How Liberals Really Feel About Black People
Ami Horowitz wanders into Berkeley, California to ask the question “Do voter id laws suppress the black vote?”. In the interviewees I detect a whiff of white privilege. Then he goes to East Harlem, New York to ask actual, live black people whether they actually carry identification. Hilarity ensues.

Taglomonimous, Six!
Berkeley is full of ignorant racists. They all need remedial sensitivity training, stat!
Thanks for posting. Made me smile.
Thanks I needed a laugh
That’s some of the funniest stuff I’ve seen in a while. Yet another example of the PC petri dish losing touch with reality.
I wonder how the Berkeleyites would have answered that question if the query was posed by a black person?
“Ignorant”
“Very ignorant”
“A little racist”
“Maybe a little racist but it’s more stupidity and ignorance”
Yup, that pretty much describes your average, garden-variety leftist.
Not too different, just a bit less of the “they probably can’t find their way to the DMV.”
You expect them to go to Oakland AND buy their Almond Milk in Soy Packaging?
I’m just trying to imagine me talking to my coworker Jerry like that.
“Jerry, I’m going to the DMV this afternoon. You wouldn’t know about going to the DMV — what with you being black and all. Try not to break the internet while I’m gone.”
He’d throw a multimeter at me or something.
Hilarious. White liberals think we’re living in Mississippi in 1957. Or should I say they wish we were. Who’s more racist than a white liberal?
Ha! Racist is as racist does.
The funny thing is that that DMV was where I took my driving exam. I got a little lost trying, and guess who gave me directions, it was a black guy (in Harlem, shocking I know)! I am genuinely flummoxed by these people
I’ve posed this to my daughter (who was attending CU Boulder until this school year) and she said that it wasn’t about sophisticated blacks in NYC, but the rural blacks in Mississippi and Florida who would be disenfranchised by voter ID laws.
Duck and misdirect.
The thing is that deep down they want to believe all blacks are still living in rural Mississippi in the 1950s. When we actually do make progress, they’re disappointed because now how will they show the world how shiny their liberal credentials are? So when things are doing fine, they stir up racial enmity and open old wounds so they can “rescue” the black people who never asked to be rescued by them. They do so much damage. They make me sick.
I love Berkeley. Its the one place where I get to tell White people to get a damn job. In all seriousness, I applied to the UC system, Yale, Cornell, and UT. Visiting campuses, UC Berkeley makes Yale look like a 2 Live Crew video. Thank God I went to UT.
Yeah, and you’d deserve it. How come no one ever throws multimeters (or something heavier like a ‘scope) at those ignorant leftists?
I threw a multimeter at a bassist for talking smack while I was changing his pick-ups. Nice big 1000v one too.
Ha ha. I felt like the white folks stopped just short of saying “you people.”
These are supposed to be the people who aren’t racist; not really racist, but in their ignorance, they make white people seem a little bit racist. Great video. A white guy goes to Harlem and starts out sharing how ignorant some white liberals are. Maybe if we keep having these conversations between the races, maybe we’ll really start communicating. But if I was a black person seeing how self-important white liberals think of black people, I sure wouldn’t trust them to run the government.
Superb. Thanks for sharing!
I hope this video is on Facebook somewhere. (Not that it’d last more than 20 minutes)
The racism of lowered expectations is very real among white Leftists. And it’s a little scary to hear them say aloud what is hiding in their hearts. Fortunately, none of the Berkley folks had Southern accents, so that means that can’t be real racists.
Ok, I’ve lived my life in many White academic settings and kept my benevolence with one rule: never attribute to racism what can be explained by sheer stupidity. These are indoctrinated youth, not malicious race haters.
Magnificent. May some political party of the (hopefully not all that distant) future find an articulate, thoughtful, effective spokesperson who can carry this message to all.
Like Allen West?
Dennis Prager featured it on Facebook. I just wish that it were not titled the way it is, “How liberals feel about….” It would get much more traction if it were generically titled. I’d love to sneak it up on people.
SOOOO Hilarious. There is no creature less self aware than a liberal. lol
To be “fair,” I do think Ami should take this to Appalachia, rural Mississippi or Georgia , a reservation or two. Ask the same questions regardless of ethnicity and income.
I mentioned the video to a staunch Dem acquaintance. She rolled her eyes at how misinformed the Cal students are. . .
and they vote.
