New Zo video: “Victicrat”
posted at 3:15 pm on October 24, 2009 by Ed Morrissey
Long, but worth it, especially for those who get ripped for wandering off the political reservation based on their ethnicity. Zo, who undoubtedly gets plenty of that, produces and plays a supporting role in the video “Victicrat,” which will only be on YouTube for this weekend. After that, it’s exclusively at PJTV (via Six Meat Buffet):

I liked it. His YouTube channel is much easier to navigate then the clunky and empty Pajamas TV. They should scrap that operation.
Jerricho68 on October 24, 2009 at 3:25 PM
Damned … they’ve gone full Lib’Tard on us.
Kristopher on October 24, 2009 at 3:32 PM
Loved the message. I don’t know what constitutes quality rap, though. My opinion is useless in that regard.
pugwriter on October 24, 2009 at 3:36 PM
Nice video, BTW. Liked it.
Kristopher on October 24, 2009 at 3:37 PM
If I’m not mistaken, “Victicrat” is a term coined by Larry Elder – hope he gets credit.
peski on October 24, 2009 at 3:37 PM
It seems Black folks are getting blinder and blinder…Those who have “buyer’s remorse” Obamawise are still not willing to speak out against his policies because of his skin color. That is to our peril, all of us who call ourselves American first!
joiededieu on October 24, 2009 at 3:37 PM
Yes Peski, Larry helped produce the vid
joiededieu on October 24, 2009 at 3:39 PM
Good message.
Great lyrics
And WHO is that woman dancer? Hawt!
Just goes to show that Conservative women ARE the hottest!
Markvike on October 24, 2009 at 3:43 PM
A very good job by Zo and team.
Reminding all of the most hideous aspect of liberalism/progressivism…
Enslaving millions without them even knowing they’re on the plantation.

LOVE THAT RED TEE-SHIRT!

viviliberoomuori on October 24, 2009 at 3:47 PM
“Obama ain’t the bomb”!
I liked this! Go Zo!
Now, if only those who like Turkmenbama only ‘cuz he’s half black would use their own brains and see he is not as he seems (to them)…and colour has NOTHING to do with it.
Gob on October 24, 2009 at 3:48 PM
The next Mrs. TXUS. Thanks for the compliment.
TXUS on October 24, 2009 at 3:52 PM
OT/ Uh-oh, AP is reporting that Fiday night Barack Hussein Obama declared a “National State of Emergency” citing the swine flu for this action.
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20091024/ap_on_go_pr_wh/us_obama_swine_flu
Some of you may, or may not know someone with this affliction. But certainly there is nothing, at least I can see, that warrants such drastic a measure. Are we witnessing possible first moves of (as in chess) of an end game.
I really cannot say, but if so it seems strategically way preamature. Are the progressives panicing at the level, overly tame thus far in my estimation, of resistence to their munificient program for America?
What ever the case, I cannot see how this could be good news. Stay tuned.
Archimedes on October 24, 2009 at 3:53 PM
Its ironic, I suppose – but the reality is that it isn’t really bloggers or the commentariat or conservative politicians who will finally stem the rising tide of socialism.
It is this message – presented EXACTLY like this. To reach mainstream America, you have to speak to them, in their language. You have to reach the under 30 crowd. You have to speak in voices they see as authentic.
Alfonzo Rachel is quickly becoming the most-influential least known conservative voice in America. He is making a difference. Now all he needs is a wider audience.
Professor Blather on October 24, 2009 at 3:56 PM
Part of the plan. Keep ‘em scared. Keep ”em confused. Keep the chaos a comin’.
TXUS on October 24, 2009 at 3:58 PM
Sweet great message!

Song O.K.
But maybe teh black man in the italian suits was must be a rare successful entrepreneur if he claims he didn’t get help from uncle sam.

Love that Zo! Blunt, style, and talent galore!
Victicrat!
TN Mom on October 24, 2009 at 4:11 PM
Good song! I can see some references to Geto Boyz (and all you Office Space fans out there know what song I’m talking about).
Sekhmet on October 24, 2009 at 4:13 PM
Per the credits at the end of the video, that was James O’Keefe.
LodeStar on October 24, 2009 at 4:14 PM
Crowder ain’t bad
Aggie95 on October 24, 2009 at 4:17 PM
Holy Cow!It’s looks like they filmed that right on my block.
baldilocks on October 24, 2009 at 4:19 PM
Man I would LOVE to see Warren Ballantine tell these guy they “can go back to the porch” to their face. Especially kung fu Zo.
This video is awesome. O’Keefe can dance! I didn’t realize it was him at first. That’s hilarious. And how is it possible that Hannah Giles gets hotter every time she shows her face?
Ampersand on October 24, 2009 at 4:25 PM
Good message. Want the t-shirt.
baldilocks on October 24, 2009 at 4:27 PM
Yep! It’s like muslims speaking out against Bin Laden or Sharia law.
Cybergeezer on October 24, 2009 at 4:29 PM
Nice, some right-leaning flows from some nappy-headed bros!
I’m really glad to see Larry Elder getting into user-driven media. He’s been threatening to do so for a while. I think a right-rap vid is a great attention grabber. It’s also nice to see such South Central get some decent media attention.
There are many conservatives in America’s so-called “hoods.” I think this will be great for kids to see.
Anybody who is a fan of Larry Elder can surely catch some his trademark conservative-affirmations and admonitions. This is great stuff.
In case anybody missed the original reference, “Damn it feels good to be a victim,” click here.
The Race Card on October 24, 2009 at 4:31 PM
As much graffiti as there is in LA, there are only a few spots in South Central with burners like that. People look at me like I’m crazy when I tell them I love South Central.
The Race Card on October 24, 2009 at 4:33 PM
Great production value. Hope this goes viral.
John the Libertarian on October 24, 2009 at 4:33 PM
Oh dear, what have we done….
doriangrey on October 24, 2009 at 4:33 PM
burner = graffiti canvas with actual artistic merit
The Race Card on October 24, 2009 at 4:37 PM
peski, in the credits you see Eric Elder. Larry’s son perhaps?
katy on October 24, 2009 at 4:38 PM
Hey, the wife and I saw an Obama Joker poster the other day here in L.A. THAT made me happy to live here. It was the 1st time I’d seen one. It kinda made passing the store with the huge Obama as Superman mural a little more tolerable.
I totally understand what your saying about Southern California. I often hate it here, but sometime you just have what I call a perfect L.A. day and I remember… THIS is why I love it in California.
Ampersand on October 24, 2009 at 4:39 PM
Grossly generalized remarks like that are more inflammatory than enlightening. There were many times in my life where it might have been tempting to say “Gee, white folks are really getting ____________.” I don’t and won’t because I find it more effective to relate to individuals than blanket every member of a group with inaccurate aspersions.
Basically, **** you.
The Race Card on October 24, 2009 at 4:45 PM
heh.
Like all good little dictators…. Charles is suggesting HA go the way of LGF and start throwing out all dissenters from the party line.
Poor Schmucky. He found something he can’t control…
katy on October 24, 2009 at 4:46 PM
Zo is the only one I can ID. So I could be mistaken, but the lead somewhat resembles Larry’s deceased mother. Perhaps he’s a nephew or relative but not offspring.
The Race Card on October 24, 2009 at 4:51 PM
Loved it. Hope it gets lots of play on You Tube, this weekend.
mtb on October 24, 2009 at 4:51 PM
Great video. Loved O’Keefe, that kid can dance.
Aggie85 on October 24, 2009 at 4:53 PM
That was great. I wonder how many people will catch that the beginning (before the song starts) was a take on a scene from Do the Right Thing.
clearbluesky on October 24, 2009 at 4:53 PM
The chick (oh wait, does that make me sexist?)in the yellow is hot!
Conservative women are soooooo much better looking than

katy on October 24, 2009 at 4:56 PM
Notice conservatives who are successful mythologize themselves, they would rather be vain and patronizing than gracious. They admire themselves. They also fail to admit that governmental institutions, or just flat-out luck played a role in their success.
In contrast successful liberals don’t attribute their success solely to their own unassailable personal genius. They’re successful, yet humble.
Who would you rather emulate?
crr6 on October 24, 2009 at 4:56 PM
Riiiight……
If there’s one thing people think of when it comes to Obama, it’s how modest and humble he is. (where’s one of those emoticons that rolls their eyes when ya need it?)
clearbluesky on October 24, 2009 at 5:00 PM
Please be ID a conservative for whom government played a larger role in their success than personal strengths. Then detail how that typifies conservative success-stories.
Also humility is not the kind of compliment one pays himself.
The Race Card on October 24, 2009 at 5:01 PM
FIFY
pain train on October 24, 2009 at 5:02 PM
I never said it played a “larger role”. But many successful conservatives would deny it plays any role. They did it all by themselves through the sheer force of their awesomely awesome rugged individualism, and that’s that.
crr6 on October 24, 2009 at 5:03 PM
Please tell me you didn’t just say you like South Central because of graffiti.
The Race Card on October 24, 2009 at 5:04 PM
Yeah, I tried to sneak that in.
Superstar, you misread the cue-card. I must have been holding it upside down.
Those nods to determination and hard-work are not only self-adulatory. They are odes to how much more successful many people would have been without excessive regulation and taxation.
The Race Card on October 24, 2009 at 5:07 PM
heh. There’s nothing wrong with that, South Central has some dope burners. The city I’m from has a weak graff scene, it’s mostly just teenagers throwing up wack tags.
crr6 on October 24, 2009 at 5:08 PM
Nevah thought I’d live to see the day: a Ronald Reagan T-shirt in a rap video. Seven kinds of AWESOME!! Good rap too.
Thought that pimp looked like James O’Keefe then someone above confirmed with credits.
LOLOL
inviolet on October 24, 2009 at 5:09 PM
I’ve never been to South Central LA, but was struck by the neatly combed lawns and well-kept houses in the opening scene.
I guess it didn’t seem like da hood so much, but more like a middle class area where few would be victicrats.
So, the juxtaposition of the three “losers” in that neighborhood confused the story a bit for me.
What am I missing?
TXUS on October 24, 2009 at 5:10 PM
Go there at night.
crr6 on October 24, 2009 at 5:11 PM
Perhaps that’s so, but the “odes” still have an awfully self-congratulatory character. Much like a self-help guru, “I am successful because of my genius. If you emulate my genius, you can be successful too!”. One can hardly call that sentiment vanity-free.
crr6 on October 24, 2009 at 5:14 PM
I bet you think this song is about you…don’t you, don’t you.
I liked it a lot.
kahall on October 24, 2009 at 5:15 PM
I LOVE Zo… But why HA never features this guy is beyond me.
MR NOBEL – Can U Hear Us Now
I found him on the MarkLevinFan site. This dude f’n Rocks AND Smacks the Crown of the DaliBama’s head.

Was the dude in the purple T-Paw?
cntrlfrk on October 24, 2009 at 5:18 PM
Notice liberals who are unsuccessful victimize themselves, they would rather complain and blame than look inward. They abdicate responsibility for themselves. They also fail to admit that governmental institutions sometimes harm them, or that flat-out luck isn’t what played a role in others success.
In contrast successful conservatives advocate personal responsibility and hard work. They don’t see success as something doled out by the government or kept away from them by “the man.”
Who would you rather emulate?
Ampersand on October 24, 2009 at 5:20 PM
That was hilarious; they are part of the future that will keep the USA stable.

TBinSTL on October 24, 2009 at 5:22 PM
why is self pride a bad thing to a liberal. What if that person IS successful because of his “genius” and you WOULD be be successful too?
Ampersand on October 24, 2009 at 5:23 PM
I was going to joke about the white guy dancing looking like the “ACORN pimp”. Then I read the text on youtube. Holy crap, it really is James “The ACORN Shaker” O’Keefe! Nice!
redzap on October 24, 2009 at 5:24 PM
You NEVER get the point: Your head is so far up your fat ass that you just fall back on lying and talking points. Using a Thesaurus when you post won’t help, either. You’re not smart and never will be.
Janos Hunyadi on October 24, 2009 at 5:24 PM
Fact is that many streets in LA, South Central, Compton, Watts, East LA, Inglewood and other infamous neighborhoods. I could drive you to streets in every one of those cities that defy the widespread perception about such areas.
South Central is one of LA’s oldest communities. There are many residents who have civic pride and do not tolerate the requisite ghetto BS.
The Race Card on October 24, 2009 at 5:25 PM
FTFY.
The Race Card on October 24, 2009 at 5:26 PM

Wow… Someone says that pushing ahead and going for the gold with ones own efforts is better than sucking on the gov tit and blaming the system for personal failure… and that equals this… Nice reach.

I used to play chess til all hours of the morning at a coffee shop in South Central. It was the one place in LA where you could find players of all skill levels, from all walks of life, playing at all hours.
The Race Card on October 24, 2009 at 5:32 PM
you’re clearly getting “vanity” and “pride” mixed up. And that you advocate a life without pride is very sad… but it plays well into the victim hood that the democrat party needs others to feel in order for them to get elected.
The message from crr6 to people is don’t get too uppity. you ain’t all that. He’d make a great commencement speaker!
Ampersand on October 24, 2009 at 5:34 PM
Nope, nice try. There’s nothing wrong with being proud of your success, but there is certainly something vain about attributing your success solely to your own personal genius.
One ideology does that. One doesn’t.
One ideology is proud, but humble. The other is self-congratulatory and pompous.
I’m happy with my choice.
crr6 on October 24, 2009 at 5:39 PM
give us some examples of this.

oh this is rich…the liberals…proud, but humble…right…laughable beyond belief. the libs who don’t believe in the God of the Bible, nor give Him thanks, compared to the conservatives who do.
you libs are the most pompous fools around..thinking minorities can’t make it without your beneficence…the ‘bwana complex’
you really are delusional.
right4life on October 24, 2009 at 5:45 PM
Thanks, RC. That explains a lot about why the writer has the lead character going to his father’s house there, his dad being among the prideful and ghetto BS intolerant.
It also speaks to the broader issue about the guy knowing his father and the father him.
But what about the three losers in that neighborhood? That’s my disconnect.
TXUS on October 24, 2009 at 5:52 PM
Instant classic!
Rap music ain’t my thing, but this is done right. Very talented group of folks.
gary4205 on October 24, 2009 at 5:54 PM
No problem. Ayn Rand is a perfect example. Regarding her rise from a poor immigrant to a prolific conservative intellectual Rand once said
This is of course, false. She spend her first few months in the U.S. living off of loans from family members, which she promised to pay back when she became rich (she reneged, never speaking to her family again). She also benefited from the luck of moving to Hollywood just as it was growing, and bumping into the director Cecil Demille there.
This is not to say that Rand’s success was due only to luck and help from others. Rand is brilliant, no doubt. But it is unbelievably pompous of her to attribute her success solely to her own personal genius, when this is clearly not the case.
A great counter-example is the liberal billionaire Warren Buffet. He has always been humble about his success, and expressed gratitude for the governmental institutions (like financial institutions, banks, courts) that have helped facilitate his success. He doesn’t mythologize himself, or attribute his success only to his hard-work and brilliance. He is successful and proud, yet humble.
crr6 on October 24, 2009 at 5:54 PM
she’s an atheist…like most libs are. nice try.
right4life on October 24, 2009 at 5:59 PM
“Most libs” are not atheists. I’m not, for one.
crr6 on October 24, 2009 at 6:02 PM
really now? then why do you want the government to play God? and what god do you serve? surely not the God of the Bible, correct? you are for abortion, gay marriage, etc, right?
right4life on October 24, 2009 at 6:04 PM
O/T I have a new post up at my blog.. It is HotAir related…
doriangrey on October 24, 2009 at 6:07 PM
I’ve noticed a lot of good ‘catholic’ politicians like Pelosi, and Kennedy, who openly violate their church’s teaching on this issue…yet loudly proclaim their faith.
cognitive dissonance? or just lies?
right4life on October 24, 2009 at 6:07 PM
Oy. This will get wildly off topic fast. How about I’ll respect your faith and you respect mine mmmk?
crr6 on October 24, 2009 at 6:09 PM
libs respecting conservative christians?? oh PULEASE…since when??
laughable.
right4life on October 24, 2009 at 6:10 PM
Wow, that IS James O’Keefe!! The boy can DANCE.

Go ZoNation.
BTW, Sharpton, eat some feces please.
Geochelone on October 24, 2009 at 6:13 PM
I’ve noticed most uh ‘liberal christians’ have no problems supporting communists, like the WCC and NCC did for decades…remember the ‘reverend’ joan brown-campbell…helping to get Elian Gonzales back to that murderer Castro?
and they always support the left’s agenda, from abortion, to gay marriage, and everything in between.
look like a lamb, speak like a dragon….
right4life on October 24, 2009 at 6:15 PM
The Italian Shoes? Why’d he have to make them Italian? At least he didn’t make them Bruno Magli.

Keep stickin it to em. Well done.
Geochelone on October 24, 2009 at 6:18 PM
KIK, you’re so dumb you don’t even realize what you just said. You just described O’bama exactly.
Del Dolemonte on October 24, 2009 at 6:18 PM
No you’re not.
Del Dolemonte on October 24, 2009 at 6:20 PM
You’re suggesting conservative Americans don’t give thanks to their country when they achieve success?
Funny. Whatever failings conservatives allegedly have, gratitude to their country is usually not one of them. The ones I’ve known are usually thankful to be living in a country that grants them the ability to pursue their achievements without interference (though under Obama, that balance has begun to shift radically). Now what are you claiming exactly?
RD on October 24, 2009 at 6:21 PM
Excellent. It’s too bad it’ll only be available on PJTV after this weekend. If they’re trying to get the word out, limiting the audience to only a certain site is a lame way to do it.
Jewels on October 24, 2009 at 6:23 PM
Fixed.
RD on October 24, 2009 at 6:25 PM
A bunch of kids with a boastring budget could produce a video like this and the GOP with its millions of dollars came up with this ?
The repubs need to go back to their neighborhoods and communities and learn to speak and think like conservative Americans .
macncheez on October 24, 2009 at 6:26 PM
When I first saw the guy in the blue pimp costume and female dancer alongside Zo in his red Ronald Reagan t-shirt, I could have swore it was James O’Keefe and Hannah Giles.
As someone mentioned earlier in the comments, James O’Keefe is in fact listed in the credits, but Hannah Giles is not, so they must have just had a Giles look-a-like.
In any case, I appreciated the message of the song. The way to turn it around is to keep preaching:
1. Graduate high school
2. Wait to make babies until you at least twenty
3. Wait to make babies until you are married
4. Fulfill your responsibilities as a father
Those are good rules to live by for all Americans regardless no matter how light or dark their skin is, or how long their pinky toe is on their right foot.
willamettevalley on October 24, 2009 at 6:27 PM
Excellent video! Thank you!
Josephine on October 24, 2009 at 6:29 PM
Who are you and what have you done with crr6? Seriously, if you were this civil all the time it would actually be fun having you around to argue with and bounce ideas off one another.
BadgerHawk on October 24, 2009 at 6:30 PM
I guess you might be correct. There is a pretty extensive list of liberals who are “proud, but humble”.
The first few that come to mind are:
Barbara “I worked hard for this title, please call me Senator” Boxer
Reverend Jessie Jackson, Jr.
Reverend Al Sharpton
Congressman Barney Frank
Congress Critters Shummer, Dodd, Pelosi, Reid.
TV critters Obermann, Mathews, Carville…
… and on, and on.
Yep, all of them are certainly “humble”.
You. Are. A. Joke. (in my humble opinion)
Yoop on October 24, 2009 at 6:31 PM
Agreed. FWIW now is not the time for PJTV to try & drive revenues to their site; now is the time for them to get the word out, to disseminate the video as widely as possible.
Putting it behind an access “wall” (which some will have to pay a membership fee to cross, having already burned through their allotment of “N free viewings” w/o realizing it) makes it impossible to share a link with any confidence it will work in the future (and thereby maximize exposure).
