When you sit on your Lazy ass and make ZERO effort to improve yourself, you will never move forward or improve. There are MILLIONS of successful Black people in America

Women vote, slavery is abolished, and the LGBTQI has escaped the abuse of their closet, we will never return to any of these pasts! Reality is too difficult for R's! I am sick if their prejudice, sexism, bigotry & hate! Enough is enough!

Biden's plan; do nothing and hope no one notices. No student loan forgiveness, no med4all during a pandemic (tell me how you will 'make it afforadable Joe?'), no 15/hr min wage. Well at least the speach was 'heartfelt' Trump 2024 no one will vote for Biden if keeps doing nothing!

Racist never get tired they just multiply

That’s right it’s all racist BS

CLOCKWISE Intuit, Friend of Family-Business person with a penchant for doublethink, strange currency, Dropbox, and hapless local politician who is maybe clueless.

Sanctions were imposed on South Africa during apartheid, the world looked on and said this is unacceptable. So why is the US different? Because it has been an acceptable institutionalized bias which has been supported by laws passed by old white men who believe in white supremacy

Even in the most egalitarian society on the planet, you can find signs of inequality and discrimination, if you want to.

Move on then.

Yeah they didn't loot and rob and burn innocent businesses down. Nowadays just a bunch thugs and punks that have no idea why they are marching. Lock them up and throw away the keys.

What is 'The Big Lie'? 'The Big Lie' is that conservative Republican voters believe in the concept of Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness for all Americans regardless of their race, religion or gender.

HeyNikki1 COMMENT NOO XOYN PRISON TURKIYE. XOYN NOOOOO FRANCA. THANK YOU COMMENT I like what you share.

Which basic human rights are they fighting for?

We need to enhance education in reason and ethics. The foundation to ethics via the science of rights:

Yeah but they had a real reason to be upset...

Ali Velshi talks with Birmingham residents about the constant battle for equalityIn honor of Black History Month, Ali Velshi is in Birmingham, Alabama, one of the birthplaces of the Civil Rights Movement to meet with local members of the community. No matter how much it has changed, locals will always know the city's fraught history intimately. They discuss their respective ties to the historic Civil Rights Movement and how those ties inform their views of the racial justice movement taking place today. Breaking Snooze: Biggest fraud in US elections was the spreading of lies that there was widespread fraud in US elections. this is terrible news So true. All of the programs and people that have come before have not had any effect. They have all been failures. It’s basically like we’re still living in 1860 the way white people treat black people. Absolutely no difference.

Velshi Across America: Members of California’s AAPI community say “the fear is real”In the last year, more than 6,600 incidents of verbal and physical assault against Asian-Americans and Pacific Islanders have been reported in the U.S. And that’s likely a real undercount. Ali Velshi sits down with six members of California’s AAPI community -- from Sheriffs to chefs -- in San Francisco to talk about how difficult the last year has been, the painful choices they’ve had to make, and what needs to change going forward. Says Debra Wong Yang, a former police commissioner, judge, and prosecutor, “bystanders are just there and they're just watching as if it's all okay. And that's not the America that I know. It's not the America that I-- that I represent. I stepped in once to be a witness as local bullies were accosting a gay Black teen. I got slammed over a brick wall by the VaBeach cops for my trouble. Then arrested & turned over to SP. Everything was wiped clean by the Police and SP and Duty Station, as if it never happened. Well they have to take movies on their telephones to post online. I've been working out so I can jump in if I ever come across someone being attacked. Adrenalin will take over.

Velshi: Big government is not socialismThe GOP is a party with literally no agenda other than to sabotage the current administration, and their continued narrative about socialism is misleading. President Biden has not promised nor carried out anything that remotely resembles socialism. However, Biden does believe that big government is back -- the idea that government involvement in certain aspects of public policy can be helpful. While we don’t want or need government in our lives all the time, there are some things we just can’t do on our own. AliVelshi Do you think this is what people really need right now? AliVelshi Republican + 10 years = Democrat AliVelshi Or weak minded.

Velshi: The story of Vincent Chin is American historyThe Asian American and Pacific Islander community has a rich and varied history in America, but not many non-Asian Americans know about Vincent Chin. On June 19th, 1982, Vincent Chin was out celebrating his bachelor party in Detroit, when two white men beat him to death because he “looked” Japanese. His killers never spent a day in jail and they were only fined $3,000. The murder of Vincent Chin sparked the first mass-movement around Asian American Civil Rights, and it led to the passing of the Hate Crimes Prevention Act, which established that everyone in America is protected against hate violence. It’s time we tell his story. AliVelshi Ok, and the story about chinese exclusion act 100 years ago AliVelshi So why are so many blacks attacking Asians in NYC How about bringing that to your headlines AliVelshi Must be hard to stalk trump for news huh?

Velshi: Immigration has been good to AmericaAfter four years of an administration that conflated our southern border issues with actual immigration policy, some Americans believe immigration should be severely curtailed or shouldn’t exist at all. That’s what you call ordering a side of xenophobia with your economically flawed main course. The idea that America has been a prime example of innovation and creativity is, in large part, because America has always attracted the best and hardest working immigrants from every corner of the world. But bad immigration policy is narrowing the innovation gap between the U.S. and other countries. America’s immigration is what makes America great --there’s even a 135-year-old statue in New York City, near where the Hudson River meets the Atlantic Ocean, right by where ships carrying immigrants used to come in, dedicated to the idea. But, over time, bad politics has eroded that idea. Despite that, it’s important to remember America is, historically, really good at immigration. And immigration has been really good to America. AliVelshi Not same as illegal immigrants. Try again AliVelshi Forgot to mention legal immigration! AliVelshi South border has really become a crisis, they’re estimating 35,000 children shortly, apparently all of Central America and Mexico are sending their children in hopes that they become citizens and pull in their parents to jump immigration policies into the USA.
