0 wherever you come from. >> making fun of my irish family? >> yes, i am. i have irish in my family too, so i can do that. my point, you can become an american, anyone from anywhere in the world can become an american. why do we self-segregate, let's focus on what really matters. >> god -- god did not make us color blind. okay? good gave us the ability to see in color. i look at white, i look at black, i look at hispanic, i don't care. that's the point we need to get to. i am a black american. i don't care to say that. i'm black and i'm proud. raised in the house with james brown. over and over again, it has been beat into my head, i'm not ashamed of it. i don't care and that has to m. stop caring. >> i lost all control of the show. this was not the topic. but this is important, isn't it? >> we have spent the last couple of minutes talking about color. when we have a high unemployment rate, when we have more black men in prison today, when the fact that we get a college education, but can we find a job? but yet when sean read the statistics, the majority of us voted for a president that doesn't represent us. >> i have a question. why? >> right now, we as republicans have not put forth an urban agenda to counter what the democrats and president obama said. not one time when we look at high unemployment, the president introduced his nominee for secretary of labor, talked about disability, about the lgbt community, not one time in that five-minute speech of mr. perez, did he talk anything about african-american or black community and unemployment. >> back there. >> i will say this. with the color thing, my mom is 86 years old. somebody walked up to her and said sister, do you know where you're from? and she said, yeah, long island, new york. no, no, which country are you from? >> the united states of america. that's the way they are trying to shove it down their side? if we can say, guess what? we're american. i mean, i served in the military. we're not black and white in the military. well, we weren't black and white in the military, we were the united states military. we die at places, we protected each other, we watch each other's back. whether we were black, white, yellow, green. we watched each other's backs. >> isn't there a spiritual component to this? >> a lot. >> i'm a christian. god created every human being with talent and ability. unfortunately, the way society is now, a lot of our kids, all races, are falling behind, and these statistics should scare everybody. the unemployment rate for black teenagers in the country right now are 50%. those kids will be on the streets, not working and developing the skills they need to get ahead later in life. >> the final point made about having rapid response when they play race. the president made a declaration that we should do away with christian or catholic education, because they are divisive. one of the primary reasons we have such high unemployment rate, these young people, not getting a quality education. >> none of us chose our birth, but we should be able to choose, regardless of color, and we recognize it, see it for what it is. we should be able to choose our future. and opportunity in this country, and that's the promise of america, and you don't choose your birth. but you choose your future and should have the right to pursue it. >> question, show of hands, how many in this audience think the president's agenda, 93% of the black vote in the last election. how many of you think his policies have hurt black america? >> all of america. >> anybody? >> all of america. >> but specifically, we're dealing with -- okay. we're going to take a break, come back to that point when we get back. and coming up next on this special edition of "hannity." >> join with me today in an ban donning the government plantation and party of disappointment, so we may all echo the words of one republican leader who famously said free at last, free at last. >> that was louisiana state senator who recently decided to leave the democratic party and join the gop. coming up next, his bold decision and some members of the studio audience made the same switch and they'll explain the reasoning, coming up, on this special edition of "hannity." ♪ roundup ♪ now roundup has a new sharp-shootin' wand ♪ ♪ just point and shoot, and weeds are gone ♪ ♪ 'round fences, trees, even mulched beds ♪ ♪ 'cause the only good weed is a weed that's dead ♪ ♪ roundup [ male announcer ] with a new one-touch wand. yeha!
