Democratic Congressman Al Green of Texas joins MSNBC’s Joshua Johnson to discuss his push for the Department of Reconciliation to heal the nation. In the spirit of President Lyndon B. Johnson who declared the War on Poverty in 1964, Green details that the aim of the department is not only to relieve the symptoms of racism and invidious discrimination but to cure and prevent racism and invidious discrimination in American life.» Subscribe to MSNBC:

What experts?
Jay Gibson you are. Im talking about now. A handful of republicans are of color and a lot of the the people you named aren’t even republican or are alive
Jay Gibson i think you are just spewing names like a moron and you have no idea why
Carlos Duque
You could find out for yourself.
Jay Gibson the grand wizard david duke is a republican.lol answer me this. How many KKK members of today identify with the democratic party??? I’ll wait….
Only the man in the mirror can “cure racism”
@Dave Schultz What do you do for a living Dave?
very true.
@tin pan alley 1619 Broadway But he is right. M.J. may have sung it….but only a person can change their ways. And that goes for anything. Not just race.
He or she can be coached into looking into the mirror
tin pan alley 1619
People can’t change the way they look, so maybe we should change the way we see. 🙂
You ever give a hobo a make over?
Michael Jackson became white
Michelle Obama had breast implants and his willy cut off
Maybe you’re naive and unintelligent Lloyd 🤔

#ADOLFTRUMP
You’re past the point of being stupid
Dementia Marble-mouth Creepy Uncle Joe for president
😁😁😁😁
But everything bad is happening in Democratic ran cities. Some that are completely ran blacks. Explain your reason this is Pres Trumps fault.
Again, take a history class cause you know nothing about WWII or Hitler if you believe that. MOARON
Moron get a life!
IF the cops fear for their lives when the black man used the taser on them, THEN why wouldn’t the black man fear for his life when the cops used the taser on him?
Why can’t white man apply the law fairly?
Dude was punching cops then stole taser and tried to use it
@Troy Stocker Why can’t white cops follow the law and rules of decency?
@Howie Will I democrats haven’t made the cities better in 50 years, yet you fools keep voting for them
@Troy Stocker yeah, like the white man is soooo law abiding, you freaking mongrel. The difference is simple, white people don’t get pulled over for driving while white or for driving a car the racist cop considers too expensive for a black man to be driving. Think about that for awhile, asshat.
Above all else Stand America. This has got to stop. BLM. You have to stop taking fathers,mothers sisters and brothers from their families
Ironic that so many of the troopers I served with at Ft. Braxton Bragg would have been enslaved by General Bragg!
Simply start putting them in prison that will stop it
Criminals? Yea, we do that already.
@C. S. The real criminals are the cops that are committing unjustified murders against Blacks
black12212 like in the George Floyd case? New Flash, he’s in jail & will probably be there the rest of his life.
@black12212. 19 murdered in Chicago in 24 hours!
@Randy Couch Memorial Day weekend had the most gun violence in 60 years, plus Illinois has strict gun laws too
I remember when cops gave chase to people
B Britt How were the cops going to chase someone had his Tazer? He is going to get taxed.
They did chase him, until he turned around and fired a stolen police taser at the officer chasing him. Don’t fire weapons at the police.
B. Britt, I remember the Chase’s as well, if cops had to shoot they only shot the assailant in the leg to stop he or she.
America back to the Native Americans! Let’s go ALL the way.
BRAVO.!
Be like the gangs of New York .
They lost stop crying
L
I love this man. (lets stay together) loved him in the 60s and now he is talking out adout injustice to our fellow bros. and sisters.
I’m so tired of being alone.
Does he talk about the 70% fatherless rate in the black community?? The real cause of this issue!
I sure like Al Green
brilliantly said, ty rep green and mr johnson.
So I’m supposed believe a guy at home with a mask on!
it remains mildly amusing but even more so pathetic when russian trolls ‘drop by’ to comment on youtube videos about American issues while they pretend to be Americans. granted, they wish that they were. even as bad as things are here right now, thanks directly to trumputin and putin, it is still better than their ‘country’, under putin. add to that the fact that trumputin is only here temporarily but they are stuck with their dictator for life. funny, putin is a dictator but also a worldwide laughingstock, on oh so many levels. that these poor pathetic trolls do this for money, 85 rubles for each direct reply, is even more pathetic. they prostitute themselves for just about the equivalent of $1 American money… wow, really pathetic. but also really quite amusing.
@mary jones Poor Mary with a anger management problem! Say hi to China Joe Biden for me!
we need to EDUCATE, ppl become what they’ve learned, specially inside their family nucleus, I believe racism can be erradicated through education, knowledge and sharing between races….😉
Johanna Hidalgo Education is what will work but will take 1 or2 generations.
Department of Reconciliation. Great idea. You’ll never get it under Trump.
Get off the Trump thing it’s never going to happen anyway would take 2 party’s to agree and we know that won’t happen!
@3:45 The reporter said ‘when George Floyd was shot’ – George Floyd was not shot. The police officer [kneeled on] his neck/throat area for over 8 minutes.
To Al Green:
Whatever you want to do
Is all right with me
Cause you make me feel so brand new
Stylistics
I play this song for you
Black Lives Matter, only when they want their vote.
Black racism is dangerous, as the corruption of US politicians.
The Most High told you who your enemy is. It’s time you believe Him.
