Mos Def vs Christopher Hitchens

[Thorum]

It really wasn't fair. Mos Def doesn't speak English.....;)

I saw this when it aired and couldn't sit through it. It's so uncomfortable watching that twit try to communicate; I hate when Maher puts someone like Hitch on against a halfwit like Mos Def.

It was almost painful to watch Mos Def sputter and mumble like that. His basic argument to back up what he said throughout appeared to be "I'm Black".

Ugh. More Al-Qaeda boogie man non-sense. Bill Maher though, not suprising.

It is quite revealing of the mindset of many blacks in the USA: don't trust whitey, it is all whitey's fault, whites are out "to get" blacks, police/law enforcement abuse blacks, on and on and on.......:cool:

It is quite revealing of the mindset of many blacks in this country: don't trust whitey, it is all whitey's fault, whites are out "to get" blacks, police/law enforcement abuse blacks, on and on and on.......:cool:
Then it is so ironical that us whiteys keep on feeding them with the tits of welfare state.
Don't like whitey ? Get the hell out..

against christopher hitchens (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christopher_Hitchens) - who does not seem a half-wit? :nod:

He is, in my humble estimation, the finest polemicist in the Western world and one of the best living English language writers of non-fiction. So I certainly agree. :thumb001:

For the most part, Christopher is a leftwinger who supports the Iraq war/'war on terror', and Peter is a libertarian/conservative who favors the native culture of England.

Well, call me old-fashioned if you will, but I have always taken the view that swastika symbols exist for one purpose only—to be defaced.

Telling my two companions to hold on for a second, I flourish my trusty felt-tip and begin to write some offensive words on the offending poster. I say “begin” because I have barely gotten to the letter k in a well-known transitive verb when I am grabbed by my shirt collar by a venomous little thug, his face glittering with hysterical malice. With his other hand, he is speed-dialing for backup on his cell phone. As always with episodes of violence, things seem to slow down and quicken up at the same time: the eruption of mayhem in broad daylight happening with the speed of lightning yet somehow held in freeze-frame. It becomes evident, as the backup arrives, that this gang wants to take me away.

I am as determined as I can be that I am not going to be stuffed into the trunk of some car and borne off to a private dungeon (as has happened to friends of mine in Beirut in the past). With my two staunch comrades I approach a policeman whose indifference seems well-nigh perfect. We hail a cab and start to get in, but one of our assailants gets in also, and the driver seems to know intimidation only too well when he sees it. We retreat to a stretch of sidewalk outside a Costa café, and suddenly I am sprawled on the ground, having been hit from behind, and someone is putting the leather into my legs and flanks. At this point the crowd in the café begins to shout at the hoodlums, which unnerves them long enough for us to stop another cab and pull away. My shirt is spattered with blood, but I’m in no pain yet: the nastiest moment is just ahead of me.

As the taxi accelerates, a face looms at the open window and a fist crashes through and connects with my cheekbone. The blow isn’t so hard, but the contorted, glaring, fanatical face is a horror show, a vision from hell. It’s like looking down a wobbling gun barrel, or into the eyes of a torturer. I can see it still.
