    1. @Dan Hanrahan Who was burning American flags or toppling down statues during the riots? American historical monuments shouldn’t be destroyed!

    2. @Ice Queen Just what I would want to look at on my way to work if I were the descendant of slaves: Insipid statues of murderous fools who fought to keep my ancestors enslaved. No thanks. Tear down Confederate statues and monuments to that evil system.

    1. @S. D. Alexander I must mention something. During Black history month I hope many of today’s amazing black people are brought up . Artist Thomas Blackshear 2nd . As a nurse I was amazed at the skills Dr. Ben Carson had as the best pediatric neurosurgeon in the world . I read his books and listened to his tapes . He is a Republican like myself. Reading about him is mined blowing . Thomas Blackshear 2nd . I do not know his story at all but I have a couple of pieces of his Art Work . He was commissioned to make a United States postal stamp . His art is beautiful. There are several Black people that come to mind that need to be talked about . Even the not so famous. Bishop Johnson was my parents Episcopalian Bishop. He was originally from Africa. I had several dinners at my parents house with him . His view on life and his counsel was exceptional. He died a couple of years ago . His viewing was in D.C. I could go on and on .It is important for all people to understand history and learn from it . It is also important to know today’s unusual Black people. Regardless of their politics.
      People came from all over the world to see Dr. Ben Carson.

    2. @Carolyn Lyford Sullivan What have you done to make sure Black men, woman and black children are not killed by the kkk? And what are you willing to do? Black people are being killed all the time by the kkk police. All that’s being done is nothing. BLM is a way for black people to protest and stand together and say no more, not one more black man killed by the police. The police who hate us because of our skin color. So go back to reading a book about black people who you’ll never be or understand.

  1. Liked the subject of this clip but as usual it was probably shortened. Wish this subject had been covered by another program. Kinda lost it for this program because of what joe said about the people that blocked the ambulance with the cop in it.

    Hope another program has this story that the host don’t seem to be uncomfortable about the subject.

  2. Joe Biden wanted to put Bill Clinton in charge of the covid-19 response but he’s not interested in anything above 15.

  3. The worst “representative” is one
    who has no clue why the constituents “voted” for him/her.
    The most likely person to be found in that position is
    none other than a liar, especially about himself/herself!

    1. @DAVID alm when BLM. Black people are being killed by the white police all the time and nothing is being done about it. All we have left is to SUE. And we will SUE!
