I keep wondering if people like him are considered racist when I certainly would be. I agree with all he says but since I have been kept from using some of the words he uses I don't go there. So much of what he says is so very true, especially about the slaves.

Yes, he's a racist.
Racists come in all colors and levels of abject idiocy.

Is it his dislike of Obama that makes him a racist? It sure is for me but then lefties can't handle my dislike as being anything but color oriented.

Racism aside, that guy certainly captivates your attention. I'm going to invoke the convenient liberal racism gray area and cut this guy a break.

I think he is among some of the very few minorities who understand this synthetically-created institution that is "professional victim-hood", and he makes some very valid points. I'm not even sure how one would go about objectively disputing his entire narrative.

I mean, the numbers speak for themselves. Never, at any time in the history of the US, has the government advocated for an increased enrollment of members to a welfare program (foodstamps) for a demographic of people who are able to work and care for their family. Poverty is at or near an all-time high. Unemployed minorities is at a per-capita all-time high. Expendable income for minorities is at an modern-time low. Welfare recipient minorities is at an all-time high.

Truth be told, there is no upward mobility for anyone not willing to work, and that includes the alarming rate of whites who are receiving welfare, too.

No, he isn't racist. If you listen to what he says instead of just going off a kneejerk leftist reaction you will notice that he is talking to a particular set of people based on their behavior, not based on their race. He isn't speaking to black people. He's speaking to black people who vote Democrat because they swallow leftist propaganda without researching the facts. If you're a black Republican, he isn't talking to you. If you're a black Democrat who votes based on the issues, he isn't talking to you.

No, his assumption that 95% of black people are too stupid to vote for Obama for any other reason than they expect free handouts.

If he's basing it on their behavior, then what does 'black' have to do with it?

Do you truly believe that 95% of black voters educated themselves on the "issues"? I think the man has a valid point.

I also think that if any of us truly knew this man, we would find out that he probably militantly hates whites, and this rhetoric is deriving from a deep down frustration with the degradation of black culture since the 50's, and the lack of participation on behalf of black voters beyond simply showing up at the polls and blindly voting for an individual solely based upon the color of his skin.

Seriously, listen close. At the end, he seems to make his point - instead of government assistance and handouts, he advocates personal responsibility.

That is a lesson every lazy American should learn, they come in all colors.

The man isn't identified and he's wearing a disguise, and I'm not inclined to watch more than 2 minutes of his political speach. Obviously, he's entitled to his opinion, even if it's not based on facts. But if the racists writing about this video on internet forums listen to it carefully, the man takes away from many of their core complaints about President Obama. I view it as a pro Obama opinion, from the standpoint that the President hasn't gone out of his way to favor the African-American community these past 4 years.

If I stated that the white people who voted for Romney did so due to the fact that Romney is white, wouldn't that be a racist statement? Surely white people are smarter than voting for a white man just because he's white, no?
