Ta-Nehisi Coates: “It’s really important that it’s an actual life. It’s not a slogan that was killed. It’s not a piece of legislation that was killed. It was an actual life that was taken, that was erased off the face of this earth.” Aired on 8/28/2020.

Ta-Nehisi: We Must Understand George Floyd, Breonna Taylor Were Human Lives Taken | All In | MSNBC

  1. We don’t know if accountability will come. This is why we continue to march and stand strong. We keep pushing

    1. @Gw Gw I get it, but I had to learn it. And learn it I did. As soon as I got out of my childhood home and saw the real world, I had a major shift. There are so many people who get it. But you only remember the actions of the really bad actors. It’s Stereotyping and we all do it.
      But Blood for Blood isn’t the solution. Martin is still right. I promise. I’m angry too, but change is a lot slower than we would like it to be.
      Hold On and Vote Blue. Then we can all have an adult conversation and end this 600 year nightmare.

  2. Four books every US citizen should read before November 3rd:
    – ‘The Dictator’s Handbook’
    By: Bruce Bueno de Mesquita and Alastair Smith

    – ‘On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons from the Twentieth Century’
    By: Timothy D. Snyder

    – ‘Our Time Is Now: Power, Purpose, and the Fight for a Fair America’
    By: Stacey Abrams

    – ‘Surviving Autocracy’
    By: Masha Gessen

  3. I understand Mr. Floyd was under the influence of narcotics at the time. I also understand he dabbled in amateur pornography, among other such activities. And, I also understand he was a convicted felon, including an assault with firearm on a pregnant woman. He was a fine upstanding gentleman. A hero, really. Poster child for the BLM movement. Now, get on your knees, and worship his image, America

    1. @Leah Archambault I couldn’t agree more. I was just pointing out the obvious to the oblivious. Mr. Floyd is a poor martyr, and probably by design. You being played, girl

    2. @Leah Archambault what about all the black on black murders or black on white that is never mentioned by blm

  4. Wrong and misguided – this is just showboating for msnbc!
    Missing a whole lot of facts on these cases that contributed to its outcome!

    1. @Stephen Lewis Wow, girl — you can’t seem to meet a factual statement without making a basic logical fallacy. You’re objectively good at fallacy!

    2. @Ben Berzai you better not talk like that around trump remember you really have to dumb it down around him,REMMEBER WHAT HE said “I LOVE UNEDUCATED PEOPLE,WHAT DO THINK HE MEANT BY THAT!!!!

    3. @Nancy simmer The irony of your irascible “sentences” combined with a vapid allusion to others as “uneducated” is an irony lost only on you, stupid.

      You’re not qualified to be the arbiter of anyone’s intellect. You ARE the uneducated.

      EDIT: I LIKED THIS COMMENT

    1. Pull ease this happy nappy headed broad couldn’t even contend with tepid TI. Candace Owens is basically the new n improved Prissy from Gone with the Wind and a wanna be Phyllis Whitley! Candace is a walk-in talkin Modern Day Minstrel Show. If she be so sensational why Biff didn’t feature her at RNC’s 3 ring circus act⁉️🤔🤔🤔‼️

  5. If im Robbed and the mugger is not white or my nationality and I describe him/her to police am I guilty of a hate crime in America?

  6. Why are we celebrating the life of a drug addicted felon that robbed a pregnant woman with a gun to her head?
    I see nothing about David Dorn

    1. I assume you are a trumper. Why is Andrew Jackson trumps favorite President? He celebrated him during the speech last Thursday.

    2. @Stephen Lewis Jackson was the founder of the modern democratic party, fought against the national debt (bankers) and… idk on the $20. Trump likes money.
      I don’t know what a Trumper is. I have never agreed with any president 100% on policy. And my guess is that you were going to say something stupid like slavery

    3. @Stephen Lewis Trump sees to target his energy fighting modern day slavery, like in China. I think that is much more important then tearing down a statue to eliminate history of the USA past.
      How do you feel? Have you ever seen the YouTube channels epoch times or China uncensored? Humanitarians don’t burn down neighborhoods clenching a fist while terrorizing citizens in all black clothing. Terrorists do

  7. It does not matter if George Floyd was on drugs or not that police had no business doing what he did it just as much as white people on drugs is it is black and probably more jmw
