Schumer Echoes MLK At JusticeCon: ‘Juneteenth Symbolizes Justice Too Long Delayed’ | MSNBC
Peace and reconciliation are equal sides of a justly polished coin.
i am more interested in reconciliation. that can happen if America goes after all the corporations that used slave profits to starts their corporations by giving reparations to all Balck Americans.
w41duvernay so blm should pay for all the black businesses they destroyed during the rioting and looting. They should pay the families of the black men and women that were killed in those riots and peaceful protest.
w41duvernay
Its not comfortable but Africa was and continues to be complicit in slavery of fellow africans.
Doesnt absolve those corporations but it does give context.
Democracts support the LGBTQ community. *FACT

2016: America learned how dumb and racist it really is.
2020: America learning it doesn’t have to be that way.
@Bud Fudlacker democrats tried stopping the virus from even coming to the US, at the same time that Trump was calling the virus a “Democrat hoax”. I watched it happen in real time, and it is well documented by every single news outlet except Fox, who was saying the same wrong thing as Trump. Your argument is invalid.
@Bud Fudlacker Total BS
@William H Music 2020 Because of Trump … but the cure is on its way …
@Rod Cops suffocate Black people on the street, and that’s a “narrative”? You are a clown and a disgrace in total denial. (Also, there’s no realistic option to “reject globalism.” It’s our reality, as the pandemic, among other things, clearly shows.)
Ro G Id Like To Quote You On Facebook….Is it OK?🇺🇸💙✊🏿✊🏻✊🏾💙🇺🇸‼️ I Witnessed As A Child On An Island in Southern “Cali” in The 60s…African Americans Fighting For Equal Rights on TV… Young Men Burning Draft Cards/Fleeing To Canada…Women Burning Their Bras & Protesting For Equality Too…, Just Like Those Two Groups Did Together For Voting Rights Won In 1919-20 in USA!!! Black Men & White Women Marching Together For Their Common Cause!!! African Americans & Women In This Country Equality Still NOT HAPPENING…..BUT FOR PEOPLE OF COLOR… IT IS SOOOOO!MUCH WORSE!!!! I Digress…
My Point Is For Me They All Woke Up About Racism 1950s Debated It In 60s – 70s… Pretended to do Something in The 80s- 90s … Then Like You Said They Are Paying Attention Now!?!Technology And A Cell Phone Exposed The Graphic Evil & Heartlessness of Law Enforcement… There’s No Turning Back Now!!!!
I Am Really Glad 🇺🇸💙✊🏿✊🏾✊🏻💙🇺🇸‼️. 💙✌🏼💙🌈
Chuck Schumer is a good man supporting Martin Luther King & Juneteenth & calling out Donald tRump & Systematic Racism!
@Bud Fudlacker you won’t get a response
Democrats killed DR. Martin Luther king , now they want ” gun control “
@Donee Stoner : Yes that was a beautiful heartfelt speech Chuck Schumer gave compared to moronic tRump droning on much a do about nothing good.
Emilyin Wonderland You really are an “Emily in Wonderland”, but most of us live in reality, and since “facts don’t care about your feelings”, this looks very different from your fantasy wonderland.
@Bud Fudlacker he can’t he just comes on here every day and runs his mouth like a little f****** baby
BIDEN 2020 ! 🙌🏽 VOTE! PLEASE VOTE !
Rod OMG ! “Trump couldn’t point out Ukraine on a map if there was a picture of a Crane and a U next to it “! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Biden seems like a nice guy, but he’s a bit ripe .
As Clint Eastwood says, ” a man’s gotta know his limitations “
Minnie Minosa and you refer this comment to Biden instead of Trump? 🤭🤔 Interesting
@Heaven Sent ah yeah , Trump is a lot of things but not a nice guy. Would you feel better if I wrote he was ?
That’s ok nice guys finish last.
Oh I’m voting but it’s not for sleepy Joe
What we have in common is far greater than what separates us.
Actually in reality Democracts support Transvestites and HOMOSEXUALS. *FACT

@William H Music 2020 you mean democrats support equality, and Republicans dont? We all knew that already. Republicans just make our soldiers invade and occupy foreign countries, while many people die, and they get rich. Republicans invaded Iraq on a now indisputably proven lie.
@William H Music 2020 Gorsuch and Roberts, lol, you loser.
Thanks for explaining Juneteenth!! General knowledge right there & everyone should be aware of it. The BLM movement on our minds and protests are happening. We are becoming more aware of what needs to change. But moreover, action is needed. Let’s not let this momentum die down. Here are tips on how we can sustain and really make change stick: youtu.be/hEe67ogiKLg
Make American Great Again ! DUMP TRUMP !!!!!!!!!! Vote blue no matter who !
sanctimonious speeches like this are why there won’t be a democrat majority in government or a democrat in the whites house as far as the eye can see after november 😂
@Russian Bot LOL , just because your boy friend says that about you does not mean that everybody swings the way you do .
@Richard Thomas you’ve already put your foot in your mouth once keep going
@Russian Bot Don’t forget to tell me that my mother wears Army boots . That is what a person with your IQ does .
@Richard Thomas I bet your boyfriend does
Benedict Bone Spurs says MAGA loves black people and that he has done more for black people than anybody. Except maybe Abraham Lincoln. I guess this includes Martin Luther King.
Trump was talking about politicians and he’s right 100%

Arizona: 3,246 cases today
Florida: 3,822 cases today
This is what happens when you ignore scientists and listen to Trump! The blood is on his hands
I bet you blame Trump when you run out of soy too, huh? 🤣
@Rod You know you’ve lost the political argument when all you can do is insult. You’re kind of like Donald in that regard.
Cases…..not deaths. Cases. This comes with more testing
Cases mean NOTHING! Increased testing shows increased cases. If they are testing people under 50 without underlying medical conditions they WILL NOT DIE!
@Football Nerd lolz the entire msnbc comment section is nothing but liberals insulting people
the demented childish left are absolutely blind to their own atrocious hypocritical behavior
Wonderful speak. I would add God bless this earth.
That’s right! Now vote Trump out!
And God Bless, Senator Schumer. What beautiful statement sums up the Truth in our hearts . ” What it is to say you are an American is that our shared ideals and values come out of our hearts.
@ is trending..Trump has outside agitators coming to tulsa to mix it up with his base…SO HE CAN BLAME DEMS…..IT’S TRUMPS PLAYBOOK!!!!!!!!!!!
Trump doesn’t control Antifa you psycho nut job 😂
That’s a smart move. Trump’s a genius.
@KAISER OUTDOORS ..OH YES HE DOES…PLEASE EXPLAIN THESE VERY FINE PEOPLE…….👉WHITE NATIONALISTS POSING AS ANTIFA👈

@Barb Ebersole yes and it will cause MANY INNOCENT LIVES…one can only hope trump suffers a PAINFUL HATE FILLED DEATH
When a case gets national attention based on race most times a black is in charge, many times a female but every time a democrat.
just wear your mask and remember a Tazer is either a lethal weapon or not depending on who is firing it.
Please mention the red nations once in a while
Perfect examples of failed socialism run by the American government
HEY HEY HO HO; UNCLE BEN HAS GOT TO GO.
Justice delayed is too often justice denied. We need justic NOW.
If I ever meet a smart Republican, I will be surprised.
If you want to know more about Juneteenth, look at the history of Galveston, and the slave trade. You will see the history of Texas and the slave owners. This history will send chills up your spine. Also, look at the history of Houston’s wards, and how slave labor built this city. If anyone knows about Juneteenth and what it means is Texas. I thank this Senator for a uplifting message. It would be a interesting documentary if it was told by the right perspective.
