Abraham Lincoln: I helped strengthen the government and abolished slavery.

Jimmy Kimmel: Silence, republican.

@Big Jay I do not mean that. Johnson's actions were a catalyst. In fact most historians say the switch happened between 1860-1936, three decades before you claim it occurred. "...pins the transition to the turn of the 20th century, when a highly influential Democrat named William Jennings Bryan blurred party lines by emphasizing the government's role in ensuring social justice through expansions of federal power — traditionally, a Republican stance." Both parties were trying to satisfy disenfranchised voters in the West and thus adopted social justice platforms, slowly the Republicans would stray from those ideals, but Johnson's aggression and cold heartedness can be seen as a catalyst.

@Aleece I'm guessing you mean 1965, which would mean that the parties switched a good couple of years after said event

Colin McGrath One of Hillary’s mentors was a grand dragon of the KKK.  Stop trying to bury the Democrats past.  We all know they promote injustice.

Auramaster 206yt yeah, sorry about that, I don’t know how to respond to more then one comment in one response.

@Blue Typhoon2017 stop repeating yourself postingvthe same link OVER and OVER its spam at that rate

Doctor Jones I went back and rewatched the video, and it mostly explains why the parties switched, can you explain why you believe it talked about the people and the south switching?

@Blue Typhoon2017<br>"The parties switched?"  The video you sent me literally talks about how the people, and the South, switched, not the parties.  Did you even send me the right video?

@Big Jay

1. Could I have a citation for this study?

2. I am for school choice, under the assumption that families will not be bankrupted by school bills.

@Colin Mcgrath Don't worry, I've seen that study too. I believe that hiring should be a meritocracy. Resumes should only have accomplishments, unless the job requires a certain physical description. Problem is, meritocracy is somehow sexist. A company did experiment like what I just listed, only hiring based on accomplishments and managed to hire more men than women, so sexism.

Speaking of education, are you for or against school choice? This would basically allow parents to choose which school their kids would go to which would make it highly competitive for schools to improve. It's not entirely and underfunding thing, it's a, "schools aren't encouraged to improve" thing.

@Big Jay It’s easy to say “just get a job”. But like it or not African Americans have a harder time getting a job than White people on Average. For example, People with “Black Sounding” names are often passed over for people with White sounding names even if both people have the same credentials. (If you want a citation, I can give it to you, just ask).

It also doesn’t help that education in black communities are often underfunded and lacking. So often these kids are metaphorically shot in the foot before they even leave high school.

Also Right wingers do treat their base like children. The immigrants  are both taking their jobs and taking away welfare money that should go to them. Instead of Republicans telling poor whites what they tell poor blacks, to toughen up and pull themselves up by their bootstraps, they are shown preferential treatment by telling these people that they were wronged and that those jobs should be theirs, and that Democrats don’t care about the “working class”.

@Colin Mcgrath In a way I suppose. But they don't treat them like little children that need handouts. They treat them like adults down on their luck, who need jobs and family cohesion, not free money.

@Big Jay

Lets just say that you are right for the sake of argument, that Dems only care for the vote.

Couldn’t you just say the right does the same thing but with poor white people?

@Doctor Jones he was the leader of the KKK a few years ago

@Doctor Jones he was the leader of the KKK a few years ago

@Colin Mcgrath Kennedy's death is a conspiracy theory so why not bring more ideas to the table?

@Colin Mcgrath the south started voting republican because industry moved south, and northerners followed it lmao.

Anyone with a grasp of American history knows that. The parties didnt change at all. One of those racist democrats was a kkk AND Hillary's mentor, dude.

@Colin Mcgrath<br>If you hate a group of people because of the color of their skin, either it be black, white, yellow, brown, any of it, that is the textbook definition of racism.  Like, what mental gymnastics do you need to perform to see otherwise?  And who the hell is David Duke?

Doctor Jones

Did David Duke vote Republican or Democrat in 2016?

Also Anti White Racism isn’t really. When your a political and social minority and face police brutality regularly, give me a call.

@thebigs

That is a conspiracy theory and has no bearing on the topic at hand

@HaVoCxMosquito

So your saying political parties do not change and the Republican party of Theodore Roosevelt aka the “Trust Buster” is the Same Party of that brought as Reagan?

@ecks dee!!1!11!!! Well it's irrelevant whether or not you like it, that's just how things are and that's how this arguement came along.

@Big Jay I personally dislike a strict two-party system, but sure. Each to their own.

@ecks dee!!1!11!!! So the cause has to be racism? There is no possible reason to vote Republican other than, "I love to say the n-word"?

@Big Jay The parties swapped swapped around the time of Nixon. Prior to Nixon, the Republican party was progressive, and the Democratic party was conservative.

You can see this when looking at the elections prior to Nixon and the candidates' party alignment. South voted Democrat, and North voted Republican. That doesn't happen today.

@HaVoCxMosquito no, but republicans continue to keep it alive

@Colin Mcgrath I don't think he means all parties changing is the point he made. I think the point was that "The Democrats and Republicans switching who is racist is bullshit." Which I agree with. Democrats became so unpopular that they basically had to suck up to black people and lie that, "They were the only ones that can help them" despite being the party of Jim Crow Laws and the KKK. Those kids that had to be escorted to the school by the national guard due to the governer ordering the police to prevent it? The governer was Democratic. We forget that it was only a mere 60 years ago that the "last time" Democrats were allegedly racist. I say "last time", because I still do believe they are racist. They treat black people like helpless victims that always need their help and can never pick themselves up, they say openly racist things against white people which if you switched around and said about black people would instantly be called racist, and rightly so, and they seem to bring up Jews and Jewish conspiracy a lot more than, "right-wing Neo-Nazi, heteropatriarical, cisgendered, racist, republicans."

@Colin Mcgrath that's not what he meant really

@Colin Mcgrath that's not what he meant really

@Colin Mcgrath the Democrats may have wanted to kill him for his actions and have Johnson proceed the extension in Vietnam

HaVoCxMosquito

Then where is the Whig party?

If parties don’t change, surely the Whigs must still exist...

@Colin Mcgrath I wonder if that was the reason why he was assassinated

Big Jay

1. The Trend began in the mid to late 60’s. I never said it started in the 50’s. Also during that time there were Republicans who supported Civil Rights, such as Nixon

2. Did you think all politicians did it out of the kindness of their heart? While some do, many saw that getting the AA vote would be a good move for them in long term.

2b. While what Johnson said was terrible, we have to remember he was a product of his time.

2c. I don’t even really like LBJ as I am anti Vietnam War.

Nothing happens over night.

Political change, like all change takes time. No political movement is spontaneous.

@Colin Mcgrath So after the civil rights movement basically, in the 50s and 60s? How come the "Racist south" didn't start voting Republican until the 70s and 80s?

Big Jay

They change as society changes. Political Parties are an expression of what certain believed and valued at certain time.

More specifically the Republican Party became the party it became today when Conservative Southern Democrats (AKA Dixiecrats) left the Democrats after JFK created laws making segregation illegal and promising equal protection of African Americans under the law. This created the Southern Strategy that would give the GOP political control in southern states

@Colin Mcgrath Well, when did the parties change?

@Colin Mcgrath Well, when did the parties change?


Good piece. The parts about minorities not so much. It's more of an outrage today because y'all have never fixed racism ever since the civil rights movement. And any time minority issues come up you start listing everything else that's wrong except minority issues. So keep up.

Trump was dumb, but we don't need 500 shows telling us about it. I'm glad he's out not just because he was dumb, but also because comedians have to actually come up with jokes.

What's worse is the dozens of movies that are going to be made about him that are going to all tread over the same material we all lived through already. He's finally gone so lets move on instead of keeping him in our minds constantly.


“You wanna know why liberals keep losing in America?” ... That didn’t age well.
Also, white privilege is a real socioeconomic phenomenon, not a personal judgment of your character. Chill.
Your political opinions aren’t all that informed.

He meant losing in general, just because you’re in power doesn’t mean you can’t lose and also white privilege doesn’t exist, you should probably do some socioeconomic research on it


I'm 16 and Ive already tuned out the media (every sane person has) and its safe to say I wont ever go back to watching shows like this again, too much cringe for me to handle.

I’ve just blocked every media outlet like cnn and Fox I’m honestly just tired of it bro

@Orcinus1967 Yeah I remember when they interviewed the father of one of the teens who got killed in CHAZ, it felt so disrespectful against the father since the interviewers were constantly making reactions to boost their agenda. I am not saying that CHAZ was a good idea by any means, it certainly wasn’t when it resulted in the deaths of teens, but the interview gave me a gut feeling that made me feel bad for the parent. He clearly had nowhere to demand justice for his son’s death but FOX News.

@Samuel McL. Thanks for saying that. It wasn't until I read an article about the radio wars in Philly where I grew up, that I came to understand. "Howard Stern entered national syndication on August 18, 1986 when WYSP in Philadelphia first simulcast the program. In the 18-plus male demographic, WYSP rose from eleventh to second place in three months. Stern began a rivalry with the number one host John DeBella of WMMR, and was determined to beat him in the ratings. He achieved his goal in April 1990, and held a celebratory "funeral" for DeBella on May 10 in Rittenhouse Square which aired live." (Wikipedia) The article pointed out WHY it was so important to win the ratings war.
The money/ salary from the advertisers is completely driven by ratings. I didn't come up with that on my own. Controversy sells. If it bleeds it leads and all that. Just recently I came up with the 'hit of righteous dope the talking heads are pushing" concept. Its pretty preachy in and of itself. I get a rush out of being righteous and pointing my finger too. Stimulating is what it is. Peace love and understanding is not as stimulating. Nor does it make as much money.
"As I walk through this wicked world
Searchin' for light in the darkness of insanity
I ask myself, "Is all hope lost?
Is there only pain and hatred and misery?"
And each time I feel like this inside
There's one thing I wanna know
What's so funny 'bout peace, love and understanding?

And as I walk on through troubled times
My spirit gets so downhearted sometimes
So where are the strong and who are the trusted?
And where is the harmony, sweet harmony?
'Cause each time I feel it slippin' away
Just makes me wanna cry
What's so funny 'bout peace, love and understanding?
So where are the strong and who are the trusted?
And where is the harmony, sweet harmony?

@-Gemberkoekje- I used to sit on my fathers lap and watch Walter Cronkite. This is a good article on that. I had forgotten about the opinion pieces.

@Orcinus1967 I just can't wach any news anymore...

As a kid you have this notion that the news is this beacon of Truth put out by smart adults who are passionate about putting out the truth,

But as you get a little older you reallise it's just for people who want to push out their agenda, and or make money by selling fake, fear mongering, and sensational stories...

@Orcinus1967 honestly i dont agree with some of your other comments but i must thank you; you put into words this strong annoyance ive felt for so long regarding the news media but been unable to articulate

@Orcinus1967 That is actually so true, couldn't have said it better

Thank goodness. I am 54. I used to watch Fox news and wonder how they could get away with it. Fudging statistics, cherry picking, fallacious arguments all over the place, hyperbole, repeating false misleading statements over and over until people just assumed they were true. Every trick in the book. Finally the left caught up and now employ the same tactics on CNN, NPR, MSNBC....the left, and the democrats, whom I used to support whole heartedly, are now a bunch of hypocrites. A word that used to mean something. Now our politicians just shrug it off. Once you realize they are just peddling controversy, and people are getting a hit of righteous dope every time they watch the news, or crap entertainment like this, it all becomes clear. How much money they make all depends on the ratings. Ratings drive advertising placement. It's a competition for the ad dollars. The more advertising $$, the more you can garner in salary. Controversy = ratings = advertising $$ = salary. <br>Good for you for tuning it out. Until we publicly finance elections, we will get the politicians that are paid for. Currently, our system turns our politicians into whores.

Left-leaning independent here to look at the other pov. Still disagree, but still. It's safe to say that everyone who religiously affiliates themselves with a political party think's they're "holier than thou" and that goes both ways. It mostly applies to Trump supporters now, but it has in the past related to the party I most agree with. I am seeing a lot of "holier than thou" bullshit everywhere here. "the left" this. "the left" that. Shut up. You're just as bad as you say the other side is. After all, I think we both know that no president is a saint. Ever.


The different topics aka talking about real problems in America is something John Oliver does. Really good content about something abstract like the post system to the high political stuff.

Caillou is better than jimmy kimmel and caillou is cancelled (finally)


I hate to be that guy, but this videos discussion is more relevant than ever.


"You have to be smart to be a liberal."  Right.  Ask a "smart" liberal to define that word from a historical perspective. Hint: It has nothing to do with clamping down on free speech, nothing to do with worshiping the State, nothing to do with giving more of your earned income to the bureaucracy.  Ask a "smart" liberal if they know who John Stuart Mill or John Locke are.  Hint: They are the fathers of liberalism.  The fact is the libertarian philosophy is the closest analog to historical liberalism.  And the modern left hates the libertarians as much as they hate conservatives.  Modern "liberalism" is closer to the Bolshevik Party than anything else


Emp on Democrats:
"For a party with such brilliant people, you sure do lose a lot"
How is losing the presidential popular vote only once in 32 years losing a lot?
Emp shows Trump winning one election and the narration says the Dems "sure do lose a lot" - how does Emp expect anyone to take him seriously with such disingenuous commentary?

He didn't mean just the presidential election. Republicans had the majority in Senate at the time too. So it certainly isn't just one election.

Also, popular vote literally doesn't matter. There's no proof Hillary or Al Gore would win if it came down to the popular vote, as candidates would campaign completely differently. For example, Trump had no reason to campaign in California to get better popular vote numbers. If popular vote mattered, he'd probably campaign a lot in California. Similar logic applies to Hillary, which would likely end up in the election results being very different. We will never be able tell who would be the winner if the 2016 election came down to the popular vote, as we've never got to experience the reality. That's a fact.

Wish this was the first video I saw from you, so I never watched any of your other videos.

So many things wrong with this video. Showing a graph of SA falling to downplay the reality of SA, and then trying to act like it's an intellectual take? "Things use to be worse, so they couldn't possibly be bad now." Christ dude. And showing a picture of Obama as some sort of proof that racism doesn't exist in America? I enjoyed your other videos, but you really showed your true colors here. Not even because it's opinionated, but because your justifications for your opinions are so incredibly stupid and it's clear that you just wanted to have a temper tantrum about those nasty liberals. You could've brought up real points, about how Kimmel used to have a show that was incredibly sexist, and his lectures about SA now are hypocritical. But no, that would take actual research, instead of 30 minutes of emotional, biased yelling and dog whistles. I hope you've changed in 3 years because this is just embarrassingly bad.

This is exactly what I was thinking. I was waiting for a more objective take the whole time and it just didn't come. I guess you can't really expect that much from someone who makes multiple NASCAR history videos.


thank you for lecturing me several times about how bad liberals are, that really did keep me interested in your video about jimmy kimmel<br>it's fine to have your political views, and obviously those views are going to be made obvious in a video about jimmy kimmel live, which is a political talk show, but can you not rant about liberals for five fucking minutes emp

@Ronny Donny's Cream I understood that Jimmy went out of his way to bash Trump when he said "he goes out of his way to bash Trump", it would be better if he gave some examples of Jimmy going out of his way to bash Trump, but five minutes of "he goes out of his way to bash Trump" isn't any better than one

@DUCKBRINGER and as you said jimmy kimmel live is a political talk show and he's countering the fact that he goes overboard when bashing trump, there is much more to the video than just talking about liberals and i dont understand how you think 5 mins of talking about liberals compares at all to the other 20 or so minutes that he talks about other problems with the show (valid points i think)

@Burnt Poptart I'm fine with people having those views but the video is about jimmy kimmel, not liberals

They need to be called out. It’s been Republican this and Conservative that. Not saying that Republicans are great but still. Liberals need to be called out more. They always get away with things but whenever Conservatives do sometimes bad, people still rant about them forever. Liberals are not what they are anymore. They don’t help or stand up for other people. They only care about themselves and judge people by the color of their skin (Mainly white straight men because they’re bad am I rite?)


Video title: Jimmy Kimmel is a bad entertainer
Video content: 30 minute rant about how much EmpLemon hates liberals by an angry 15 year old

his content got a whole lot better once he hit puberty

The reason he's a bad entertainer is in large part due to the liberal slant he gives the show.

Or did you just hear him say "liberals" and tune out and reflexively make a comment calling him wrong without actually listening?
