  1. America is

    23 in education.
    37 in healthcare.
    52 in gender equality.
    No high-speed train.
    Highest number of homeless people.
    Highest number of incarcerated people.
    78% of people live paycheck to paycheck.

    Stock market is not economy of Americans! Where 90% of money belongs to top 10% of the population, it’s wallet for the rich.

    Let’s talk like adults, instead of name calling.

    I have left the proof on my playlist, if you would like to check!

    Let’s make our country better!!

    1. Are y’all gonna move on or are you gonna keep going in this comment section? Cuz I’m done. But I might reply back if you reply to me. 😒 🙄

    2. America is #1 in immigration. #1 in generocity. America is not keeping you from leaving. Go on. Get.

      That’s not very Christian.
      But then again most who call themselves Christian and follow someone like Trump are nothing more than hypocrites.
      You lack compassion and are full of ignorance.

      Right…….. like corporate welfare and tax breaks for the wealthy. That’s not the government holding their hand right?
      Privatize the profits and socialize the losses. Stop drinking the Kool Aid. Your government’s robbing you blind they’ve brainwashed you into believing your world or bubble is like everyone else’s.
      Both democrats and republicans are to blame for America’s downfall and playing Americans against one another other.

  2. soo if tom brady posted a quote he knowingly thought was from hitler, would he have a job the next day?

    1. Christian Zook yes, he would have a job. There was another white football player who called black people the N word and still had a job.

    2. @The Haitian Way the n word is nothing since black players throw that word around like it’s nothing. A Hitler quote is actually something

  3. This boils down to the lack of education in our schools. Most narratives in America are hidden giving the belief only one group participated in the building of America. The average American supports historical amnesia which means if we don’t mention it then it will eventually go away. I just believe you’re destined to repeat it. The president down to the clerk in a grocery store is misguided about history so is no wonder people are clueless to MAAFA, The Trial of Tears, The Holocaust, or Japanese internment camps. Those narratives paint a different canvas of America and certain agendas cannot afford to have that tarnished.

    Most people are ignorant and self absorbed so they prefer to stay ignorant because in the current climate society doesn’t promote egalitarianism but individualism. A bunch of selfish individuals lacking knowledge running saying things they have no knowledge about because it’s easier to be selfish, hateful, and cantankerous. Those characteristics break down the family, marriage, and relationships so it’s easier to promote.

    1. @Dwayne Barnes funny. This country is so damn racist it accommodates entire classrooms to a certain culture 😂

    2. Americans are taught a myth,..nothing more. Those of us who know better had to completely divorce ourselves from all we were taught and relearn everything from the ground up. It’s kind of amazing how much more humble knowing the truth can make a person.

  4. Kareem got to school y’all fr he the disciple of the dragon and magics OG heroes of America dream team USA 🤙

    1. @1stblacksuperhero I mean, I’m assuming Clouds thinks it’s ok to troll about Jewish engagement in the areas of entertainment and finance. The stupidity of that is shocking and, as you say, ironic. Even a little reading about history would show that Jews were PERMITTED to work these sorts of jobs because it didn’t interest/threaten whites for them to do so. Same as Irish were ‘allowed/tolerated’ being cops (Paddywagon term still used today, and no one cares because the racist meaning is long gone) and bartenders (since they were worthless drunks anyway) or blacks being employed in sports, music etc.
      Clouds seems young, and hopefully he will learn; still the irony is thick…..

      Also, PowerMan was not the first black superhero. I think it was the Falcon…..I could be very wrong there.

    2. @Sean Molloy what color are Jews…. you wrote all that and still said nothing and just like you don’t know about Luke Cage you don’t know about this subject either…. the irony

    3. @1stblacksuperhero I think I understand now. I’ve looked at “Cloud’s’ home page, and then yours and I think you are the same person, which tells me everything I need to know……..thank you.
      By the way genius, Luke Cage and Powerman are the same character. You’re a racist, childish, troll…..good luck dummy; you’re gonna need it.

    4. @Sean Molloy Being Jewish is not a race you have black jews as well that are discriminated against in the Jewsih community but that barely get mentioned.

    5. @BlackJustice 28 I agree, it’s probably not appropriate to describe Jews as being a distinct race – although some Jews do – it is, however, correct to ascribe their ethnicity as distinct.
      Also, why are you telling me this? I’m not the one here, that has a problem with the successes that Jews have garnered. Superhero and Cj p and Clouds are…

    1. mister kluge What a surprise, deflecting it onto Trump lol. You snowflakes need to find someone new to cry about

    2. Sinned Edifacs it’s not about what people wants to be. It’s about what they believe the facts are.

  5. Good on her for realizing her wrongs and growing from it. Racism and bigotry can come from more than one corner.

  6. Abraham Lincoln, Charleston, Il. Sept. 18, 1858: “I am not, nor ever have been in favor of bringing about in any way the social and political equality of the white and black races.

    1. “It’s not what you said that matters, it’s what you do”
      Can you explain why there was a civil war? Can you explain why the slaves were freed?
      Did you hit your head this morning or are just naturally stupid?

    2. Tamatik Canada the civil war was to preserve the union, not free slaves. Although the freeing of slaves was an outcome of the war, it was not the North’s goal.

    3. Abraham Lincoln, Washington, Sept. 22, 1862 in his proclamation freeing the salves: “…all persons held as slaves within any State or designated part of a State, the people whereof shall then be in rebellion against the United States, shall be then, thenceforward, and forever free.”

    4. The Civil War was fought over slavery. The Confederacy was not ready to give it up because its economy couldn’t function without 4 million slaves to pick its crops. Abraham Lincoln wanted to freedom for African Americans. For much of his career, Lincoln believed that colonization or the idea that a majority of the African American population should leave the United States and settle in Liberia or Haiti. Lincoln saw no way that black and white people could live together peaceably.
      Lincoln first publicly advocated for colonization in 1852, and in 1854 said that his first instinct would be “to free all the slaves, and send them to Liberia” (the African state founded by the American Colonization Society in 1821). Nearly a decade later, even as he edited the draft of the preliminary Emancipation Proclamation in August of 1862, Lincoln hosted a delegation of freed Black men and women at the White House in the hopes of getting their support on a plan for colonization in Central America. Given the “differences” between the two races and the hostile attitudes of white people towards Black people, Lincoln argued, it would be “better for us both, therefore, to be separated.” Lincoln’s support of colonization provoked great anger among Black leaders and abolitionists, who argued that African Americans were as much natives of the country as white people, and thus deserved the same rights. After he issued the preliminary Emancipation Proclamation, Lincoln never again publicly mentioned colonization, and a mention of it in an earlier draft was deleted by the time the final proclamation was issued in January 1863.

    5. @Robert Clawson
      Seems pretty straightforward.
      Thanks for the clarification. Now if only the Libtards would get over what happened over 100 years ago. It’s 2020, time for the Libtards to move on.

  7. Has anyone ever really read the Old Testament???
    Jews claim God is okay with them owning other human beings as property… slavery.
    Leviticus 25:44-46
    If you read it in NIV it lays it out for us in plain English.

  8. It’s refreshing to hear Jemele Hill say that she deserved to be fired, rather than give the standard P.R. response, “This is not who I am.”

    1. Luke Caldwell
      Left wing leadership is failed leadership – every fire department, police department, public teacher or administrator, every city worker is democrat-socialist mismanagement on steroids. These people are nearly always over-worked, understaffed and underpaid.

      The US spends more per capital on educating kids than anywhere in the EU and we get lowered expectations and results every year.

      Wake up, kid.

    2. Rob Johnston Yes but if a white person made a similar comment related to blacks, not even if FOX would hire them. They’d have to find a new career. She’s just arguing that there should be a double standard for prejudiced blacks. Kareem nails it compared to this lameness.

    1. i was thinking the same thing. I mean say anything about any race except the Jews. I don’t understand.

  9. If you have selfish ignorant citizens, you’ll end up with selfish and ignorant politicians…..
    George Carlin

  10. Remember how outraged and incensed jemele was when Drew Brees simply said he wouldn’t kneel for the anthem. Wheres the outrage for desean jackson?

  11. I find it interesting I work for a Jewish people and everything I have to go into their areas all eyes on me and been told to go back to my area a few times so where is my injustice can I take them to educate them about black people 🤔 yeah I think not because they are self centered

  12. I’m sorry there has to be some truth to what Nick Cannon says because if not then all of these so called religions are scams because i know Christianity definitely is 🤔

    1. As an athiest I cant tell you how much I agree with you we need people like us to run for government

  13. People literally took a 2 minute clip from an hour and 30 minute video and immediately tried to call the guy anti-semitic for bringing up facts.

    also since we’re talkin about the Jewish community how come they didn’t speak out loudly when Israel was sterilizing Ethiopian Jews without their consent?

    How come the Jewish community is never front and center on to denounce Ben Shapiro when he says a whole bunch of made-up bull crap about the black community?

    Anytime interact with Louis Farrakhan people attempt to call them anti-semitic by proxy the attack anyone whoever speaks to him.

    But none of you ever actually talked to the guy and get his opinion and position.

    The Jewish community Rabbis and Louis Farrakhan never talk to each other about views. What you guys continuously take one side.

    And it seems like they always put black people in front of the camera exercising other black people for exercising their free speech
