‘Turn Black!’: Jimmy Kimmel Visits NYC Barbershop to Find Out How Romney Can Win Over Black Voters

This week, late-night talk show host Jimmy Kimmel headed over to Levels Barbershop on Fulton Street in Brooklyn, New York, to ask how Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney can win over black voters. In addition to asking “if” this is possible, the comedian also pondered “how” success in this area can be reached.



“I want to ask you guys some political questions,” Kimmel told the barbers, noting that Obama is winning among black Americans by a margin of 94 percent to 3 percent.



Among the more notable moments was when Kimmel asked the barbers what definitive steps Romney can take to secure more African American voters. The controversial answer came from one of the men who candidly said, “Turn black!” Another added, “Drop out of the race.”



Not all of the comedian’s joke were election related. Among other questions, he asked, ”From a barber’s perspective, what do you think of Mitt Romney’s hair?”



One barber called it “decent” and another said “I don’t like it.” As for whether ”Mitt Romney has mad flava,” the group overwhelmingly said he does not (they also disagreed with the notion that Mitt Romney is their “boo”).















Why do we even care about that section of the 15% of the population????? When it is a known fact they are stupid and racist.

  • 94% are voting for Obama, eh. What percentage of them are voting for him because he's black?

  • Yep go take a look at South Africa, they dont care about politics or if they were better off under white rule all they care about is to have a black man in power, If that means higher crime rate, increased poverty and unemployment that is still better then being led by a white man. Same story.

  • Racial bloke voting eh? Imagine if White folk did that. These blacks folks might as well say I'm not voting Romney because he's White. It just proves how fickle and racist they are. Ask them questions on things that matter and they couldn't give you an answer.

    • @randir14 You mean like rich white people are selling you out right now? Messing up the economy to lessen the value of your dollar while rising prices across the board so you need to spend more hours at work... What's the difference?
