  • Martin Luther King Jr.'s Birthday is my favorite holiday.

  • @slivenne Well...considering I am of african ancestry, I think I know Africa is a continent. Did I say otherwise? Africa still has the worst education system so whats your point?

  • @arch3223 MLK didnt threaten the government? Whatd you just watch the 1min video? Read or listen to the paragraph starting with "It would be fatal for the nation to overlook the urgency of the moment." The full paragraph is too large to post here but you can already tell its a threat and it gets worse as it goes on.

  • @XenovannHellwolf It is a threat, but not a threat of violence. It's a threat of action. King said it's either non-violence or non-existence. So he's not calling for any violence. He's saying the civil rights movement isn't going away until the black people's demands a met.

  • This goes great with Guile's theme.

  • ahh to close up Cenk.

  • Communist I dont care about Obama's dad. I gave an example. You cannot concede on the fact that a black man like myself can both be intelligent and successful. You are a sad case

  • If MLK was alive today, Fox and Co. would have torn him apart on a daily basis. Ironically, the love to present a PC version of him and not this side of him being aggressive with his words and empowerment.

  • Give a brotha a job :(

  • I still like the fact that Communist, the racist douchebag of youtube is still talking about IQ. Who gives a shit? There are tens of millions of successful blacks in the academia, and professional society. I myself study at University of Southern California. I am a graduate student of Neuroscience and guess what? I grew up in Compton CA in a shitty school system. I guess you still think I have low IQ

  • I look forward to the day when we are Free at Last from having to gather around the guilt pole and pay forced tribute to this drunken, hedonistic fraud.

  • 1:50 yes but he was speaking for his time... and there has been radical change!

  • And let the racist comments begin...Damn it I'm about 24k views too late for this comment.

  • Banks and their ferocious sub-prime lending practices, preying on the poor minorities...hmph!

  • To Communist....

    Republicans are in no way an authoritarian of who is the most intelligent. They had Bush jr. Enough said! In addition, you've been exposed as contradictory and ignorant. I will take pleasure in reading your monkey rant on an internet site that has no relevance in my life. Please continue to lie and contradict yourself

  • @psykosomatiq

    Will you please not shortcut the guy,whos name is "IKiLLNRapeCOMMUNISTS" to

    "Communist". Marxists feel really insulted to get compared with that racist.

  • To Final Fantasy and Communist.

    My last response because obvioualy both of you are remedial. To final fantasy I made no implication that Obama's success meant superiority of blacks. What it does mean is that our society is slowly evolving as it should. As far as being jealous of whites, why should I? There are plenty poor uneducated whites I am overseeing as their boss. So um yeah

  • @psykosomatiq

    Success does not automatically mean Intelligence.

    Obama's father is Kenyan

    it shows that sadly the 1 million or so African immigrants in the U.S.A are beating the 38 million African Americans asses.

  • IKillandRapeCommunist is a prime example of stupidity. Not only did he give me a historically incorrect statements on enslaved blacks being more intellectually superior than blacks of today, he also contradicted him. First, he has no proof. No references to submit. Second, if we take his view that there are intellectual based on ethnic groups, how does he explain the African species Homo Erectus, the Homo Sapien ancestor? I am sure he will pull something out of his ass

  • @psykosomatiq

    Even the Liberals push that the most intellectually supoerior Blacks were Daniel Hale Williams & George Washington Carver.

    What, Black American today has been more Intelligent for his time period than Daniel Hale Williams?

  • Let me conclude on my part on this and say that as a black man myself I certaintly have defied the stereotypes attributed to African-American young men. But unfortunately there are still some who believe that I am still inferior. Not because of my education or the fact that I have a job and pay state and federal taxes but the fact that my skin pigmentation is dark.

  • With that being said any man or woman of science understands that we humans are genetically the same. Intelligence as some psychologist have discovered varies. Pianists are intelligent, athletes are intelligent (think of a basketball player who can unconsciously measure the physics of putting a ball in a hole), and so on and so forth so yes your right environment has an effect upon intelligence but as I said hasn't stopped some whites in power to continue their racist mantra

  • @MelleB90 I understand to an extent agree. However and many would disagree, the difference between blacks and whites is that racism projected by blacks is largely reactive and racism projected by whites are proactive (Not all whites but whites from pre and post colonial era). Yes we are all one species but that doesnt stop Crick the discoverer of the double helix, of him stating that blacks are biologically inferior

  • M l k was a republican

  • As great as the legacy of Dr King is I fear that his powerful voice in today's society would have nonetheless yielded the same result. And sadly that is the true measure of how far this country has come... or hasn't.

  • my favorite commentary on MLK is the episode of Bookdocks showing what would happen if MLK hadn't died

  • It is being reported that Rick Santorum's wife, Karen Santorum, surprisingly, is a whore... I'm not kidding... literally... in her younger days, she was a whore.

  • Ron Paul is more like MLK than any other candidate. Yet he is to racist to elect.

  • @jallison79 Ron Paul isn't even racist, wtf.

  • American Dream is more alive in Canada?  Our version of the American Dream is to have hockey year round and an endless supply of beer.

  • Im not even American, Im English. Yet even I have studied MLK. It was attached to my Civil rights course in history and let me tell you he was one hell of a man. You can debate forever over what would be his views on current situations but I think we can all agree, he was a brave man, who died for his cause, a righteous cause which shaped race relationships not only the USA but race relationships the world over. If only he didnt die, if only he could have seen his work complete.

  • I wish MLK was my pops, the man inspires me to do better. You can't hate a man like that unless you're racist or "money-hungry"

  • @joshuacorona1 or even worse, both.

  • I've never been one to buy into conspiracy theories without sufficient evidence, but one could very easily see why the powers-that-be would have wanted Martin Luther King, Jr. dead.

  • Typo... "Unemloyment"

  • @WhyMeMoFo What, you have none of your own thoughts?

  • If MLK walked into my high school it would make him sick.

  • Dam troublemaker

  • @WhyMeMoFo I don't care about any specific people, my point is about the facts. Fact - Civil Rights Act is not a RIGHTS act, it's an entitlement and obligation act. There are no special rights for groups of people, and so when gov't passes a law that violates property rights, it puts obligations on property owners and gives entitlements to specific group of people (doesn't matter who, could be blacks, could be women, etc.)

    It is a gov't power grab and it backfires AGAINST blacks.

  • @WhyMeMoFo Half of the prisoners in prisons are there due to non-violent drug related offences in USA, while the general population is only 14% black?.Ha, let's see, do you have any actually VALID points to make? Because it looks to me that you are overlooking the forest for the woods - the real racism is disguised as the Drug War today, not as SOME businesses not willing to deal with black customers.

    Civil Rights Act = Destruction of liberty and private property rights

  • MLK brought up a lot of things, that before I never knew he said "You see, my friends, when you deal with this, you begin to ask the questions. Who owns the iron ore? Who owns the oil? Who owns the gold? The world is two-thirds to three-fourths water, why do people have to pay water bills? These are questions which must be raised.” - Martin Luther King Jr.

  • what do you think they would have done?? they woulda had fuckin killed him. which is what happend.....

  • @WhyMeMoFo duuude, how is it there? i'm moving abroad next year. i really wanna check out the netherlands

  • @romanmir01 what a joke that is. Before the civil rights act a man couldn't eat in a white neighborhood. Is that what the fuck you want to go back to? get that bullshit out of here man. Stop spreading your ignorance.

  • @crayyawn what a joke that is. Before the Civil Rights Act (Entitlements and Obligations Act), unemployment among young black teens was 15%, lower than unemployment among whites. Now unemployment among young blacks is 50%.

    No business wants to hire blacks - it's a legal threat to the business because it's a government guarantee, and just like government guarantee to banks against bad mortgages and gov't guarantee to banks for student loans, etc., this backfired.

  • @YourDogIsDeadHAHA I hear you. It's sad to me to see how far back black culture seems to have fallen. A lot of it is the horrible education system and economic conditions. It dumbs down the whole population. A real lack of leaders. But also the entire American culture has fallen so far... for any race. Look at the music we listen to, and the music videos and movies of today. Big, dumb, loud, arrogant, proud, and stupid. Then you see Coltrane in a suit blowing away on his sax.

  • @KiheiLawyer Of course we should praise the man. When you are oppressed of course you fight for your own people first. Times were incredibly desperate for black people

    Secondly, You can't judge people based on today's standards, if you did, every hero of the past was actually an evil, racist, homophobic, misogynistic dick. Let's say you own a pet, or have a job in a capitalist nation. In 100 years maybe unwise people will call you a thieving oppressor of the poor, or a slave-owner.

  • I love dumb racists who make shit up. If there was a correlation between genetics and intelligence African Americans or Africans for that matter wouldnt be in positions of high authority such as lawyers, doctors, oh and the highest office in the world the president of the US. Oh lemme guess its the white side of Barack that got him there right? LOL

  • @psykosomatiq Couldn't agree more. . . and that applies just as much to cenk and the like as it does to those white supremacist morons

  • @psykosomatiq

    look dude. the president of the US is NOT the highest office in the world. there is no such thing. saying such a thing stinks of the hardwired belief that the US is the 'greatest' country in the world. this is not true. no one should claim this.

  • @psykosomatiq and seeing how geneticists trace every human's dna back to africa, all genetic intelligence comes from africa

  • @psykosomatiq just like males can't possibly be genetically more likely to be stronger then women because there are strong women.

  • @Houshalter Maybe women are stronger than your whimpy ass, but males are genetically stronger than women.

  • @psykosomatiq It was the Wall Street side of Barack that got him there ;)

    But I know what you're saying, and you're right

  • @psykosomatiq it's not a significant genetic difference, it's a cultural and often socio-economic difference that affects the more black people than white people.

    This traditionally comes from crimes committed by said white people some time ago.

    That said, white people and black people and everything "in between" are by and large all ignorant.

    Regardless of ethnicity, a frighteningly low percentage of people seem to grasp that we are ONE species on ONE finite planet that's already too small.

  • @MelleB90

    This is why poor Whites do better on the SAT tests than Upper middle class Blacks.

    White kids coming from families making less than 10,000 dollar a year incomes

    did better on the SAT tests

    than Black kids coming from families making more than 100,000 dollar a year incomes

    Poor Asian kids do even better on the SAT than do poor White kids.

    Yeah, Asians are minorities too?

    Obviously it is more of a genetic / biological issue on average than a socio economic issue.

  • @IKiLLNRapeCOMMUNISTS - "Obviously it is more of a genetic / biological issue"

    More proof you have no idea what you're talking about. These average scores change every generation or so. Genetics and biology don't change per generation. African immigrants do equally well as Asian kids and tend to outscore American kids of all "races" as well. You committed the logical fallacy of confusing correlation with causation.

  • @A86

    I never denied enviroment involvement in Iq

    but, clearly the reason why African Americans have a 20 point lower iq than China is mostly from genetics

    African Immigrants are mostly the elite upper crust of Africa.

    US bankers funded both Nazis & Soviets & even Communist China.

    Yeah, Bankers are huge scum.

    they make the mafia look like small fries.

    Oh the U.S.A is so terrible for killing people in Japan

    when Japan invaded the U.S.A

    give me a break Liberal losers

  • @IKiLLNRapeCOMMUNISTS - The average African-American IQ is about 91. The average IQ of people in China is 111? I don't think so. The average for Asian-Americans is about 103. 80 years ago the average Asian immigrant had an IQ in the high 70s to mid 80s. What happened since then? Did their genes change? Did black American genes change? About 80 years ago the average black American IQ was in the mid to high 70s.

    Obviously it's not genetics at work.

  • @A86

    The most recent iq of China is 105

    The Iq I have for African Americans is 85

    Asian Americans hadabout a 97.5 iq inthe 1970's & before

    but, today the Asian American iq is about 105- 107

    Asian Americans were already higher than African Americans.

    I have not denied enviromental influences on Iq.

    but, clearly Asians & Jews & Polish people & Italians in the U.S.A quickly gained a higher iq than the White Protestant majority for a reason

    While Blacks & Latinos lag

  • @IKiLLNRapeCOMMUNISTS - The most recent for black Americans is about 91:

    (.) brookings (.) edu / views / papers / dickens / 20060619 _ IQ (.) pdf

    Your information is old. The highest estimate for Asian-Americans is 105, with most estimates closer to 101-103. In the 70s the black average was about 85, the Asian average was closer to 95. In the 1930s the Asian average was closer to 82. This would show a MOSTLY environmental cause. Genes don't change in a century.

  • @A86

    Enviroment certainly has some impact on Iq

    but, African Americans still have a low iq.

    There is no reason why China is scoring a signficiantly hgiher IQ than African Americans.

    exept genetic factors.

    Chinese even have a genetic mutation on DAB1 which causes larger more developed brains

    So it is not surprising that Chinese are intellectually superior

  • @IKiLLNRapeCOMMUNISTS - 91 is in the average range (average range is 85-115). You're calling average "low"? By your logic your great-grandparents had "low" IQ.

    "There is no reason why China is scoring a signficiantly hgiher IQ than African Americans"

    Urban centers in China are highly educated and literate and China has educated familial castes and clans. Most black Americans are only 3-5 generations literate and many black people come from low-income single parent homes.

  • @A86

    Hello African Americans are living in the U.S.A where they are actually living well off on a global scale.

    Jewish Americans lived inbad ghettos briefly

    but Jewish Americans quickly scored a higher iq, became more rich & educated & started to dominate science for their proportions

    Jews prove it 100 percent.

    Jews are obviously intellectually superior to Black people.

    Anyone whodenies this is a retard or a liar.

  • @IKiLLNRapeCOMMUNISTS - "actually living well off on a global scale"

    Poor minorities in the US are usually worse off than poor whites. Poor minorities in the US often live close to third world standards of living. Chinese cities are not that bad off. China is a fairly decent place to live if you're a middle class or lower middle class citizen in the urban areas. You made it sound like China is Malawi or something.

  • @IKiLLNRapeCOMMUNISTS - "but Jewish Americans quickly scored a higher iq"

    Which would not be an example of genetics. Genetics don't work like that. If it was genetics they would have a high average IQ all along. Again you defeated your point and showed you don't know what you're talking about.

    Also, a demographic having more scientists doesn't mean the people are intellectually superior. Are Germans intellectually superior to white Americans?

  • @IKiLLNRapeCOMMUNISTS - "African Immigrants are mostly the elite upper crust"

    Same with Asian immigrants. Do you think the average Asian immigrant is an uneducated rice farmer pushing a honey wagon? No. The average Asian immigrant was part of the upper middle class or literate educated class in Asia (you do know most Chinese people rudimentary educated farmers?).

    Now we're getting somewhere. Now we're getting to the heart of why the Asian-American average IQ is higher.

  • @A86

    it is not just Asian Americans.

    Asian Americans are actually scoring similar high Iq's to North East Asian nations

    including China which has had alot of poverty & problems.

  • @IKiLLNRapeCOMMUNISTS - Only for Japan and S. Korea which are highly educated societies. The estimates from China mostly come from educated middle class urban dwellers. The estimates for rice farmers is significantly different. The same goes for other places with highly educated middle class populations.

  • @A86

    the Middle class of China is actually living below most African Americans

    African Americans in poverty likely have better oppurtunity than the average Chinese person in Shanghai

    Chinese cities are very very expensive

    some data shows Shanghai is more expensive than New York City

    yet, Shanghai has a signfiicantly lower income level.

  • @IKiLLNRapeCOMMUNISTS - "the Middle class of China is actually living below most African Americans"

    1) According to whom? 2) Family literacy, lifestyles, nutrition and educational quality have more effect on IQ than standards of living. For example, a black kid raised in a middle class black household usually grows to have a lower IQ than a black kid adopted into a middle class white household. The IQ divergences start around middle school.

  • @A86

    If Chinese were scoring a lower iq

    People would just blame the terrible enviroment Chinese have been through

    but, since Chinese do score well in Iq & on test scores

    then Liberals just lookfor other means of denial

    Poor White & Asian Americans do better on the SAT test than do Upper Middle class Blacks

    With WHites & Asians coming from families making less than 10,000 a year doing better on the SAT tests than Blacks coming from families making more than 100,000 a year

  • @IKiLLNRapeCOMMUNISTS - "If Chinese were scoring a lower iq

    People would just blame the terrible enviroment Chinese have been through"

    That would explain the lower IQs of Chinese immigrants from the turn of the century. They were less educated than immigrants of today from China.

    "Poor White & Asian Americans do better on the SAT" And middle class African immigrants do better than upper middle class white kids on the SAT. Perhaps culture plays a role here? Just perhaps?

  • @A86

    Ashkenazi Jews have done extremely well in scientific fields no matter what poverty they have lived in

    I am Polish American.

    I know that some of our best inventions came when we were opressed.

    Like Ignacy Lukasiewicz who invented the Oil Refinery, Oil wells, Oil distallation process, Kerosene lamp

    He was living in Galicia the worst & more opresed region of Poland

    where Austrians treated Polish people horrible

    No, it is no excuse for Blacks failures

  • @IKiLLNRapeCOMMUNISTS - There weren't too many Ashkenazi Jewish scientists prior to the past 200 years or so. Perhaps the ability of more Jewish people to go to college has something to do with it? Or perhaps the fact that Jews in Europe were heavily restricted to certain fields of work, often in the scientific, financial or intellectual field?

    "Blacks failures"

    How does a few points lower score = failure?

  • @IKiLLNRapeCOMMUNISTS - Especially considering that prior to 1960 more than 2% of American inventors were black while only about 2-3% of black Americans (or 5% in more well-to-do areas) attended college.

  • @A86

    The gap of the SAT of Blacks has only widened.

    Blacks are actually going further & further behind Whites in SAT tests in the past 20 years or so

    Oh, yeah it must be enviroment, opression & racism.

  • @IKiLLNRapeCOMMUNISTS - No clue what you're talking about here:

    (.) huppi (.) com / kangaroo /L - sat (.) htm

    SAT scores for all ethnic groups in general have increased. Though certain demographics have experienced losses in recent years (such as some cities). See Simpson's Paradox.

  • @A86

    The data I have shows that

    Whites in 1988 had a 1036 SAT score

    Whites in 2005 had a 1068 SAT score

    Blacks in 1988 had a 847 SAT score

    Blacks in 2005 had a 864 SAT score

  • @IKiLLNRapeCOMMUNISTS - Hint, hint: Showing two random years doesn't tell you anything. To establish a trend you have to show ALL the years. The scores go up and down every year. The question is is there an upward or downward trend amongst the scores fluctuating every year.

  • @A86

    The data I have shows the overall trend.

    That Blacks are indeed starting to lag Whites a little in SAT scores.

    Yes, I know IQ tests & SAT tests are different.

  • @IKiLLNRapeCOMMUNISTS - "The data I have shows the overall trend"

    Hint: Two random years is not a trend. Using your logic the US is doing very well because our GDP in 2005 was much higher than it was in 1988.

  • @IKiLLNRapeCOMMUNISTS - Also, SAT tests are not IQ tests. They test things related to education level.

  • @IKiLLNRapeCOMMUNISTS - This isn't a trend either but this is the info I found:

    (.) infoplease (.) com / ipa / A0883611 (.) html

    If you notice Asian kids score lower than white kids in Reading despite scoring higher overall.

  • @A86

    It is not surprising that Asians are scoring lower in reading than Whites.

    since a disproportionate amount of Asians come from Immigrant families compared to Whites.

    Asians seem to generally be more left brained.

  • @IKiLLNRapeCOMMUNISTS - The same reason Hispanics and blacks score lower - many come from semi-literate families.

    "Asians seem to generally be more left brained"

    According to whom?

  • @A86

    Blacks & Latinos for generations score lower.

    Asians do very well in Math a  more left brained activity.

  • @IKiLLNRapeCOMMUNISTS - As has everyone else who climbed the SAT ladder.

    "Asians do very well in Math"

    Because a lot of their parents fucking disown them if they don't. A lot of non-Asian parents care less about education. Or at least about making high scores and grades.

  • @A86

    Why do Asians have a educated oriented society?

    wouldn't smart people tend to value education & intelligence more than stupid people?

    alot of stupid people get frustrated because they are stupid & become very anti intellectual.

  • @IKiLLNRapeCOMMUNISTS - Same reason African immigrants have an education-oriented society. Because those demographics are from the educated literati of their homelands.

    "wouldn't smart people tend to value education & intelligence more"

    Not necessarily. Many smart people aren't particularly educated.

    You should also be wary of calling others "stupid" given your pervasive spelling and grammatical errors. It doesn't look becoming of someone who considers themself "smart".

  • @A86

    Yeah but, even Asian Americans are scoring similar IQ's & test scores than to Asians in their home countries.

    Africa scores a 67 iq average.

    That, is a huge difference.

  • @IKiLLNRapeCOMMUNISTS - Most Asian Americans aren't Japanese. The majority of Asian-Americans are Chinese, India or of SE Asian descent. India has an estimated national IQ average of around 84 or 85 and it's similar for many SE Asian countries and rural China. Most Asian-Americans aren't from the rural background of those countries.

    The average African nation scores an 82 average:

    dx (.) doi (.) org / 10 (.) 1016 / j (.) intell (.) 2009 (.) 05 (.) 002

    Similar to India.

  • @A86

    Asian Indians are actually the most successful Asians

    But, Asian Indian Americans especially tend to come from the Elite.

    Chinese Americans are scoring IQ's & test scores similar to China

  • @IKiLLNRapeCOMMUNISTS - Gotta get some shut-eye.

  • @A86

    Not exactly White Americans who are poor often liver in rural poverty.

    Where they are very very far off from things like Libraries & Schools

    Where they are very very far off from things like Food pantries.

    In places like New York City & Chicago where alot of Blacks & Latinso live they are often so close to Libraries, Schools & Food Pantries

    they can even go to many food pantries because there are so many of them.

    It is very different in Rural poverty.

  • @IKiLLNRapeCOMMUNISTS - Look at the income graphs of white and black Americans. There are significantly more black Americans per capita who earn under $15,000/year than white Americans.

    "far off from things like Libraries & Schools"

    WTF? Most rural communities in the US have libraries or at least schools. This isn't the 1700s. Rural communities often have better schools than urban areas which often have crumbling derelicts for schools with teachers playing babysitter.

  • @A86

    Rural whites in poverty may have to drive like 20 minutes to an hour to get to a  Library or School.

    While often time Blacks in inner city poverty are like 5 minute walk from a Library or School

  • @psykosomatiq just because there has been one black president doesn't mean you are superior... and There are far more white citizens in positions of authority bitch suck it up and be jealous :)

  • @IKILLNRAPE COMMUNIST coming from someone with a disgusting username followed by a stupid racist mantra, any respectable individual. You named two black individuals.... TWO!!!!! What about Fredrick Douglas, W.E.B Dubois, Malcolm X Dr. Martin Luther King? Whites intellectually superior? Yeah sure

  • @psykosomatiq

    What does Malxm Xhave to do with Intellectual superiority?

    The dumb bastard became a Muslim

    when Muslims were the number 1 slave traders of African people

    With most slaves Europeans got were traded from Muslims

  • Comment removed

  • @IKiLLNRapeCOMMUNISTS watching gay porn all day dosnt count as research

  • Well said Cenk. The main difference between MLK and X was 1 choose the non-voilent approach the other didn't. I think the best approach is in the middle. As far as the Democratic party their the moderates now, the Green Party are the liberals. Lastly, black unemployment #s have been misleading since the 80s. There is a sector in the black community work but do so under the radar

  • And three, telling people you did research means shit. You destroyed your credibility of the slaves being intellectually superior when a racist society forbade it. African-Americans like other minorities have contributed and continue to contribute to society today.

  • @psykosomatiq

    Credibility?

    Even the liberal anti racist African American history shows that Daniel Hale Willians & George Washington Carver are the 2 most Intelligent Blacks of America.

    Blacks fail because they are generally intellectually inferior

    Blacks have a natural selection more geared towards the physical.

    While Assians have a natural selection more geared towards the intellectual.

  • Like I said don't smear an entire ethnic group of what you see on television or even where you live. There are tens of millions of African Americans. That accounts for tens of millions of unique personalities and varying circumstances. You can't say "All blacks are doing bad because, look at rap or poverty." For one, don't assume all people of the same ethnic group have the same genre of music and two, understand the historical dynamics of poverty stricken ethnic communities

  • Wait you said "the most intellectually superior blacks were around slavery?" Then you justify this by comparing the digression of music of today? Dude slaves were not allowed to read or write. Any black inventors or progressives were in post-slavery dude before you tell people to do their research do yours

  • @WhyMeMoFo Depends on the method and sample group and methods. Every study I'e seen has had the cheating rate for men being about twice that as the rate for women. Must admit I've never seen a study done in France though.

  • Only six or seven, so it's hard to convince people that they cause all the nations problems

  • plagiarized butthurt commie, fuck MLK, took credit for work REAL Civil Rights leaders did

  • If MLK were alive today he'd reem the hell out of Obama.

  • @MrHav1k Well...its not the "booty shaking" part that's the actual problem. Highlight and glamorizing of "thug life" and causing others pain in order to seem "hard" (and other such things) are the true problem

  • @UncontestedTruth. MrHav1k is an insignificant 19 year old little boy.

  • That's is the single best thing about the occupy movement. There is no figurehead for the government to kill in order to stop the movement

  • I swear all of you are the most ignorant people on the planet. THERE IS NO FUCKING WAY to reason with people who think booty shaking videos aren't hurting the Black community. You're all fucking retarded.

  • Seriously, the U.S far-right is a fucked up unique heap of uneducated illiterate shit.

    .

    By all contemporary standards, with all established political measurements and with the Southern strategy in consideration, Martin Luther King was lightyears from the present-day U.S-Republican clownfest.

    .

    Ignore the Southern strategy all you want, ignorance and fulfilling the expectations of plain stupidity and then hide behind it is all the U.S clown-right can do.

  • @xxdonaldqxxx Uh huh. Because believing everyone should have equal rights is "marxism." That's why he used his nonviolent methods to call for a violent overthrow of government.... Wait....

  • MLK- "I hope this letter finds you strong in the faith. I also hope that circumstances will soon make it possible for me to meet each of you, not as an integrationist or a civil rights leader but as a fellow clergyman and a Christian brother.Let us all hope that the dark clouds of racial prejudice will soon pass away and the deep fog of misunderstanding will be lifted from our fear-drenched communities

  • what should we do about this

  • Stats and quotes and a cheap shot at President Obama at 5:05. Cenk the Sucker has no idea of what is plaguing the Black community. It's the culture you idiot. The garbage that kids listen to and the negative images seen on screen have steered generations of my people into darkness and ignorance. President Obama is a positive role model for black men as is his wife for black women, but punks like Cenk like to take cheap shots at him instead of giving him respect he deserves. Cenk has sunk. Idiot.

  • Look at Cenk trying to be all historical reciting MLK's quotes when in other videos this asshole is mocking other people's accents. Get out of here you hypocrite. smh

  • @EdgarD8387

    ..er.. how are accents relevant to MLK?

  • I'm glad TYT did a revisit on mLK's quotes.

  • is anyone else getting sick of these comments saying shit like "oh i like this kind of music and I'm only 12!!!" or "I support this black person, and I'm white!!!" Good for you? You want a fucking medal for having an opinion along with an age or ethnicity

  • @petkaumichael haha yeah i hate that shit.

  • FoxNews is a terrorist network, they cause the wars in the world by brainwashing its viewers and these people vote for warmongers supported by corporations. They bring the people in key government positions and these people start wars

  • @TurkiyeCumhurbaskani TYT also misleads just like Fox news which really pissed me off cause I though they would show the truth not just be a mouthpiece to their party. Look at the MLK and abortion. Very misleading if you do some research. MLK and all his associates where anti-abortion but pro birth control. TYT just like Fox just shows their viewers what they want to hear.

  • @AlexSpartan You would be hard pressed to find a more fair and balanced reporter than Cenk, especially in the U.S. No news network is without any kind of bias and of course they want to please their audience, that's just common sense.

  • @zebbedi No not Bias but misleading and giving false information. On MLK and abortion they said he was pro choice. Preacher 1960's pro choice did not make sense so I did a little research. Total lie. Planned parenthood at the time was anti-abortion. All of MLKs associates where all anti-abortion. MLK was pro birth control but anti abortion. Total lie from this network. No excuse for that.

  • @AlexSpartan You yourself have just admitted that it is a grey area and now you are lambasting TYT for what is a minor discrepancy.

  • @zebbedi Not a gray area. Do a search yourself. MLK and Abortion. Documents are there too. Even though I'm more liberal than anything. No person should stand for the misleading information of any news organization. Especially one that complains about other news organizations doing so. If you are truly a democrat you would demand the truth from everyone not just the opposition. Or else there is no difference between two mindless followers of party politics.

  • @AlexSpartan You are making a mountain out of a mole hill. I'm not sure why you are crusading so hard over a trivial error.

  • /watch?v=5FIs0W_Vnng

  • In addition if you are that influenced by media and project the image of the failures of various ethnic communities as the sum of all, you must be damn gullible. I am African-American a graduate student and I work. All I own I earned. I transcended stereotypes attributed to me and of course whites today still continuebto stereotype. I pay taxes and everything and of course whites still stereotype me. Some whites today still do not want to hear MLK's message

  • Wait so someone replies to me and say "blacks are worse off than before?" Um, Jim Crow, anti-segregation, slavery, equal rights, voting rights, integrated schools, jobs, etc are a non factor now. Blacks have been doctors, lawyers, judges, professors, all contributing to US so um what world are you living in?

  • @psykosomatiq

    The most Intellectually superior Black Americans were born during slave times like Daniel Hale Williams & George Washington Carver.

    Black music peaked with Jazz & Blues'

    ironically at the same time as the KKK peaked in numbers

    Black music pretty much ended with Jimi Hendrix who grew up Pre civil rights

    then Black music fell into Crap Rap

    the Black unemployment rate was 8.2 % vs 5.7 % total pop in 1963

    now Black unemployment is 16.7% vs 8.5 %

    Blacks are worse

  • @IKiLLNRapeCOMMUNISTS

    You do realize that intelligence was culled out of the black community during slavery. Blacks were culled like animals. Strength was the desired trait. In addition, learning to read was forbidden. So, for centuries, blacks were denied education and any intelligent/rebellious slave was killed or sterilized. African Americans were dealt a bad hand, but it has nothing to do with innate genetic predisposition.

  • @ChomskyandCheetos

    So, why were the most Intelligent Blacks born in Slave times like Daniel Hale WIlliams & George Washington Carver?

    It has been nearly 50 years since civil rights.

    Jews also faced mass opression.

    Yet, Jews are still very smart.

    Why can't Blacks ?

    Simple, Blacks tend to be a more physically adapted people but less intellectually adapted people

  • "The American dream is apparently stronger in Europe and Canada". LOL!

  • LOL Cenk.

    "the american dream is stronger is Europe and Canada."

  • MLK wasn't a politician, Cenk. It is totally not fair to compare him with pols. Wtf.

  • Wow, you guys are thumbing up MrHav1k? He's the biggest troll on here.

  • The only policy that has any hope of quickly reducing unemployment is a Job Guarantee.

    See the Centre for Full Employment & Price Stability.

  • Never mind what Rush or Fox News would say! Let talk about what Ron Paul or any other the republican candidates would say!

  • Oh my..are we not all humans,those that do not believe that our government and others in breed racism through hate need to wake up! Take a look at the war in Iraq..Americans were so filled with hate through fear mongering we (myself not included) were ok with torture, we stood silently for the patriot act, as long as we hate each other we will never unite as one powerful voice ...a voice of freedom and equality for all humans.

  • Martin Luter King was the greatest american EVER. And I'm God damn white, just to clarify.

  • @ffdssdfgcbg No hes not because he believes in imaginary things like Jesus. I'm sorry but Carl Sagan > MLK.

  • @ffdssdfgcbg Martin Luther King was a phony.He plagiarized most of his speeches and was nothing but prop for Marxist. He also had a proclivity for white prostitutes."The Greatest American ever?" What a joke ! What the hell did he ever accomplish? King never worked a day in his life." And I'm God damn white, just to clarify." BIG DEAL ! You are a white mans version of an uncle Tom and have been programmed your entire life to make kiss up comments like the one you posted here.

  • @xxdonaldqxxx I'm also a marxist that makes him even better.

  • @ffdssdfgcbg Fuck you and the rest of those losers who are Marxist. Marxism has caused nothing but misery throughout the world and it's followers are nothing but envious dirt bags.

  • @xxdonaldqxxx

    It should be noted that Marxism is a philosophical system of historical analysis and therefore can't really "cause" anything to happen, nor does anything Marx wrote lend to "misery throughout the world" or even to "followers", much less envy, or dirt-baggery.

  • @dmiller185

    Marxism has influenced mass misery on the planet.

    Marxism is a failed philosophy

    it can not be achieved on a Government scale without failure.

  • @IKiLLNRapeCOMMUNISTS

    Marxism is an analytical framework - a way of conceiving of the character of human history. It can only fail in the sense that its analysis is wrong, which it isn't. I'm not sure what you mean by "influenced mass misery", and Marxism isn't a thing to be achieved.

  • @dmiller185

    Marxism fails on a government level.

    Because you can not force an equality system without an opressive government

    because class system is natural.

    you will always have a farmer who grows more food & has more food to trade or sell for more wealth

    How can you stop that? with opression

    as Soviets did by opressing the Kulak Farmers

    which lead to mass starvation.

    Communism sucks because it destroys those who push society forward.

  • @IKiLLNRapeCOMMUNISTS

    You don't seem to know enough about Marx's works to have a substantial conversation about Marxism, and I don't think that Youtube is the place to have this conversation as it requires more space to attend to than the space Youtube permits. You've had the last word.

  • @dmiller185

    Marxism is about a classlss & stateless society.

    How can you have a classless equality society?

    if it is stateless a
