  • Daniel Hamermesh is my grandfather!!!!

  • @Fettman501 Oh boo hoo hoo, your mother can't find work and all of the minorities have so many advantages because of their skin color.

  • affirmative action: how blacks, mexicans, and other 'non-whites' get exclusive benefits for skin color ALONE

    'ugly' affirmative action: how 'ugly' people get benefits for being 'ugly'

    one would have to be an ugly minority to benefit. what about whites? my mom can't find work despite her work experience, but a native american/mexican/black can get $300,000 of scholarships for skin color alone? is that fair? i'm not racist, i'm about EQUAL opportunity. and white affirmative action is racist...

  • @WOOHOJEHA deeds?

  • Ugly people usually have LOTS of confidence. Especially overweight Black chicks (sorry, but it's the truth) & don't let her have a handsome husband...she'll think she's on Halle Berry status. I believe in compatibility to the fullest. And there are some folks in over their heads, dating & marrying folks out of their league. When I witness that, I think, 'Ok, somebody makes more money than the other or it was cheaper to keep her. Voodoo/witchcaft wouldn't be too far fetched either. LOL!~

  • @rainxinxblack21 if you think you an entry level job will help you afford plastic surgery, you are a moron.

  • They can start w/ the Turks...

  • HAHAHAHAHAH ahhhh this video is funny xD those "ugly people" need to go get money and get plastic surgery done on them if they want "affimative action" jeez making the government do shit for them is like asking for a handout. fuck they lazy ppl.

  • at the very beginning on 0:00 Cenk looks like a hung over owl.
