WOW. I always knew talib was an intelligent man from his lyrics and his family background, but this Interview really shows that this man has some serious brains.
I like what Kweli said about how Youtube changes experiences. And he kept it real about how President's have little power and are just the face of the nation.
@HighRiseChateau What is he angry about? This is an interview. HE WAS ASKED FOR HIS OPINIONS. It's not like he's just sitting around and complaining. I'm sure this guy has worked harder then you will ever work in your life!
@HighRiseChateau So everyone who is conscious is just "complaining"? Do you think a (former) rapper would win? Kweli is reaching the people the best way he can. For him, rapping does more than an office position ever could.
@HighRiseChateau you are a friggin idiot. I think he has earned his money. Where did you get the idea he collects welfare? I would bet he has done more with his life then you?
To the 20 who dislikes the video and maybe there will be more let me just say all of you's are a walking talking sheeps following the media... They Really Don't Care About Us -MJ
if a new president won't change anything why did Obama have a slogan that said, "change you can believe in"? According to Kweli a president can't change much. I just don't think thats true. unless the president is just a puppet figurehead.
Kweli is One of my favorite mcs from the game,but he shouldve known better not to say the country is better off with obama, He Dropped the ball in that interview
I will keep it short and simple for a sad soul such as yourself. Look above my comment, I have 28 wise people agreeing to the truth, what the hell dont you understand? Plain and simple. Either with that or fuck you
man i fucking hate when dumb asses use the word ignorant throwing it out there as if anyone that doesnt agree with them is stupid.. atleast they not easily manipulated like the majority of this society..
What study says that the mercury derivatives in vaccinations cause brain damage? Its been studied by numerous universities in different cities and countries. No conclusive evidence has shown that the mercury derivative does any damage. Also if Americans are so stupid. Why are more than 15 of the best 20 colleges in the world located in the US. Side note-- When somebody makes broad general statements about large groups of diverse people. They most likely are the ones with low IQ's
@iriesoldjahs First off if you read what I said you would see I put "typical" Americans. If your not a typical American then it doesn't apply to you but obviously it does apply to you because you think I am talking about all Americans. I am American by the way but I am not like you(ignorant). Second of all you said that Mercury doesn't cause health problems such as brain damage? WOW. lol.. I think your very retarded.. talk to me when you have serious points otherwise keep your dumb ass shut
@iriesoldjahs Wow to say that Mercury doesnt cause brain damage shows how ignorant you are. I have graduated from Kansas State University and majored in Political and Social science. When it came to politics, history, economics and culture we were taught far from the truth. I learned more from my own independent research. Now you say 15 of the best 20 colleges are in the U.S is your opinion. Majority of college students party hard & cheat on test. Everything I said is facts. Your a typical idiot
It is amazing that mercury was brought up here. To make this point even valid, I was having a conversation with a reasonable adult, who thought that mercury wasn't poisonous and that it was safe to drink it. I tried to tell her she was wrong, but she was so sure of herself that she acted like she was superior to me and told me to trust her judgment from years of life experience. Speaking of people being stupid...
@thehumandartboard Yes exactly. People since childhood were taught in schools and on television to always trust authority and never question it. So when the so called "experts" tell them something they automatically accept it as truth which is really sad.
One more good point: How much of what you learned at school do you know in theory, and how much of it do you know from experience, it's such a leap of faith to believe absolutely everything in a science textbook, which most countries worship more radically than the bible or quran and stuff
Exactly, we the people, need to get involved. Do you sit in front of your computer. Well, you can easily get involved by sending an e-mail to your elected officials to let them know what your concerns are, that's why they are there. So they can represent you and your town in D.C. I let my congresswoman know what she should be for and or against policy wise. There were as many pple in town hall meetings as much as churches. We need to bring that back!
ohhhh...and Kweli...National Sovereignty will NEVER DIE OFF.........Arizona,Texas,New Mexico and Callifornia,hell America for that matter, are under an invasion........I see this and I am of Hispanic descent......we can secure the borders of all these other countries we illegally occupy but we can't secure our own........GTFOH
And also citizens murdering police have increased last year,and several months ago somebody sent a letter to a politician threatening to get rid of em if they don`t step down.So the public is starting to fight back.As time goes on more and more people are not gonna take it anymore.People are also waking up to Illuminati misleader agent pacifiers like Alex Jones and others also.I think soon people are gonna realize that in order to take this country back they gonna have to physically fight.
idiot.........nuf said........Kweli....go stick with your lame conscious rap "career" and leave the political analysis to those that can see the bigger picture and not the whole "WEES GOTS US A BLACK PRESIDENT".....its a sad day to see someone as educated as Kweli to be blinded to the fraud that is Barry Soetoro aka Barack H. Obama aka the long legged Mack Daddy as that minister from Harlem calls him.........you lost all my respect on this one Kweli.....
@fukyuification You took one line Talib said and just ran with it out of context into a different context in your head..Talib insinuated that Obama is a puppet and he said he does`nt trust any politician.Listen to the whole vid carefully and read between the lines.
@FindRealHipHop Obama in 2012.................nuff said.......obviously you need to listen............and don't get me wrong , i fuks with Kweli as far as music goes, but his political ideology is a little off.....just like with his "By the Time We Get To Arizona".....he doesn't research the political ramifications , he just tries to stick with the line his political affilliation goes with.....just a side note, the party he supports created slavery, most blacks are Dems...hmmm....coincidence???
@fukyuification Well here is another side note, the Republicans voted agianst civial rights/womans rights/freedom for blacks and now universal healthcare, voting agianst everything that can make the world a better place, stay classy republicans. Oh and Republicans also took away democracy from Iran and put in a dictator and well as Cuba, so when Cuba fought back (Castro and Che) the US tracked down Che and killed him and put a block on Cuba. Thats alot of Bull Shit.
@FindRealHipHop can't argue there.........thank god I am not a fucking war-mongering douchebag child molesting BO GROVE anal raping Republican.........2 wings of the same vulture bro......both sides are ripping apart what is left of our country and our Constitution........WWE Politics
Uh no idea where you got your information but the civil rights movement was actually headed up by republicans before it was taken over by the democrats. Oh and further more with out the republican votes FOR the legislation it would never have happened. As for the rest of your comments, the lack of characters I'm allocated can not begin to explain your misunderstandings I would encourage you to investigate things for yourself and not just believe what you are told.
im pretty sure after seeing this video he should stick to rapping his political analysis is terrible, I would still listen to his music but please blacks dont need a token president.

Distrust the government & do nothing C. Force choice D. on the government
I think I just became a fan of the interviewer... She seems to [like] talking about things like this... She looks like intelligent conversation turns her on; either that or she likes black men =0]
black people are so full of shit.. they talk talk talk and make crap up. Whatever they think 'sounds good' at the time they will say.
And who is this jewish reporter acting like she really cares about some goofy looking negro from the hood?
Jews and Blacks.. when will America move on and stop giving these two groups 100% of their attention? Noone fucking cares.. thats why they're all on the internet now, and the tv studios are going bankrupt! take a hint stupid.
just another loud mouth shit talking negro full of hype and lack of education.
i bet he doesnt even understand half the stuff he raps about. Thats the way negro rappers are... its all about 'buzzwords'... that 'hey look at me' childish type stuff. Seeking attention from society but dont have a clue about anything let alone solve shit.
I have a problem with the likes of Talib Kweli who out one side of their mouth say the country is better off because of Obama being elected (also despicable was the intense support of candidate Obama), and out the other side severely downplay the effectiveness of the Office of President. It's contradictory thinking, and apologetic for Obama living up to nowhere near the hype he generated.
RT, if your looking for politically aware rappers, try the Welfare Poets: watch?v=Rx3IwAA3d0E
I used to think Kweli was ok, now I've lost all respect for him. And RT, what's with the anti-Tea Party attitude? Who's this "journalist" anyways, doesn't she know what side you're on?
Talib needs to get informed like KRS-1 or Mos Def. C'mon dude get with the program. Obama is a drone who will continue with the welfare/warfare state just like the last administration and the one before that and the one before that et al. He's a zionist sock puppet.
@sonyradio2 agreed. great hip-hop musician, but it becomes more and more obvious that entertainers and celebrities are not the ones that should be sought for political enlightenment. these people are well off enough to push for leftist utopias that have failed over and over again throughout history without feeling the real brunt of the horrible policies they support and encourage.
Most Americans have very low IQs.The government forces kids to get shots before they enter schools. Those shots have mercury in them which kills brain cells dramatically. Then pesticides in fruits, vegitibles also cause brain damage. Then fluoride in drinking water also kills brains cells. Also going to schools that teach you lies when it comes to history, economics and politics. Also watching television that brain washes. Add all those together and you get your typical ignorant American
@TrueGreatness73 It's sad but true. I've literally felt my brain growing in the years since the tube's been off. I Looked into it, and turns out that TV has been scientifically proven to impede non-alpha level brainwave generation, it LITERALLY turns you into a zombie!
@TrueGreatness73 well said... dont know about the shots they give kjids (didnt study here). but the rest makes all the sense ive heard about before also...big up!
@pkwithobby Everything I said were facts. Have you ever researched anything in your life? This is no conspiracy but I am not surprised your very ignorant to say such things. Your the real insane person. Go research and quit being lazy.
@TrueGreatness73 There's stupid people the world over, over analysing minute details like that may give convenient "answers" but you have to take a step back and realize there's more to it than that
@NabilRU your right. I should of been more specific, I meant peoples intelligence. I usually say IQ but I really mean their intelligence. Yes, IQ cant test ones intelligence.
@ImElvis666 Are you serious? Get out of your house and look around. Go to the store, drive on the road, turn on your t.v, look at the schools, its everywhere. People are more interested in whos butt is bigger, what celebrity is fucking who, and what fast FAT food they are going to eat. Nobody cares or is aware of whats really going on. Thats on you to decide what you plan on learning. I dont let the media do the thinking for me unlike most Americans
@TrueGreatness73 So you have zero evidence then. All the issues you point out are social, they have nothing to do with intelligence. Don't go around making unfounded claims like that. It's a dangerous thing to do.
@ImElvis666 wow, ok before I waste my time on your ignorance, why did you decide to name yourself Elviss666? lmao. I have nothing to prove to a troll. We live in a world where only the strong survive so if you decide to be a sheep I wont get in the way. Please feel free to die already, by reading from your channel I can tell you get this vibe already.
@TrueGreatness73 Ad Hominum and deflection of the discussion. When someone is left with no line of argument they simply resort to name calling. Very mature! Ironic too as this coming from someone who generalises that an entire nation has a low IQ. All I asked was for you to back up an incredibly huge clam, to which you rambled on without addressing my point. So you could at least admit, it was a foolish thing to say on your behalf and we can leave it at that.
this vid made me want to check out his music. i can see he is a wise man who is aware of the implications of his tool - the media. i hope that he continues to grow as an artist and refines his use of the media to reach many, many more people w/ a clear and positive message.
@ho2cultcha He's called a spilff head and it's usually only stoners that see any depth in his views. Take that joint out of your mouth and start reading a book.
@PlasteringKing25 The black vote is very small. It is all races that elected Obama. We all want change and are happy believing the next puppet that tells us what we want to hear.
@Joeybagadounuts08 Dont be stupid 95% of black people voted for Obama. Blacks are over 12.8% of the population, add that to the Mexican vote because of amnesty and you have you answer. (If the black and Mexican vote was as diverse as the white vote Obama would not of got elected) Do the math.
Another black man who thinks it necessary to have Obama in charge to bring change. Change comes from within, not from colour. Illegals are taking jobs from Americans, immigration is good when people are integrated into society. Another stoner !
@asperin Goway you fool ya. America has created more jobs for the rest of the word at the expense of the American people. They have lost jobs overseas and cant even get work in their own country. The American people have the right to say they have enough but you are so racist you worry more about the Mexicans.
The jobs created by the US were a consequence of its free market, the one that politicians, corporations and ignorant people like you are trying to do away with.
@asperin "Illegals are not only Mexicans" Tell me something I dont know you idiot. But the video was relating to the bill passed in Arizona, lets stick to the one subject. The free market was brought about by NAFTA, GATT 1994 you dickhead. The politicians and corporations have put everyone in the West up to their tits in debt. Ignorant people ? You Pig. I'm for immigration when it's done right. My wife is an immigrant and even she understands that. Cunt ! How about we give them your job ?
If you knew that Mexicans are not the only "illegals" then why did you said I only cared about Mexicans?
NAFTA is not free trade. NAFTA is a treaty between corporations and the State. It's subsidized corporatism. Nothing "free" about that.
(You are using the definitions the MSM is giving you)
You cannot give them my job because I do it good and I keep the prices reasonably, I compete, you don't, you whine and complain and want to use govt coercion to cripple the competition.
@SayNoToBrainWashing lol he went on to say that he isnt successfull. Fuck Obama, Fuck Fox News Fuck the Illuminati and Fuck us for laying back and letting it all happen.
Talib Kweli is Clueless.... He thinks Obama/Biden is different than McCain/Palin? They are tow Wings of the same Crooked Bird! Wake Up Kweli! Come on man!
@YankeeClippa he is just sucking up to mcmain super fries right now, because obama isnt feeling talib's record career, his comeback after this 15 of little fame is in 4 years when mccain is next up for president
Oh Talib not clueless he knows what's going on. He knows there isn't a difference between them. but he's not going to bite the hand that feeds him, i.e., the group that controls him is the same one that controls most other public figures. He just looking out for his own ass, not really for the people at the end of the day. Just like obama, selling people a dream. But from your comment I'm pretty sure you know that. Just like the Presidents they use everybody else.
RussiaToday have to stop interviewing minorities of other nations... and interview Russia's minorities and migrant workers... they're suffering because entire Russian Federation's ruled by redneck neo-nazis who are too drunk to realize Hitler HATED Ruskies... :-\
making a wide-stroke generalization against "Anti-Government" people is silly. You're not saying that good, hard-working, tax-paying citizens are necessarily "Pro-Government," are you? And you're not saying that being a good citizen means BLINDLY BELIEVING the government are you? Or that a "good citizen" should watch his Constitutional Freedoms being stripped away, are you?
@VoIPpoetry ghettos came before rap. Hip Hop originated in the ghettos as a response to Reagan cutting down on social aid stuff. People did not have enough money to do music with traditional instruments. Hence Hip Hop originally is a music of the poor - old record players turned into DJ's gear, beatboxing came about since regular boomboxes weren't affordable, etc.
I like his music and he is definitely a good image for hip hop but he is wrong about the political system. He's right saying that Obama is just a figure but he stopped short of the truth and that is he is a puppet and the real people in power are behind the scenes. Obama brought the same people who crashed out system in charge of repairing it. Therefore, Immortal Technique is much more closer to the truth, or at least he raps about it more than most others, as does Dead Prez.
Obarryama is a shill, he is getting used also, but thinks he has immunity, here is news for you man, they don't like color, wasn't Katrina enough evidence of that?
All governement are run by morons *except amsterdam for obvious reasons* who think their ideals are one size fits all and if it don't fit fuck you. Talibs cool... but not lyrically on fire, but the man is real.
Obamas teleprompter speeches are written by Zionist David Axelrod. His backers are the banksters and Wall Street. Obama is the New World Order puppet to bring in world government, just as previous presidents. He was selected, not elected, by the elite globalists. He is the closer, but light will prevail over the darkness that has come to America.
The "Presidency is SYMBOLIC??" What a MORON...Hasn't he ever heard of the EXECUTIVE POWERS of a President?? Basically, the president can mobilize thousands of troops and use billions of taxpayer monies...with just a STROKE OF HIS PEN!
@tainorebelde1 that stroke of the pen dosnt move unless he is told to do so and when to do so. AND I VOTED FOR OBAMA. because really,what was the alternative. people have this misconception that the presidency is the top of the american power structure when it is not. people believe the prime minister in britain is the top of their power structure when it is not. i wouldnt say they are just "symbolic" but at the same time they dont call the shots as much as you would like to believe
@tainorebelde1 EL OH EL. If you think any president does what HE wants and not what THE LOBBY WANTS HIM to do, YOU are the moron, not him. Guess WHY ppl become presidents. Because of public support? MORON again. because of billions of dollars from the super rich controlling every politician on Capitol Hill. Obama promised "Change" and that's all you will have left, when he's done.
I know your intention is to stroke your own ego trying to disprove what I said...but I actually agree with what you're saying- with the exception that I would add to the "lobby" The World Bankers and the structure of the NEW WORLD ORDER.
@tainorebelde1 Funny, thought the same about you (My ego feels so good now man). But why did you submit that bollocks then in the first place? Just trolling?
If you notice...the rapper being interviewed is still under the hypnotic effect of the false left-right paradigm...He will defend Obama at all costs, even if that means to "demote" him to a mere "symbol." People cannot digest the WHOLE TRUTH (special interests, bankers, G20, NWO, etc) at once. The whole truth all at once "repels" them from being awakened. Not everyone can be a "NEO" and wake up suddenly from the Matrix. Cheers.

I have a problem with the likes of Talib Kweli who out one side of their mouth say the country is better off because of Obama being elected (also despicable was the intense support of candidate Obama), and out the other side severely downplay the effectiveness of the Office of President. It's contradictory thinking, and apologetic for Obama living up to nowhere near the hype he generated.

Most Americans have very low IQs.The government forces kids to get shots before they enter schools. Those shots have mercury in them which kills brain cells dramatically. Then pesticides in fruits, vegitibles also cause brain damage. Then fluoride in drinking water also kills brains cells. Also going to schools that teach you lies when it comes to history, economics and politics. Also watching television that brain washes. Add all those together and you get your typical ignorant American

If you knew that Mexicans are not the only "illegals" then why did you said I only cared about Mexicans?
NAFTA is not free trade. NAFTA is a treaty between corporations and the State. It's subsidized corporatism. Nothing "free" about that.
(You are using the definitions the MSM is giving you)
You cannot give them my job because I do it good and I keep the prices reasonably, I compete, you don't, you whine and complain and want to use govt coercion to cripple the competition.

VoIPpoetry 1 year ago
@VoIPpoetry ghettos came before rap. Hip Hop originated in the ghettos as a response to Reagan cutting down on social aid stuff. People did not have enough money to do music with traditional instruments. Hence Hip Hop originally is a music of the poor - old record players turned into DJ's gear, beatboxing came about since regular boomboxes weren't affordable, etc.
SlyTyan 1 year ago
I like his music and he is definitely a good image for hip hop but he is wrong about the political system. He's right saying that Obama is just a figure but he stopped short of the truth and that is he is a puppet and the real people in power are behind the scenes. Obama brought the same people who crashed out system in charge of repairing it. Therefore, Immortal Technique is much more closer to the truth, or at least he raps about it more than most others, as does Dead Prez.
