie2000 Sounds like he got you where you live.

  • Bravo!

  • Shhhhhhh. Mayor Nutter, don't be airing our problem out in front of white folk.

  • IT'S AMAZING HOW EVERYONE LOOKS TO BARACK HUSSAIN OBAMA AS A ROLE MODEL YET THE PEOPLE OF PHILLY AND THE PRESS ATTACK THIS "GOOD MAN" AS A "SUCK UP TO WHITE PEOPLE" WHY IS IT WHEN SOMEONE MAKES PERFECT SENSE ARE THEY CONSIDERED "BAD PEOPLE" HAVE WE COME TO THE POINT OF BEING A BACKWARDS SOCIETY? KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK MR. MAYOR NUTTER! I'M WHITE AND I'M PROUD OF YOU SIR! GOD BLESS YOU!

  • What a profound and amazing American. A credit to his gender, race and this country. If you don't get this, get out!!!!

  • Hey kids! Read THIS book: bit.ly / nnyhRu

  • "before we have to step to you" - Good man.

  • If he is religious he is a flake.

  • @icthruu4evr Wow. You are not exposed. I am an African-American educated female and although I work in public education with students and families that have societal and criminal issues, I associate with African-Americans who are educated, have great kids, to parents that are together, go to church, go on vacations around the world, make six or close to six figures. This has been my way of life for over 50 years. Perhaps you're not educated enough or make enough money to associate with them.

  • I love the way Protestant Churches pilfer Catholic teachings, having no idea what anything means. The Immaculate Conception happened to Mary in her mother's womb. It means Mary was preserved from Original Sin. Jesus' conception is called The Incarnation. You cannot say "the Immaculate Conception of Jesus".

  • God Bless Mayor Nutter

    

  • 28:19 there it is.

  • Great Mayor!

  • Wow! I like this Mayor!! God bless you sir!

  • I am not from Philadelphia. I am from Lost Angeles, in the People's Republik of Kalifornia. I have no idea where this man stands on national issues, but I do know where he stands on personal responsibility, which is at the core of every problem this great nation faces, today.

    I wish Tony Villar (aka Antonio Villaraigosa), had the balls to say this, to the youth of Lost Angeles. Every inner city youth, of every ethnicity, could use a similar kick in the arse.

    God Bless Mayor Nutter!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • I would be FAR happier with this MAN as president, than I am with the politician who now holds that office. This man speaks TRUTH, from his heart. He is not worries where the chips may fall, he tells it like it is. I am as conservative of a Republican as there is, and this is a man I could happily support, simply because he is HONEST, and not your run of the mill politician.

    God Bless Mayor Nutter!!!

  • I would love to see him as president. we all need a father figure BADLY!!!!!

  • Holy guac!

  • That is what a role model looks like. God bless mayor Nutter

  • If my son even did some shit like that, he'd better hope the law would get a hold of him before I do

  • What sort of after school programs the Mayor has on the table to combat the restlessness of the youth?

  • THANK THE LORD A REAL TRUE LEADER!!!!!!!!!!!

    I PRAY FOR REAL LEADERS LIKE THAT ALL OVER THIS COUNTRY!!!!!!!!

    THIS IS THE KIND OF REAL LEADERS WE NEED IN WASHINGTON D.C.. AND ALL OVER THIS COUNTRY!!!!!

    THE KIND OF REAL LEADER THAT SAYS IT LIKE IT IS!!!!!!

    REAL GUTS!!!!!!!!

  • BTW....That dude is right. Not to be racist but... Can we please just substitute the word "thugs" with "niggers" already. Try it next time you see it in a headline.... "A group of thugs beat everyone at a fair in Wisconsin"....works every time.

  • @icthruu4evr The doctor told to take your medicine!!!

  • Hey icthruu4evr, you sound a little bitter, and a little more uptight, and even more disgusting, but most of all JUST PLAIN STUPID!!!

  • Get your act together! Stop! we have in off of this non sense going on! and how the racist react....? like usual, thinking they are paying for everything , they are the only one who work hard, and there is nothing fair.. listen stop complaining about your stupid life, if your life suck , it is you f****** problem! You did not create the theory of relativity, Einstein did! So stop projecting yourself on things that you did not invent or even improved, you are a parasite like 99.9% of humans!

  • @AudreyMN1 actually, GOD created relativity and Einstein figured it out.

  • Now THAT is a leader!

  • God Bless this Mayor. A true leader.

  • I'll be writing him in for President next year!

  • I don't care if this man is a Republican, Democrat, Libertarian, Independent, or whatever. This is someone I could get behind and campaign for.

  • I actually think he didn't say enough but what he said was real and honest and I hope the people it was meant for heard him... sad we have to shame other human beings to be thoughtful, kind and a worthwhile person.

  • Finally a REAL black leader!!

  • @weewaa101 I knew that would be the first reaction to niggers who call him uncle tom and your one of them.I know those monkies running around the streets only beat up white people but i hope someday they mistake you for one and see if you feel the same way about your mayor getting tough on monkies acting like animals. niggers like you are the reason why decent people are predudice .you people are not civilized to be amongst decent people because of ur animalistic behavior.

  • greatness.

  • I can't even express how impressed I am with Mayor Nutter or the total respect I have for him as a person. And I'm a solid conservative. But he just stepped away from the "PC" and the political arena for that awesome talk.

  • I wonder what those idiots at msnbc though when they saw this.

  • Phenomenal speech.

  • The only thing that I don't like it is the bunch of white polices in this kind of job. Why they can not hire more Polices Officers minorities in order for some males fathers minorities in the city of Philadelphia take care of their own family working for the city polices. Ask the people of Human Resources how many regulations they have for minorities become polices officers. Do you think social economic prejudice it is not related with the situation that you have in Philip?

  • like this if you think this guys awseum

  • I enjoyed it until he started with the Father business, without mentioning that we force Fathers out of the lives of kids every day in divorce court.

  • Talk is cheap. Let's see if he backs it up with some action.

  • @oxlopez His pants are up, whatever hair is left is groomed... Nutter seems legit to me.

  • telling it as it is... nothing more - nothing less... good old values combined with a person that isn't afraid to speak out. Uncle Tom's Cabin was 1850ish... the world has moved on but its a crying shame some people haven't... Englands riots show the sheer ignorance....

  • Very great speech. He seems like he's a really good man. It's too bad he's a democrat and believes it's the role of big government to take care of these problems he speaks of. Maybe he's finally changing his mind after seeing the polices he supported in action as mayor firsthand.

  • @TheTrueConservative

    seems like you missed the point and all because this man has a little "D" besides his name. wasnt he saying that the parents should be the ones responsible for their children? while he did mention various resources and programs, it didnt sound like that was his solution to the problem. when you have that mindset of this guy is "D" or this guy is "R," you fall back on the slogans that have been fed to you, so you dont think for yourself and hear what others have to say

  • @etheangel2220 I agree with what he had to say. I was critical of his political record, which includes campaigning for Barrack Obama. Maybe you should read my post before jumping to any conclusions.

  • I wish everyone could be as honest as this smart man.

  • @buddydog316 how is this smart by going into a church and talking shit about how its all the parents fault??? how can u pin point a problem that is so complex??? bias bullshit!!
