[puncho33]

fuck dick gregory!!!

[mooncooninc83]

If anyone's interested, you can listen to Dick Gregory's interview on The C.O.W.S. were he discussed his views about the global system of racism/White supremacy. You can go to talkshoe.com to listen to the show.

[kmcl11]

WOw never heard anyone diss Flip Wilson. But the point Dick made was good.

[NICKEYBLACK35]

i love this video clip

[laurasIs2c]

Every Sunday there are plenty of White preachers putting down the American way in various ways and non of them taking the media twisting and punishment the way Jeremiah Wright endured. The good news is that he did and will continue to endure.

[narcissusnostalgia]

this BETTER be gods with a small g, we are not gods at all.

[arnibah]

@narcissusnostalgia We are the same God in potential that Jesus became.

[OurLordLennon]

Given the area Our Savior & His People, THE Israelites, Abraham, Moses, lived in, they had to be dark skinned people....FACTS are facts! I'm of Irish decent & know, have been taught this for as long as I can remember....IF you know & LOVE The Word of OUR Creator THIS DOES NOT MATTER! WHAT matters IS we are all brothers & sisters....and have survived oppression for centuries w/ OUR Faith in tact! Praise Be! But evil has covered this Earth esp. now AND this WE MUST OVERCOME....TOGETHER!

[hueb1]

Do you really believe that in the eyes of God, the color of the man he created meant anything to him? Black or White was not made to be first in the mind of God. The Creation of life was, and so was man made in the image of him who's spirit dwells in the heart and soul of every man. God is not made of flesh, but spirit, the light of eternal mind.

[arnibah]

@hueb1 We didn't think about color until the racist made color a big deal.

[hueb1]

@arnibah Racist see only one color, don't let them blind you with there hate and one sided thinking. We must not lower our self's to there ways. But follow the teaching of our Lord Jesus Christ " Love one another " that's not just a quote but a mandate to us if we are to follow his foots steps.

May the hand of God with you and your family.....

[arnibah]

@hueb1 Racist see all of the colors and think their color is better because it's lighter than the rest of the colors.There was no racism before them.Telling the truth about them doesn't make 1 racist.The victims of racism must know the truth about them in order to be free.Know the truth and it will set you free.The racist has watered down the teachings of Christ and fed it to it's victims.So the victim must reject the European interpretation of what Jesus taught because it is false.PEACE

[hueb1]

@arnibah Let me put it in this way, Don't see though the eyes of a color blind man, cause you might find yourself crossing a red light. In other words, " Let your heart guide you and your God given wisdom to be one step ahead of those who wish to hurt and condemn you.... I know that Jesus himself was hated for being a Jew. But you never heard him worry about what they said about him nor did he waste his time with them. We must do the same. May the hand of God be with you. Peace my friend.

[CLIETWILBURN]

People that talk about blacks hating whites, it's just the hate that's been provided by yal reciprocated and multiplied by more. It's just like that the white man has been extremely violent to other races, and the Bible says God hates them who love violence.

[mtross70]

@CLIETWILBURN is that why God has blessed us above all?

[mtross70]

because a vast majority of people condemned to death in the US are convicted murderers Jesus wasn't a killer or a murderer.

[InfiniteMushroom]

Black folk, if they're left alone in their homelands, have shown examples of great civilization. The Mali Empire of the 13th through the 16th century comes to mind. Civilization is more than architectural achievements. It is an organic solidarity and comprehensive culture that is able to feed, clothe, protect, educate, trade, and still have plenty left over for the arts and religion.

Colonialism, the Jew-financed slave trade, and imperialism have been constant sources of disruption ever since.

[omosoupea]

This is a very powerful video that some people can't handle it and very glad you have put it on here because some people need to know what is really going on out here in the land of the free

[leocook67]

a jew is isreal--yet was,nt no white people in isreal---

[mtross70]

@leocook67 not true. im italian and 65% of my DNA comes from the middle east. so that means we were there. and Im a white man

[NebHu]

The bible is allegorical, therefore Jesus never existed physically.  It represented a mythological story paraphrased from Kemet aka Ancient Egypt about the holy father Ausar and goddess mother Auset and the immaculate conception Heru who was the anointed one. When the spiritual energy arises from the base of the spine and rises to the crown one is then anointed spiritually.

[schaelakhan]

It doesn't matter if Yashua(Jesus) was black or not. He would still be Jewish and he would still be Jesus.

[hemigod2]

ahhhh men , (listen do you hear the resonation in that ? let me do it again) AAAAH MEN

[1blueblack]

It do matter what color Jesus was! That is why white people put an white face on Jesus!!!!

[schaelakhan]

If God is real then why would you try to limit him to you would have him be. Yashua came as a sacrifice for all men. No exception, from king to slave and all inbetween.

[mtross70]

@1blueblack he was caucasian. most people in the middle east are still caucasian.

[10jaseera]

@1blueblack yeah exacly y would they kill jesus if he can preform mircles

because he was black and they didn't like that

i guess

[hueb1]

@10jaseera There is no proof that Jesus was black nor White. It was not the intention of Jesus death to proof he was crucified because of his color. People your making his sacrifice was racial intent. Jesus die for our sins and to say other wise, is to make a mockery of his sacrifice...

[bizit0921]

wrong wrong wrong 100% wrong!!!

[Barackification]

Rev. Wright is right. This is the USA of the KKK!

[OctoBox]

If by KKK you mean Ignorant-Inbred-Collectivist -- then yeah.

[rdsweet]

See the problem with that statement is not rather he was right or wrong, but he was not the author of that statement. You have to listen to the entire speech to know he was quoting someone.

[tragicityboy]

O.G be keepin shitt 100 all yall stop hatin because if. just if yashua came back and he is black that would be devastating to white people how many would bow if truth be told if a black man said he was jesus what do you seriously think would happen to him. think its not illegal to think outside the box let the anger towards me go tellin the truth and then think

[omegaguitars]

Jesus wasn't black....He was a Jew you idiot. A Jew, just like those who Jeremiah Wright and other ignorant racist blacks are prejudiced against.

[WHYNotNews]

I am just stopping by to thank those posting comments in a Civil and intelligent Manner. This is uncommon,as I embrace topics that anger some.

Also Please come visit our YT site for a look at Katrina, Gaza... and beyond

[MegaIntegrity]

Amen !

[msscott73]

I agree, but some many are hurt and offended because they don't understand the culture or context and the reality of different peoples. Jeremiah Wright is held as "the racist and angry black man". It is easier for them to say that than saying his points were valid and originated from other people. It is also easier for some to see Dick as a racist, crazy, old black man than to see his firm grip on reality. He has participated in causes for social justice for longer than most have been alive.

[mtross70]

@msscott73 he definately hates whites. as long as he's among whites he wont starve and die of disease. he should be thankful he doesn't live in zimbabwe.

[sovern009]

@WHYNotNews We are in your debt... Thank you

[tragicityboy]

Only white people start talking that it don't matter if YASHUA was black or white when they start hearing facts that he was / is black .HOTEP black people

[fruitsofescapism]

everybody arguing whether jesus was black or was white where in fact the only thing that really matters is whether the nigguh was right!

reflect on that.

[robi2000]

Maybe if D.Gregory's daughter was raped and buried alive he'd be for capital punishment.

[gltrp]

i agree with Pastorlblis

[datkidceddy]

1. speak english 2. how can some1 who broke out the asylum become a preacher?

[PastorIblis]

Both God and the Devil are man made delusions designed to keep you willing to be SLAVES!

NEITHER OFFER FREEWILL!

BOTH ARE ABOUT OWNING YOU!

AND BLACK PEOPLE EMBRACE A GOD THAT SAYS YOU ARE MY SLAVE OR I'LL BURN YOU IN FIRE!

WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU???

[kidincandystore]

u misinterpret scripture.read for understanding.

[baikinmon]

God is real. The Devil is just something passing. AMEN!

[tradersfunding]

As I heard Min. Nuri of the Nation say once. When the Army want to protect soldiers in the jungle they give them camoflague fatigues, in the snow they give them white so they can blend in, in the desert they give them brown, at night they wear black. When Jesus mother wanted to hide him she went to Egypt (land of the burnt faces)to hide him amongst the people. Had he been white he would not have been camoflauged, he would've stuck out like a sore thumb.

[docbeepsjb]

Why does it matter whether he was black, white, purple, green or fuchsia? God is God for each person who believes, in whatever form he/she may see Him. If we act in His name, by His teachings, then why does it matter. There is NO line in any scripture that says that someone HAS to worship a "White God" or a "Black God." Like other misinterpretations, this comes from human ignorance and stupidity.

[ISayWhatWant]

Exactly. We were not saved by his skin color, but by the color of his blood. People need to get over this if he was black or white.

[andtwonfisher]

I love dick .. but you are right on this

[nishaboston]

If it didn't matter then Catholic and Christian Church would hang an accurate pictures of Jesus Christ...

[procommenter]

Hobo gone wild!

[sharperwon]

People are not our problem? We don't wrestle flesh and blood, but spiritual wickedness in high places. SATAN IS the enemy people...wake up...we'v been wanderign around in the wildreness for over 400 years. It's SATAN. Identify him and conquer!!!

[stlukemusic]

Dick is speaking tha truth and I luv It...1

[nathanyel7]

I like dick gregory "sign o the chair" LOL. Black people went into slavery for breaking God's commandments, come visit me if you want the whole truth!

[knightgdiamond]

how do u sound... so god doesn't condem the ppl who put them in slavery and gave them a free pass to do his bidding? Hate dies with love, and if you want to do something get a group a ppl to do it with you, not to help take over another group of ppl to do your bidding... Stoppin pickin @ shit and get the whole picture...

[jcp61874]

Cont...  Read up on neo-colonialism...that is essentially what the Jewish elite acted like in that time period. Also take another look at the Bible. Barrabus and Jesus were quite similar to each other and John the Baptist who essentially was guerilla organizer who lived off the land and fought against the Romans. The upper classes among the colonized Jews hated Jesus because he was a threat to their power. Rome called the shots and told the Jewish elite what to do and when to do it.

[jcp61874]

Goni27--- The Jewish population was colonized by the Roman Empire...The so-called Jewish leadership (i.e Herodians,Pharisees and Saducees et al.) had influence but their power relied upon their good standing with the Roman colonizers. The Jewish elite was given a little amount of power and influence because they were an effective buffer between the Jewish/Palestinian masses and the Romans. Jesus challenged all that and called upon the colonized to create their own kingdom on earth .

[goni27]

here's another newsflash for you all. Racism is a relitivly new development. In the days of the Roman empire, the romans had as many white slaves as there were black slaves. 1/3 of the roman populations were slaves, many of them Greek. The idea of predejudice based on color or race is a reletivly new development on the scale of human history. my advise to all people of color is to look at the big picture. better yourselves and change the social climate, and eventually we can move past racism

[ellsworth78]

who's talking about race!

[goni27]

hey i'm just trying to have a conversation about race. isn't that what obama said we should do?

[ellsworth78]

Obama? and what the hell has Clintons been doing? WOW!what about fairness and equality

[goni27]

what are you talking about?

[cjospdfjiod]

wrong. white supremacy dates back thousands of years ago in an effort to save the white race from extinction. Prejudice and racism are two completely different things. Racism is a system not a way of thinking; to be prejudice is to pre-judge a person or situation. Any man can be prejudice but the only people who have the ability to be racist are those in power. And we all know whos in power in this country...one must have the ability or power to oppress others.NEWSFLASH back @ya. read my friend

[goni27]

don't tell me I need to read, I'm a classics major and have studied history extensivly. White supremecy does not date back thousands of years, that is incorrect. During The classical era of history color meant nothing, what was important was one's heritage, if you were rich or poor. There were many nations that were prodomintaly black that were well respected, ethopia, carhrage. The Romans most likly had more White Greek slaves than they had black slaves. Color was not an issue.

[cjospdfjiod]

you've studied shit. your ignorance truly shows. True white supremacy has nothing to do with the KKK, they're just tools of the real supremists...used as a distraction. The purpose was to save the white race from extinction. A melanin-enriched gene is more dominant than melanin-deficeint, that's why a black and white child tends to look more "ethnic" than white...basic genetics. White supremacy began in an effort to keep whites from mixing with other races...eliminating the white race.

[goni27]

Jesus christ was crusified not by the romans but by his fellow jews. Pontius pilate gave the people a choice to pick Jesus or Barrabous, they chose Barrabous who was the equivalent of a extremist or a gangsta

[ellsworth78]

In the Roman Empire, the Romans arrested him and crucified him personally. Even though the Jews had there troubles with him and wanted him dead.

[goni27]

the Roman's only obeyed the will of the mob. that's democracy in action. I'm very familiar with the story, as i am a senior in classics and religious studies major. if jesus was black, as so many black preachers claim, than he was one of the earliest cases of black on black crime. IT wasn't The romans who had jesus arrested, it was the Jewish elders that claimed he was insighting violence against the state.

[ellsworth78]

Since when do you think the Romans gave a damn about what the jews thought in the Roman Empire. Egypt came before Christ goni there was alot of black on black crime there too. It was the Romans who arrested Jesus. I studied too.

[goni27]

It was the will of the people that killed christ. that's the point of the story, that christ can forgive even those who would have crucified him. pontius pilate washed his hands of the whole matter. By the way jesus wasn't black he was a jew.

[ellsworth78]

There are alot of points in the story! he also took the knife out of Peter's hand when Peter was trying to defend Christ from the Romans to show non violence. First you were talking about race now your talking about forgiveness this video is about the black church what's your point

[cjospdfjiod]

wow...so because he was a jew he couldnt have been black? I hope you know how ignorant that sounds. How about the fact he was born in africa, his feet were bronze and his hair was like wool. Civilization started in northern africa. Judaism is a religion not a race...very ignorant of you.

[goni27]

are you kidding, your calling me ignorant and you claim that civilazation started in africa. It started in the fertile cresent my friend which is in the middle east. Being jews can mean two things 1) you practice judaism 2)you identify with the jewish culture. But if you want to get technical Jesus was born an Israelite meaning he was most likly olive skin and not black. you should go back to school, read more get more education.

[cjospdfjiod]

WOW you really have been brainwashed. The "middle east" you speak of is northern africa and parts of asia. Since when did the middle east become a continent? Thats just another form of white supremacy...call it anything but what it is..AFRICA. Have you read the bible?Revelation 1:14--15 His head holy and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow...and his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace. Get a real education not a rewrite of history american schools taught you.

[goni27]

it is the accepted theory that civilzation started in the fertile cresent (think Iraq) which is the middle east. I will not discuss this furthur with you as it is apparent that you are uneducated and it is unlikly that you even have a GED

[cjospdfjiod]

ha. that's right ignore everything I said about the "middle east" being northern africa and parts of asia. how typical. you think that if you repeat something enough times that makes it true. I'll have you know I have a BA in marketing with 2 minors in history and philosophy along with several trade licenses/certifications.Its sad how "education" goes before actual knowledge in this country. Study/research history and you will see that most things you were taught in american schools was a lie.

[goni27]

so by your logic there are only what, 3 continents in the world. Seems how europe and asia, africa are all conected. The middle east is more a part of asia than it is africa, besides it's a entirely different ethnic group live than what lives in africa.

dont' know if you've ever seen one of these but this is a world map. You'll notice that the fertile cresent is located right were iraq is. you know what, why don't you go to school and tell people that Iraq is in africa. you dumb mother

[cjospdfjiod]

thats what I mean when I call you ignorant. Africa is a very diverse continent; you cant tell the difference b/w an egyptian and a nigerian? I suppose egpyt is in asia too?there are africans you wouldnt assume to be because of your brainwashed ignorance. When was the last time YOU looked at a map of the "middle east"? Every couple years they add more and more african&asian countries. Tell me, if it was an actual region, why do the boundaries keep expanding further into asia?

[goni27]

the oldest civilization is the Sumerians which was located in Iraq. which is in asia if you want to get technical

[cjospdfjiod]

WRONG AGAIN. the garden of eden was set in northeast africa. CIVILIZATION ALONG WITH EVERYTHING ELSE BEGAN WITH EGYPTIANS.

[marsCubed]

uneducated fool

[zosma905]

the differenc is about 100 years older than Egypt. so says my history book. Not sure if the book is being bias. This is the first of me hearing this. But there is so much misinformation, I dont know where to begin. But what I wont do is take it as the solid truth.

[fortruthandlove]

From my research I have learned the oldest dwelling of ancient mankind was in Ethiopia. Not Egypt nor Iraq, sorry. Look it up.

[cjospdfjiod]

wikepedia: "The term "Middle East" was popularized around 1900in the United Kingdom...Many have criticized the term Middle East for what they see as Eurocentrism because it was originally used by Europeans and reflects the geographical position of the region from a European perspective. It is also criticized due to the fact that the term today is often used to only refer to the Arab world, making the situation more confused...

[cjospdfjiod]

Egypt, with its Sinai Peninsula in Asia, is considered part of the Middle East, although most of the country lies geographically in North Africa." SO THERE YOU HAVE IT. Iraq is the only part of the "middle east"?!? you need an education. a REAL one.

[zosma905]

preach, lol Im in world history 101 now and Im learning about the middle east. this is so true.

[cjospdfjiod]

and while I have the accredidations this american society thinks makes you an educated person, remember...bill gates was considered to be "uneducated". the greatest historians had no piece of paper saying they spent $100,000 to go to a college, they had ACTUAL KNOWLEDGE OF THE SUBJECT. College students dont learn shit unless they're in the medical field. Its all a game. The most

[cjospdfjiod]

...usefull people in this world and the ones that made it through the depression were people with trades, not pieces of paper.

[069105]

i am sorry my frien but olives only comes in two color green and black there is no color that olive the world stated jet black the black race has 37 diffrent colours

[069105]

if the black race is the first people on the planet god created them in his own image then god and jesus and moses were all black if god the creator was white he would have made the first man and woman white and not black it doesnt take a geniuse to figure that out

[cjospdfjiod]

what????? thats not only makes NO sense WHAT SO EVER, but there isnt a point to ur comment....what the hell r u even attempting to say? (btw, jesus had hair like wool and bronze feet. God has no race)

[069105]

please show me a white man with hair of wool and feet of brass life started in africa the ancient hebrew isrealites of isreal were black people egypt is in africa so is isreal and the so-called middle east

[datkidceddy]

so god doesnt love white ppl then?

[jdpartist]

@069105 - Reread Revelation. It states that his hair was not white wool, but white LIKE wool, as white as the snow. The same verse says that out of his eyes spewed fire and his tongue was sharper than a two edged sword. I spent two months in Egypt and saw few black people. At the Museum of Cairo, I believe it was Rameses II had red hair like a white man and thin lips with a hooked nose. Artwork of both white & black egyptians are drawn on the walls. Look up some real history instead of racism.

[mtross70]

@069105 it says white as wool sir and feet as brass. it's describing christ on his second coming.which he will not be flesh at all. in short the scripture is describing a supernatural being coming to earth.

[0alstonw0]

@mtross70 Your mis quoting and doing all you can to obscure the truth! If you really are a student of scripture then you should be familiar with god causing leaprocy (turning the skin white) as a punishment throughout the Bible.

[mtross70]

truth to an idiot isn't truth it's bullshit.

[poolsclosedduetofail]

I'm sure such facts would have white people worried if they didn't have all the guns and the money..oh and if there was actually a God. Time to grow up, junior.

[jcp61874]

Dick Gregory. Always good to tell how it is. His books are even better. Hope I have half as much energy and spirit when and if I ever get to that age.
