  • I applied for multiple scholarships while going to college and was turned down for all of them and in one case was told it was because I was not black or a woman or from a broken family. Yet I worked my butt off, joined the military to pay my college debt and now make over 100 k per year in the civilian sector. But now I am being told that I need to pay out of my taxes for that same ethnic man or women that received the scholarship that I did not. Tell me how this is right.

  • fuck the media

  • WHAT!! there going to take my job and my "spot" at school!! lol

  • In the future leave out the f-em! part. Your lowering yourself to their level.

  • "Our level"? I don't think so. That's why us liberals are so wimpy! We always take the high road when we should be rippin Reporklican guts out!

  • And you are a complete moron. Go to Hell.

  • Some people (blacks) are trapped in poverty because in the past their ancestors weren't allowed to an education. An uneducated parent can't get a good job, and without a good job you don't get paid. Without money, the kids can't get an education to have a good job for themselves, therefore they're stuck in poverty for generations. Liberals understand that minorities are still recovering and will be for the next 100 years from this. Obama wants to speed it up with that "oh so spooky socialism".

  • Dont give me that bs. my mom dropped out of hs, never got her ged and makes 40k a year so dont give me that bs. if you work hard you will make money.

  • Of course there are exceptions here and there. We're talking about the masses, millions of people who can't pay tuition so they can only depend on sports or the arts.

    If anyone can just shit on an education and still be successful in the U.S., then what's the point of school? To waste time? How about YOU don't give me that BS about "my mom or my cousin or my grandma went from rags to riches without an education". It can happen, but it's not consistent enough to rely on.

  • The media has given you president Bush and the Iraq war, by not doing their job. Once more the media is feeding you with fear, fear for "unpatriotic" Obama. Maybe by november you've been groomed enough to vote for McCain. Keep up the good work Cenk!

  • nice talk bros , keep up the good work

  • Amen my Turkish brother

  • Whew! Finally someone who gets it! thanks for the breath of fresh air.

  • The government is involved in a HUGE multibillion dollar campaign of embedding military people who support the war and the military industrial complex into EVERY MAINSTREAM MEDIA CHANNEL!

    This is a much bigger issue.

    The propoganda train should be derailed before we try complaining of media helping one party over another.

  • Think for example. In the 16th century we were able to invade and colonize a country. In the 20th and 21st century, we are able to invade and colonize a country. The pic change but the method doesn't. However, in the 16th century those countries didn't have nuclear weapons. Now they do. That's what dangerous. We can't continue the same policies when the stakes are now higher, and the threat is real. We need to stop messing w/ people in other countries. Even Europe is withdrawing troops.

  • Let's see now, hmmm, the 16th century, that would be the 1500's, have we been a nation for that long? Perhaps all those a's I got in history were part of the dumbing down of america. Maybe I'm just stupid. Or, could it be that you are?

  • This was a response to sambrown80, stating that we invaded and colinized a country in the 16th century.

  • The Govt doesn't = white people. It's as if Blks are not true Americans so if we criticize the govt, we hate white people. But if white people criticize the govt, they're just radical. I have just as much right to criticize the govt w/out being labeled as anti-white. and the govt's behavior whether internatl. or natl has not changed it's policies. There were always blks doing well, even in slavery. It doesn't mean that the govt is diff. The prob. looks diff.

  • Blacks do not blame whites. Blacks blame the govt. I don't know what you guys don't understand. THE GOVT. THE GOVT'S POLICIES. The govt use to colonize other countries. Do you consider us colonizing Iraq. I know we want to look at both sides. But the blk community and the rest of the world have onethought about GOVT policies, and some whites andother silly minorities are living in another world. The U.S. has a debt,our children can say well I didn't run up the debt but they willpay4it.

  • you have so much to say so people can see my say

    America PROOF MUST WATCH watch?v=iMQboMD8Io4 ...... watch?v=-kUQ-CNi360

    before it is far too late...please watch and kill this in its tracks...

  • i think the democrats do more for the republican party than anybody.

  • defending this man. I have had the same thing done to me. I have had someone help me to get to a position that I wanted to be in, then when I surpass the position of the person who helped me, they began to spread lies to try and discredit me. Even though the lies had no measure of truth in it. I see that Rev. Wright is doing the same thing and it saddens me but I see it constantly. Please do not think Obama and Wright are one and the same. They come from two different generations.

  • from a white politician on the 70's or 80's. He just repeated from another person the principle that all who study the bible knows. An eye for an eye. We have done some horrible things in the world to enrich the wealth of a few. then we adopt the attitude "how dare they attack us even though we attacked them first". How realistic is this thought. You hit someone, more than not they will hit you back. that is common sense. You have to expect retaliation. After recent events, I am done...

  • he considered a good friend and a mentor to. I consider my pastor someone who I can take advice from. but I don't know what is in his heart. I have take him at face value. But if he started to do the things that Rev. Wright has done recently, then I would leave the church. That goes to show that even our spiritual leaders are not above the temptations of the world. Now it is unfair how the news has portray rev. Wright by taking soundbites. "Chickens have come home to roost" that was a direct...

  • Now the message should not get lost in the confusion. No with all that said, what Rev. Wright has done is what many black people complain about in regards to other blacks, help him get to the top, then try to pull him back down when he surpasses you. I was a defender of REv. Wright, and to some degree I still am because his arguments are correct. but when I see him enjoy himself with all the attention he has been getting, it sickens me. I cannot believe this man would do this to someone he ...

  • I never heard or saw Rev.Wright enjoy the

    attention the media gave him. This reminds me what they did to Martin and Malcolm.

  • Even though Rev Wright has been damaging to Obama, if you listen to everything he said, he not only made valid points, but he had evidence to support his claims. in discussing linguistics, he was right when he said that black speech was considered bad english. I took a few linguistic classes in college and the one thing that was point out is that no american speaks proper english. Each region of the country has their own dialects.i will continue...

  • ThankYou.

  • I support Obama, but Wright is a cook if not absolutely disloyal. Obama should repudiate him immediately.

  • as a big TYT fan, i'd like to say that that moment was unusually wonderful.

  • Yep, the corporate media is again doing the dirty work for the Republicans. Just as they did with the swiftboating of John Kerry.

    I really hate those f*cking hypocrites.

  • Lol I've been noticing that. Before the Pennsylvania Primaries....it was the Media reiterating "Obama's not going to get the white vote because of this Pastor situation." And yeah I agree, Affirmative Action needs to be more economically focused than race. However, then all of the middle class and upper class of society will probably claim that the lower class of society puts in less work effort than them yet has more rights but I'd rather them say that, than blaming Black citizens.
