Larry Elder On CNN

[PharaohMC]

Larry Elder is whiter than Snow White.

[hmagombe]

let's look at black people who are reps and those who are dems. different mental capacity, black reps have had the same privilege that white republicans had. that's wealth, black dems, majority have had a hard time putting food on the table. going to school. So you can see that ideology drives people's political mentality

[Sinnerswing]

There is nothing new here. Everyone knows many liberals love focusing on race!

[queenepstein]

at lease I got to meet him, he's alright

[ninjanickb]

Selling yourself/book isn't just about having sound ideas...which Elder has. You've also got to be a likable guy...which Elder isn't.

Elder should pay more attention to Thomas Sowell's delivery.

[09blackindedependent]

I like Larry Elder and black republicans, and white republicans but I disagree with crime being an issue only in black communties, crime is color blind and blacks go to the more privlidged to buy their dope and sell it to make a profit, statistics are a bunch of numbers done by organizations in certain regions of the country, republicans understand this and know this they just don't like to admit it

[09blackindedependent]

Blacks need to realize that selling eight balls is an option, having children while financially strapped is an option, inadequate education is an option, just because you are poor it does not give you the right to make poor decisions, that is an option, and it is unfair to call black republicans uncle toms just because they are outspoken regarding black crime, black poverty, and black attitudes

[Pighood]

Surprise, surprise...liberals are racists.

[nparga23]

welcome back Larry to KABC

[amazondotcombuyer]

larry is a smart voter. and he is not even a republican.

[JRserver]

"Americans don't want to lose wars"

Every poll has shown that the majority of Americans view Iraq as a mistake and favored setting a timetable to withdrawal.

"Americans don't want their taxes raised" and "Americans don't want the government to take over health care"

Poll after poll after poll showed that two-thirds of Americans at MINIMUM supported the public option and were willing to pay higher taxes if it was necessary for it.

Sorry, Larry, The GOP does not define the term "Most Americans".

[TheOtherView]

Blitzer is a brain-washed fucktard racist. Essentially, hey Larry "forget the issues, just vote your race."

[GodAndtheRepublic]

Blacks are nothing more than criminals and animals.

Cage a Negro now drives should be created.

[tsyu7]

LOL and YAWN!!!

[GodAndtheRepublic]

The truth is that boring to you?

Stupid...

[tsyu7]

YAWN!!!!

[GodAndtheRepublic]

What I do when Obama says the same bullshit over and over again.

[homer091]

either way america is going to retreat the only diffrence is the conservatives would use propaganda to make it look like a victory

[GodAndtheRepublic]

@homer091 \

Racist propaganda is used by liberals All The Time.

[homer091]

@GodAndtheRepublic

noted, but not relative to what i said.

[GodAndtheRepublic]

hey moron

[homer091]

.... what?

[1vdn992]

It is Better to Give Than to Recieve, Unless You're a Negro

Misery Loves Company, The Negro's Creed

[TheIanAlmond]

Larry Elder is the man!

[BallinNQnz]

Larry Elder is a self hating uncle tom who also supports imperialism.

[zaggy3110]

No, Obama is Uncle Tom. A marionette of the criminal wall street gang and marionette of corporate America. Obama is not ONE BIT DIFFERENT than Bush. He only makes a better show than Bush - as long as there are enough teleprompter

[BallinNQnz]

I understand Obama has to listen to illuminati b.c he will die if he dont. But Obama is doing things quite differently than Bush. He is willin to meet with Chavez and Ahmadinejad. Bush would never do that.

[nxtITPRO]

You're 100% correct he is self hating. United States no longer a racist country? Larry Elders is so delusional.

[BallinNQnz]

Larry Elder has some points I agree with but I think sometimes he tries to appeal to white people. He also supports racial profiling and looks to justify police brutality. He also supports american imperialism.

Also, calling someone an Uncle Tom is not a compliment. It is an insult. When Larry Elder was once called that on his show, he and the audience took it as disrespect.

[tsyu7]

I got it.....Uncle Ruckus (no relation) is based on an old, crotchety Larry Elder.

[GodAndtheRepublic]

@tsyu7

That made NO sense. What are you, an idiot?

[tsyu7]

@GodAndtheRepublic

Ahhh...the overtly insulting sentiments of a coward that would not have responded that way had we been face to face. Keep it up. You and the like are soooo entertaining!

[DEADHEROS81]

Larry Elder is a white man in black make-up.

[mayhemlee]

You're a moron and a racist, obviously.

[redskins2k]

he is a uncle tom fool. its in his blood. his mom is probaly white. And he wants to be accepted by white people.

He was on cnn saying its right for blacks to be stopped without warning because we commit most of the crimes.

these fools grow up in the ghetto and hate blacks for what they went through

[mayhemlee]

1. no his mom isn't white and he's from South Central where his parents had a business.

2. No he was saying that DWB is a bullshit argument b/c blacks commit more drug crime than whites, check the FBI statistics, it's fact.

3. he doesn't hate blacks. he hates their attitude and wishes they'd stop holding themselves back by children having children. when black men stop having children they can't afford, problems will be solved.

thanks for coming redskins, you just got OWNED!

[DatVillain83]

Wolf Blitzer is basically saying, "Obama is black, you're black, why don't you vote for him, you're the same race....my logic is impeccable."

Wolf's monolithic view of Black Americans is pretty insulting.

[KinglyNumbaOne]

It is pretty insulting, but quite frankly, a lot of Black Americans do in fact think that way, minus a few like Elder, who prefer to look at policies rather than the color of someone's skin, when casting their vote.

I agree with everything Elder said in this clip. Racism is still around, but it is no longer a major problem in America. There is no "Man" keeping the black race down -- and the arguments of race baiters like Sharpton have been invalidated.

[A86]

I looked at Obama's policies and I voted for him on that. I don't vote Republican because I don't agree with several parts of their ideology.

[mayhemlee]

You looked at Obama and said "Oh yes, let government run my life from cradle to grave" "i want the dirty rich to get stuck" "i want to be ruled by a socialist agenda"

He's weakening our military, he's weakened our economy (unemployment is UP! 3% higher than they promised on campaign) and he's out there playing race politics with his buddy from Harvard.

can you say FAILURE?

[DEADHEROS81]

I hope all you anger towards Obama gives you a big fuckin stroke or heart attack.

[A86]

Hahaha, that's not what I thought at all. I looked at Obama and said "Well, he's not what I would have wanted but he's better than these other idiots in this election. I guess I'll have to choose the lesser evil once again. Damn." Who is this mythological small government conservative that Republicans keep talking about? It certainly wasn't George W. Bush who expanded the government far beyond what Clinton did, or H.W. Bush, or Ronald Reagan. The last "small government" conservative was Harding.

[A86]

Weakened the economy? That was Bush who brought us the wonderful 2001 recession and the 2008 recession. H.W. Bush brought us the 1991 recession. Reagan brought us the 1982 recession (worst one since the Great Depression) and the 1987 recession. There was a boom under Clinton. The economy is recovering right now as we speak.

[pharaoh337]

@DatVillain83, yes, that's exactly what I was thinking.

[queenepstein]

I think Larry Elder should of ran for president.

[TheIanAlmond]

I think so too.

[Sgant2nd]

@queenepstein

???

[mikegillenwater]

@queenepstein should HAVE, not should OF. Sorry, I hate to do that on you tube. But I thought you needed to know.

[Solowizard]

@queenepstein - LOL! And he probably would have gotten 13% of the American votes.

[Fame1000]

FUCK YOU UNCLE LARRY! Obama is your President. I hate a Stupid Black Man. boohoo I don't want my taxes raised.

[Sinnerswing]

Its a disgrace in 2009 we still have ignorant fellow black people who can't take some criticism towards the black community. Barack Obama has done it plenty of times in regards to black fathers and the high number of pregnancies by black women. Jessie Jackson got all hurt and blamed Obama for talking down to black people. White people criticism other whites all the time. Thats how it should be but for some reason we have old ass Negros who can't take positives criticism to improve ourselves.

[aromeo2luv2]

the only thing left for John Elder to say is "yes masta". He is like the house slave that thinks he is white. I pity uncle toms like him.

[jd24717]

No, you're a house slave to the poverty pimps of the Democratic party.

[techno370]

f%$^ elder jc watts and the rest of the black republican fools. they should do the rest of us a favor and go lay down on the nearest train tracks and wait for that speeding locomotive...

[techno370]

you would have to be a real black person to understand that jackass....

[techno370]

any dark person that supports george bush is a stupid ass period. notice i said dark because by your definition all dark people are black...

[techno370]

whining. lol. hello stupid you are still texting. you must be a jaun williams type. i suggest you go join them on the train tracks.

[techno370]

no not die just go jump off the highest bridge you can find.

[Sinnerswing]

As a black man, I may not always agree 100% with Larry Elder but the man does tell the truth on so many issues. Unfortunatley some of my black brother's are threaten by what Larry Elder, has to say. A similair situation is what we had earlier this year with Barack Obama's statements on the large number of single households & poor parenting in the black community. He too was speaking the truth but Jessie jackson was so upset with him because he thought Obama was talking down to blacks

[grand0ldparty]

Larry Elder is GREAT!!! I've read 3 of his books. As a minority it's great to find a man who hasn't been brainwashed by the liberal agenda and black race baiters that tells black people they are supposed to blame the government (or Bush) for all their problems YET rely and depend on the SAME government to save them and bring them prosperity.

[hagnuj]

Businesses need to pay their fair share of taxes. People who don't own businesses pay the BULK of the taxes in this country(FACT)

Larry Elder is another Michelle Malkin crony that will say anything to oppose Black people to make money. He's a sorry excuse.

[techno370]

i agree jd24717 is a bootlicker or in his terms agree with the larry elder jaun williams garbage. if you can't see through these fools its time to get glasses..

[vizbit]

Larry, you come across as this major intellectual yet you backed a "so-called quite brilliant governor"/airhead.

Blame the move across The Pacific that sucks every ounce of one's intelligence,

The Bering Strait, the downward shift northwest to east....who knows ?

Now, the winner is: "PTSD", in her case, self-inflicted. Did party loyalty cause a man of your "calibre" and others to toss all reasoning to the wind ? Bitterness, perhaps ? Fear of backing a winner/yourself (maybe) ?

[Fame1000]

Larry, He didn't need your vote. We made history and you wasn't part of it. So don't speak for America because you were wrong. America has spoken Obama Is the President. Don't you feel Stupid Black Man.

[merikan]

this guy is not for blacks or whites... he just cares about making money... his next book... This Stupid Black President ... Mark my words ...

[Malocosa]

Larry Elder supports Bush's failed Iraq War policy. He NEVER questions Bush's failed economic policies including his latest push for the Wall Street Bailout package.

[JerezJulio]

Larry elder is still thinking he is a house negro slave, he speack liek a man that is still hunted by a slave pass.

Man Larry, It has been 200 years since slavery, and 50 years since the civil right movement, you do not need to be a House Negro no more.

[techno370]

lol

[RumbleHD]

"White racism is no longer a factor"? What shit is he smoking?

[roscoegino]

he didn't say it correctly. what he should've said is that racism is not as BIG a factor as it once was.

[SpartanRivalry]

I've got GREAT NEWS for Larry Elder and others like him!

When Barack Obama becomes President, he won't prevent Larry Elder from denouncing his citizenship and seeking refuge in another country.

[kalelthaone]

Larry Elder is a fucking HOUSE NIGGER. HE was the one telling on runaway slaves back in the day, this sack of shit is a Klansmen's dream, and they'll still hang his black ass. Fuckin idiot, if I catch this nigga on the streets I'm hittin this faggot with an aluminum bat in the mouth.

[RG2124]

Elder is one of those rare pundits with an understanding of Econ 101. Most who go into journalism just don't have the math aptitude for it. I know he's a lawyer, but I'd bet money that he took econ as an undergrad and did well at it.

[JALUVRAS363]

Elder is not only a charlatan but also a shrewd businessman, pandering and patronizing the majority to sell books.

[Deeber65]

Larry Elder is so awesome!!!

[trencher7]

Elders is awesome. I am surprised CNN let him speak so long.

[shawninpgh]

Larry your a nice guy, I would even let you drink from a glass in my house. Maybe some day you can invite me over. Can I bring my black friends? Some of them are angry. Who knew? We can tell them it's okay. Maybe it will go away if you ignore it. We can try maybe a "pray the gay away" technique on them. (The answer is here. "Obama""Obama") If he's elected the racism is gone. HELLO? Maybe you should support him to prove your point. If you see yourself in him,it's even okay to like yourself.

[stayfresh06]

This guy is honesty delusional...I don't believe that Barack Obama will do anything detrimental to the US regarding the war...I mean he only gives half of the story.

[Romovisque]

you have to do history searches on this guy - what is he all about - Larry Elder is a strange man

[tweetie35]

what is wrong with this guy ...NOTHING HE SAYING MAKING ANY SENCE...I WONDER WHAT michael eric dycen take on this guy

[SothoSojen]

someone kill this nigger that think he's white! He will never be like the great white man. UGLY PIECE OF SHIT FAKE NIGGER. AT LEAST REAL NIGGERS ACT LIKE NIGGERS....WHATS BAD IS WHEN YOU HAVE A NIGGER WHO DON'T KNOW HIS PLACE!

[kevinthe1st]

"americans don't want to lose the war". "americans don't want their taxes raised". what happened to support the troops?

[atl404shawty04]

Someone should slap the shit out of this guy. He is an Uncle Rukus. All the shit he writes in his books and says on tv proves that he doesn't like black people. I personally think he has forgetten what color he is and to say that racism doesn't exist anymore is stupidity. He needs to bring his ass south to where I am....let's see if he will be singing that same song.

[jjjessijess2]

What an Uncle Tom!!!!

SAD!!!

[luminousoul]

We have another big mouth, washed-up house negro.

[pitbull103]

Larry is 100% correct.

[IAMSHAK]

larry elder is 100% wrong

1. White racism isnt over

2. War isnt making us safe

and a lot more

[darklegionnaire13]

I might be able to disprove both your points with two sentences.

1. Barack Obama's nomination proves white racism is no longer a problem in America.

2. We haven't had another terrorist attack since 9/11.

And please take the time to seriously consider my points. Don't just write them off and reply with a partisan, emotional resopnse. Just because we disagree doesn't mean we can't be civil.

[kevinthe1st]

in response to your statements, one could argue that:

1.Barack Obama's nomination proves that neo-cons have screwed this nation so bad that even white racist will choose him.

2.the Saudis who carried out the attacks needed to wait until they were sure that the heads of the federal government were incompetent enough to make all the wrong decisions in the aftermath of the attacks .Now with our liberties ,& freedoms under attack from here at home ,their mission has been accomplished.

[darklegionnaire13]

Your first point made absolutely no sense to me.

The first part of your second point made no sense to me either. However, I must ask how do you think our civil liberties have diminished?

[merikan]

this guy is too funny. he takes a situation and extracts few points that will help his argument. Here is one great example. He says "oil companies are making about the same profit as part of their net income as any other major company in other industries." What he fails to state that oil companies do this quarter after quarter, year after year. They done have flat or down years. Larry, show me another company that has had such a success year after year. You keep saying software .IBM ???

[jerico84]

Larry Elder has intelligent views on economics, he's not a racist. But he's a complete retard on foreign policy and for that libertarians and any other reasonable people should shut this guy down. "After September 11, ... this country took another look at Saddam and his failure to declare WMD. We knew he had them.", he then goes on to praise the effect it's had on Iraq. Larry Elder you are a moron Iran was emboldend by their new found power in the middle east look at what they're doing now.

[mayhemlee]

Larry Elder is a voice of reason in America....he's a brilliant guy....and i like anyone whose willing to stand tall in the face of criticism and swim up stream, i like strong people.....larry is one of them....if more black people looked up to Larry there would be more successful black people, imagine that!

[bennyh12345]

Obama belonged to a racist church for 20 years.

[hagnuj]

Sunday is the most segregated day in America. For a long time now. Don't be stupid. One speech that you don't like has nothing to do with racism. Racism is POWER- control,maintain status quo, exclude etc. Rev. Wright doesn't have that power. Listen to the whole speech chicken.

t

[bkpowerr]

House negro

[smooth1nz]

what the hell did katrina have to do with race bloodpsort?

[SylviaNCali]

He was NOT putting down Blacks in that video. I agree with most of what he said. He's free to have his own opinions and I don't think he should be faulted for that. He gave Obama props, but politically just doesn't agree with him. I don't see the big issue in this video at all.

[choctown2001]

Letter to Mr. Elder.

I will make it my mission to shut you down personally...

We have had enough of you blatant slants against the black man and the black community to keep your pockets full...You are a very smart man to use white America the way you do...However, my young daughter doesn't quite understand your plight and goal in life and why you say such derogatory things about people that look like her...

You are a disgrace and a place in hell is yours when this is all over...

Enjoy.

[unknownunknowns]

What are the "blatant slants" are you talking about? I'd like to know how have blacks improved under the Democrats currently. I think Elder has made a great point that the reason why Obama has been more successful than his "buddies", Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson, is because he doesn't blame whites, something black should stop doing.

[choctown2001]

You obviously don't know Larry Elder and have never listened to him anymore than this little clip...That should be enough truthfully...What blacks blamed you?

Why do you make such a statement? Can you verify and justify this statement that blacks blame whites? You watch too much cable TV news and listen to too much talk radio...

[choctown2001]

You obviously don't know Larry Elder and have never listened to him anymore than this little clip...That should be enough truthfully...What blacks blamed you?

Why do you make such a statement? Can you verify and justify this statement that blacks blame whites? You watch too much cable TV news and listen to too much talk radio...

[choctown2001]

The problem I have with this clown and the other 3 or 4 like him is that he feels he has to put black people down to make his point...He can be a right wing conservative all he wants...That's the beauty of this country...But, there's is no need to tear others down...Notice how types like him disappear when the entire country is honoring a great man like Dr. King today...That goes against their agenda. Why is that? He wouldn't even be able to sit on that seat at FOX NEWS if it weren't for King.

[unknownunknowns]

I'm not sure how not knowing Larry Elder and listening to "too much talk radio" goes together but I do listen to him, just not that much. So how is he putting down black down to make his point?

[choctown2001]

Again, you don't know him or listen to him very much. So my statements and criticisms of him may escape you...Sorry.

[choctown2001]

Obama is from a different era...He's only 46yrs old for goodness sake. I still think he is a rare find in a politician...Still, he carries very little of the baggage of those you mentioned like Sharpton and Jackson...He knows nothing about "Colored Only" signs and lines...He also does not carry the deep hurt and embedded images of hatred and bigotry that they carry...Maybe that's a good thing---for a presidential candidate, at least...We'll see.

[unknownunknowns]

You still haven't asnwered my question of how Larry is putting down blacks. You mentioned about Obama not knowing the "plight" of blacks. OK, so how did the blacks get into this condition. In what way is there still "hatred" and "bigotry" that blacks still carry. Why is it that blacks still commit half of the crimes in the country?

[choctown2001]

My dear sir, you are truly misinformed if you think blacks commit half of the crimes in this country. This is dangerously false. You hear more about black crime, that's all. This is a discussion with which you and I would need a weekend to sit down and chat. It can't be handled on this site in a few words. You are truly misinformed and a bit naive about our beloved country, with all due respect.

[unknownunknowns]

OK, so maybe I'm a bit naive but you haven't exactly told me where Larry is wrong. Maybe, it will take much discussing but why is it that test scores for blacks, as a whole, is lower than whites and Asians? Why is it that blacks were the ones who were mainly the refugees in that "chocolate city"? I probably haven't been quite observant as you claim but I've heard talks and, perhaps, stereotypes on them. BTW, how have Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton made the lives of blacks much better?

[choctown2001]

Blacks have been systematically denied certain rights and privileges available to others for many years. Blacks are just catching up now in many areas. The American dream was denied to many blacks over the years...Just think, Dr. King was killed just 40yrs ago. We're not talking about slavery times. Dr. Jackson and Sharpton are doing the best they can, but they are no Dr. King. I applaude their efforts, however. I can answer every question you have with facts, but this is not the forum to do so.

[unknownunknowns]

"Dr. Jackson and Sharpton are doing the best they can, but they are no Dr. King."

You don't have to give me a page, just tell me what they did, after 1990.

"Blacks have been systematically denied certain rights and privileges available to others for many years."

You don't have to be long but what rights have they been denied?

[Bloodsport1]

Why do everybody favorite youtube phrase is "He is from a different era". Racism is still alive its just much more subtle now. Now you have your own people who dont like you based on your skin, how dark or light your skin is, how straight or nappy your hair, how you speak,etc. Blacks still get shot by cops for nothing. Have you forgotten about Katrina already? If that was Hollywood do you think the gov't would take 4 days before responding.

[unknownunknowns]

What are the "blatant slants" are you talking about? I'd like to know how have blacks improved under the Democrats currently. I think Elder has made a great point that the reason why Obama has been more successful than his "buddies", Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson, is because he doesn't blame whites, something black should stop doing.

[darkhero02]

fuck larry elder

[unleashed28119]

Fuck Larry Elder!!!!!

[sombranegra23]

stop bitching, I support blacks who go about their business and conplain about how racist America is. I think that if you don't make any moral mistakes, go to school you'll be successful in America. Now latinos are bitching about racism too. Katrina? don't blame the Bush administration entirely. Blame those idiots who run Louisiana, the mayor the governor, everybody there.. The federal government should be the last resort. We as Americans should lookout for number one and No.2 Stop the hate

[blakebradyn]

Hurricane Katrina was of nobodys fault but the idiots who were told to get the fuck out of tow nbefore hand and didnt, im sure they said fuckit big government will come save us..typical mentallity

[alfathree]

do you motherfuckers ever read? of course there were people dumb enough to stay behind after being warned to evacuate, but there were also people who had nowhere to go as well as no means to go, along with those who were turned around by police at the boarder in Mississippi. They were all smart enough to realze that the federal government would save their asses after all the years of handing down policies that helped keep them in poverty

[BlaqueMouse]

Larry who is a wealthy successful black who forgets that there are frequent "incidents," as he calls them, that still show there is still racism in America such cases are the Jena Six, and how hurricane Katrina was handled. It's ridiculous that he would make such claims, when the leading republican nominees skipped out on the debate at a historical black college, hosted by an eloquent black man, Tavis Smiley, who has his own self-titled show on PBS. Why would they skip out,...Ask Kanye West

[bluecafe22]

Oh please... Jeezus christ, give it a rest!

[alfathree]

I see you made it to this forum to bug the shit out of people smart enough to know what a dumb assed, buck dancing, shuffle footed, step and fetch it Larry Elder is. I guess he gets his scooby snacks from you like the obsequious lap dog he is for you racist motherfuckers.

[WryTwingR]

It's foul-mouthed racists like you who cause comments to be disabled. Larry is literate and vocal- you are just vocal. Get a room w. David Duke, 'cause you are every bit the racist he is. and to people on every side of issues who use the "f" bomb- grow up, already!

[alfathree]

fuck you too WryTwingR, you should feel stupid for using a word like racist without understanding how its applied and who its applied to. Assholes like you are happy as hell to find a handful of dumb assed black people who agree with you so you can use them to justify socially, economicly and politically oppressing the rest of black America or those you've named minorities. so talk your bullshit walking. Any white person that calls him or herself a conservative is a racist by default anyway.

[blakkbandit22]

Amen. You'd be surprised (or maybe you wouldn't) the number of idiots who believe that blacks just don't want to succeed and are using racism as an excuse and just don't realize there are many who are trying to get the top and are facing barriers.

[shalamar2k2]

If you still don't believe it, just watch the movie "Mississippi Burning" and listen to the story Anderson tells about his father.

[CultureWar77]

Very well said Mr. Elder. It's a shame that the same people who cry about racism in America, are the people who refer to blacks who vote republican as "uncle toms". Martin Luther King Jr. would be turning over in his grave if he knew what was going on in the world today.

[alfathree]

hey, fuck you CultureWar, how dare you even soil the memory and legacy of Dr. King with that bullshit comment. It was Motherfuckers like you who called him communist and wished for his death. I guess he'd be proud of you for generalizing black people the way you just did, Fuck you. people like you couldn't understand the man and you still refuse to understand him.
