    1. @Baron E Yo cuz, chill out. They is plenty of black folks like me votin’ fo Trump. No what I’m saying G? Get off da Democrat plantation my brotha, #WalkAway.

    2. @Sick Game Squad is dat ri’ u’sayn… Na’ weeza gon’ ge ri dat bussa… And with that being said, go to bed dude!!!

    3. Also, you reference an opinion piece as of it was fact. Here is what wiki says about the author. She is known for her pro-police views[8] and her opposition to criminal justice reform,[9] as expressed in her book The War on Cops and columns such as “The Myth of the Racist Cop”[10] and “The Myth of Systemic Police Racism.”[11].

    1. Elevated Status wow you racist dems really get mad when we leave the plantation lol. You should be afraid of trumps black vote.

  1. this was the most important MSNBC segment of the day. thanks Ali Velshi and your guests for great reportage

    1. Nobody is talking about the swarm of pro conservative bots that plague the YouTube comments in trending news and its objectively a worse problem here than Twitter.

  2. People, we have all experienced what has happened over these past 6 months. Do not let fairytales that you hear on TV or read on social media let your forget what we KNOW.
    We KNOW it’s time for Trump to GO.

  3. Let’s put integrity, empathy, and honesty back in the White House. Cause not ONE is currently there now.

    1. The BizzMoneyB FACT: The MEDIA is “sowing the disinformation”!!!!!!! They would have you believe that the Police around the country are a bunch of racist Trump supporters roaming around looking for black men to assassinate!!

      FACTS: Unarmed Black men shot and killed by Police in 2019: 9-13, depending on what media outlet you read! Yes, you are reading that right, nine to thirteen!! Black men shot and killed by black men: 2,570 (latest FBI numbers, 2018). Note: This 2,600 number is out of a total of 2,925 black men shot and killed. That means that 89% of all black men are shot and killed BY BLACK MEN!! So, what is the REAL problem in America???

    2. @Trailin’ Annie The real problem is that police are killing black people unjustly because of their race and then are protected by the system and are not prosecuted unless their death goes viral if they are prosecuted at all.

    1. Face book is hurting, people are leaving, this is evident from the ads for it showing up. I could be wrong, but I’ve never seen ads for Facebook before this week.

  4. Pro Tip: If someone leads with “As a lifelong Democrat voter who is black….” then says they’re voting for Trump, it’s a troll. Trump is losing support by the day. Biden will be the next POTUS.

  5. Yep, we see this all over YouTube as well. What are you doing about it YouTube? Twitter is under the microscope, why aren’t you?

  6. Seldom in the last 100 years have we watched a democracy disintegrate like this, Communist countries yes! Democracies no!

  7. If everyone stopped using Facebook and deleted it from their life, the world would be a better place!

  8. Why do we keep pretending we’re worried about Biden’s mental state when Trump parades his unfit mind constantly?
    This is Trump saying exactly what he would do with another four years:

    “But so I think, I think it would be, I think it would be very, very, I think we’d have a very, very solid, we would continue what we’re doing, we’d solidify what we’ve done, and we have other things on our plate that we want to get done”

    This is real. Look it up.

  9. They will go as far as sending out text saying “don’t bother voteing today” early returns say Trump is loosing and can’t catch Biden.
