Fox News' Juan Williams gets emotional on Obama's election

[PhantomLyric]

Ummm... Did he forget about Africa and the apartheid?

[whateverman181]

@PhantomLyric Umm...there were black leaders and rulers in the region currently known as South Africa before the British came and f'd up everything and tried to tell Africans what to do in their own nation. The election of Nelson Mandela was historic but it was historic because they overcame colonization. Obama's election was historic because blacks were brought to a foreign country and enslaved and were told from day one that they weren't even people but property.

[PhantomLyric]

@whateverman181 What's your point?

[JetScreamerJr]

LOL! This Shine doesn't know whether he wants to praise Pres Obama or denigrate him. You can't walk the line all your life, FOOL! Your skin is dark. Deal with it and stop being whitey's BOY!

[lander4545]

And now the base of liberal media has fired Juan Williams! How disgusting! So glad that Fox news gave Juan a multiple year contract. :)

[k3304]

Thanks Juan. Obama and his 10% unemployment sucks

[dsjj251]

@BurnAllNegros you want to be one of us and you know it.

[dsjj251]

@BurnAllNegros you want to be one of us. little bitch. you are just mad because you can be one of us.

[dsjj251]

@BurnAllNegros yes, calling me a nigga hurts so much, ha ha, you wish you were black, i bet you work for black people and are just pissed.

[dsjj251]

@BurnAllNegros , wow, Fuck you.

[jwri]

Juan Williams knows what's up! He knows what it means. Go on and cry brother!

[bumper302]

juan williams no matter how u want to kiss up to fox news and the republicans i see theres still some black left in u

[georgelewis]

The Agenda is over for fox news , Barack Obama is the winner!

[LorenzoLFM]

Barack Obush

[kksf1979]

electing Obama was amazing but the USA had just elected a guy who was basically given the job by his dad in the previous 2 elections

[choppedandscrewed69]

Obama is still a whore to Wall Street and banksters.

[Skeez057]

Everyone wants to give Obama a hard time... it's been less then a Year since he was elected.. He's not a fuckin Magician but only a man... Given time I think we all will see how his policies develop. Be more patient b4 rushing to judgment.

[choppedandscrewed69]

Obama promised alot of things but either has not done them or just continued Bush's policies. There has been no tangible changes, and we are nearly a year into this.

[Skeez057]

Look what he came into his presidency with.. The biggest promise he made was for health care... I don't think people realize how big of a deal this health care bill really is.. every demo president for the pass 50-75 years has been trying to get health care thru.. and he is making it happen. And how is he continuing Bush policies.. He said in the campaign that he wanted to commit more troops to Afgan so there is no surprise there..

[choppedandscrewed69]

He said he was anti-war. That was bullshit. He bailed out Wall Street thugs, most of who are connected to his administration. He is a Wall Street puppet, controlled by Goldman Sachs.

[jwri]

@choppedandscrewed69

Did you expect him to snap his fingers and click his heels and everything would magically be alright? It took 8 years of Bush to run the country into the ground & it's going to take our President some time to get us out of this muck. But look at his accomplishments to date. He has passed a sweeping healthcare reform, Wall street reform, equal pay for women, passed a stimulus package, lifted the ban on stem cell research to name a few. Our President rocks!

[ifusuckilltellu]

I voted for John and Sarah but I found myself balling when it was broadcasted that Barack was the 44th president-Elect (At That Time) of the United States of America because I was caught up in the feeling knowing what ethnics around the country and not just black ethnics but anyone other then European decent ethnics it was history and even though I don't agree with her plans or again didn't vote for his ticket this moment was bigger then the Earth!

[ifusuckilltellu]

*Around the country had been through *He

[semowery]

Wonder how many of those people in the video are now regretting their decision?????

[kimbaptise]

Listen to him. He wants to be on the winning side now.

[US13100]

I can see now why many people feel hate Juan Williams, and feels he is a sell-out, based on this clip. After all, he does have an advanced degree, and once hosted America's Black Forum. And is an NPR contributor. And is a liberal. And tells it like it is. Too damn much. No wonder we as a people (I'm referring to black people) sometimes gets things totally ass backwards; REAL truth fighters like Juan get bashed like moron thugs like Jay-Z get all the love.

[gogetta411]

Juan Williams Hates Black People.

[MA453]

1:10... I can think of one : Bolivia, were an indigenous got elected president. In Quebec we came close to having a gay prime-minister. Stop thinking that oppressed minorities in power is exclusive to America.

[quetou]

I love that Youtube exist. Here, I get to prove to others why my garndparents called conservative whites blue eyed devils. Now that was 40 years ago...and through this great vehicle...I can do what they couldnt. Show people.

[ChurchillTea]

Not all of us are blue eyed. I'm sure there was a lot of pain that goes into this comment, but you're wrong if you think that covers all of us...and UNFORTUNATELY, there is still alot of racism in BOTH parties.

[yes4me]

wow there is a journalist still human on FOX? Wow... 5/5 for Williams

[ChurchillTea]

I can't believe these comments come on! I didn't vote for Barack Obama, I'm caucasion (part Hispanic)....I still would NOT VOTE FOR BARACK OBAMA, but I -and others like me- can still appreciate that this was a great victory for our nation. I watched Sheri from the View break down .....and I just about broke down too, because I DO get it and I DO care about people I disagree with...IT IS POSSIBLE TO DO THAT.

[Rodriguez87]

I'm a Democrat, voted for Obama, but come on people! Just because someone is black means they can't be a Republican? They don't have the free will to decide their own political values for themselves?

Leave Juan Williams alone.

[popiedo]

what is wrong with Juan Williams, not the crying part, but his constant agreeing with people who are so wrong, just today the same house republican last week stated we need more money in the stim bill for homeowners, than stated we shouldn't have money going for homeowners and a waste and they J.W. full heartly agreeing with him, and not once questioning what he stated the week before. where as any other NPR commentator would have question that statement and asked if it was posturing or F/F

[BlackMambakins]

hes upset (crying whatever) because obama didnt comprimise who he was to get where he has gotten in his life... and obama got where he did with the help of millions of americans of ALL ethnicities.

[Pharaoh07]

Williams probably almost got fired for that. He may have had to tap dance a little for Massa to keep his job.

[snipesmatka]

lol @ tap dance

[And1Calvin]

naah they saw some black men crying on other news then they say to themself HEY WE GOT SOME NEGROS here too, get them to cry. haha

[dontfuckwithmeman]

YOU ARE SO RIGHT !!!! Juan Williams is a self hating COWARD that will say whatever MASSA wants him to say. He is a pathetic,scared,loser.

[ChurchillTea]

There is something discriminatory in people looking at the color of your skin and assumeing that you most certainly vote a certain way because , you couldn't possibly have a different view being the "color" you are. People DON'T do that with white people....they don't look at you and assume you vote repub. why should people look at a black person and assume they vote democratic? That's a kind of prejudice.

[reachingsumwhere]

@Pharaoh07 The only time I'm aware of Juan Williams' firing was from NPR for being a racist.

[kimbaptise]

Yeah brother Juan, come on home.

[Greenandscaly]

Juan Williams is to black Americans what the Vichy French were to France during WWII. I bet if Williams, Fox News and TV had been around during the Civil War, he'd have been crying over the North's victory, while white pundits around him would have been lamenting the fall of the Confederacy. JW probably would have said something like, "Well, this is a historic moment, and even though I didn't AGREE with the slaves being freed, you've GOT to recognize the signficance of this event!"

[stealthyf23]

How the hell can you compare the slavery with an presidential election. Slavery was an immoral thing, while choosing a president is not about one's skin color, but about his ideals and is abilities to carry those ideals into reality. How the hell can you even think to compare the two together?

[stealthyf23]

slavery is immoral, but how the hell does disagreeing with a presidential candidate on a political stand point immoral? Your comparison is completely irrelevant.

[Greenandscaly]

Were those tears of joy for Obama's historic win, Juan, or tears of guilt because, as a Fox News contributor, you tried to get McCain elected?

[stealthyf23]

guilt? What guilt? A president should be elected not by his skin color but in the trust of his ideals and abilities. Jaun cried because he's a black man, and the realization that this country has come so far, but that didn't change the fact that his political position were not in line with Obama's. There's no guilt here, only your ignorance.

[clokverkorange]

Have to give a thumbs up to this. Listen to McCain's concession speech if you want to understand how you can respect someone but still disagree with them politically.

[AfroImpi]

I love watching his commentary. It's a very realistic reaction to Obama's victory. We all wept on that day.

[JerseySlugga85]

jaun williams that sell out ass nigga i should crack his skull after the shit that muthafuck been sayin about obama

[shorttam23]

I have no problem with educated or successful blacks, I love it and don't think they are acting or trying to be white.But Juan has been calling Obama a radical,socialist, and even said he has racist and terrorist ideals.He never disagreed with issues but he fed into the negativity and character slandering that the republicans and Fox news tried to push.He has been against an Obama presidency from the beginning, so why the hell is he acting like he cares now? The term house nigger fits him well.

[lischeyboy615]

Can you believe that no one had something negative to say on Fox News on this day. WOW!

[toukijinmaster]

Fashizze is right on the money! I remember listening to Juan W. on Fox. I couldn't beleive that shit coming out of his mouth. He is a Uncle Tom, house nigga scum...period. I'm glad he was feeling it though.

[fashizze]

that sell out needs to shut the fuck up with all that fake emotion ..fuck u juan ..uncle tom, house nigger,sambo, hankerchef head,steppin fetchit, bastard

[EGarrett01]

I hate stuff like this. The whole idea of fighting racism is that you let a black person become whoever he wants to be and not be hamstrung by the color of his skin. You calling him all the names is the same thing that the racists do, only from the other side. Not cool, man.

[fashizze]

your not the same race as me so you have to way of understanding my digust for people like him ... i stand for diginity ..and this man is a disgrace to me and a vast majority to proud african americans

[EGarrett01]

Why don't you check my profile before you say I'm not the same race as you.

The best future is having black people on ALL sides of society. Rich, poor, workers, owners, democrats, republicans. That's the only time that we'll know that skin color isn't defining people.

[seeker4truth]

South Africa is not that "other country." The majority in South Africa was ruled by an oppressive minority. In the case of our country, it is the case of a minority being traditionally chided by a majority. Obama's election is a first and it is history making.

[iringlead]

South Africa, might be that other country? Mandela.

[Damazigh]

South Africa is not white asshole.

[iringlead]

I don't believe Williams said "no other white country"...Until recently black people in South Africa - who are the majority in that country - weren't allowed to vote. Don't you remember how the rest of the world reacted when Mandela was elected president? No need to call me an asshole.

[AfghansWorld]

in south Africa those fucking minority colourless people were evil while in power. and they were getting support from the west. eventually democrocy came and madela released and people loowed to vote and etc...............

[47f0]

Iringlead, you fail at listening comprehension. Juan specifically referred to oppressed MINORITIES - not the case in SA.
