As Historic Marches Demand Change, Swae Lee Talks Joining Protests And 'Superhero' Activism | MSNBC
When is Trump and Fox News going to DENOUNCE the KKK and NEO-NAZI’s …MAKE THAT A DEMAND!
as soon as the communist democrats denounce looting ,vandalism , and sodomites
When I was growing up in 70s and 80s I assumed the last racist generation would die off. Instead, they successfully passed along that ‘heritage’.
yes but the vile disgusting communist democrats will never stop with racism …. thats why they loot and burn down the cities
*Systemic racism = multi-generational.. that’s the ”social system” bit*
*POTUS may as well borrow Melania’s Jacket…”I Don’t Really Care, Do You?” for putting Tulsa people at risk with his ‘POTUS Pied Piper Rally’*
I love this guy! Good man ❤️
What we have in common is far greater than what separates us.
*… now, America is divided.*
I love you
The rally is real.
“The next greatest generation.”
*kinda like, POTUS got the ‘Best ACTING People’ in White House*
Mr. Trump called Americans lowlifes. That’s a first.
Unemployed youth with no real direction accept to protest for reasons they don’t understand. Only what they’ve been told.
They don’t reason or talk to you because they don’t know how.
He’s been calling us that all along with his attitude.
“So I advise you to stay away from these men. Leave them alone. If what they are planning is something of their own doing, it will fail. But if God is behind it, you cannot stop it anyway, unless you want to fight against God.” Acts 5:38-30
Rep that Mississippi my G 💙💙💙💙
Fight the good fight. Attitudes needs to change. Good job.
I thank my parents i was raised with so many different races in Chicago ‘we had blacks ,puertorriquens, Mexicans ,’whites’ Italians and biracial couples and the parents kept an eye for everyone’s kids we were there for each other. I lived in the same home for 15 yrs back in the 60 ‘s and 70’s until we moved out of state. I still continue to be the way i was raised we saw a person not a race nowadays you have to be careful. Im puertorriquen and a mix of black, European and Indian. I truly miss those times, we were very happy all together playing, riding bikes play hockey in the streets good old days. I pray this is a beginning and we can be happy and United.
I’m a little puzzled by these “mostly peaceful” lethal protest fatalities.
Ari’s the freaken best. Love him. Bringing music and politics together. Real.
‘Do the right thing!’ AMEN.
“Any protesters, anarchists, agitators, looters or lowlifes who are going to Oklahoma please understand, you will not be treated like you have been in New York, Seattle, or Minneapolis,” Mr. Trump wrote on Twitter. “It will be a much different scene!”
No distinction between protesters and “lowlife looters”.
We have a President of the United States who doesn’t believe in our right to peacefully assemble.
Think about that.
Ain’t nothing going to happen until we ALL fight for the those who cannot fight alone.
We may be late, but let’s hope we’re here now.
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Abraham Lincoln, a Republican that freed the slaves. Remember everyone when it’s time to vote it’s not the Republicans paying protesters to Riot
I ❤ this interview!
