Stereotypes about white men are quite benign and also very positive when compared to those face by a black or brown man .And in a society that is dominated by white men, stereotypes might be annoying, but they are inconsequential.

[ptsmmrs]

another loooooong reach for racism from these guys.

[1978atcarroll]

is the closed captioning done by a drunk chimpanzee?

[urantivirus]

Pathetic, Cenk. Why are you guys trying to find racism in EVERYTHING? You guys are bringing up racial issues where they don't exist. It's sort of racist of TYT. They discriminating this politician, because he's white, calling him racist. When really all the racial issues, in this case, are at TYT. Good job!

[rudeboy7464]

@ptsmmrs Gotta question Cenk and the crew on this one!! Where the hell did they find racism in the ad!! Come on, I'm black and this is a far reach!! This was a joke right??

[Ranzalove]

In the background you hear a black women singing kinda in a gospel way and you hear the deep drumming. I mean I wouldn't have noticed the background but listening to it closely I can hear something loool =P

[vaux991]

i dont know how you can call that racism, it would probably be the same music with a white man if he that was his main competition, the idea is to put him in the bad light, whether they are black, white or asian. stop hunting for racism in places you cant find it, other wise your just adding to it and making it a worse fucking thing.

[porta20]

that fat fag makes me so eager to smack his freaking ugly face!!!

[gregwi562]

@shaddowmoses91 Sounds like you are quite adept at buying into all the stereotypes. Well, it is easier than getting information, getting to know people (black pple specifically), & formulating an informed opinion. Let's face it: we all are capable of succeeding in this country & that's part of what makes this a great country. But it is a lie and a delusional fallacy to believe that everyone has the same opportunity to succeed. A lot of people, not just black people, have larger hurdles to clear

[shaddowmoses91]

@gregwi562 black ppl are there own worst enemy, like i said above nothing is holding them back from doing good in the world. it just seems engraved in there culture, at least with those who live in the city tht if you want to do good in life such as go to college nd get a normal job, you are considered a sellout, "your on tht whiteboy sht" and tht right there is there problem and can only be solved by themselves

[shaddowmoses91]

@gregwi562 dominated by white men? are president is black dickhead, but i guess tht still isnt enough for black ppl, in todays world, at least to me at seems as if minorites have all the unnecesary advantages tht whites do not nd its bullsht...i recently got my ged nd plan on goin to college, there is no scholarships for white ppl wit GEDS but on the other hand, black scholarships alot of them at least cator to ged receipents if they are black..blacks have just as much,if not more oppurtunities

[ovensleeper]

This isn't racism. The young turks hate conservatives so much that they stretch things like this to prove invalid points.
