Dinesh D'Souza says racism is not the cause of black failure

[momquiqui]

This is sooo good. If people could just open their minds to the possibility that there is truth in his message, it would finally liberate the black community from the ongoing downward spiral they find themselves in. Dinesh is so calm and informed, so sincere I think he's the perfect messenger. I pray he is able to make a difference.

[dansdaughter12760]

It is like this (D'Souza understands this), if I am walking down a street and a black man in a business suit, a hispanic in a plumbers outfit and and a white guy in a chef's outfit are all approaching me (coming toward me), I will have no real fear. But if a guy in a pair of butt revealling pants and a houdie, no matter the color or "race", approaches me, I will feel alarm. Why because working folk who are seeking a better, responsible life do not scare me but hoodlems by any other name do.

MICHELLE ALEXANDER`S BOOK " THE NEW JIM CROW" WOULD SHUT HIM THE F%^^ UP!!

[TruheadzaNo]

THE SAD TRUTH ABOUT DINESH`S OPINION IS GREATLY FLAWED.

[TruheadzaNo]

First of all Africans were first in everything.Everyone comes from Africa.

[Jaymaul009]

He thinks government should be race-neutral but that private enterprise should be free to discriminate...

Can any of you imagine being born to black parents in such a system D:

[WayneLynch69]

AS ALWAYS!! with D'Souza; GREAT JOB!!!

Are these mind-bending refutations in the comments intended to support

EVERYTHING D'Souza contends by their imbecilic absence of substance?

Impossibly, the attempted refutations make a stronger case for D'Souza, than D'Souza.

Chanting "whites are to blame" is running on fumes. Having elected a black President will hopefully kick the legs out from it forever.

THEN WHAT?!?!?!

[1polymath]

I would like to see Dinesh debate Cornell West.

[zzzak123]

@1polymath

Cornell is a reactionary who hasn't updated his views since the 1960's.

[sayedelijah]

sheltered, because he doesn't know shit about the black experience, this man doesn't know shit about black socio- economic struggles and this man most definitely don't know shit about black people with his white Eurocentric philosophy of the true reason why the black race is poor uneducated and disenfranchised, what a fukin idiot, this man needs to fly himself and his book into the sun and burn together. Unbelievable!!!!

[sayedelijah]

First, I just wanna thank u for sending me this clip Rell because I didn't know who this guy was, now I do. Next, I just wanna say that this man, Dinesh D'Souza is an absolute retard with a bird's eye view perspective of the internal racial war between blacks, whites, and native Americans, of course he didn't mention them at all. Getting back to the topic, this man is clueless about the internal racial discrimination of blacks, and how it affects there everyday lives, whether in school, busine

[stsr23]

American Blacks are the most racist people it seems.

[TruheadzaNo]

@stsr23 ARE YOU F%%% KIDDIN ME?lmao!!!GOVERNMENT AGENT ARE FLYING PLANES THAT SPRAY CHEM TRAILS TO MAKE US SICK AND TO POLLUTE THE EARTH.I`M SURE THE GUYS FLYING THE PLANES ARE WHITE!!!WHITE FOLKS ARE EVIL AS FUCK.EVERYWHRE THE WHITE PEOPLE GO THE INDIGENOUS PERISH.ONLY YOU DEGENERATES THINK THAT`S COOL.

[Bboiblack]

PAUL MOONEY lol.

[24running]

African Americans obviously don't like to hear that their race has problems. This is expected. But while you look at the facts, you will see that everything D'Souza says is true. Sure we could keep throwing money at the problem. But does this fix the true problem? No! How we are going to fix these numbers is by changing the culture of African Americans, once this happens, then the numbers that have been proven multiple times will lower to those of whites and minorities.

[trealboihottie]

@24running I'm black. And I agree! 

[Jblod240]

It would be nice to have this conversation in our public forums and media, refreshing. Of course we would have to exclude the "professional" race-ers like Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton and David Duke for it to even get off the ground. Maybe one day. I'd love to see black Americans to prosper over any other country, I would be quite proud.

[army2k08]

The fault doesn't lie on one side or the other but both..It takes two to tango.

[jc1838]

The cab driver would only be acting rationally if the black person looked suspicious; otherwise he is acting irrationally.

To assert the end of white racism would have no effect is absurd. Blacks would have an easier time raising money for their businesses and the media and the penal system would be more fairer and thus black people would prosper.

Other races control the supply chain and have the social capital, that's why their businesses thrive. And, Blacks tend to need more leverage.

[stsr23]

@jc1838 waaaaa waaaaaa!!!!!!

[One24liberty]

Dinesh is right because I'm hispanic and my hispanic neighborhood is full of business and restuarants mostly all owned and operated by hispanics. My neighborhood is consider lower middle class but it's a fair place to live because families are strong here where fathers are present. It's not taboo to get an education and earn success.

Why was Harlem so alive with business and culture in the 1920's? Because blacks rich and poor stood together. Rich blacks flee their neighborhoods.

[DaMostEnigmatic]

it's true, I'm black, I agree, are you all happy now? Are black people supposed to feel offended? Is this video's purpose to get a rise out of black people or just to subtly single them out? What if black people agreed with this and moved on? Just asking, no harm intended.

[NakedLunch2]

@DaMostEnigmatic If you look at the countries black people are from in Africa, black folks do much, much worse still. Who is the racist there? Is The Man keeping them down there as well. They hardly have any whitey there.

The fact is that American blacks do so much better because people from Europe have created a standard of living that no black nation anywhere comes abywhere close to and U.S. blacks get to benefit as well.

[DaMostEnigmatic]

@NakedLunch2 ok, you're right, blacks are hopelessly stupid

[76rwc]

'black culture is in some respects inferior to white culture' statements like that will earn him more contracts with Fox

[joeschmo468]

@76rwc Perhaps, but still true. No offense, but this guy is right! Look, when I began work similar to this guys, I did not wnat to repeat the numbers, but they are true. I know everyone! I am a racist pig!

[76rwc]

@joe This guys job is to pedal nonsense, there is a market for it, the ignorant dont like to have to think deeply themselves.You might notice that when Dinesh is not on Fox he is also on the Christian apologetic circuit -spouting more nonsense, he thinks he is a philospher - would a christian or enlightened individual be spreading hate and discrimination whilst filling his wallet? He is literally a tool.

[SezSays]

It kind of sucks that the people commenting with hate missed his point entirely and are quote-mining. In their defense, I think they honestly couldn't get past some of the non-typical phrases Dinesh used, and thus missed the explanation as to WHY he said them.

[eche73]

This moron is a racist.

[joeschmo468]

@eche73 And you are an idiot! That is the response of every liberal. If you did your own research, you would see that there is complete truth in what he is saying. But, you do not know history and you are stupid. "Multiculturalism" has become a religion to liberals. You can show them scientific proof in the differences of the races and they will not believe it. Just like the ignorant folks from the middle ages who refused to believe in science in an effort to defend their religious beliefs.

[eche73]

@joeschmo468 yes, if you mean etymologically (greek-idios). I have my own mind and I think for myself. Everything relating to human development is physiological. Environmental forces shape psychological function. This dude who you think is right is the most ignorant ego centric racist of 2011!

[jawadtlg]

how can he say black have to give up there culture as it us something which is inferior..

[ADULTEDUCATION4U]

This guy is a typical Indian racists, most that come here to the US take the role of the oppressor,met some thru friends that wouldnt even speak or shake my hand, these people, and immigrants that come here, always,always,seem to love whites no matter what class, and hate on AA, they are tools of the racist structure, that they use to help demoralize and destroy blacks and write books to justify their racism and class ism, typical house negro nothing special.

[jwilly39]

@ADULTEDUCATION4U His numbers on blacks vs whites are correct. My friend, do your own research and you will see that it is true. I know, I am a racist, stupid, ignorant, and need to die or at the very least have my ass kicked. Well, if all that were true about me, his numbers on blacks would still be correct.

[DaMostEnigmatic]

@ADULTEDUCATION4U People who post these videos subtly try to offend or single out black people. Blacks are their target. Are we suppose to feel offended and get a rise out of it, or care?

[throwdini23]

@ADULTEDUCATION4U

You are the one saying racist things. I'm Hispanic and I would say that a lot of what he says applies to Hispanic people as well because we don't want to improve the culture as a whole and don't push our kids hard enough. I also think to many Hispanics are too liberal in a lot of ways.
