  • Rod Blagoviech should have become republican if he is going to say this kind of stuff.

  • @ArtificialRed1083 aha nobody said that he said any of those things. calm yourself down buddy. you don't need to say racist slurs in order to be racist.

  • Rob's comment could very well be true, obama is more Middle Eastern then black, more Muslim the black, and genetically is half white further diminishing his claim as being African American.

  • @mechanicalbu11 Having an African father and an American mother sounds like the perfect conditions to be considered African American. A lot of black people are Muslim as well. There is nothing Middle Eastern about the man.

  • j. krishnamurti, or eckhart tolle

  • Comment removed

  • Yeah, because shining shoes automatically turns you into a black person...

  • Not stupid , true true true. I lived in a black neighborhood. My Parents had a talior shop in a black neighborhood. I got ma papers in the struggle. Obama dosent.

  • Why most republican *cough* *cough* (whites) think Negro is a offensive word when is a Latin word for black???

  • He says he's blacker then Obama, when attempting to *steal* his seat? W T F ? Then says something else about being stupid? W T F?

  • Blagojevich talks too damn much...geez stfu! You lucky you were just found guilty on one count!

  • negro dialect wtf

  • Oh jeez

  • I would not have apologized. And his comments have nothing to do at all with racism. But people are soo dumbed down now that they don't even know what racism means.

  • thumbs up if you was sent here by alphacat

  • he is blacker than obama and thats not racist i'm black

  • So what, being black = being poor?  Sounds like that was Blagojevich's point, given the other stuff he spouted.

  • obama, the mixed breed mutt

  • @Aryanized Everyone is a mixed breed mutt, you failtroll.

  • hahaha negro dialect

  • You cannot be Blacker than a person who is already NOT Black Obama is ~Half Caste~ biracial born 9 months inside a white womb enbryo and fed through a white test-tube making him a dual human bieng. Obama looks more white because white is the most gene in him.

  • The announcer sounds so funny!!!!

  • his hair is E.PIC

  • fuck obama and blagojeBITCH

  • the democrats think they can show their racism again

  • He is blacker

  • this is so rascist this guy is dumb

  • To Srbine!!!!!!!!!! SERBIA

  • The fuck is a "Negro Dialect!??!"

  • @MrZoro75 really? have you listened to black people in your live? If you haven't wow....

  • @Tea42formenyou

    Wow..an ignorant stereotyping Teabagger. Haven't seen *that* before in my "live". LOL!

  • @MrZoro75 ...MUP DA DOO DIDDA PO MO GUB BIDDA BE DAT TUM MUHFUGEN BIX NOOD COF BIN DUB HO MUHFUGGA That's a Negro Dialect.

  • Okay, he won't try to apologize directly to the president because he doesn't have the phone number... that makes sense...

  • 5 bedroom apartment, god damn, thats a lot of fucking rooms

  • look at those sweet chair teleprompters @ 0:50

  • Just remember, you can fix ignorance, but you can't fix stupidity.

  • People need to stop with the stereotype BS. I mean, if I started judging everyone based on what I see on TV, I'd be left to assume that all white people are habitual and pathological liars, all hispanic people are illegal, all black people are just here to work, and Asiains make all the shit we use in the world. See how stupid that is? Sadly, there are more idiots out there who don't know what a brain is so they can't come up with their opinions and use the media to think for them.

  • 5 bedroom apartment?!?!?

    sphschls!

  • 5 room appartment?

  • wait a 5 bedroom apartment? i dnt get it.

  • right isnt that pretty big

  • All I can say is wow....

  • dumb white boy

  • that mother fucka IS blacker than obama.

  • hahaha 5 room apartment WTF..i bet the doors mustve been gold

  • What Black person lived in a fuckin 5rm apartment.. LMAO!!! what a douche... man i grew up livin in a 3rm house..

  • hahaha Negro Dialect

  • wat a racist motherfucker!! jus cuz the way he lived he thinks hes blacker then the president! fuc u blagojevich!

  • did this really happen?

  • Lmao there's alot of people that think they're blacker than obama even celebs lol that gov is just a dumbass for saying it it's funny but he lost his seat for it lmao I'm white but I never say what he said

  • He lost his seat for trying to sell Obama's senate seat, not because of this comment

  • I think the former gov is really funny.

  • Racist people make themselves look so stupid.

  • @Skatelifeish racist people make other people apolagize just to make themselves look less racist

    everyone is a little bit racist

    for example

    in every asian porno i have ever seen the asian guy has a small tool

  • @mrfrosty8172 That's on a different subject. Racism is when you think that your race is the superior race of all.A stereotype is that Asian people have small tools. All it takes is one Asian to have a large tool to make that statement false.For example, ALL black people like watermelon.I'm black and I dislike watermelon so that stereotype is false. Just trying to get you to see the difference.You don't need to be racist to stereotype.It just means you don't have a great understanding of a race.

  • @Skatelifeish i know the difference

    everyone pretty much does

    but using offensive and suggestive language and jokes is just too much fun

    and the supremecist will love you!

  • @Skatelifeish How fuck do you dislike watermelon? You must not be human.

  • @BleedOutAndDieEmoFag Everyone has a different taste for something. That's how i dislike watermelon.For example, i don't like snickers but, someone else might think its the best chocolate bar in the world.

  • @Skatelifeish You don't like Watermelon OR Snickers?.. The fuck man.. the fuck.

  • Ahhahahaa! "He does more for Wall Street than Main Street." What the fuck did Uncle Rod do for Illinois? Hell, he put a damn traffic camera up on our Interstate just to pay for more cops in Chicago. Fuckin Chicago politicians. Every one of 'em.

  • Negro Dialect LMAO

  • hehe so if he sounded like a black guy there'd be no chance....hmm funny.

  • Negro dialect? Thats hallerious.

    That guy was an idiot for making such a remark -_-

  • Let's be honest people a lot of black people do talk differently than those raised by white people. Guess what else some white kids talk differently even though they are raised by white people. But not every person of every race talks the same but it does exist. Let's be honest Obama would not have won if he hadn't been black and charismatic and people didn't want the race card played on them i'm half black half white just like obama so i hope no one plays the race card on me :)

  • @kindahokey A lot of black people speak differently period. It has nothing to do with being raised by white people, it's dependent on dialect and the level of education. Americans have a very warped view of blacks as many black americans do fit into the stereotypes.(Blame BET) I speak proper English and I wasn't raised by whites. I'm also a proud West Indian who benefited from our (generally) superior school systems; and for the geographically inept, thats in the Caribbean not across the world.

  • yeah that's kinda what i meant but i was at work and i was in a hurry but i had to comment it came out wrong i was a little distracted at work. but i totally agree with all that and yeah from what i've heard BET is stupid

    anywayz i agree w / you

    Yeah what i was trying to get across really was that it does exist now rereading it it sounds kind of jerky

  • WTF..negro dialect? rofl

    iza guessa awz of us blak nigguhs tawks lyke thiz hea don we massuh?

  • ROFL ha ha yessah massuh i done shined dez shoez fors yah

  • LOL! ikr..

  • I rather think the comment was funny. Everyone took it way too literally, it wasn't supposed to be a racist statement, just that the black population Obama appealed to in his campaign was generally the less-educated blacks and the poorer ones, rather than the well-off ones. And he's turned out to not help low-income citizens really at all and has been helping the upper-class more. Jeez, people took this all out of context.

  • @ShadowmancerLord

    I understand how some people have taken it too far and I honestly think the statement was funny and not racist. But it was ignorant as hell, none of those things are criteria for being black, lol. Nothing but one's ethnicity matters. Yes Blagojevich could probably relate to low income blacks, but that doesn't make him black. That statement was extremely ill-advised, but funny as hell.

  • @bilysmallz I really don't understand why he had to apologize I mean he's not getting his seat back and no one gives a shit about him anymore.

  • @gwarfanatik I agree, Blagovevich has already completely destroyed his political career so he really shouldn't care about PR anymore, but everyone can dream right, lmao.

  • Thats the thing ITS NOT FUNNY! This guy used to be a leader in this country & for him to say that & for everyone to sit back and laugh is disgusting

  • Comment removed

  • @hollyroses To each his own man. I thought it was funny how ignorant certain people are, including so called leaders. It should make people think and there are different kinds of comedy bro, it wasn't side splitting funny, but it definitely was God how could he have been elected funny. It sucks how many people actually stereotype blacks and think that way, but until the majority of blacks stop idolizing, imitating and thus perpetuating that perceived culture on BET, it will continue.

  • The majority of us DON'T watch and imitate BET culture, its just that's how most of our media presentation is. And really why call us Blacks? Why not African Americans, Blacks makes us sound like we're all the same dark skin tone or something.

  • That definitely isn't a stigma we share, as Blacks from the caribbean certainly aren't offended when refereed to as Black. And obviously, not all people of African descent are 'African American'. Black americans are only a part of a much larger ethnic group and shouldn't be so fast to distant themselves from it. And besides, why not ? What happened to the Black is beautiful and afrocentric movements? And who is truly black or white, as they're the absence and mixture of all colours respectively.

  • no, it's pretty fucking hilarious actually.

  • im blacker than all yall niggaz! lol

  • govenor dose,nt have the phone# to the president ,,what a fuc#@in liar! Thank god he,s going to jail the freakin crook, anyone wanna buy a senate seat?

  • wow such ignorance; being black doesn't mean you have to be poor and come out of bad circumstances.

  • @delpiero1313

    thank you, if more ppl thought like you, the world would be a batter place

  • Honestly man a lot of the world does think like that it's just there are a lot of idiots these days.

  • @rhart49

    I am aware of that, just that recently it seems like the world is full of racist mother fuckers lol.

  • Does seem that way of late.

  • Well I can kinda see what he meant. Obama doesn't know what it is to be black.

  • and you do? stfu mon ami.

    what it is to be black is being born black and born into this craphole of world and people viewing you a certain way because of it.

    when barack was in india as a kid he was picked on because of his hair..

    doesnt know what it is to be black? GTF outa here.

  • @Darkmessenger1000 He was in.... Indonesia, not India. <_< There are plenty of black people in Indonesia.

  • but he did get made fun of which was the point i was making.

  • What does that mean? From a black person to (I'm assuming you are) a black person...what does it mean to be black?

  • To be born of a ethnic group of largely African descent.

  • I'd say he has a better idea than Blagojevich does...

  • Poor guy.

  • LOL Blagoooooooooooo

  • he basicly said to be black u have to be poor

  • hahaha what a morn

  • my albino cousin blacker than obama

  • not at all funny. unoriginal. loser.

  • After taking a news vacation,this was one of the first bytes I saw. Think I'll take another news vacation real soon. "Blaggo""Studid,Stupid,Stupid" ? This guy must have a diagonsis in the DSM-4(or3, or5,what everedition one references), by now. Can't somebody declare him non compis mentas; court apppoint a guardian ,and,in the name of compassion, keep him away from mass communication devices of any type?

    My prayer: "Save this demented man(and us) keep his mouth "Shut,Shut,Shut" Trippin

  • what's the diff between obama and his dog bo? bo has papers! ha ha ha!

  • whats the diff between you 405fooman and President Obama's dog bo? bo i would bring home you can stay at the pound

  • Democrats are funny...

  • What? LMAO I don't even know you, what makes you think your perception of me matters? Do you need friends or something? Because you have consistently bitched about every statement I have made. The argument is the same as it was when I started and the fact is I'm right and I guess you just want something to argue about. I honestly don't even know why you said anything to me but I'm just going to take my rough grammar and go on with my life. Thanks for the discourse, hope you find something to do.

  • Comment removed

  • lol

  • kool

  • cool story bro

  • 2010 and still?

  • its true, i am also blacker than obama, i mean, who isn't?

  • Wall Street people, look into it. Wall street is being helped more than main street. It's fucked up!

  • Yeah, and if he didn't try to avert the next Great Depression brought onto us by President Bush's great wars, ya'll would have been bitching about that too. I think he's strategy is quite sound, avoid a complete financial collapse, then help the little guy, cause it wouldn't help if the money your getting has no value on the global scale. God ignorance runs rampart in this day and age

  • Michael Jackson is/was blacker than Obama ;-)

  • Obama only got elected bc he is black. Think about it if 99 percent of black people vote for him which they did and just some white people do it ain't hard to get in the white house. Sorry but black people are more racist than white.

  • How the hell so? We didn't enslave an entire race! We didn't make and enforce Jim Crow laws either. How can you say we are more racist than white people please I want more historic examples of our racism and cruelty to whites! Please tell me how you figure we're the racist ones, cause an African American is President, its racist that you assume that African Americans voted for him just because he's a man of color. Did you ask every African American that voted for him why, I doubt you did.

  • I believe there is still a lot of racial tension and resentment from the civil rights era, as well as that underlying feeling that whites look at and treat you different because you are a different race. But there are some racial-radicals out there. To bring yourself up you need not push another down

  • @direnblue16 A black man voting for Obama doesn't make him/her racist. That's just stupid logic.

    But everyones a little bit racist. ;) (Awesome song from Avenue Q.)

  • if it makes better ya all, in other countries the gypsies in are in same situation lik ehere the black people... all country has some minority....

    just read bible and you find out it comes from the beginnings of """civilization"" :-)

  • martin luther king jr. is blacker than obama!

  • what an a-hole -.-

  • weve all lost our sense of humor how sad.

  • see this? race is now a way of life? what the fuck? Ugh people like this disgust me. I'm embarrased to be from illinois, and the U.S

  • Oh no he said he's blacker than Obama, call the police.

  • fuck that shit ya'll. there's nth to do with the color of our skin. if ya'll want to judge with color, take the color of blood, not skin. after all we are human and there is nth different between black and white. don't be racist. there is only one god and only one race. that is humanity.

  • well said sir!

  • Ha... "The Administration's silence stands in contrast to its response to ... Harry Reid"... that's because Harry Reid still has a job. (As opposed to Blago.)

  • WOW!. If He Really Wanted To Apologize To The President Face To Face He Would Find A Way To Do It!. And The Statement or Comment That He Made About Being "Blacker Than Obama" Was Very Inapproriate And Wrong! Let's Get It Together And Accept The Fact That We Have A President Outside Of The "White" Race!.

  • why is everyone giving these long ass speeches on youtube about politics. NO ONE CARES. "Stupid, Stupid, Stupid" lol.

  • has he looked in the mirror?

  • to be fair there are a lot of white people who are blacker than obama if you look paste the skin color and into the culture.

  • And what is the black culture ? The senseless dribble presented by mainstream media rife with stereotypes.

  • Black culture can be summed up with the words hip-hop music and sagging jeans. I mean that in a non offensive way, but hip-hop is a center in black culture, including mainstream hip hop so yeah you could say that.

  • I'm sorry man but that is the most ignorant interpretations I've ever heard. Black culture encompasses Jazz, Reggae, Blues, Zouk, Calypso, and even Rock and thats only music. Also Black culture extends far beyond inner city America. Sadly your one of many who believe the stereotypes fed to you by the media. What you see on tv does not make up the diverse culture of the race.

  • As for the sagging pants, do I need to point out that I see just as many white, latino and numerous other races wearing it the same way, that is a fad of the youth. Don't be so blatantly ignorant friend

  • I'm part of the youth of whom you and speak and it originates from hip-hop/rap. And I apologize, I should have said modern black culture or black youth culture.

  • LOL, don't misunderstand I'm not some overbearing adult judging anyone, I'm a 20 yr old student who's just slightly resentful of your gross understatement of black culture. As I said black culture goes far beyond inner city rap and even then not all american blacks follow or imitate hip-hop culture, that is a stereotype. Hip-Hop culture is just that, a culture all its own. It's a type of music not limited to any race.

  • Your mistaking a small but greatly publicized part of black culture with the entire thing. And yes hip-hop may be perceived as a great part of it in the US, but it is a gross over generalization.

  • All stereo types have a grain of truth in them and though hip-hop has spread to other races is started in predominantly black areas, with black rappers. Its only recently caught on and spread. Go to my school, its about 70% black and the "sagging jeans hip-hop culture" dominates. Like it or not hip-hop is the music of black youths today, there was always the minority of people who didn't follow hip-hop culture but today they don't even compare to the following that hiphop culture has.

  • either way I'm done discussing it because we obviously won't convince each other of anything. Feel free to leave a reply though.

  • LOL, tru bro. I know I'm opinionated but I hate when people try to force their ideas onto me, I'll listen but don't just expect me to agree all the time. Sometimes it's best to agree to disagree. The main point I was trying to make though was perhaps thats true in the United States but there's blacks beyond there as well, and as one who grew up out of the US, I feel like it was a bit too generalized. Regardless, blessings & guidance man

  • stop bitching about racism you're all not getting anywhere. nobody really cares about what you think and you'll never make a change anyway so suck it up

  • black people's past won't ever stop following them. why did that guy say "negro dialect" as if honkies don't have a dialect that sounds uneducated.

  • get 'er duuun!!!

    tell em how it is man!!

  • i'm sorry , but wtf does "get 'er duuun!!! " mean

    dam honkie dialect!!!!

  • your fussing about white people being racist and yet your putting more fuel on the fire. I'm from Andalusia, Alabama google it and look at the map. that is almost the most southern city there is(besides florida) but I am not racist and I hate larry the cable guy and i have to agree with you ivanaeat he sucks!

  • actually the way i see it, if i can show that even some white people speak in a dialect that is hard to understand and sounds uneducated then i can show that both groups have the likelyhood of being both good or bad. the best way, as i see it, to make people feel like they are equal is to show their similiarties and when people see that they are equal then they start to realize that being racist is stupid.

  • really think though deem down everyone is racist or prejuidice and hate other groups. that is how the world is but i do not like to hear them say what they feel out loud. its like if someone gets made and wants to kill some, but they shouldn't. so if people have racist tendencies then they should keep it to themselves.

  • @ivanaeat wow... Larry the Cable Guy... What a Doofus! 

  • @noura88

    sorry noura but i don't watch that guy, he is sooooooo boring. i hate all their routines . also hate sedrick the entertainer (don't know how his name's spelled). too many inside jokes

  • Fucking Racist!

  • HOW STUPID must someone say sorry for saying he is more white than a other Person?

    but on my side i dont like this shut up policy, i remember there was a pic were Bush was compared with a Monkey (it was a black humor haha), do the same with Obama and its racist.

    just think a while and u see were the problem is.

    sorry but hope USA have bigger problems soon

  • You're really an idiot 4th kind,

    because OBVIOUSLY it wouldnt be racist if you compared bush to a monkey cause that isn't the offensive stereotypes of whites.

    That's like saying,

    "There was this picture with a naked guy with a collar and was tied to a chain, but if that picture were of a woman then it would be considered sexist and degrading to women"

    NO SHIT DUMASSS!!!

  • I believe bush compared to a monkey was made to make him look less evolved, and it wasn't strictly black humor, so don't over generalize to make a point. Cause then you lose all credibility

  • Lolllllll

  • Racism sucks. The problem is there is hate on all sides. Blacks hate whites, whites hate blacks, and then there's all the other colors of the spectrum. Fact is at a atomic level we are all the same!

    There are plenty of whites out there who hate other races. I'm not one of them, but if I encountered an African American on the street who who has preconceptions about ALL whites, where does that leave me?

    This whole situation is bull in my opinion. Why can't we all just, get along?

  • because some people like to blame others for their problems and others like to have preconceived notions about others.

  • Can't let a few miserable racists with IGNORANT views make you believe ALL whites share those views. Racist comments are made from one being IGNORANT, miserable, and unhappy in life. So to compensate for lack of self-esteem, they get on youtube and attack blacks as though they're somehow superior. More than likely, the whites thats writing IGNORANT comments don't get respect from their own race in their regular lives. So ignore it. Reacting only gives them satisfaction. We love u obama!!!

  • those people saying obama isn't black, is fucking stupid.... do you people even understand the concept of the word black? Black in definitions means either, the color/color of skin/racial ethnicity. Same as saying, that guy is such a jew... no, it's only because society protrays it as such... there is no status quota for being "black" it's just your own personal preference. To define yourself as "blacker" then someone else... is just plain ignorance... ignorance is bliss....

  • Obama isn't black, he is bi-racial. I'm sorry, but anyone with 2 black parents is "blacker" than Obama.

    His mother is white and his father is black, therefore he is as white as he is black. He just happens to have dark skin.

    My friend is muilti-racial and about the same color as Obama, and she says shes not black.

    Black people are blacker than biracial people.

  • who care

  • You're an idiot. Go set yourself on fire.

  • ok... that's fine, you are born "blacker" then Obama, that's ok, that is true, Obama is mixed, but what Rob said wasn't true, Rob was talking about his economic short comes when he was a child. Refering social status and enviroment as to who's more black is just plain ignorance.

  • I'm lighter than Obama and I consider myself black because both my parents are black.

  • I'm multi-racial but I believe one should be equally proud of all inherited heritages. But that's a matter of opinion obviously, and I hope your friend one day sees past this stigma associated with non-whites in the USA and embraces her descent.

  • She does embrace her descent. In fact, her major in college was Black History. I was just trying to say, she doesn't call herself one race, because she isn't one race.

  • Ahhh, understood paisan.
