I dont live in the USA but would like to send my sincerest condolences to the Floyd family. Such a tragic loss may he rest in peace. It’s time for change. We all deserve EQUALITY. I myself am heartbroken to learn how African American men woman and children have had to live their lives generation after generation. I dont understand why someone back in the 1600 s thought they could treat another fellow human being like this. We are not in the 1600s anymore and it’s time for everyone’s mindset to change. Justice for Mr. Floyd and so many others needs to happen. Now
@ Jenn Prance As an African American woman born in the 50’s and have seen a lot in my days, I Thank You…Beautiful message!
@Patrik Olofsson even if it was counterfeit, did he know? I was handed one once with change only 5.00 however it happens
@Brian Hard *Equality is a world goal.

@Patrik Olofsson *Plus he was clean and had been on a NON crimnal path for ten years at the time he was viscously murdered.*

What did this guy do for america
@andrew reynolds
What did the guys before him do for America?
@andrew reynolds divided it more and one step closer to socialism
It is not mayors alone that affect change; it is those that enlisted in law enforcement; perhaps a new Public Service Draft should be established.

Almost felt like we had a real president for a hot minute
Sam lol
@Ginafe Lagilay The controversy around that is based on a bug with Xerox scanners that can alter content on scans. Google for Xerox Scanner bug.
He’s the only stand up leader who holds more character as a former president to actually address the nation. I’m so proud he was our president
Ginafe Lagilay go away
Ginafe Lagilay if this is your only straw to grasp, feel sad that you’re still grasping at it. Unbelievably Pathetic
audio very low cmon
E Dar what do you have to contribute, besides knocking someone else to feel better about yourself?
“we tortured some folks”
You are the problem. Stop changing the subject.
The evils of the entire planet all boil down to the 1%think about it!!!!
Yep. The career-politician elitists who stay in office for decades while enriching themselves, their families, and their cronies while the middle-class shrink and the poor are still poor.
I was very disappointed in the advertising and monetizing of this significant address. It was a real shame to see this message of healing and progress disrupted by greed.
Imagine getting offended by advertisements. You can skip most of them after 5 seconds.
The ad I got was about George
really, you finally woke up to your reality of your party. joke. they steal tax dollars.
Meh. This is Obama, not MLK. Nothing worthwhile here.
It’s was free advert by Google for the Floyd family. Google has addressed this in a post.
OBAMA FOR PRESIDENT AGAIN
👏🏻
Thank you once again you are stepping up in a big way when your country needs you I count myself lucky that we have you as one of our citizens and you were two term president the best president in my lifetime thank you
I wish with ALL MY HEART OBAMA WAS STILL PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES
Things would get worse regardless who’s ‘in charge’ what they want is what they get
