Jon Stewart Turns Donald Trump’s Accusation Into An Indictment Of GOP Racism
Here is the video from The Daily Show:
Stewart said, “I’ve taken criticism before. I’ve been called racist, stupid, an a**hole, but this one hurts because of how much I respect Donald Trump. He is a sophisticated man. Did you know he eats pizza with a fork? And as to the charges of whether I was being racist, it turns out Donald Trump is in a unique position to judge me.”
Stewart played tape of Trump saying, “I have a great relationship with the blacks. I’ve always had a great relationship with the blacks.” Stewart continued, “This is a man who has a great relationship with the blacks. Clearly one of the blacks, utilizing this great relationship with Trump, called to complain. Mr. Trump, one of the blacks is on the line. Put them through. Tell Donny Deutsch, I’ll talk to him later. I got a great relationship with these people, the blacks. Put them through. And to Trump’s credit, unlike some people, he doesn’t distinguish what type of the blacks he has a great relationship with. This led in to video of Ann Coulter claiming that “Our blacks are better than their blacks.”
Jon Stewart showed the mainstream media how they should have treated Trump last spring, and how they should always treat him every time he pops up looking for attention. Jon Stewart treated Donald Trump like the buffoon that he is. By attacking Stewart Trump was trying to get himself back into the headlines, and create a diversion to get the media attention off of Herman Cain. (Trump is one of the numerous Republicans who aren’t impressed with Mitt Romney).
What Donald Trump apparently didn’t count on was the fact that Jon Stewart would devote less than five minutes of airtime to his attack, and that Jon Stewart would reply to Trump by pulling out the big gun. When Stewart played Trump’s comments about “the blacks” that pretty much ended any potential good publicity that Donald Trump was going to get out of this, and The Daily Show didn’t even have to use the rest of Trump’s comments blaming “the blacks” for Obama’s election.
Jon Stewart treated Trump like the joke that he is. Instead of being put on defensive by The Donald’s nonsensical rant, Stewart used it as opening to highlight the racism of the same people who are trying to defend Herman Cain by labeling anyone who dares to critically think about Cain’s ever changing sexual harassment story, a racist.
Stewart turned the tables on Donald Trump, Ann Coulter, and rest of the Cain apologists who are crying liberal racism. Once again, it takes a comedian on a fake news show to point out to the American people what is really going on.

Donald Trump, Herman Cain and Coulter are all of the same breed…..extremists needing massive attention at all times even when it’s horrible and they could care less about the good of the US other than it’s usage to sell their books and give them fame and fortune. Right on Jon Stewart to tell it like it is while laughing in their faces!!! Too bad our main stream media feel the need to give them so much power and air time for their inflammatory rhetoric!

It wasn’t funny, I was not laughing with the audience. I understand the point but it sounded more like a commentary of complaint then a joke. We do indeed have a problem but it makes me wonder. How many of the darker races were laughing at this joke. No one ever listens to me, no matter what they do not even respond. There is no major race in the USA a melting pot. If we are called a race it is that most of us are Mulatto. WE ARE FOR THE MOST PART ALL MULATTO GET WITH THE PROGRAM. I bet even Herman Cain has white in him so he is MULATTO. Some people who think they are white are really MULATTO. Your Parents kept it a secret you foools!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Despite the fact you are having difficulty in getting your point across and have to call people fools, I will bolster your argument with the following information.
If you go back 30 generations, you have 1,073,741,824 ancestors. That represents 750 years of starting out with your two parents. both of your parents had two parents which equals four. That is a 50 year representation. If you multiply it out the number right gave you is what t you get in 750 years. I defy any racist to try and prove that his family blood line is pure.
However not all of that really matters. You are what you are due to a certain amount of hereditary traits and a great deal of what you’re to parents were. If both of your parents were Italian, you would inherit dark eyes and dark hair until your blood line is washed out by marriage outside of the Italian line. so even if a goodly number of your ancestry were black, Italian, Arabic or any of the races with darker eyes, skin and hair 20 generations ago it would probably not affect you today. So you may are may not be mulatto. It is not clearly defined how many generations you can go back and still pick up your original bloodlines. a good example of that is when an Asian person and a Caucasian person have children. In general the children pick up the mother’s traits if she is the Asian. However when the children have children the Asian traits began to disappear quite quickly with only occasional throwbacks throughout the generations
Scary thought for the racists, you may be part black or Jewish!
also to note, out of those 1,073,741,824 people, there are branches to a vast number of families. This is the best example that we are all tied together as a family regardless of color creed and almost religion
also by the way, 36 generations equals 68,719,476,736 ancestors

If you go back far enough white Europeans ancestors were once “black.” Africa is the birthplace of anatomically modern humans. This is proven by a mountain of DNA and archeological evidence.
Africans migrated through Europe and the near and far east thousands of years ago. As they settled into certain parts of the world their descendents developed superficial adaptions to the climate and environment over time, like melanin content in their skin, smaller body size, larger body size etc. They also passed on inherited facial characteristics and features.
So, there really is no such thing as “race.” Even cultural identity and ethnicity are constantly adapting and changing.
We really are all brothers and sisters under the skin.
and Africans under the skin as well.

I have read some info like that, there are separate theories that whites and blacks are separate while close enough to be similar, whites and blacks are exactly as you say etc etc. I think time will tell us exactly who we are no matter what color. But my main point was that even if we are all black at one time, that has been washed from everyone’s blood simply because DNA doesn’t run true over millions of years.

I just love the way Stewart exposes these folks for the horses’ asses they are. For people who like to accuse us blacks of playing the “victim” card, they are the ones pretending that Herman Cain is a victim of anything but his own ignorance and lack of integrity. After all the racially charged insults they have hurled at the president, they have absolutely zero credibility on the subject. They like Cain because he shares and validates their warped views on the world and the people in it. By denigrating his own race, he makes them feel comfortable with their low opinions of us. Ann Coulter’s remark that “our blacks are much better than their blacks” is very telling. As for Donald Trump, he is a mental midget who happens to be wealthy and apparently has too much time on his hands. I’m quite sure he’s still smarting from the well-deserved smackdown he got from the White House last summer, so now he has inserted himself into the Cain controversy. The thing is, he is not only not helping Cain but he is also diminishing himself even more.

Hilarious! Especially Ann Coulter. Can is a real American who is blacker than Obama. That is Saturday Night Live stuff. No one could have said that in real life except for Coulter, Hannity or Doocy

How do they forget the vile racial slurs that are still spewed today on FOX and thru LIMBAUGH PALIN BACHMANN, any of them all of them! Bachmann’s policy for presidency is REPEAL OBAMA HEALTHCARE…thats all she’s been saying for how many months now? But not offering one thing to help those people who can’t afford health care. Never ever mentions those folks. None of them do. Yeah I’m jumping up and down. None of these people give us any kind of hope. To hear the women on the right defend Cain and not the sexually harassed women..my Gawd does the right respect anything or anyone? Not even themselves as women? wth kind of people are these? I’m surprised Sarah’s not out there defending Cain. After all she made rape victims pay for their rape kits. Thats defending the rapist in my book. This is the mindset of the women on the right..its just shocking how these women stand up for the GOP men at the expense of women! They really don’t care. No morals. But they are the family values party. Riiiight.

Brilliant. I do think, however, The Daily Show owes an apology to Geraldine Ferraro …

Yeah, I picked up on omitting Ferraro, too. But that’s because the Right’s Round Table female pundits are so much cooler, they actually have the ability to edit the time-stream, so JKinLA, you and I are just hallucinating the past.
