Rev. Barber: Why Michael Bloomberg Apology Isn't Enough | Morning Joe | MSNBC
“Three things can not hide for long: the Moon, the Sun and the Truth.” ― Gautama Buddha
man can’t stop it from coming to the light Karma is real
I dunno, the American voters seem pretty stupid thus far
You are absolutely correct ROSE ,You can’t hide the truth most especially when it is clear …
Not in Trump land!!!
Imagine, falling for another dishonest billionaire. Christ.
@Rain Walker He can help defeat Trump as a major donor. But he does not need to be President.
This is what law enforcement faced in NY in the ’80s and ’90s.

@Rain Walker I respect Bloomberg for that too!
@J. Noble I have thought all along trump isn’t a billionaire!
That will surely happen because,simply because this is a capitalist COUNTRY and if we don’t change that the rich will be the rulers.After all democracy only exist if we can keep it?
Rev is 100% right. Bloomberg doesn’t regret implementing stop & frisk. He regrets that it came backstage too haunt his run for potus.
@Pancho Villa fake Russian Youtube account. Russian bot detected.
@Pancho Villa bootlicker. Id like to see your reaction to coming home from a long day of work for a cop to stop you for literally no reason. Stop and frisk doesnt do anything except making everyone hate cops and thats no way to prevent crime
Pancho Villa “They” have a problem with You thinking you know everything.
Norma Ragland He’s judge dredd and robocop!
For sure ..He is right …Diane .
First time I’ve heard a black man talk about native problems.
Thank you brotha! A’ho!
@Adaryll Kelly Talk to America every chance you get your not alone.STAY WOKE
@Trippy Tiffy America will never grow up America was founded on a lie that makes white pride and the white establishment real and puts them today in a panic of fear that they are on the edge of no longer existing in the numbers of the past and they fear of retaliation from others for their past and current deeds.Except it you was the underdeveloped animal not the rest of the human racist ONLY THE WHITE MAN BELIEVED IT SELF TO BE PERFECT.
Yes Penny ,He hit the nail to the head ..The truth well spoken ..
Now if we can get Native Americans to speak on black problems.
Isn’t wonderful how all of the talking heads except the good Reverend, are ignorant or ignores issue dear to the black community, so to them “stop and frisk” the infringement of the sovereign rights of fellow Americans is excusable because we need to get rid of Trump.
Not after what he did to the minorities in New York. He made them targets for the POLICE.
Very few stopped had any drugs or weapons but over 1.5 million were stopped and frisked. Imagine the emotional toll that this takes on a person. Treated less than Human. It’ Humiliating.
Bloomberg helped curb hundreds of wanton killings – extreme yes, but it worked and New York is much safer now. What would you have done?
@Arden McConnell Crime went down in New York, just like the rest of the US over the time Stop & Frisk was going on. That policy was a failure. Other factors brought crime down.
Michael Bloomberg I’m sorry for everything now vote for me
I’m voting for whoever the Democrats nominate – Bloomberg included.
That is right in certain way. However, it is really sad to see that this guy, “Blooper/meme/emoji,” could buy an election. This feeling sucks!
@omi god Progressives will stay home and not vote for Bloomberg. “Vote Blue No Matter Who” just allows the Democratic Party to remain corrupt.
@William Ferguson Staying home just allows the most criminal Administration in history to stay in power, and thus we see revealed the TRUE motivation of the Bernie Bro – to turn America into a white-male-dominated fascist state.
@omi god Bloomberg is a more competent Trump. You guys are nuts, or extreme Trumpists.
Donny Deutsch calls for civil unrest, while he hides safely in his bunker.
Donnie Deutsch already told us he’d rather vote for Trump than allow a Socialist into the WH.
@kray97 “Socialist”
many will make his bunker not so safe and it will be all in his head as it was in the past .I LIKE TO CALL IT KARMA
@kray97 and he like many others will be visited by karma.GOD KNOWS HIS JOB YOU NEED TO JUST LET GO AND LET HIM DO IT
Bloomberg also said that we need to tax the poor more, to regulate their behavior
thats every capitalist’s point of view though. why do you think we pay so much taxes and they dont? lol
So that tellers you that he feels that is thoughts are perfect.Now you and I can say that he would be far worst then 45 because he do have some ideal as how government works .STAY WOKE
Try cleaning your ears out. I heard him say the rich like him should pay more in taxes.
I don’t believe you.
Thank you rev. We need to look the whole picture and take into consideration their past.
Rev. Barber, you hit the Nail on the head….it’s much, much more.
@NDFOOTBALL You sound like a bot or somebody who got paid to say that. Which is it?
@Glenda Lewman Yea, but don’t bring the past with you.
@NDFOOTBALL There are some Blacks for Trump. I think I’ve seen at least one standing behind him at some of the rallies.
@Glenda Lewman Trump wants to run against Bernie because he has successfully branded Bernie as a Communist. Bernie isn’t a Communist, not even close, but facts don’t matter in this election. Trump wants to run against Bernie and that’s why when you see a pro-Bernie comment, you don’t know if it’s coming from a Bernie supporter or a Trump supporter. Strange world.
Wow. Someone says something you find ironic. Ur educated response is to accuse them of being a Russian bot. And u call the right crazy conspiracy theorist. Hahahaha. Yall are below idiots.
So, it’s ok for a billionaire to purchase his way into the most powerful position in the world. We’ve already got a puppet, now we’re supposed to go full oligarch?
They feel if Trump can do it anybody with money can do it just buy the Presidency it’s up for sale.
People have a hard time imagining something worse than trump
Rev. Barber is right, demand more. And remember Dr. West’s remark on the black political class: it “confuses the gravy train with the freedom train” ✌🏼
And most a black Americas are riding the gravy train to day ie the NAACP .I got mine and if you come from the right family we will help you.YOU LEARNED WELL FROM YOUR WHITE MASTERS
“ it didn’t happen to, you designed it to” – Trevor Noah
I just listened to that commentary. It was legendary.
This panel seems to have been instructed that they are not allowed to utter the words “Bernie Sanders.”
Second that…Welcome to the “Elite Opinion” I think the reverend tries to be neutral…in the meantime, let’s talk about memes and emojis! Give me a break.
Bloomberg said at MIT that half the teachers should be fired.
I live in upstate New York most of them do .Union contractes prevent that from happening and many of the teachers her came from other failed professions that they worked in before teaching
@Mae Gary There’s a difference between earning tenure at MIT and being an instructor (not even professor) at low level colleges. While I agree that there are professors that are terrible at their job, that’s not really the same thing as the argument you’re bringing up.
For me, an avid anti-trump person- Bloomberg is probably a bridge too far.
Then what is Trump? You would take Trump over Bloomberg? Must not be very anti-Trumbonr if that’s the case
@Chuck Wortman No, nominate one of the other candidates.
I want a person who will knock trump on his fat butt! So far the Democratic line up is great but those left leave me worried except for Pete Buttigieg.
The fanatical evangelicals want trump because he will put in judges that are far right winged, meaning their against abortion and homosexuality. They actually are prepared for us to enter a Cival War over it. I know this because most of my family are fanatical evangelicals.
I quit going to church when they began teaching trump was chosen by God.
So, when Mike Bloomberg came on board, I thought now maybe here is someone who might could really get trump out!
Bottom line. I will vote for whoever is nominated that isn’t Republican.
“We’ll get back to his enforcement of systemic racism later. Real question: Does he have a Snapchat filter? HAHAHAHA”
This is sickening
Donny: “yeah but back to the memes.”
I wanted to puke at the end. Rev actually speaking for the community about what is really important for millions of people… all to be completely dismissed for “MEMESS OH WHAT ARE THOSE?! TALKING GIF FACE??”
@Kenneth Jackson With Trump in office everybody is showing their true colors. We knew they always took the Black vote for granted. Bernie is going to change all of that and they are scared. Bernie’s marched with Blacks. Bernie’s with to jail with Blacks. Bernie’s stood up and fought for Blacks, now Blacks are going to stand up and vote for Bernie.
There’s a candidate that does talk about health care, better wages, voting rights for felons. Say it. Bernie Sanders.
The ONLY ONE
@JERMAINE WREN ruck off
And what has he accomplished in 40 years? Where is his coalition of followers in the house and senate that will help push through his measures? It’s great that he has people following him, but unfortunately, the people who need to be behind him are not. Which makes his stands pipe dreams.
@K Jo That’s why those people who don’t stand with Bernie will be voted out. Those people you talk about haven’t done anything for anybody and don’t want to. Bernie does and he will.
THE END OF THE USA B S WOULD BE DUMMY! Q WAKE UP KID!
Bloomberg
– Supported the Iraq war and still thinks it was a good idea
– Started Surveillance of Muslims in NY
-Funded Michigan Governor Rick Snyder who created the lead-water crisis in Flint
