  • Where the fuck is this coment i suposedly left here like 5 years ago, God its so annoying having people always commenting on this video in response to somthing I dont remember typing.

  • Comment removed

  • what do you call black people in africa. african american africans? lol just call them black people its not bad

  • @VhDVE damned correct

  • @VhDVE Are you being satirical?

  • @kablatcher

    Yes they were look up Carthage

  • Really, voting for a President just because of their skin color? That's simply ignorant and unintelligent of you; it's worse than when people show up to vote, unsure of the candidates' platform. If you're simply going to look at someone's skin color to determine if they're fit to lead an entire country, please stay at home.

  • @jarvisthebox blacks were not here longer than whites! What textbook are you reading?

  • at least most people know this is bullshit

  • RON PAUL 2012!!! <333 SAVE OUR NATION, SAVE OUR WORLD!

  • @FreedomFinder fuck u , face it whites are becoming less dominate in politics .OBAMA 2012 !!!!!!!!!!!1

  • @jarvisthebox Oh god you're playing the skin card... This is your nation and your loved ones' lives are on the line and you're Voting Obama because he's black... You should be ashamed to call yourself american.

  • @FreedomFinder say what u want because u do have the right, but u know u lying to yourself not to say that when you look at him in politics you weren't outraged or afraid . To play the skin card one more time i`ll always be more american than you you because if you look at statistics blacks were in america longer than the average white person, whether brought to this country by force without the freed /forced labor of my ancestors this country would be nothing as it is today.

  • @jarvisthebox - Doesn't make an appropriate President. Obama has failed almost twice as bad as Bush because their administration is one in the same. Don't say we didn't advise you.

  • @FreedomFinder plz give me some examples of how Obama failed as bad as Bush , Bush sent millions of Americans to their death in the middle of East ,trashed our economy, and won his elections from the Electorial Collge and not based on popular votes which should tell you something.Obama has killed the head of al-Queda and is repairing the economy Bush and the rest of the Rupublicians set out to destroy.

  • @jarvisthebox bush sen't thousands to die. and the only part you have right is the bin laden part.

  • @jarvisthebox Jarvis jarvis, please stop you're embarrassing yourself.

  • Haha! what is this?!

  • Genius.

  • "In the past blacks WAS seen as ignorant..."

    Onion you crack me up.

  • fuck no, you snobby black PBS solicitors aren't getting a cent from me

  • well..... they aint wrong

  • This is real news F what we watch on tv...

  • Fox news has finally done something right: improving the image of blacks

  • Hearing Fox News in an Onion video made it all the more hilarious.

  • I love the background picture.

  • The PBS line really got me lol

  • OBAMA = LUIZ INÁCIO LULA DA SILVA = HUGO CHAVEZ = LENIN

  • That spiked in greatness at the point where the professor was asked about voting for Obama and he says " No of course not, I have worked my whole life I have nothing in common with the man!".

    The Onion is brilliant!

  • Harvard educated smartass-LOL

  • Wasn't he in an In The Know sketch before?... as a crazy newspaper hoarder...

  • Was that the black bigot who got fired by NPR at 1:40?

  • Vechoric, per capita means nothing. We make more money every day than any other country. All the countries you named are 2 feet by 2 feet... America is huge... Not to mention the vast uninhabited areas and watever

  • Something about this video sets it aside from other Onion productions. Maybe because it's so true. This is absolutely brilliant.

    Love that part about Fox news.

  • the old black man being interviewed comes in the iphone 4 face time ad (How does it feel to be a grandfather"

  • it's the iphone grandpa

  • Woodson looks like if had a British accent he'd say touche, followed by indeed, followed by indubitably.

  • It's about time there was a black man with blue blood.

  • "San Diego boys club charity swim inadvertently raises awareness of shark attacks"

    Gotta love the onion.

  • god i wish the onion was real this is the one and only time anything about obama actually makes sense

  • @VhDVE well as you must have heard, there IS talk about Obama coming from Kenya, Africa. And there were witnesses, too. (*ahem* his grandma who CONVENIENTLY died RIGHT before the election.)

  • "no I've worked all my life I have nothing in common with the man!" GOLD! But even better was the voice he said it in!

  • If you're black you can not only be seen as a snob, but get the Nobel Peace Prize without doing a god damn thing.

  • I've worked my whole life - I have nothing in common with the man!!!!!

    gotta love the onion

  • Comment removed

  • Beware! The Negro Stalks At Night!

  • bad brasseye

  • @VhDVE Than would you advocate calling american-born Asians just plain yellow?

  • "John McCain gave another speech attempting to distance himself from his policies"

  • andrea bennett is hot. I'd totally hit that.

  • @takncareofbidnes Agreed, although I feel like she would be the aggressor. Not that I would have a problem with that...

  • "America can now past the color of Obama's skin, to see the Harvard educated smart-ass underneath."

    As opposed, I guess, to our failure to look at Bush's skin color, to see the Yale educated dumb-ass, on the surface?

  • Lol "So clearly you are voting for Obama"

    "Oh of course not I worked my whole life I have nothing in common with the man"

  • lol the last part was the best were he says he isn't gonna vote for Obama haha

  • He "thinks" he's too good for the rest of U.S.A. case in point his "Apology Tour".

  • "FOX News, they've done so much for the Black Community."

    LOL.

  • @dssupra ... It's a joke

  • Please don't feed the troll.

  • @dssupra:  = |

  • @dssupra wow, you really think the onion is a legit news source. congratulations on being the most uninformed person ever to comment on one of their videos.

  • yeah butwhere did those carribean's come from africa of course there were no black people originally from america or the islnds they were all mayan's inca's and aztecs and native american indians

  • haha this is a funny spoof

  • lmao "No of course not. I worked my whole life, I have nothing in common with the man"

  • 1:21 the havard educated smart ass underneath LOL thats funny

  • In other news, McCain gave another speach trying to distance himself from his policies.

    Win.

  • What the hell is an african american?

  • its what politically correct people call black people... its horrible i know

  • From what I've heard, they're a group of people from the moon, sent by Hoja (the moon spirit) to make use of our bountiful supply of watermelons and chicken that has plauged our world for centuries.

  • @Kufukahn they are like us but with darker pigmentation. And they have a thing for kool- aid

  • @foulbeershits Not necessarily. There are white people in Africa. If one of them moved to America, and got their citizenship, they would be african american.

  • @alysluv African American refers to people of negroid decent living in America. White people in Africa are Europeans who emigrated during the colonial period or later.

  • By your logic, that means white people living in America are not American.

    "White people in Africa" are not Europeans if they weren't born in Europe.

  • @alysluv dude, be practical. no white person from africa who now lives in america identifies themselves as african american.

  • A black american.

  • Lots of black americans aren't african-american.  Some have caribbean ancestry and choose to identify as caribbean americans.

  • And how did their ancestors come to be in the Caribbean?  That's right.

  • @Kufukahn An american from africa.

  • Why so they not change the title of NAACP to represent the hypenated Ameri..., I mean the african-American?

    Because then they would be known as NAAAA

  • ah, as a canadian i like to think that i see things from outside the hotbox.

    i respect obama for trying to do what he thinks is right and thats what a leader should do.

    i support him and mcain equally and i do hope that you guys have a shovel for gettin yourselves out of this mess

  • Can we has more money, plz?

  • go ask the AIG board members

  • oops. wrong comment reply. sorry :P

  • i have a better idea lets abolish money all together

  • ill give you three potatoes for that lamp

  • @Mastervitro then how would we buy sex?

  • damn. the onion is much over due for their own t.v channel on cable t.v. i think

    the only reason they havent gone to cable

    t.v is theres no middle man they would

    have to pay so on youtube theyre acually

    saving money and raking i profits from their on websites plus the comments we leave on their channel. Go Onion!

  • they can't keep on coming up with material constantly for a tv channel. they come up with a video about once a week.

  • but they would get more people working with them on TV :)

  • If you just listen to the stories they say are coming up all the time...yeah that stuff writes itself. I'm sure they could do 24 hour fake news...or at least 12 hour then repeated...

  • Accusing a person of wrongdoing is just a way of affirming that he can do better.

    GK Chesterton would be proud.

  • LOL fox news and bill o'reilly xD

  • While it's a joke an all, it's so freaking true it's scary! lol..

  • really?... i think the fact that u think that is scary

  • 1:58 would be the sad truth..

  • Really funny. Great video. Obama is just another figure head working for the companies that run America so if he were an orange man it would be the same for the people. The only change being a change of blah, blah, blah. I know this is a fake video but it ends that it's more realistic thinking than the regular news.

  • Brilliant.

  • ''Fox did so much for black peoples'' lol =)

  • haha "oh of couse not i worked my whole life "

  • hahah, i like the 'reverse' there.

  • OMG racists! hahhahahhaha

  • I chuckled throughout, then I laughed when i saw the Bill O'Reilly pic "courtesy of the NAACP"

    XD

  • I know I am a little late on this but how the fuck would you know about the truth world if not by getting the info from the media? Do you fly to random-ass places!??!?!

  • You've got a good point. "Media" is such a vague term, it really applies to every possible source of information except for direct personal experience, which is pretty damn limited where politics is concerned.

  • Fuck these men's wearhouse commercials.

  • this was so subtle in its brilliance I worry not enough people are going to get it.

  • @steelphoenix This isn't subtle.... At all... The Onion is great satire, but it's anything but subtle.

  • @steelphoenix I worry that most people who voted your comment up didn't do it because you were ironically being a snob but because they agree with what you said. sigh.

  • Fox worked tirelessly to make a black man suddenly an elitist. lol

  • At 2:07 you can almost see her cracking up at that last bit.

    Keep up the good work Onion!

  • shes just smiling at him

  • I think she's pretty.

  • In recent years conservatives have tried to use the "I'm just like you" card to get elected. But I don't want a president or senator that's just like me! I don't care about who I'd rather have a beer with or sit down and play cards with. I have friends for that. I want someone who is far smarter and more politically savvy than myself. At the same time, I want someone who has concern and sympathy for a common person such as me.

  • mhm, guess you're depressed knowing how your country has ended huh?

  • love the insult against fox news ahahah

  • loved this

  • Why is it that the liberals are branded the elitists?  It's the conservatives that advocate tax breaks for the rich.

  • liberals come off whiny know-it-alls who don't respect the working man who and not quite grasp actual reality. I point to Obama

    Say what you want about the rich, but some of them do know the value of work, thats how SOME of them got their money.

    At least others gives to charity.

  • Liberals looks down the working man? Yeah like conservatives love the working man. Sure.

  • Liberals don't respect the working man? If they don't, they certainly don't show it with any of their economic policies. Why then is it that the working man votes for the liberals more often then not? If by "no-it-all", you mean that liberals are more educated, and like to use facts-- scientific, historical, and economic-- to back up their opinions, then I would have to agree with you.

  • As opposed to conservatives who opposed and continue to oppose fair labor laws arguing that it was government infringement?

  • Onion youtube comments really bring out the values in people.

    The Onion can make fun of death, war, viral disease, gender, economy or what have you,, and no one really cares.

    Bring a politician into the matter, dispite the rather miniscule effect a single politician has compared to the whole political process, and everyone is offended.

  • "No of course not I worked my whole life"...nice.

  • Lol at how she said John McCain gave a speech trying to distance himself from his policies.

  • "Ofcourse not, I worked my whole life, I have nothin' in common with the man."

    LOL

  • lol "no of course not [voting for obama]. I have nothing in common with the man"

    Thats funny.

  • lol wow, the social commentary on race relations is quite good in this video.

  • DelalovesDarlina, Obama would probably still have been elected if he was white because of his eloquent speaking. But the media wouldn't have shielded him and crowned him for nominee and president as you mentioned if he was white. But you could argue that if not for the the media shielding due to his race the Democrats would've given Clinton Florida and Michigan like they should've and hence given her a much better shot at the nomination.

  • Yeah, but Clinton's a WOMAN! No way could a woman run a country, look at Margaret Thatcher!

  • I live in Europe. :)

  • So true.

  • Ches.

  • That's like saying, no way could a man run the country, look at George Bush!

    I mean you do release how incredibly illogical that statement is don't you?

  • That's true actually. I stand corrected.

  • You do realize you're trying to make a rational argument on an Onion comment page, don't you?

    I mean you do realize how incredibly pointless and retarded that statement is, don't you?

  • "I mean you do release how incredibly illogical that statement is don't you?"

    I wish I could understand what that even means. Totally incoherent.

  • what's so incoherent about it?

  • How do you release how incredibly illogical a statement is? He probably meant to use another word in place of "release".. Maybe like "grasp" or something.

  • why is it that every signal conversation on youtube has to come down to mocking peoples spelling or grammar?

  • The only reason I pointed it out was because he had the nerve to try to point out how "illogical" someone's statement was with a statement that was illogical within itself.

    I don't go around correcting people's grammar because I think its fun - just that one comment because I was irked enough to do so.

  • perhaps, but the original statement was incredibly illogical.

  • LOL

    Fox has done so much for the black community. TRUE! Thanks Fox.

  • 'Myanmar Magazine's Top 2008 Junta' XD

  • Um, I am black and I *was* an Obama supporter. But since he has been President I am disappointed in some of his decisions and actions. I still have a little bit [very little] faith. My opinion of him could change.

  • he is a puppet, his color is a smokescreen, he works for the bankers. lets face reality here, he won the election because of his color. i detest racisism but facts can sometimes be cruel. he will walk all over your civil liberties and profit from it. all presidential candidates are hand picked, including him. it remains to be seen who is the bigger piece of shit, him or bush. but reality is that the asshole are the bankers that produce them.

  • can you prove that he would have won with a larger majority if he was white, or was that something you just made up on the spot?

    white people are not interested in politics, neither are black people, unless a black man is running for president.

    why do you think that bush got voted in for "4 more years" even though he has been described as (conveniently) one of the worste presidents in history. because he wasnt counting on your vote, he was counting on you not to vote.

  • lol you're so full of shit, Obama wouldn't have even been elected senator if he wasn't black. No way in hell would he have even won the democrat ticket. He's just another rich snob, but as a white guy he wouldn't be able to compete against the other legacy/ dynasty white politicians. In all truth the ONLY reason he was elected president was because he was black.

  • Obama is an excellent speaker, that is what you need as a politician to succeed. If he were to be white, I'd think he'd have an easier time. I think him being black is actually more of a testament to how much of a skilled politician he is.

    Bush was white, you think if he was black he'd of been president? Are you fucking nuts?

  • Obama isn't as great a speaker as you people make him out to be. He has throughout the campaign been given the easiest questions and when given a legit question like many of the other candidates he just talks in circles. As far as 90% of what he says is empty rhetoric, most of it evidently lies. Do you think Obama would be pres if he weren't rich? Or if the media didn't give him the election on a silver platter. TIME man of the year, lol give me a break.

  • Talking in circles is politics, its about not getting caught. Some people are very good at it. That has nothing to do with Obama's ability to speak.

    His oration skills are close to unrivaled on the American political scene. Black or white, not relevant.

  • So basically now you're admitting that avoiding having to answer questions makes somebody a good politician?

    Personally Id rather have somebody that spoke like Bush, as long as I knew they were being honest.

    His oration skills are nothing special its just he's given so much publicity on how well he is, its just the media sucking his cock again.

  • There is nothing to admit. It is common knowledge that not getting caught in a corner makes you a good politician. It's how people 'win'.

    As for the other things; I guess we have a difference in opinions. Me, I'd take someone that is intellectually curious over some Texas half wit any day.

  • I'm guessing thats a common liberal stance. Because somethings common (in this case politicians) that makes it alright.  People win in politics by attacking the other person on the media, and having minimal negative coverage on themself. Like I said before Obama only won senator bc he brough up the divorce records of his opponents.

    So youd also take a liar, over someone who's honest?

  • obama is a puppet... watch "the obama deception" here on youtube.....

  • Too late now. The whiny Obamatard thought police had that nut Alex Jones' channel shut down.

  • "now he crosses out of fear of being asked to donate to pbs."

    good sir, stop digging, because i believe you've struck gold.

  • Oh she is sexy!

  • "John McCain gave another speech today attempting to distance himself from his policies"

    hahhahahahahahahahahaha

  • Even though the vid is fake. I actualy agree with video and think it is good in a sense.

  • "might even be called rednecks"?? lolz here we have blacks that wear cowboy hats, put the proud Rebel flag on their tucks and fly it in their front yard. they call themselves "Redneck Niggers". i am not joking. anyone from noth mississippi will tell u. i know two of them an i only go to noeth mississippi every couple months. i like redneck niggers. they are good people.

  • Yea not all black people are city folks like they are stereotyped, only living in big cities. I'm a redneck and proud of it.

  • mabey even a redneck!  lol

  • Good Times this shit is still funny as hell.

  • i think the black dude in this video is the same as the trainer in the Diversity day episode of the office, mr Brown but I'm too lazy to look it up.

  • so this is what happens when two guys take a video as their private forum to arge about how civilized is one and how proud of beinf native is the other... both discriminatory in their own way, omg

  • agreed I hate racisism but I also hate political correctness and everyone making a big deal about thier heritage. A person should be judged by his actions and accomplishments and not by heritage.

  • I agree one hundred percent.

  • It seems like so many people follow that since of accomplishment even if they themselves are an idiot. Just because I like Kanye West, should all black people gain that respect. If Bush is an idiot are white people idiots.... if I bleed do I not hurt.... sorry fell topic

  • "john mccain gave another speech today attempting to distance himself from his policies"

    laugh my fucking ass off.
