Actually, he called Black people "savages", "monkeys", and "slaves". Sounds like self hatred to me. He could have conveyed his messages without calling Black people all of those names.
While I found myself agreeing with his basic message, I am inclined to agree with you there. He a well-spoken man who obviously has a lot to say, he should figure out that he would be taken more seriously without that.
It's not disliking President Obama I have a problem. It is him referring to Black people as "savages" that I have a problem. He is referring to us as "slaves" and "monkeys". That is why I dismiss this person. Using that kind of language will do nothing but alienate Black people.
So you really think that his use of the word savage in this case is so very wrong? I didn't care for that word by him but I did see too much that appeared right in all that he said. I really wonder if he will alienate more than he awakens with his words.

I feel like he hates his own ethnicity. If he disagreed with President Obama and his policies, I feel like he could have said it in a more diplomatic, respectful way. He didn't need to go and call Black people all of those names. Was there not any other way for him to say what he wanted to say? Is he filled with that much hatred for his own ethnicity? What do you think?
Ask yourself this. Why else would he use such offensive terms towards Black people if not out of some hatred?
Seems fairly obvious to me. Out of a desire to be provocative to get attention to what he has to say and also out of a desire to clearly delineate between himself and what sort of people he is referring to despite them sharing skin color. No different than when white liberals make disparaging remarks about rednecks.

The very minute someone calls me a savage, the conversation ends right there. I don't take crap from anyone. And then he goes on to call Black people monkeys and slaves. If someone was talking to me like that, I stop listening. The only think that will do is make me furious.
If he had a message he wanted to get across, he could have done so without the inflammatory words.

When it comes to "rednecks" that refers to a certain subculture of Southern Whites. It isn't about all White people. When it comes to calling people "monkey" or "savage", these are terms used to disparage all Black people.
People seem to be foggy about what is racist. Here someone is hatefully putting people down because of their race, something they had no control of at birth, regardless of his own self hatred. That fits my definition of racism.
However, disagreement with the way a certain group tends to relate to you is not necessarily racist. But it could be a symptom of something just as common in America: Predjudice.

I think he's a pissed off man in general, but this was just one particular diatribe. I do believe this guy has many youtube videos ranting and raving about other things, also.
Does he make some valid point? Yes. But he could be taken more seriously without so much hatred.

Yes, he could have. If he is so certain and proud of his beliefs, why hide behind a Polo knit cap and giant sunglasses? Why use the antiquated term "Negro?" Some people will do anything for money. If you can get people to rent their bodies for an hour or two, why not find someone willing to read a script for a couple of hundred bucks? Just another internet b.s. video, made by someone with an unsavory agenda. Seriously..."I saw it on the internet, so it must be true." People are sooo gullible. He isn't a racist as much as he is a bad actor.
