Baratunde Thurston: Black Americans Consistently Show Up For This Nation | The 11th Hour | MSNBC
The World, Americans, Democrats, Most Republicans are calling for Impeachment, if they donโt prosecute for Trump crimes it will be a bad image for those against it, and set an example for future Republican/Democrat President that itโs ok to attack the US Capitol, also that police that pass away was a hero who protected those Congress, the police died leaving his family and children because he protect the Congress, they better not let that police Die in Vain
@nay oti American Cities & businesses are still recovering from the terrorism caused by BLM & Antifa during the summer of 2020. Trump didn’t tell them to invade the Capitol, what he said is 100% protected by the first amendment. ask any lawyer in the country. The woman above told you the truth whether you like it or not.
@Carol Gage You live in an alternative world? There’s probably no human power to convince you of the real world. What a shame.
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.
@AT 1984 what an argument!
Just like we’ve been hearing since the election.
Its a Guiliani, Powell argument.
Now remind me, who is getting inaugurated on Jan 20th?
@Steve Smith He has a point.
We love you and your immense contribution for centuries to this nation.
Half of the US population doesn’t deserve the luxury and security they enjoy.
What new ideas are giving you energy lately? (I must say that this is a very positive way to initiate a conversation.)
I love you for this comment! I love people like you! We don’t want more, we just want equality! We love this country, through pain, oppression, good times, bad times! We just want equality! Not more, not less!
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.
11 days until the trailer trash is removed from the white house
It is like 2 yrs in trump’s world.. they better kick him out now..
Yes Trump can drain himself from the swamp he built. RIGHT ON the stench is killing me.
@Apsara Sangreal I hope someone finds out who paid the Capitol Police to not guard the Capitol. I can’t imagine that to be able accident. We can find out what’s other countries are planning but we can’t find out what’s going on in our own. I was a defense contractor during Y2K and we had better planning and prep than this.
@Douglas Allen me too, brother, me too
He is actually the anathema to poor whites.
Black people have saved this country many times, this is just one of those times.
Lets thanked grass roots movement by Georgia.
OK.. how many times. I want to hear them. Please be specific.
@John A stfu n***A
@Parkway Drive try reading and comprehension idiota
@Grace Munich there’s a law against reading and comprehension? Please stop talking
We consistently show up where we are not wanted.
@Mbr Brm
True true ๐ฏ๐ฏ
You said it best ๐๐พ
We want you!
YOU ARE MORE THAN WANTED AND NEEDED ๐โ๐ปโ๐ผโ๐ฝโ๐พโ๐ฟ๐
Keep it up!
Powerful speech, Mr.Thurston!
Lift every voice and sing !!
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.
@Joe Bloe Perhaps that was his mindset in 1858, but by the 1860’s he conducted himself in such a way as to pave the path towards mending the situation of those subjugated within your country. BtW, you didn’t close the quote.
Thank you very much Baratunde Thurston,,, now let us hope that at least for a season your words will be embraced.
The capitol attacking terrorist who killed the capitol officer seemed to have forgotten their ‘blue lives matter’ platform.
@Ozark YeomanOkay, what does that have to do with being liberals ๐ค, and you also said don’t assume your a Chumpard but you ASSUMED I was a liberal ๐คฃ๐คฃ unlike you I don’t claim any parties, so take this L and have a nice day ๐
@Keith Adams In regards to this entire media platform and this point. “White privilege jamboree”. More identity politics and factually incorrect divisiveness. Facebook just deleted the Walkaway campaign with 500,000 testimonials of former Democrats who spoke out against divisive identity based politics and censorship. Ironically, they were mostly women and minorities, and these people are literally cheering on them being silenced. The Trump crowd actually seems to be the better between the two in that regard. Congratulations. I guess now we get back the old foreign meddling, authoritarian Globalist Republican party.
*Capitol
Barathunde is good!
Blue Lives only matter when the police are attacking black and brown people.
Frederick Douglass would have been proud!
True true ๐ฏ๐ฏ
He would also be disgusted by Baby Cheesus claiming to know him. ๐
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.
Indeed! ๐๐ฝ๐๐ฝ๐๐ฝ
That quote is so good “You don’t get to be more American than being owned by America”
@Bryan O’Connell that is a matter of who is the teacher
@Raymond Scott Teachers teach a perspective based on an interpretation of facts such as documents and artifacts from the era.
@Bryan O’Connell well, if you have never been taught a strong root. You will be blown away by anything
@Raymond Scott I believe you are paraphrasing Malcom X.
“If you don’t stand for something, you’ll fall for anything…”
@Apsara Sangreal it doesn’t have to be that complicated. Respectfully.
Iโm a white guy, and many of my best friends are black guys – we grew up together, we bled together on the football field, we graduated from college together, attended one anotherโs weddings, and genuinely love each other. Where I come from, oneโs skin color is irrelevant – itโs about oneโs heart, soul, and the content of oneโs character. Living through the โTrump yearsโ has been a hellish nightmare for all of us, but especially for my friends; thank GOD itโs nearly over. Thank you so very much, my Georgian brothers and sisters, for helping us, and for giving us a chance to hopefully see some real, positive changes moving forward in this country. ๐๐ผ๐ท
@Jenna C kool. I had a friend who was Navajo once. Francis. Lived in Phoenix in 2016. We worked at Circle K together. He thought cus I’m pale that I was a Grandmother Princess story, cus I’m a 1/4 Cherokee. We say ‘Aha’ as “Yes”. Also learn to write Cherokee in Cherokee… is GWY. Thanks for letting me know!
Your brothers and you represent the best of the country. Stay awesome.
@shonen84 hells yeah
Well said! ๐๐พ
@Batgirl P Incorrect, what black people need is social cohesion amongst themselves to surmount racism. White aid has been and is in fact crippling. The help is also beneficial to the white race as a salve on a wound–white guilt which seemingly plagues majority of the aforementioned race–at the expense of developing black independence.
WHITE PRIVILEGE JAMBOREE
Absolutely correct, but stating it like that has me dead ๐
White privilege is not a real thing.
@Luvin Life itโs a real thing to a whole group
@Luvin Life Keep telling yourself that
@Luvin Life Last Year: BLM Protest in DC. No rioting. National Guard deployed.
This Year: MAGAZombie Rampage in DC. Rioting, Deaths. National Guard prevented from deploying for hours.
Sure, no such thing as white privilege. ๐
My hat off to all the black voters!
CRAWL BACK IN YOUR HOLE, LOSER!!
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.
Phantoms too?
“You don’t get to be more American than by being owned by America.”
The thing that amazes me most is how the black community has managed to hold on to the one thing that nobody has been able to take from them. Hope.
Amen.
I am so deeply ashamed of so many American Citizens that I share a skin color with, that it is sickening to me. Iโm deeply and profoundly grateful for that Black American Citizens and all POC. Who took a stand and saved our Nation this and last year! Thank You Truly!
I also feel Stacey Abrams should receive the First Medal of Freedom to be issued by the Biden/Harris Administration!!!!!
Facts ๐ฏ she deserves it.
Amen to that.
Not POC but Black folks. It was our influence that created this change. POC voters like Latinos and Asians actually voted for Trump in higher numbers than Black people.
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.
PLEASE JUST BE ASHAMED OF YOUSELF–LIKE OTHERS ARE ASHAMED OF YOU!!!
This needs to be memorialized in a monument. Absolutely the truth. We owe you our nation.
From a Southern middle aged white woman, Thank you all with all my heart. You have given me hope that our nation can overcome and heal and become what we are supposed to be.
Indeed! ๐๐พ
Seeing that Confederate flag fly in our house was disgusting
@Ash Roskell Security must be beefed up. Their lives could be in danger. In fact the inagauration should be to a secret location.โ๐
@Kitty Chuang
An enabler he should be arrested for treasonous acts.
So what I would fly that flag
Made me sick to my stomach
My neighbor in California flys that flag. WTF
Any person that was not white could have never have gotten away in the storming of the Capitol.
GOOD!!! HAHA — AS IT SHOULD BE, U WHINY WUSS!!!! HAHAHA!!! ( :
That is 100% true- it’s called white privilege’! and IT is killing America
โDragging America, kicking and screaming toward its own creed.โ Whew Chile! I felt that. โ๐พ
I got chills. He is so eloquent.
Beautifully stated….
Mercy!
