Black America - "Emancipation Revelation Revolution"

[TheCaliCapitalist]

Another con game from the right wing.

[DoctorKillamassaLOGS]

i'm black but this video i see coons!

[barnetthejosh]

When they were freed why were they freed into America and not back where they came from? Seems to me they actually got very lucky getting slave jobs in plantations while their cousins are starving in Africa yet they perpetuate this guilt trip, blacks seem very creative in finding ways to feel sorry for themselves but they're never helped any other race

[cryora]

Well, don't you realize that back in the 1860s, Democratic was the party supported by the Southern states, while Republican (Lincoln's Party) was the party the Northerners supported. Slavery was something that was allowed in the South, and not the North.

Now if you look at how things are today, most Democratic voters are people from big cities in the North, while Republican voters are people from rural areas, especially the South.

This is in response to 4:20 in the video.

[page371069]

i can't stand these fuckin' coons.

[shieldsff]

It should also be noted that Dr. King and the civil rights movement argued for and demanded compensatory programs and strong [but temporary] racial preference job programs for blacks. These are proven solutions which black conservatives flatly deny and wrongly reject outright

[shieldsff]

With little exception, these individuals are advancing conservative cant and baseless, ad hominem arguments. We understand that the civil war amendments extended profound rights to blacks. The problem is reactionary, conservative democrats and republics who obstruct civil and economic equality for blacks . If Dr.King were alive conservative blacks would OPPOSE him as they did then; just like they oppose Rev. Dr. Jeremiah Wright now !

[Aenima2784]

How dare you compare Martin Luther King to that racist bigot

You have a lot to learn about the world around you

To compare those two men should let you see how much they are not alike at all

but of course you don't bother trying to learn the truth of the situation

[PremierLegend]

This is the conservative coon network! All they do is undermind blacks every chance they get on all the conservative talk shows. I don't get it. I am a "successful" black man, and I don't consider myself leaving any plantation, nor am I at odds with my people. So these coons need to enjoy their lives and cut it out.

[socc3rplay3r1]

1:18 Shouldn't people set their own goals? None of these people have credible reputations. 4:23 They're talking about republicans and democrats in the 1800's even though since then the parties have essentially switched sides on nearly everything. 9:32 Sadam Hussein leadership. Since when is giving people food and money so they can live mirror at all a man who persecuted and killed thousands. Sensationalize all you want, it doesn't make you more right. And get some credible sources.

[lafmassive]

Don't try and sell us on the fact that the democratic party is bad for blacks. There should be blacks in all parties as individuals who think for themselves not just democrats or just republicans. And although welfare can make a person dangerously complacent in life, what the hell is the alternative to family that doesn't have working parents and has hungry children? Should they starve to death? Welfare is a symptom of a bigger problem. Address the real problem.

[peppermintjohn666]

Shameless, pitiful, propaganda.

[jonzinmybonz]

how are u going to call black america a respectable organization and simotaneously say most blacks are not smart. who the hell are you to say we aren't smart??? i'm black and i'll match my brains against any man, i don't care what color!!!!!

[Divette2]

Isn't that Reverend the FOX network lacky?

[jcjamrock]

"Government is just the shadow cast on society by corporate elite's". Democrat or Republican paradigms are just ways to marganalize the uninformed masses.

[fionnoc]

america is such a joke. land of the free? huge crime rate, huge division, huge racism. its really an unsafe place. i think that countries in europe are ALOT more free.

[awake303]

There is an in-between. You can be socially libreal and fiscally conservative. I am an example of this. And I am black. I am with them on the economic side of the picture However, I am not so conservative that I believe that the U.S. Government has black people's interest in the forefrront, now that is a death wish. The white man's system of capitalism isn't to be trusted whole-heartedly.

[excel10k]

I am black as well. I don't see why the U.S. Gov should have to have black peoples interest in the forefront. We represent 13% of the population. As a nation, we need to have American interest in the forefront. We (blacks) are fully capable of perfroming on par with the white majority, to gov role is to ensure we have equal opportunity to do so. Not a forefront issue.

[jonzinmybonz]

the only thing about skipping all the talk is what are we going to do once we seize power??? we don't need to take over the government and that will never happen in this country. white folks have been running this shit for far too long and they got most of the country conditioned and blinded for us to ever overthrow the government. but what we could do is educate ourselves about the truth and learn how to exploit the system and make it work for us!!!!

[allikohcysp]

Fuck this political bullshit. Power to the people. Take the government by force! Lets start an army for justice and skip all the bullshit talk

Strom Thurmond is an interesting case study.

en[DOT]wikipedia[DOT]org/wiki/­Strom_Thurmond

He was the granddaddy of the Jim Crow era and a Democrat to boot. But in 1964 he SWITCHED to the Republican party because the Democrats became supportive of anti-segregation and Civil Rights. Since then there has been a sea-change as to the type of people who affiliate themselves with the Republican Party, especially in the south.

[localhost008]

Also, at last count there has been a grand total of three[3] black Republicans elected to the House of Representatives of the ninety[90] black Representatives elected since 1929. The numbers do not lie.

[10toesdown]

Who gives a shit about what "Republicans" did 150 years ago when their views of today do not have blacks (or any poor people) at heart? Give me a break...

[HOTma18]

The far left are the ones that want blacks to be slaves.

[jonzinmybonz]

it really doesn't matter if it's the far left,right,center or anywhere on the political spectrum. none of these parties are going to represent the masses of black people sincerely!!! once we understand that, we will be alright politically!!!!

[HOTma18]

It matters what side your on Jonzinmybonz...Stop... don't let the far left be your slave master anymore!We black conservatives are sick of the far left brain washing the youth with negative black popular culture.

[jonzinmybonz]

once again another miseducated black person who believes that this country loves blacks and that the right wing conservatives will help us!! if u have studied americas political system u should have realized that our parties aren't that ideological!!isn't it peculiar that around voting time everyone seems to move towards the center a little!!!hhhmmmmm i've said this before on this video. OUR PARTIES ARE WEAK IDEOLOGICALLY!!!!!

[HOTma18]

Blacks having respect and morals for themself has nothing to do with party lines jonzinmybonz.Blacks like you feel that everything in life is hopeless.You have a slave mentality...or plantation mentality.People like you feel that George washington carver,Garret A Morgan,and john stanard who created the refrigerator were wasting their time.

[jonzinmybonz]

no, blacks like myself believe that this country has done a great injustice to blacks, but that won't stop a brother like myself. i believe we must forgive the people who enslaved us which consequently placed us in an inferior position,but we must never forget!!!! i have a self help type personality so i will never look to be helped by anyone other than myself.

[HOTma18]

I understand what your saying ,and I agree with you.

[TedHayesJr]

If we Republicans did not care about the well being of all the people then who would buy all the products we make? :-) We do not judge people by gender or race only by character, ability and talent. I can tell a lot about your character by your statement. You think because you are Black we should treat you different. Your wrong.

[jonzinmybonz]

u say this as if people buy products based on party identification. people buy products based on need and wants. republican and democrats don't care about blacks, whites, or anyone els for that matter. these parties care about votes, whoever is more prone to vote for them, thats who they exploit. ur one of them!!!!!!!!

[jonzinmybonz]

bluenote71 i solute you for your honesty in recognizing your collectives people's disservice to black folk. it takes a real man to admit the ugly history of this country!!!

[bluenote71]

I'm white, but named after a black man (Charlie Parker). As I get older, I believe that blacks are forced into ghettos, and have ingrained into them that they're not supposed to amount to anything due to slavery and years of servitude. Should blacks pull themselves up? Yes. Should they be helped? Yes.

[HOTma18]

I agree with you bluenote71,but some blacks are brainwashed by the far left to think like a slave and to blame everyone for their bad days on Earth.I'm black and onone owes me nothing.

[EastAtlantaboy]

Would you elaborate more about thinking like a slave?

[gzawa]

im black and i say this video is irrelevant fuck slavery fuck this sad attempt to attract black voters. i say fuck slavery its over with lets move on now this issue and improve our situation. we still live in a racist society but come on slavery?

[nandansho]

Crap! The Republicans ENDED SLAVERY? Who the motherfuck Started and SUSTAINED THAT SHIT Micky Mouse? Fuckin Bullshit Vid about Republicans breakin their arms patting themselves on the Back for ending Slavery Like the Germans had to pay Jews and the Japenese were paid. Especially for the burning of Black Wallstreet. It was a Goddamn promise by the GOVERNMENT Lincoln. 40 acres and 2 Mules for fighting in the CIVIL WAR. Motherfuck these assholes OR all whites out of Africa and we'll take over.

[JeffersDodge]

Racist

[poohlu]

black people get off that jesus slave shit

[JeffersDodge]

BruGal - You are confused....

The civil right movement was started by Republicans... Check your facts, before you argue in public. Remember Lincoln the first Republican President and the KKK a Democratic terrorist group?

We are the culture of life while the Socialists (Democrats) are the culture of death... 30 million black babies have been aborted in the last 360 months because of Socialist principles.

[BruGaI]

Ahh, here we go, history lessons.

Fact: The original KKK was founded by Democrats.

Fact: The second wave of the KKK (the one that opposed the Civil Rights Movement of the '60s) was predominantly Republican.

Fact: After Lincoln's assassination, no Republican legislator or head of state made mention of civil rights.

Fact: Abortion is an elective procedure.

P.S. Don't direct your O'Reilly "culture war" bullshit at me.

[migsy80]

There is only one race...its the human one. we can think independently, if we do it should be about peace and love. not race religion or gender. i believe people can do that and beat prejudices. you make think i live in dreamland but there was a man that once said "i have a dream"...the world stood up and took notice of those immortal words, why have we all gone back to sleep?!

[Stronghurst]

"There is only one race...its the human one."

No, that is obviously not true, and by shutting our eyes to that we do more harm than good.

[migsy80]

Its because of people like you that my comment will never be universally recognised...you define race under many things like colour of skin, religion etc that's what causes boundaries. you are absolutely right, we can't shut our eyes, as it would cause more harm than good, but we must also hold on to the idea that one day we can get to being one race of people, defined as a species above all else

[KristopherTruth]

I just wanted to add that the Republican of today or not the same Republican of the past and same with Democrate. The names are the same but the beliefs and agendas have changed or switched. The Democrates of today or more like the Republicans of the past and vice versa. This changed happened in the early 2oth century due to legistration changes that gave Blacks more "freedom" in our society.

I just hate that they try to simulate Demacrates witht he past one and so forth.

[Verlch]

ONly 2% of whites ever owned slaves!!!

[DJBlackHistory]

You people crack me up! Why do we continue getting caught up in the words "Democrats and Republicans" and think that these are the same minds during and shortly after slavery. Not all, but Democrats owned slaves(Stock,Money,Power). Today most large business owners(Stock,Money,Power)are Republicans. Democrats are not the same people of yesterday, and Republicans are not the same people of yesterday. Don't let people trick you getting caught up on the "Names". In America, money rule politics.

[kingauthor]

You are wrong. The Reps, like today, believed in the strength and independence of the individual while the Dems, like today, believe in central planning, big government & social welfare whether its in the form of slavery in the 1800's or the welfare programs of today. Republicans would never resort to fascists groups like the KKK. The difference has always been in principles (God vs the State), values (the party of life vs death) & the integrity of the family, which the Dems have no respect for.

[bobo1892]

All politricans are full of shit.

[kingauthor]

You are not spiritual or religious are you? Does facts reason and truth scare you? Work just a little harder find the truth because it will set you free. You are partially right most politicians are full of it... but not all. For me it is family, community, and a moral God that drives me. What I say about black history in America is about facts which tells a story of truth... If it goes against your Rasta head then this is your problem man

[BruGaI]

So the Blacks were better off without the Civil Rights Movement because your moral God said so? This is why debating a religious person is fruitless, because they always invoke a supposedly infallible God that can't be questioned, as if a person can't be good or logical without God.

P.S.: It's humorous that you consider the Republicans the party of life, given their stance on capital punishment. But this shouldn't surprise me when your Bible proposes death for working on the Sabbath.

[ImperialPimp]

"Up until the early sixties Blacks were doing fine.."

That is the biggest load of horse-shit I have ever heard. Yeah, it was just SO GREAT for black folks back then!

"Why is your hate for whitey so strong that you can't see the truth?"

Umm.. I AM WHITE ! I just think your version of the "truth" is badly distorted.Those white people that eventually gave black folks a break, I would hardly call them "Republicans"

[IslamicDemocrat]

Setting prejudice aside and the Dem's KKK that perpetuated it, Blacks were doing fine. They were educated, elected politicians and home owners. This went spiraling downhill when welfare was offered as a bribe for their vote. You're right "Those people who gave Blacks a break" - welfare, abortion, drugs - were not Republicans. See our truths are compatible. I grew up in a world that respected words and the words I lived by were from MLK and JFK. Obviously you are to young to remember.

[BruGaI]

So Blacks were educated, worked hard, held good jobs, earned good wages and owned their own homes but the Democrats offered them welfare, drugs, and shitty living conditions, and the Blacks said "Sounds good to me!" Doesn't sound very educated to me.

It's ignorant to say that Blacks were doing fine right off the bat with the abolition of slavery. They were illiterate and knew nothing of the world outside of the plantation.

I guess the Dems aren't all bad if you lived by the words of JFK...

[masonweaver]

Don't forget my friend. "Most peoplel" were illiterate. Especially in the South.

[BruGaI]

"Most people" is easily a misleading term, especially in the 19th century. In a time when women played no role outside the home, literacy rates were easily at or below 50% without even considering the Blacks. But that's beside the point; slaves were uneducated, had no capital, had never been independent, and didn't know how much they should be paid for whatever skill they had from the plantation in a country that still had no minimum wage. These people were simply too easy to exploit.

[ImperialPimp]

Democtrats are just sooo evil. Who are these black people in this video? True sell-outs. Just because the Democrats were the ones to originally introduce welfare, what was the Republican idea for black folks? Were Republicans really pushing for improvement in the lives of blacks? DOUBT IT. The video is pure propaganda

bullshit. It is totally shamefull.

[IslamicDemocrat]

Why do you need help? What is up with your self-esteem? The Republicans sent hundreds of thousands of their sons to defeat the Southern Democrats and free the slaves and you are still just stewing in loathsome anger. Why is your hate for whitey so strong that you can't see the truth? Up until the early sixties Blacks were doing fine, education, home ownership, hope - yes there was a lot of prejudice -- to much. But the KKK was in full swing then and they were the Democrat's Taliban.

[jonzinmybonz]

yeah they wanted us to have rights and citizenship while they held all of the resources that could really free our people.

[kingauthor]

Refocus your attention, passion and determination to helping yourself first be the best and noblest that you can be. The best you can do for your culture is set the example.

In other words, quite being so intellectually lazy.

BTW Who is "THEY".

[jonzinmybonz]

your right in saying that the best way to help my people is by bettering myself. i totally agree with that and i would challenge you to intellectually engage me in anything political. yes i'm a young black male and i bet i know just about as much or more about american politics than you. please engage me.

[jonzinmybonz]

neither party has ever done anything for african americans. the only party that can truly and sincerely help african americans is a party of their own that pursues their own interest.

[Renwomen]

The Republican party was founded by a group of abolistionists from the Democrats, Free Soilers and Whigs who had as their only goal the freedom of slaves, their complete and total citizenship and the right to vote.

[kingauthor]

The Republicans set American slaves free and we never asked for anything in return except to be good citizens. The Republicans believe in individual strength and independence not dependence on the state. The Dems created the KKK to suppress blacks. The Dems created the welfare state to trap blacks. Do blacks truly and sincerely need our help? MLK's dream was a dream for all Americans, black and white, and for this man it has come true. Now how about you?

[BruGaI]

KKK: Created by Democrats, abused by Republicans. If you think I'm lying, look up the history of Indiana politics. And while you're at it, take a gander at Alabama politics, where the KKK started out being involved in noble causes but got a little carried when they thought they had the gov't in their back pockets.

[kingauthor]

then tell me one thing that the democratic party has done for african americans.... and if you do create a list compare it to what the republicans have done for blacks and the afghans, the iraqis the europeans and the japanese. remember the reason for two party politics is to try to crate a meeting of the minds and not one super ideology. socialism and communism can be found on the junk heap of history but the democrats keep trying to work it in to our system...

[Renwomen]

Democrats overturned 2 dozen civil rights bills that the Repblicans passed when they gained total control in 1893, and instituted Jim Crow laws that kept the country divided by race for another 70 years.

[jonzinmybonz]

yes republicans and democrats have different philosophies, but when u relate that to african americans it means nothing. if you know your american politics you know that are politicians and parties here in america aren't very ideological(in fact their weak). meaning they say what everyone wants to hear in order to get their vote and really don't have strong ideologies.

[Renwomen]

That is why the south seceeded . .. to prevent that from happening. Lincoln was the first Republican president. The 13th, 14th and 15th amendments were passed overwhelmingly by Republicans and not one democrat supported them.

[kingauthor]

TO JONZ & HATE -- Your idea that Republicans and Democrats are the same is ludicrous... Republican values of a moral God, the belief in the strength and independence of the individual, the sanctity of the family, a strong military and free market economics are 100% contrary to what the far left of the Democratic party holds as values.

[jonzinmybonz]

this video is very biased, very pro republicans. one thing that this video purposely failed to reveal was that in the before the civil war, democrat and republican ideologies were opposite. democrats were "for" the rich and republicans were "for" the poor. after the civil war they adopted their current ideologies.

[jonzinmybonz]

it is important for the black community to understand american politics. we must not identify with either political party because neither really has our best interest at heart. the only thing that their trying to do is win elections and seats. we must create our own party that can unite the masses (of which are poor)of blacks and vote in our own interest. also we must not compromise ourselves and our goals!!!!

[allikohcysp]

SPOT ON!!

[ObjectiveHate]

Republicans and democrats are the same, the only difference, one is a lesser evil. Do any of you really think that wealthy white democrats or republicans care about anyone that is not just like them?

[ObjectiveHate]

Wow, blaming democrats for slavery and welfare. 100% of republicans in 1865 voted to decrease or end their wealth? Yeah, I can believe that... Mr. Shelby Steele, most "black's" definition of being black is not aligned with that of a drug dealer's existence.

[jpeditor]

Terrific! Forward this nation-wide!

[shreddog2049]

The rappers are the one destroying the black and white youth. They teach kids that the goal of life is treating girls like stripper sex objects, spending your last penny to put $2000 rims on your car, and buying $150 basketball shoes. Black pop culture is destroying our country.

[ObjectiveHate]

Your remarks are nothing more than a surface answer. Dig deeper.

[ObjectiveHate]

Who taught the rappers? And I might add that not all rappers live the type of lifestyle you mention above.

[shreddog2049]

I agree not all rappers do, but most all of the ones that the kids think are cool do. You might have some more mature people that understand the deeper thinkers, but it would be very very few. And liberal hollywood is who taught the rappers, and who continues to pervert our culture.

[ParadigmShift302]

Don't just point fingers at Rappers. Bring up music from OTHER genres too. It was'nt "Black Pop Culture" that caused those WHITE kids to Riot during Woodstock 99- That was a ROCK concert! Are the Rappers influencing movies like Jack@ss 1 and 2? Are Rappers influencing NON BLACK politicians to be pedophiles? What about the US Deficit? I think the issues are a lot greater than Rap or so called "Black" Pop culture.

[shreddog2049]

Hahaha, ok, Woodstock??? That was ONE concert with a bunch of stupid frat boys. I'm talking about stupid rap music influencing every part of our culture and corrupting people of all ages. And Jackass?? Thats a few guys that like to hit each other....whats the big moral corruption there? And how many kids are running around dressing like old white politicians? You just can't defend the sex and disrespect message that dominates every part of rap music.

[ParadigmShift302]

Like I said, the issues that plauge this country/world can not be specific to so called negative Black popular "culture", but then again, neither did I say I defended it ;-/

[shreddog2049]

Who said it was the only problem? My point is that it's the worst one facing the 40 and younger of America today. You've got 30 something idiots riding around with big chrome rims and rap music blasting out of their suburban. It's sad and infuriating! I don't want to hear your stupid music!

[ParadigmShift302]

Then do something about it

[shreddog2049]

I actually do, it's funny because it exposes these stupid wanna be gangsters that think they're so tough. If they pull up beside me at a light and I can hear their radio over mine, I just sit on the horn of my big Chevy truck until they turn their radio down. The stupid pussies never look over.

[ParadigmShift302]

good for you :-)

[shreddog2049]

I know you think I'm a racist redneck, but I wore out more than one RUN DMC tapes when I was a kid along with some easy e, so I like good rap music, but nobody makes anything good anymore, and back then it didn't have such a hold on the culture.

[ParadigmShift302]

ok....

[allikohcysp]

well, where's your answer to Paradigm's comment? Go watch 'Darwin's nightmare' and see for yourself how things work. Ignorant idiot

[shreddog2049]

Theres my answer to his flimsy question. Oh, and if you think calling me silly names helps your point be right, you're wrong. I know black pop culture teaches you to be all loud and just talk a person down with a bunch of insults and yelling, but that won't win an adult debate.

[allikohcysp]

Yeah and making assumptions based on so called 'black pop culture'does little for your argument and credibility. Just another intellectual poser.

[HOTma18]

Black pop culture has nothing to do with Blacks history.

[shreddog2049]

I know, I'm only talking about black pop culture that has taken over in the past 10-15 years.

[shreddog2049]

Assumptions about what?? You don't even know how to debate something. Will you quit trying to "act" smart and actually make a coherent point.

[allikohcysp]

its not my fault your too dumb to understand. I ca explain it to you in other languages if english is too hard for you

[shreddog2049]

It's not an assumption that Black pop culture (i.e. hip hop, rap, movies, ebonics) has taught girls that it's an accomplishment to be looked at only as a sex object and that they should make a living by being as slutty as possible with as many rich guys as possible. Also that it's an good thing to be a stripper and dance like one every chance you get. It's disgusting and it's keeping black people in poverty.

[allikohcysp]

mate, you can say that about a lot of things in america. For you to attatch it to black pop culture and to some how claim thats where this idea comes from is pathetic. Pop culture in general give out the same suggestive ideas. Hollywood movies etc. Stop trying to make it out as if 'black pop culture' is the source of the universe's problems

[shreddog2049]

Oh no, you're wrong. Rap/black pop culture took sexual promiscuity to a whole new level, and was alone in making stripping a honorable profession. Hollywood/liberals have dressed slutty, but rap alone made women proud to be sex objects.

[allikohcysp]

and i bet they're also responsible for child pornography too. You're an idiot

[shreddog2049]

No, but they are responsible for all the anal sex people are having! Why to they like that? Probably cause monkeys do it that way! lol!!!

Hey, you won't answer a serious question, so I'll just goof off with you.

[allikohcysp]

just as i thought. Just another excuse to justify your racist views. Whateva man. We can talk once you rid yourself of hate. Your racist views prove to me that you can not be reasoned with so there is no point discussing anything with you. Goof off all you want. Doesn't change my day

[belias360]

Oh no you just fuckin did NOT just say that blacks are the cause for all the anal sex people are having! You have no proof or substantial evidence on this do you? Yeah that's right I'm black AND I can use big words! I got Honors English 3 at my High School! What is it? Afraid that someone black is actually more educated and "articulate" than ur dumb ass?

[shreddog2049]

Honey, go back up and read what I was responding to. I was being sarcastic because the guy I was talking to was just being stupid and wouldn't be serious.

Oh, and it doesn't really help your assertion that you are smarter than me, to be cursing and calling me names. It makes it sound like you got honors at your high school very recently........meaning that you sound very immature.

[driveru2]

VERY NICE KINGAUTHOR
