Anderson Cooper saves Haitian boy from looters

[The Dark Mind]

Sir, Either the local, national and global system of racism/white supremacy exists or not. My position is that it does exist and it dominates all the people relations of all white and non white people. Question: Does racism/white supremacy exist?

Nope. Not in the way you're describing it.

It can't. Simply because for such a system to continue to exist it needs the majority to keep it going.

Period.

You can't have a world in which...

1. People all over the United States vote for and hail the election of a Black man as President of the United States.

2. People all over the United States vote for and hail the election of a Black man as Leader of the free WORLD.

3. People all over the world send aid to black people in Haiti as well as various African countries.

and still have such a system stand.

Because the mindset of most white people here and abroad have changed.

Yes there's racist white people, there's racist black people, there's racist people.

But the system you're talking about is not race based, it's economic.

 

[heiesuke]

Dam Anderson is a stand up dude.

 

[joneblaze]

Anderson looking like Quicksilver in that pic!!
I applaud him!!!!

 

[The Dark Mind]

Now, how do you prove if white folk is racist/white supremacist or not. You think that every white person who is a racist/white supremacist is either in the KKK or wears a Swat Sticker....Damn, Sir."

I've already answered this please read my post above.

And in regard to Mr. Obama, the racist/white supremacist suspects have always supported so called black "leaders" that help maintain the global system of racism/white supremacy.

This is false.

Racists are never interested in black people being in power anywhere. Especially here in America.

Racists want black people at the back of the bus... not at the top of the presidential ticket.

You clearly weren't paying attention to what happened during last year's election. White people who were racist and didn't want a black man ruling over the united states went completely batshit when it became apparent that Barack was going to win.

I remember threads here on BGOL pointing out some racist site called Stormfront. There were links from this site to that site showing how the racists nutted up and what they were saying.

If I remember correctly, it even made the news. Keith Olberman reported on it, I believe.

 

[crackheadlou]

You don't know me.

I am not acting like the great white savior to the Haitian people trying to prop up my own image at the expense of the Haitian people.

This thread was not started about me.

Now, who the f**k are you assholes?

But we do know you don't we? you that ignorant racist negro who would write" honkeys to the rescue" in the mist of a sovereign nation's unimaginable crisis, you that Brother who would look at this mayhem and contemplate how the "man" devised this scheme on a nation to further his agenda instead of seeing it for what it truly is,,,a nation on it's very knees crying to to the world for help...and you? you that Brother that says fuck them they should have had a better plan.I donated $10.00 the day after this crisis happened this clip has inspired me to send another $10.00 today,,,,how bout you?,,,,,brother.

 

[Adam Knows]

On some real shit, those store owners need to ante up. All that shit on their shelves will do them no good in a disaster area fill with desperate people. GIVE THE PEOPLE THE SHIT, ASSHOLES! It's doing you no good. And won't do you any good 'til who knows when. But it will do others plenty of good. Give it up smooth and quit being stingy!

you can't expect people to give up what they live off of. now if a merchant is guily of price gouging during this event, that's one thing. if it's business as usual and people are just attacking/stealing/etc... you shut the place down.

 

[diddybop30]

Anderson Cooper has a huge heart.

 

[diddybop30]

Gotta commend Dr. Gupta as well

Both him and Anderson Cooper have a huge heart. God bless those two dudes for real.

 

[HAR125LEM]

Need to get this Brother down there...

 

[peterlongshort]

They got Cooper over there like he's Jack Bauer or something!

 

[TooTrilla]

Props I guess?

Ummmm could have easily been staged, reporters do shit like this all of the time. I would believe it if the camera caught him in the middle of a fight.

Nigga, it ain't even time to be playing down in Haiti right now, trust me

I'm the racist eh? Yeah okay.

You're trying desperately to construct a false context.

When it comes to looking at the history of Haiti, there was a lot of negative things that they did to themselves. Lot's of corruption on their part.

American's in the form of tax money as well as private donations have sent billions to Haiti. It disappears into corruption.

Trying to make it sound like Americans don't care about Haitians, and have not tried to help them in the past, is false.

You need to pickup a history book or 3. Wow!

 

[The Dark Mind]

I'm the racist eh? Yeah okay.



You need to pickup a history book or 3. Wow!

Nah bruh. You're the one who needs to pick up a history book.

 

[KOOLKEV]

Honkeys to the rescue!

After they cause the whole thing. Now they play hero.

 

[the Imm font]

BGOL fam, most of you are looking at this situation without taking the context of Mr, Anderson's actions into consideration. Yes, i am also glad that he saved that boy. Something i believe most of us, white or non white will do. Now, what is the context? the context is the global system of racism/white supremacy. Lets see a situation like this playing out in Chechnya and a so called black reporter is out there trying to save a white kid for an angry mob of white looters. Trust me that black male will get beat down like mad. In fact due to the power relation that exists between white folk and black folk, the majority white population will not let a black person function like Mr. Anderson Cooper in a predominately white population. With that said, before anyone gets all bent out of shape, lets put the context into consideration and not just the act. oNe!!!

Ok Mr big picture can you atleast give him props for doing on the ground news reporting and even attempting to help a bloody child? Or its going to be black panther day every day. I am "Pro-black" but give respect where its due.

They got Cooper over there like he's Jack Bauer or something!

 

[Cruise]

Nah bruh. You're the one who needs to pick up a history book.

So, you refuse to read.

Refuse to inform yourself. Refuse to learn more.

Then what's the point?

After they cause the whole thing. Now they play hero.

You know, I wouldn't put anything past whitey.

It couldn't have been too dangerous if a white guy can play the hero in front of so-called violent Haitians (but not too violent to get a good camera shot, video, sound, good framing, and a dramatic moment).

You think those store owners have insurance? If their stuff is taken they owe money for the products and it put them out of business. Maybe its as simple as they trying save it for them and their family and friends.

 

[itzmotto]

Yeah man i saw that last night that's so unfortunate whats going on down there. they threw a rock down on him the looter's opened that lil kid up.He looked like he had a concussion because he 's was all dazed and couldn't walk staright

 

[bigreg2007]

I dont see how anyone can HATE on this.

 

[begel]

I dont see how anyone can HATE on this.

Only thing I didn't like was when Anderson Said they all were taking stuff to make profit. Some of them were, but man, I think that shit was desperation mostly.

Sorry bruh. I'm going to say it again. You're the one who's wrong here.

You and some others here have got so much hate for white people, that you actually need to believe that the majority of them are a certain way.

The United states has sent billions to Haiti. And that's not counting money giving by average citizens through private charities.

If anything... United States has been responsible for this mess in the fact that over the years we've given aid to the leaders of the corrupt governments in power but it never got down to the people who needed it.

As a matter of fact here's a video that will help explain this to you.

Oh, yeah, the United States whites have been so good to Haiti, denying their people citizenship, stopping them on their rafts, holding them in detention centers...

yes, you are correct whites in the United States couldn't possibly be hostile to Haiti.

The U.S. War Against Haiti

And, I don't want to hear about sending money to Haiti. That could mean anything... military aid, support to opposition forces, arming terrorists, repaying loans to white banks, political backscratching.

I think he means you shopuld look up the complete history between haiti n the united states, and not just the last 20 years. The us has done a deecent amount of damage over there..

 

[JD Walker]

WTF is your black ass doing to help?

Now STFU or go donate!

exactly

Word

The dumbasses are coming out in droves.

What the hell have you donated?

This just further reinforces my point that donating is the "IN" thing to do right now. Look cool in front of your friends because you "donated". Fuckin simps.

SAVAGES

C/S

If this video is authentic it just further proves my point on how savage and inept Haitians are. Instead devising a plan to work through this shit, they wanna loot and beat up kids (probably to sell him to nambla), so fuck Haitians. Let them figure this shit out on their own.

 

[lowlite]

Honkeys to the rescue!

My sentiments exactly. Bravo for dude getting involved though. I hate when white folk "have" to "save" black folks!

JD but you have to understand the magnitude of the situation there though fam. I mean if anything this video just debunks the thread that was made earlier about how there was no chaos and savage behavior going on in Haiti like what was "reported" in La. during Katrina. I dont look @ these kind of actions as a sum of the Haitian people in general. They were already under-priveledged people who are now more desperate than ever and the fact that they are basically in a law-less state right now is bringing out the worst in SOME people. Me and you agree on several things regarding the situation.. especially when people blame the US for it.. but I cant just say fuck the Haitians as a whole. They are in need of help the same way the Katrina victims were.. throwing all the hidden agenda theories out of the window.. they just need help right now.

sn (general, not directed to you JD): Its just crazy to me to hear people surpised and in awe when they hear about military forces coming in armed. ITS NECESSARY. Some type of order has to be brought back and maintained.. a social infrastructure must be rebuilt. How safe do you think it would be for aid and aid workers to be there with no sense of law?

Louisiana is a State of the UNITED STATES. While in hindsight I feel that the Katrina victims didn't deserve jack shit, they are part of the country so of course they need help.

As for Haiti, what's the point in "helping" them just to return to the same hopeless fuckery they were living in before? At what point to you say "fuck it" and cut your losses? Yeah, I know shit is desperate up there right now, but let's be real, there are things they could have done to lessen the blow. They were warned about earthquakes. These are 9 million people who are not collectively in a "progressive state of mind". The ones who are get the fuck out and move to the U.S. I personally choose to focus on the ones to rise above it all and make something of themselves. They are the ones who should be rewarded, not the functionally retarded family living in an outhouse breeding like roaches with 12 kids who are selling them off in to slavery. And let's also be real, if Haitians weren't Black, if this happened in Russia somewhere yall wouldn't give a fuck. At some point progressive Blacks are gonna have to cut off "diseased limbs" such as Haitians, southern friend coons of the south, the Congo, etc. if they are serious in moving ahead in to the 21st Century.

 

[The Dark Mind]

Oh, yeah, the United States whites have been so good to Haiti, denying their people citizenship, stopping them on their rafts, holding them in detention centers...

Sorry but the United States does that to everybody unless political asylum is involved. And the U.S. has the right to. It's a sovereign country. No country is obligated to take in anyone it doesn't want to. The decision belongs to that country alone, about who it will accept.

yes, you are correct whites in the United States couldn't possibly be hostile to Haiti.

Yes I know I'm correct.

Here you go...

Since 1973, the United States has been the world’s largest foreign-aid donor to Haiti

, which ranks among the world’s poorest countries.

From 1990 to 2005, the U.S. sent $1.46 billion to Haiti in aid from development assistance and children's health through the Economic Support Fund, the U.S. food program, the Peace Corps, and foreign military training (although that was only $4.6 million, with $3 million coming in 1995).

The U.S. War Against Haiti

I see nothing in here about a war declared on Haiti by the United States. What I see is an amatuer looking webpage with slanted history and someone's bias on it.

And, I don't want to hear about sending money to Haiti. That could mean anything...

Uhm... no no it can't mean anything.

Humanitarian aid, aid to improve the country means just that.

military aid, support to opposition forces, arming terrorists, repaying loans to white banks, political backscratching.

Unhunh yeah... Clearly you don't know that much about Haiti history. There was no support for terrorists and political backscratching. That would have just put the U.S. further in the hole as far as money sent to Haiti.

 

[HALO2]

They got Cooper over there like he's Jack Bauer or something!

 

[ron_mexico]

Now STFU or go donate!

 

[kdub83]

The amount of ignorance is amazing to me. Instead of giving props to the man for doing the right thing, everyone is knocking him as a racist, when anyone that has watched his show knows he is not What part of the game is that? I watched the video, and for that video to be staged, they would have had to pull off a helluva set-up, with people that are fighting for food and water . Some on here sound super ridiculous right now. Are there racist people? Yes. Has the US had a hand in Haiti's downfall, Absolutely. Does AC have anything to do with either one of those things NO!

And black people, we have to remember that not EVERY white person is racist. Clearly if they were, we wouldn't be looking at a BLACK PRESIDENT!!!! On the Obama's America discussion last night, one of the ladies did an informal poll of her students to see why they voted for Obama, and she said most voted for him BECAUSE HE WAS BLACK and wanted to be a part of history(not saying that's a good reason to vote for someone, but that still says a lot). And clearly as the generations start coming up and all the old people start fading away, we are becoming more tolerant to each other. And I know this because I see it constantly. There is still much work to be done, but we got to break out this "every white person is evil" mentality, because if we don't we are going to hold ourselves back.

Deuces

 

[UptempoDro]

Many people wont be able to see or understand where you are coming from NOW, just due to the tragic state. I can understand your reasoning though. Its similiar to questioning why they havent rebuilt the areas in NO that border the levees. Some times you have to write losses off. Its just hard to equate that type of mentality to human life and suffering.

Louisiana is a State of the UNITED STATES. While in hindsight I feel that the Katrina victims didn't deserve jack shit, they are part of the country so of course they need help.

How do you call them savages.

Their behavior is consistent with what happens during times of crisis and disaster, good or bad.

Do you really think folk were civilized over here during 9/11?

Folk were sneaking into ground zero looting like a mug and faking jacks just 4 sympathy alone.

Americans can teach Haitans something about savagery.
