Peniel Joseph: ‘We Are At A Watershed Moment In American History’ | The Last Word | MSNBC
Where is Joe Bidens going to have his rally ?
Biden thought Obama was clean enough!! Can he find a black woman who is clean enough??
@Randy Couch Excuse me? What does your comment even mean?
he’s having his Rally in yours & Randy couch’s mouths & everybody is coming!
@Baby drumphf lol !
Biden will have his in a phone booth so he can make it look full
It is the resiliency, and faith, and love, and willingness, and integrity and humanity, and dignity,,,,
Of The African American People.
This is a testament to who the African American people are.
I love what Peniel said.
Perfectly articulated.
And what the Anchorman said
We are not a free country if not all are free.
Colleen Mcwhan looting, burning down buildings, murdering security people, no on dares to talk about this! stunning and brave, lol
70% fatherless children in the black community!
🙏💗👍
I grew up in South Africa. I thought apartheid only existed there. Until I emigrated to the USA and see it here too. Just slightly more veiled.
It’s refreshing to hear someone from Africa admit that they SEE it in America. Most people from Africa (mostly Black Africans) deny it.
@Lucy Renée she’s referring to apartheid South Africa but you probably don’t know much about that nor how it came to excist
I’m from Canada but well said. Sadly.
@David Price Indeed David 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Watch a prison documentary, the supposed leader of the free world has displaced the black community in prisons for profit to lead the world in incarcerations..Hardly veiled at all!!
SOLIDARITY! lets get some forward momentum on our “Ever more perfect union”! Shouldn’t have been held up this long. Hope it doesn’t get worse before it gets better. Everyone needs to vote!
Brett S. Worse than trump not possible he has lowered your credibility bar to a low many would not thought possible.
Omg….
brilliantly said, ty prof joseph and mr velshi. and it is long past time.
White supremacists and “Individual capitalists” wealth and power make or break… Go figure it out
We as black people need to send our smartest young people to
Europe to study, Afterward they can return home to become leaders in the black
communities. Once you learn how other governments treat there citizens, then and only then can you begin to understand the action of your own government. now you have a comparison. The problem with “Black People” is, we just don’t know, what we don’t know. Our education system in America is against black people . The best thing for any person is to travel internationally, learn a foreign language, and watch/study News Reports from other countries. This will give you a different perspective on life.
“FREEDOM”…as POTUS Obama said ” it is not given, it must be taken”.
David’s prayer of penitence, “Create in me a clean heart, oh God….” is asked with humility. Everyone is liable for his own indiscretions.
Organically
We need a massive BOYCOTT
A GENERAL LABOR STRIKE
NO payments on rent-cars and mortgages
Stay Home- Don’t Work
BOYCOTT businesses CEOs and corporations
they voted for trump and created all this chaos
45 million Americans unemployed
118,000 Americans dead of Covid 19
American Farmers bankrupt
A Lot of jobs will Never come back
I hope it is. But I worry that the corruption of the system is already too deep, that we’re over that line into fascism which will be almost impossible to move. The institutions that we need to work for change to happen are NOT working.

America you imported your hate now you don’t like it ?
You are mistaken. This is what Murdoch uses at the summer Sinclair picnics to make sure their fan base never stops learning. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VPf6ITsjsgk
I thought we going to forget history
Oddly..as time marches on the people who worked for trump will act like the draft dodgers of the sixties and seventies…..they will lie about what they did during this time. In the future saying you once worked for trump….won’t be said if it can at all be helped.
Trump is becoming the footnote…a staging phase of something else… what will this look like in 5 years. ?
Juneteenth should’ve been made a National Holiday long time ago, just like July 4th!
