  1. Trump racist since Birtherism; federal penalties for discriminatory housing. Charlottesville?! Please. =x= 0v0

    1. in 1998 Jim McDermott democrat compared Bill Clinton’s impeachment to a lynching. The people did not respond with anger at the statement either.

    1. @Bill Sells there’s definitely areas of New Jersey to avoid like the plague and it is a bit congested in a lot of areas, but it is a great state and gets a bad rap sometimes. It’s getting really expensive to live here and chases life-long residents away unfortunately. Pennsylvania is definitely more “country” and less congested, but New Hampshire is hands-down my favorite part of New England/Northeast…….

    2. @Brian Bianco I did not get to spend enough time in upstate NY, VT, NH, ME, while I was up there. Incredibly beautiful up there, and got even moreso in Quebec.

    3. @Brian Bianco Funny, down here they do a Crawfish boil (for celebration, etc). Large plate of the critters served with red potatoes and corn on the cob that was boiled with them. In Maine, they do it with lobsters!

    4. @Brian Bianco Well, either way, I enjoyed the banter, and if I am ever back up that way, I would enjoy a drink and debate with you. Look me up if you are ever in the area. That is what makes us Americans you know.

  2. Thank you MSNBC for sharing this small segment on the African-American experience with the viewers. What trump said was disgusting, racially insensitive, and every African-American should be equally outraged.

    1. As long you as you know that 27% of all lynchings were done to someone white. The largest mass-lynching in America was Italian Americans and some white people were lynched for helping blacks……P.S.: Unless you are albino, everybody has melanin.

    2. It sounds bad Because PMSNBC Are Lunatics And don’t do Research 3 DemoRats ! 2 were Black and called Bill Clinton’s Impeachment a Lynching ! What ? I hear Crickets

  3. Thank you for showing the strength of explaining the case of Mary Turner, and defining the meaning of “lynching”. Propaganda dissemination is a textbook strategy long implemented by the dark ones (Hitler, Putin, Xi, Trump, ect.) Let’s hope that truth and justice will triumph over lying, cheating, corruption, and deception. The timeless battle between the Light and the darkness continues on!
