Asked about NFL players taking a knee during the national anthem, Beto O'Rourke (Ted Cruz's challenger) launches into sustained grand oratory.



This video has gone viral, as NBC news says:
The video of his response, posted by the news site NowThis, has since garnered 11 million views and more than 300,000 shares on Facebook as of Thursday morning.
This video isn't just getting views, it's garnering views. So put that in your garner — a storehouse for corn — and keep it.

So Crack says all white people are liars to the core, they are Nazi's and evil. Then he says we white people are all racist. Then he says why focus on South Africa where blacks are murdering white people... don't blame him for that, he says. Then he says "It's a great idea, though, isn't it?"

Then he demands that we give him money forever. Why? Because we owe him money. All white people, including and especially the ones who fought and died to free his sorry ancestors, who no doubt would be mortified at his actions.

You are the worst racist on this blog, Crack. Even more than Ritmo. Even assuming white people should feel some sort of guilt, why on earth should we give you money to enable racist you? You are the same kind of black person that plays the Knockout game... I notice you never, ever condemn that, do you? Black people hunting and killing people because of their race... and you demand reparations?

If america is so horrible, and we white Americans are so bad... then leave. Go back to Africa, where you can wallow in your misery there. You want reparations, well, Johnston's "Great Society" was the reparations, and too bad, so sad for you--that's enough money given to black people as reparations.

You give it away with the "It's racist to expect black people to get a job!" You are a racist against blacks for claiming they cannot work! Work is a good thing, it's a noble and uplifting thing! It provides a sense of accomplishment; of self worth, of a job well done. Instead, you want black people in idleness and filthy squalor, dependent on the generosity and giving nature of a people you hate. Real smart, Crack... what happens when we white people get tired of blacks murdering whites on racist grounds that you support? What happens when we decide we aren't going to give in like South Africa? Keep calling us Nazis and criminals and everything else you have called us-- why shouldn't we act like it if you think we are that way? Hey, if you leftists keep calling us Nazi no matter what, then why not act like it, eh?

I'm sure you wouldn't mind if we really did start acting like what you call us, right? Wouldn't want to disappoint you!

Crack isn't black. You guys know that right?

He's a progressive old white guy carrying the burden.

No self respecting black man would say "My GOD, YOU ARE DUMB!!!".

You're probably right, Chest. We've been duped. Except for you.

Are you saying that The Homeless Man's Jesse Jackson is really more like the Homeless Man's Shaun King? A Talcum X fraud equivalent to our very own lifelong republican?

The plot thickens.

Crack: "Let whites get massacred in SA. I don't care. It's good American whites can see what would happen if they were in a position to be punished for their crimes."

Really? What are my crimes? I used to prosecute black men for "massacring" other black men. Does that qualify?

Is it good to learn that blacks in the majority are/would be as benevolent as 21st century whites. (sarc) Thanks for that, Crack.

Apparently Beto comes with a piano player stuck up his ass. I can see both the good and bad in that.

Qwinn said...

If Crack were actively attempting to retroactively justify not just racism but the enslavement of blacks, I don't think he could do a better job. I mean, he's literally admitting that he would enslave and or genocide whites if he could, thereby ceding any and all claim to a higher moral ground, not just to us but even to the slavers themselves.

Not that slavery could actually be justified, of course, but damn if he isn't doing a better job of it than I would have thought possible. It's hard to fathom how that could be an accident, really. I'm really starting to wonder if he isn't a Klansman trying to gin up sympathy among whites for his cause.

Gunner said...

Why aren't the Wokey Wokertons calling him out on "reasonable people may disagree" with him?

Bob Boyd said...

I have always stood for the anthem. That's how I was raised and I like doing it. I like custom.
But I always assumed it was something I was doing voluntarily. If somebody had told me, "Citizen, you must stand!" I wouldn't enjoy it, I probably wouldn't do it, depending on the consequences I suppose. I would resent the anthem and it would represent something else entirely to me than it does now.

mockturtle said...

No, he isn't black. He is a poseur of the racially-appropriating kind. A plague on him and his house.

"While blacks, OTOH, have tripped from success to success, by learning from their previous errors over the centuries, leading their entire continent to unmatched wealth and harmony."

I'll chart the trajectory of billionaire Jay-Z and filmmaker Ice Cube (since they're Americans) as evidence this is true.
*****************
lolz. You make a general assertion about white people in general, and when challenged with evidence that black people in general have not been successful, you cite two blacks in America as a counter.

Not a word about So. Africa and Zimbabwe, except to laughably say you "have nothing to do with Africa"! Yet you continue to claim that whites today have everything to do with slavery, and should pay YOU for it having occurred.

Tell us, genius, what did YOU have to do with slavery? Or are you over 150 years old?

And in other posts you have argued that people like Oprah and other successful American blacks count for NOTHING in demonstrating how far the US has come since the Civil Rights movement.

I'd ask you to make up your mind, but there's little evidence you have one.

In fact, I suspect your secret resentment of successful black Americans helps fuel your obvious self-hatred.

PM said...

Kneeling during the anthem isn't going to damage the NFL. Besides, what's to stop the NFL from stipulating in the next TV contract that broadcasts begin at the coin-toss? End of problem. What's likely to turn off more fans are the new tackling rules.

You're all insane, I tell you. What part of I HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH AFRICA don't you understand? And what part of WHITE PEOPLE DID THAT is a mystery to you?

Let whites get massacred in SA. I don't care. It's good American whites can see what would happen if they were in a position to be punished for their crimes.

Outnumbering people doesn't make anyone great. That's something whites, here, just may soon understand. Lord knows, they never have before.



I blame public education.

I don't think Crack started out as a racist marxist pining for mass murder and race war.

I can't for the life of me remember why he was banned at one point.

Now that you mention it, someone here does sound a lot like a nazi trying to make racial enemies out of groups and justify taking all of their stuff.

Chest Rockwell said...

"Kneeling during the anthem isn't going to damage the NFL."

Of course it will. What's debatable is how much. I prefer college FB myself.

What damage isn't debatable is this. I mean, can you imagine. Your a season ticket holder for decades, you'll weather the kneeling, the player spousal abuse, the concussions etc, but then they gotta bring out a male cheerleader? Fuck that! I'm done!

The Crack Emcee said...

Feelings of social devaluation among African Americans’ linked to belief in conspiracy theories

Now who in America would be devaluing blacks socially? Take a wild guess. Take two. Take all you want.

You'll never guess white folks. I know it.

mockturtle said...

I'm just as turned off the by level of serious injuries in the NFL than by the kneeling, which I abhor. My favorite Seahawk, Kam Chancellor, had the good sense to retire before incurring further, debilitating damage. Good for him! Will still watch some college football and baseball, where the players seem to appreciate their good fortune. Wouldn't it be great if college football were played by genuine students and for the joy of winning rather than looking for pro contracts?

Francisco D said...

I was mostly joking when I said (on another thread) that Crack will eventually admit that he is a White millennial living in Milwaukee, in his mother's basement. Perhaps, I stumbled onto the truth.

Hmmm ... Who does he remind me of?

It is someone who is impossible to reason with, insistent that their views are the only correct ones, seems to fail at logic, and strenuously denies any disconfirming evidence. As they post more comments on a thread, they tend to go over the top.

Assuming that the apple doesn't fall far from the tree ...

Aha!

The Crack Emcee said...

The question should be: How well does Crack take constant heckling from racists?

Then the answer would be: Not well.

But, instead, racists think the question is: How well does Crack handle white people?

That's racists for you.

mockturtle said...

Now who in America would be devaluing blacks socially?

No, Crack. It would be black folks, not white folks.

The Crack Emcee said...

I'm pretty sure football players see it the exact same way.

mockturtle said...

Francisco D. suggests: Hmmm ... Who does he remind me of?

Yes but he is more coherent than Ritmo.

Qwinn said...

Crack continuously informs us of his worldview that includes being happy to see whites in South Africa being slaughtered as an object lesson to whites in the US.

And then he plays victim as he gets "heckled" for no reason whatsoever except racism.

I'm seriously convinced that Crack is either a Klansman trying to create sympathy for his cause, or a black man who is literally by far a worse racist by far than any white person I've ever met. Literally on the level of a Nazi. No Godwin here. He's actively supporting genocide and mass slaughter. What else is required to actually earn the label?

Meanwhile, I haven't heard a single one of the people he's calling Nazis advocate genocide the way he is.

The Crack Emcee said...

mockturtle said...

Now who in America would be devaluing blacks socially?

"No, Crack. It would be black folks, not white folks."

That's funny, because I just took a break from you racists to go hang with my black friends, and you know what DIDN'T come up?

The violence in Chicago, as anything but traditional American gangsterism, as old as the nation itself.

Any talk of leaving "plantations".

Any talk of welfare.

Any talk of black protest as a bad thing.

Any talk of any of the other racist crap your poison minds conjure here.

We did find time to mention how cool the theme to "Knight Rider" was, though. Which means we three were able to compliment whites more than all of your racist asses combined.

And, unlike my time spent here, nobody lied during my entire visit.

buwaya said...

As a writer, Crack is much better tham Ritmo.
I am beginning to think he is yet another avatar of Betamax/Laslo.

But Laslo/Betamax had an endearing silliness and sharp observational humor that is absent in Crack. Perhaps by design?

That said, all of these entities could simply be manifestations of someone truly brilliant. If so, this is an awfully small pond for such a big fish.

mockturtle said...

No, alas, not Laslo. Because 'Lamar-gonna-set-you-straight' had more sense than Crack.

Sheridan said...

No, Buwaya, as others have stated, Crack is just a con. His overwrought and histrionic statements are proof. I might wish he was another avatar of Laslo or Titus for that matter, but he's simply the embodiment of the weaver cons in "The Emperor's New Clothes". And now that he's exposed himself, like the wizard in the Wizard of Oz, he's simply a sad character who's lost the respect of others (including me) and garnered only pity. A lifetime of pity. I hope that's reparation enough as there's nothing else.

Qwinn said...

Hey. Crack, when you were talking to your black friends, did you bring up how whites owe you reparations? Did you bring up how awesome it is that white South Africans are being slaughtered for their land?

If you didn't, it's not a surprise that the other things you mentioned didn't come up either. No cookie for you.

The Crack Emcee said...

I am so glad I don't live in Africa because America is so good to us: Nazi propaganda is being sold at Baltimore’s Penn Station - The Turner Diaries has been linked to over 200 murders.

Qwinn said...

Sorry, Crack, but since I don't live in Baltimore, the only outspoken advocate of genocide I'm aware of are you and some other leftists, and the only race any of those advocate being wiped out is whites. Still doesn't make me ashamed of being American or a "white Hispanic", it just makes me ashamed of you.

Francisco D said...

"Yes but he is more coherent than Ritmo."

I agree. However, I have not seen Ritmo and Crack post on the same thread.

Ritmo on meds= less incoherence?

Kneeling during the anthem isn't going to damage the NFL.

An 18.7 percent drop in the ratings over the last two seasons - and a loss of $600 million in television revenue - disputes that.

Qwinn said...

In what meaningful way would Crack's stated positions differ from a "white supremacist" if you simply substitute white for black?

Exactly. Ritmo completely disappeared within days of Crack reappearing.

'Both' of them can fuck off.

Qwinn said...

I'm still waiting for Crack to name a single black accomplishment that doesnt fall firmly in the category of music or entertainment. And even in those categories, we ain't exactly talking Mozart or Beethoven.

It's funny that I think I could probably name more genuine non-frivolous contributions by blacks to actual civilization than he can.

Gk1 said...

You notice the more the NFL goes "woke" and for lefty pet causes the more college football is going the other way and making damn sure no one takes a shit on the flag because their revenue stream is way more sensitive to alumnae withdrawing their check books and the local tire store disowning a team and advertising dollars. The NFL won't step in until bond issues funding stadiums begins to crater (and all the signs point to yes)

Drago said...

Crack: "I can't see a difference between these guys and many commenters here:"

Yes, I believe that is the point being made.....

And going by your past comments, you are also apparently unable to see the difference between a scout and an Army General.

There appears to be quite a few things that are massively different on every single level yet whose differences are far too subtle for you to perceive.

The Germans have a word for that.

Drago said...

I wonder if Crack ever takes a moment to thank whites for the electricity which powers his machines?

I'm going to go out on a limb and say "no".

What we have here on Althouseblog is a "come to life" scene right out of the The Holy Grail: What have the Romans ever done for us?

We've had them before on other topics ("Where's the fetus going to gestate Stan?!!")

But Cracks are by far the best.

You know what's really funny? When the Crack-prescribed genocide against whites in the US occurs, you just know Crack will totally go quiet and wait for all the "real work" to be done before slinking out to join the victorious mob and pretend he was part of all the hard work.

Regardless of the scenario, Crack will always be Crack.

Drago said...

I can already see Crack, standing before his blood-covered mob buddies, trying to explain why it was that he wasn't around to do his part.

And you know what?

He'll blame whitey!

Myself, I think it'll be more like the 1968 riots in DC after MLK was killed, and a really Righteous Brother was caught by the POH-lice pushing a shopping basket full of loot down the street.

Without missing a beat and with a straight face, he said: "Excuse me, officer...is this the way to the checkout counter?"

Actually, given his jive-ass comments, it coulda been Crack himself!!!

"The violence in Chicago, as anything but traditional American gangsterism, as old as the nation itself."

>>Un huh. It's happening all over America, with whites shooting each other by the thousands each day. snopes says otherwise:

"In 2012 (the latest year for which comprehensive statistics were available both globally and in the U.S.) 14,827 Americans were murdered, according to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). Incidentally, 9,528 of those homicides were carried out with a firearm of some description.

During that year FBI statistics counted 500 murders in Chicago, 386 in Detroit, 193 in New Orleans, and 88 in Washington, D.C. The combined total of homicides in those four cities was 1,167 for that year, or approximately 7.8 percent of all murders that occurred in the United States in 2012."

>>Funny: what do all those cities have in common?

>>More recent data reinforces the point:

>>https://qz.com/1086403/fbi-crime-statistics-us-murders-were-up-in-2016-and-chicago-had-a-lot-to-do-with-it/

>>"The city of Chicago saw 765 murders in 2016, up from 468 in 2015..."

Any talk of leaving "plantations".

>>For good reason...there ARE no more plantations. If you're referring to "urban places where blacks continue to live because on balance they feel they can gain more welfare than be endangered by black-on-black violence", it's no wonder they don't leave.

Any talk of welfare.

>>Uh huh. It's like asking a fish about the ocean: "What ocean"?

William said...

The class system in England used to be pretty harsh. It determined how people judged each other, what they liked, and lots of things that had nothing to do with class. It's still around, but my impression is that it is no longer so harsh and all encompassing. People are judged and evaluated by things other than their class backgrounds........The race system in America is a tad more durable but, over time, also seems to be weakening. I've known a fair number of black people who have joined the hive and have responses and morals that are indistinguishable from their fellow Americans. I don't think they're outliers or Uncle Toms, but are rather the wave of the future. Among certain blacks being too "street" or "ghetto" or "ignorant" will get you more grief from fellow blacks than by "acting white"........I don't know if the story arc of America bends toward justice, but it definitely bends toward homogenization. Among my parents' generation there was quite a lot of conflict between Italians and Irish. Among my generation, those are the people we chose our mates from. I suppose our kids will marry blacks and Hispanics. The Jewish kids are hitting on the Asians.......I don't think that people will get along any better, but they will find things other than race to fight about. Religious and class differences are already somewhat muted.

JAORE said...

"It doesn't get more white American than that. Or Africaans. Or Nazi. "

Me. Crack said that about me!

It hurts. It really hurts.

Well to be honest only my sides hurt.

From laughter.

Crack and his ilk have tossed the race card so often you can't tell if it's a king or queen. So he HAS performed the useful function of devaluing that little trick to near irrelevancy in much of the world.
