Black reporter goes in on White House Press Secretary

[BrotherAtticus]

I love the look on his face right after he puts his foot in his mouth.

[fireking9934]

your a dumbass yahsoldier1.....

april ryan.. the woman that asked what obama's view on slavery was

[MidnightinSavannah]

Ha Ha Ha ,he put her ass in check @2:10 comparing her to his son. With all the black on black killing and she worried about some damn party.

[thethelashow]

Robert Gibbs is an idiot.

[quixel12]

I hate gibbs but you are a douche and racist..trying to be gansta and saying that a black person would do a better job then any other reporter (yes you mean white) is assinine and racist!! Major garrett and even the troll Helen thomas finally started trying to in him down and arguing ith him even though she is a liberal buffoon like Gibbs

[konatown5]

April is an abbrasive cunt

[newt0830]

go gibby

[iamtanmay]

ummm.... are you forgetting that his boss is in fact.... Black ?

[kredkids]

Sir,

Why must u bring color into the equation. The color of the skin doesn't saw if they can represent well. Her intentions were good but her delivery was not. Hay if she doesn't respect him with all the interruption while he is answering the question then he got the right to classify her to the same stand as his son. And dude common sense shows that if you plan an event you must be there to see hows it going. Girl did her Job and Gibbs supported the claim.

Good-Day=-)

[crazy7come11]

I guess the reason she is gone from the Whtie House is Desiree has caused such a stir with allowing in White Folk that were not invited guests. They looked like millionaires but infact were con artists. Nothing like a free dinner in the Big House with the nigger in charge, All lips and not class is Obama. Purple rain come out of his mouth when he runs his mouth. Just another tax and spend liberal lying to get into office and then not doing the peoples business. The Sister was right on.

[scalplifter55]

is that cum stains on gibb's blue dress

[moonlandingwasfake]

BRING BACK DANA PERINO !!

[AbsolutelySuperior]

April is nothing but a stuck up Nigger Bitch. Robert Gibbs put that Nigget whore in her place!

[Dyates30]

Ridiculous. If you want to know something, Ask straightforward quesions, and don't interrupt when he tries to answer, and maybe you would hear something. Your "Sista" needs to learn how to ask questions.

[yahsoldier1]

i disagree, dickhead was beating around the bush

[Dyates30]

I agree. He always beats around the bush, never stated that he was. I just think she needs a clue. Every video I see her in she has nothing pertinent to ask, or has nothing that benefits anyone to add to the discussion. Dumb, Dumb questions...Not "handled" LOL. He compares her to his child because that is what she acts like.

[CymHastings]

@yahsoldier1 that's called politics. deal with it.

[MrShannu21]

FUCK ROBERT GIBBS HE GOT CHEWED\

[whtlghtnng78]

Robert Gibbs did a great job

[willia3r]

Ryan got handled. She should have went towards the direction of "Hey the american people are concerned that their current President isn't getting the proper potection like the past Presidents. Why is that?"

Unfortunately she did not do that. Her line of question was all over the place. She never took it to a certain direction, if there was any, and she got "owned" in the process.

She needs to go back to the school of good interviewing and quick dry wit.

[akhilmago]

stupid bitch

[genesterov]

i side with Robert Gibbs

some people can be quite boring

[2012vote]

Gibbs is such a little snot. Ms. Rodgers fired the person that would usually be at the door. Her reason was the WH will be doing things differently now. Well yes they are.

[hareball527]

She was not asking anything important and the saddest part about this is that she was being persistent! Do you think the President or anyone on Capital Hill is really concerned about this trivial topic? Absolutely not. Come on. If you want to be taken seriously, then get with the program.

[ToryaH424]

sister i'm so sorry you had to be offended like that. he talked down to you. as you put forth your line of questioning and your zeal to get answers ,he compared it as some kind of hysteria from a child that needed to be calmed down. black people wake up. these socialists will throw you under the bus also if its to advance their agenda. wall street is still being bailed out, but main street including black folks boulevard isnt . close to 20% if not more unemployment in our community. shame

[KarmicOmen]

April was not asking stupid questions; she just needed to be more direct in her questioning instead beating around the bush -- possibly unsure of how she should address the matter, or if she even should address the matter. Robert looked like the same ass he always looks like ... the ass that treats everyone with smug condescension and idiotic responses!

[KarmicOmen]

Where was April was headed with this before she was cut off by this big buffoon? Here's where: It is the social secretary's job to work in conjunction with Secret Service at these events. The social secretary, positioned at a check point, compares photo identification of arriving guests to names on the attendees list, and physically compares names on invitations against the list ... not clad in an elegant evening gown, attending the event and having a grand old time instead of overseeing it.

[ugadawgs014]

shes a dumb black woman asking stupid fucking questions...who gives a shit about what she feels..shes a fucking racist bitch who got put on her place...she wants attention" omg, im a black reporter"..fucking lame

[basejumpin1]

PS> as a black women, i loved that he said what he said. so you not being a woman should shut up...

[basejumpin1]

dude shut up... she wasn't asking anything good at all you are making an ass.. he was right to compare to her to a spoiled brat. asking stupid questions. dud get a life this is about her inability to shut the fuck up. he schooled her so get of the internet

[AM4RU2]

why does everybody say get a life essentially your a hypocrite ha ha the man is actually taking his time to submit a video to this social network find something you like do then you would have a life until then dont be a hypocrite

[basejumpin1]

he isn't saying anything important, thats five minutes of wasted life.. mine. by the way responding to you just took two more minutes off dammit, i want my time back i should sue you.. am4ru2... that reporter is ignorant. and this guy posting is too. i don't mind being ignorant. i just wouldn't post a video on it about an ignorant reporter

[AM4RU2]

Nope stop being hypocritical an having a contradiction if you dont like what he is saying you shouldve watched the whole video haha

[victav]

OLOL @ 00:36 for the record sister is spelled with an I not with a U just to clear that up.

Furthermore she was asking stupid questions about some shit no one gives a fuck about so Gibbs was awesome for changing the subject.

[mrsyrl]

aril looked and acted like a raging bull....totally ghetto in somethings she said and how she carried herself......she needs to go to an anger class and learn how to act respectfully in public...

[ambroulard]

Gibbs handled this really well- her question is moronic yet he treated her with actually more respect than the question deserved- ( that's his job though).

[acresboy40]

here we go with the race thing and his dad is the president.

[senorelroboto2]

The questions were stupid and she was being a jerk.

And he still answered the stupid questions. She got what she deserved. Oh, and I don't think that there was any racism here at all as the video seems to imply at the beginning. Seriously, his boss is black, and so is the Social Secretary that the reporter was trying to smear.

[omegaxdiablo]

the reporter made herself look like a dumbass in fron of the world! she got what she deserved! LOL

[benzino248]

LOL...engaging questions...what our country really needs here...questions about the White House Ball and who crashes it. Ridiculous.

[buffmann1986]

clearly you are clueless... this is an embarrassment not an accomplishment.

[dekotable]

That reporter is an embarassment to reporters, women, and black people. I don't know how the dude in the beginning of the video is actually sounding like he's proud of her. She was acting like a fool, it's the fuckin white house, not some tabloid bullshit. Gibbs probably spared her some embarassment by cutting her off. You can almost see the other reporters going wtf is with this stupid bitch. It's not a good idea for black people to stand up for her just cause she's black. It's not about that.

[NameInvalid1]

and the principal, continuing to harp on the black vs. white issue, was really stunting our progress about getting over the fight. point is, white people and black people should be able to have normal (pleasant and unpleasant) encouters without their premise being perceived as based solely on race. in the case of this video, you would have to prove that gibbs would have treated a white reporter with the same question, differently.

[inorkstonewolf]

y do american blame every thing on racisem, do ppl of diffrent color or nationality or religion deserve better attention, NO!, if i was in his place id tell her to "shut the fuck up n let me talk", the same way id tell any one in that room, n if this "BROTHER" thinks that Gibbs was racist in any way he should show it, cuz i dint c it.

[MinDisRighT]

@2:15 that cocksucka's got some nerve talking to her like that!

Her son is probably smarter than his dumbass. Robert Gibbs is a pale mutant who babbles rhetoric daily instead of answering challenging questions.

She asked engaging questions and like a typical white supremacist he downgrades to child status.

Robert Gibbs is a Punk ass Bitch!

[gurlsingerfan]

This strikes a bigger problem for President Obama. Despite his claim to a "new" era, it appears to many that a prosperous looking white couple in nice clothes can pretty much go where they damn well please, while a black female reporter can be spoken to like a child by whitehouse lackeys.  Obama is pretty much being seen now as an inside the beltway elite who has forgotten his days as a neighborhood organizer. As Richard Pryor once famously said, "you better remember which way is up...

[medit84truth]

Some of these comments are funny. the only reason ya'll are saying she acted like a child is because Gibbs suggested it. Do any of ya'll have an original thought? Your only conceding she acted like a child in order to justify how he talked down to her.

[hypnosquirrel]

the topic didn't justify the nasty attitude.

[spongeballz94]

SHUT THE FUCK UP WIT THIS BROTHER AND SISTER BULLSHIT!!!!!!............aPRI­L WAS ACTING LIKE A BITCH ND SHE WUDDNT LET GIBNBS TALK AND SHE WAS ACTING LIKE A 3 YEAR RETARD... APRIL IS A RETARD AND SO ARE YOU..MADDNESS619 IS A FUCKING GENIUS

[cash4jerry]

Where was this lady when obama was being askes all the softball nothing questions by nbc,cbs,cnn,msnbc????? She would have had obama pissing in his pants!!!! You go girl!!

[westybrook]

She sounded like someone I would love to smack in the mouth, what a rude fucking bitch, good man Mr Gibbs.

Give that BITCH what for, yeah BITCH get that back at ya!

[medit84truth]

"She sounded like someone I would love to smack in the mouth"

"What a rude fucking bitch"

Did you seriously type that and not see the contradiction? Lol

[Ventura2050]

Why do they talk about racism in this case? We have a lady talkin too much, thats normal

[mario76ist]

Robert Gibbs you're my idol man!!! fuck that stupid getto bitch she sounds just like my mom...

[maddness619]

She was acting like a child...There are more pressing issues...Like he said there are 98,000 men and women at war in Afghanistan...Why she is wanting to know about a party???? Black people get a grip!!!! BTW I'm black and I'm ashamed she made a party an issue...Pure bullshit.

[CMLAFLAMME]

I agree. Why would he want to get into whether or not Michelle was jealous of some ladies dress at a dinner party. Sad that many of you would be so interested in a topic like that. This reporter has been rude and childish many times over trivial issues. I think they should just let her go and bring in someone else to fill that seat. No press secretary has ever been liked. They have a tough job. At least when a real question is asked Gibbs writes it down and tries to answer the best he can.

[maddness619]

You hit the nail right on the head my friend...I am the first person to speak out against racism, but it played no role here...She was just beginning to irritate the hell out of me! So I could imagine how Gibbs felt...He doesn't seem to mind the tough questions but reporters should ask questions of consequence...

[Gatorshitz123]

What's up with you people? Robert Gibbs is a pompous ass and treats her with total disrespect. He doesn't like the line of questions and will not answer her questions. Instead he treats her like she's some kind of uppity bitch. If Gibbs can't treat the press with respect he should resign!

[Reqrezentin]

Man, she is messed up.

[GDP2003]

Wow, that lady is annoying. All she wants to do is cause trouble. Is this really important at all? No, it's not

[AviationEverything]

Well I was very disappointed with this April chick. As a young African American female myself, she could have been a lot more professional with her questions. She made herself look like a child because she was acting like a child. When I was a child, I spoke and acted like one, but when I grew up, I put away childish things. Obviously she didn't learn that growing up.

[sgsfdgfsdfsdfsddf]

what a crappy reporter... crappy questions

[xBloodXGusherx]

She should have thrown a shoe at his ass just like Bush got done to him.

I love how white people use this as a way to start saying every evil thing about black people now. As soon as black person challenges the white man, people feel its ok to start saying nigger and monkey. The thing is you would never say it to a white persons face so stop acting hard online.

[duhnordeaster]

Yeah, because we all know a "brutha" or a "sista" can do a better job than a White journalist. It saddens me that you think her 'getting Ghetto' would be beneficial. This woman is a hack, asking a laughable question, and was acting like a child.

[rickleanne]

if people are going to grill the press secretary on something, shouldn't it be for something worth a story? We're in a financial meltdown, there are two wars going on....grilling him on who invited themselves to a dinner? who cares? We have bigger issues.

That being said, his making a comment about her acting like his child was way out of line.

[CLONG3]

American indian here and I don't think I'm a half white devil, but I was happy to see "A sista" knock that arrogant bastard around a bit.

[bmscolom]

generalizing news is his job you idiot.

[chuckyko]

"A sista!!!" This nigger must be so proud of himself. Go back to Africa, you gorilla.

[iuhalt]

Okay, this is ridiculous and unfortunate way to portray this event. You took insulting political dodge by a politician and used it to reinforce a stereotype of black attitude. I am sure the maker of the video was intending for this to be an example of strength of the black persona but it come across as foolishness.

[NameInvalid1]

to negroxfile...lol, you are a sad racist.  a 39 year old with a hooked up racist youtube account. you probably do well in life. but hey...thanks for all the personal info. you offer up so readily on the internet. you seem like an angry (because of being a failure in life), violent person and could possibly be a danger to others...you've been reported.

[NameInvalid1]

why does everything have to be based on race for some black people on youtube? no one looks at the fact that her question can be equated to something in a tabloid...it's a race thing. trust me, i don't like gibbs at all but everything is not always based on race guys. some people are obsessed with race and see it in every encounter.

[medit84truth]

"Why does everything have to be based on race for some black ppl on utube?"

With all do respect, u contradicted yourself in that statement. U asked why it has to be about race, but then mention race when assigning a particular mentality to a group of ppl. U essentially made a universal problem about race within your comment, as if white ppl on utube dont' have just as big a problem.

"Why does everything have to be based on race for some ppl on utube?"

See the difference?

[NameInvalid1]

white people do say horribly ignorant things on youtube as well...in that context, i was talking about a trend i saw in videos such as this where the first premise is (if you look at the title) race based. why can't it be that a woman was pressing a "pop culture" type issue when the President just assigned 30,000 more troops to Afghanistan and Gibbs (who works for a black man lol) was dismissing the kind of question...not her as a black woman?

[medit84truth]

Also my friend, ask yourself why some ppl are obsessed with race & see it in every encounter? For every cause there is an effect. It seems that cosmic law applies to everything in life except race (color) relations.

Ppl that have been cheated on frequently, they're "Obsessed" with infidelity & see it in every encounter (actions of other 1/2) in their next relationship. It's a trust issue. Black ppls trust was historically obliterated & some black ppls genetic memery can't shake it.

[NameInvalid1]

@ medit: Genetic memory? How come I don't have that? You also make a statement about infidelity but that's not a proven fact. Choosing to see every unpleasant encounter between whites and blacks as race based simply perpetuates racial tension.

In high school, I fought a black kid after school and it was because (we were once friends) and there had been some words exchanged about other stuff (high school like stuff, not race) and we fought on that premise...not because of our race

[NameInvalid1]

@medit continued.

So we fought and the next day the principal had me in his office trying to get me to say that it was race based. Both myself and the black kid kept saying "no it has nothing to do with it...he was talking shit blah blah blah." the principal wasn't having it...he couldn't grasp that a black and white kid could come to school yard fist fighting if the basis of the fight wasn't race related. by this time me and the kid were friends again

[timothyscottgilbert]

NegroXpedofile............than­ks for the Laughs......I'm in a interracial relationship you dumb ass......hahahaha....But, thanks for callin me racist. My girlfriend thought it was funny too. Her question was a waste of time. And yes, she was acting just like an immature teenager.

[NegroXFile]

Just because you sapping that Blackwoman of her energy dont mean you aint a racist. That Blackwoman doing you a favor by dealing with your mutant ass, and remember, your baby will never be blonde, he or she will be Black, remember that shit cracker! you devils are mutants!

[timothyscottgilbert]

hahahahahahahahaha......Thanks for the Laughs.

[timothyscottgilbert]

Your Ignorance is Bliss....

[NegroXFile]

Your Evil Whiteass I Just Aint Gon Kiss...

[timothyscottgilbert]

hahahahahaha....Oh yeah, I never said my girlfriend was black....

[NegroXFile]

Whatever Black you dealing with is looking for a handout, they want some caucasian priviledges!

[Mettyism]

Where is Ashton Kutcher? Because this lady just got punk'd.

[NegroXFile]

If these Caucasians keep sneaking into The White House President Obama is gonna get fucked up, fuck all that Ashton Kutcher bullshit! President Obama is the most threatened President America has ever seen and folks are making light of this dumb caucasian blond and her fat ass husband sneaking into the white house? they all need to be fired!

[NegroXFile]

Us Blacks are sick of you whitefolks bullshit now, this shit has come to a head!

Im ready for war! im sick of you caucasians inhabiting OUR PLANET! you whites have no fucking respect for nobodies humanity but your own fucking race!

[ODRADEK111]

you are SICK.

Your generalizations are PATHETIC ("i know you whites want him dead"). What a stupid, ignorant comment!

"I pray all yall get Melanoma and burn the fuck up as soon...!"

I feel sorry for you, IDIOT.

GROW UP and stop VOMITING YOUR IGNORANCE here. People like you can only generate MORE IGNORANCE, MORE VIOLENCE, MORE RACISM.

Yes, Hitler had "a LOT" of respect for white people...he just killed more than 6 million of them.

You're SO FULL OF SHIT, a complete IGNORANT.

Bye, LOSER.

[NegroXFile]

I can take an insult from a Caucasian devil, as a matter of fact Im Used to em. Words like Nigger, Sambo, Boy, ect, are words you caucasians have used to describe us Indigenous Humans on this planet for years, and you wanna call me ignorant you pompous caucasian demonic mutant? fuck you! talk shit behind your computer in the safety of your home but run into me in these streets and I know for a fact you wont be talking that same rhetoric because Id be whooping your white ass all over Main St!

[ODRADEK111]

ohh poor man...he can take insults from a caucasian devil...oh...poor NegroXFile.

Guess what, IDIOT: I am not from the US. I have to fill out all the FUCKING PAPERS to enter this FUCKING COUNTRY OF YOURS. And then STUPID WHITE AND STUPID BLACK look at me asking WHERE THE FUCK ARE YOU FROM?So, GO FUCK YOURSELF. You think you are the only one who has experienced racism?GET A LIFE. I am in this FUCKIN COUNTRY IN SPITE OF ASSHOLES LIKE YOU AND SO MANY OTHER IGNORANT BLACK AND WHITE MOTHERFUCKERS.

[NegroXFile]

All Caps? save those caps for when you hit the battlefield you caucasian chump, because Im using all of mines in yo motherfucking white ass.

[timothyscottgilbert]

why you looking at his ass for????

[NameInvalid1]

reported.  watch what you say on the internet buddy, trust me...people are watching.

[NegroXFile]

There was a serious Breach in White House Securty, and that question that

April Ryan asked was very very important, because The President's life was at risk, so Gibbs had to answer that question, not evade it! and fuck every Caucasian devilish ass fucker in here who don't like to hear the fucking truth, Fuck all yall pale demonic fucks, Im sick of all yall, I pray all yall get Melanoma and burn the fuck up as soon as the sun rays hit your mutant pale asses!

[joegully]

I have mixed feeling. April did go overboard, but what if the President was killed at the State Dinner thanks to this event planner that F****d up? How about the Prime Minister of India? That would cause international tension.

[NegroXFile]

What fucking overboard? Robert Gibbs did what caucasians do, evade the fucking answer when the question was simple and plain . You fucking white people need to stop that playing with folks minds because I for one am sick and tired of these fucking games too! and he got the gall to insult her, talking about his son does the same thing? Us Blacks need to start whooping you white motherfuckers asses, Im sick of the games and dealing with you palke motherfuckers guy! im serious!

[ODRADEK111]

you fucking black people need to stop that playing with folks minds because I for one am sick and tired of these fucking games too!!!

Us whites need to start whooping you black motherfuckers asses.

Im serious.

NegroXFile: YOU ARE A FUCKING STUPID RACIST. America DOES NOT NEED STUPID FUCKING RACISTS LIKE YOU. GET A FUCKING LIFE, MORON.

[NegroXFile]

Nah nah keep up your racist ass caucasian rant, you whites fuck over us Black people all fucking day everyday and Im the guy who you will runup on and get fucked up, and I wont leave no witnesses!

[joegully]

I understand what she tried to pry out of Gibbs. Let's not make it a race issue. Gibbs did condescend April, but she is not the first reporter Gibbs condescended. Gibbs did Major Garret the same way and he's white. Getting irrate is not going to be the solution. Why don't you post a video about your grievance against Robert Gibbs. Remember "Obama" chose Robert Gibbs, that shows his lack of concern for blacks in general.

[NegroXFile]

Lady, Mrs whitelady, Im very protective of our Black President Barack Obama because I know you whites want him dead, thats a fucking fact. So how does 2 phony ass high society caucasians sneak into The White House through Secret Service and crash that dinner, Everybody needs to know that? especially us Blacks who want to protect him from you pale devils.ANSWER THE FUCKING QUESTION GIBBS, DONT PLAY WITH US!

[timothyscottgilbert]

Gibbs child probably has more sense and is more mature...She just wasted about 2 mins of everyones time.

[NegroXFile]

She asked a very important and simple question timothy you racist asshole, and Gibbs evaded the question, and she pressed him again to answer and he evaded again, thats bullshit, that Caucasian woman and her fucking fat ass husband was not invited, and that was a breach in Secret Service Security and everybody that was working that night should be FIRED! all they motherfucking asses, and if something happens to President Obama this fucking country is done!

[hellspawn3000]

I would certainly prefer tougher questioning from reporters ...as long as they are asking about important subjects. Her reactions and body language do make you think she is acting quite childish and it allows Gibbs to call her out on it, which he properly did.

[nightmoves44]

I agree, I'm glad he shut her up. And no, race has nothing to do with it. She was condescending and rude and the question is simply not relevant. Way more important topics to ask about...does she work for "National Inquirer"?

[Nenendude]

I don't know.... I think she went a little too far. I am down for holding the man accountable, but there are far more important questions she could have asked. ??
