You will never “completely understand” because you are white. You can care deeply. You can inquire about what it is like. You can be told what it’s like from a million black people but you will only ever understand what they’re experiencing hypothetically. It will never be your life, your history, your family, your fear, or your sorrow. Please try not to claim you “completely understand.”
Hey Dave, Maybe it's because you are using the term "rioting" rather than rally or rebellion. The trouble-makers who are looting are different (and separate) from the 10s of thousands who are showing unity and rallying peacfully. The violence is being perpetrated by some of the police. That's why we are here. Simply change your language and you'll be perceived more trustworthy. Just a thought.
Who on earth, thought Ramsey was racist? The amount of people he helps is awe-inspiring. I applaud him for covering this radio show topic when he really didn't have to. Keep doing God's work Mr. Ramsey.
@Sweetness 94...that is the real issue...particularly on college campuses. Just being "White" puts us on the defensive...and THEY, including Wh.ite Left.ist's, are insulting. Jordan Peterson confronts them, and he is highly intellectual...and it is costly, emotionally to be honest, against the liberal media, large and small! Thanks.
It’s because he’s an old white guy with a southern accent. It’s a shame, but that’s life. As a people, most of us just group people we don’t know into groups based on how they look, talk, or act and proceed with their day. It’s a shame, and I hope we as a country can move on from racism and in turn, I hope the world follows.
@@darrellborland119 Dude exactly. I am on university and it is beyond the pale. "Racist" is the new "Heresy" If you ask what solutions should we implement, and then disagree with what the prevailing narrative is, you are a white supremacist. The media has labelled so many intellectuals and thinkers as white supremacists nowadays it is absolutely shameful. Sam Harris, Jordan Peterson, Ayan-Hirsi-Ali, and on and on. I have never seen such intolerance until I went to a progressive university. I have had students say that if you question antifa, you are a fascist.
@@darrellborland119 Jordan peterson's standing up to the mob was amazing. Not intimidated and stood for freedom of thought and speech. He has studied the rise of murderous ideologies for years and the current social justice climate on universities is exactly what led to Soviet Union and the holodomor. (The ukrainian holocaust)
23 years ago I emerged out a divorce broke and in debt. I had no financial direction but knew I wanted one. I just so happen to turn in the radio and there was Dave Ramsey talking about his story, debt, saving and prospering. Listening to him for the first time changed my life. I went on the pay off 23,000 dollars in debt, buy 5 houses and travel the world. Yes. I’m a black man.
Thats like when someone said David Webb is only successful because of his white privilege on the radio, he said "I'm black" and said he was extremely offended by someone saying he didn't earn his success or couldn't have because of his skin colour
RUclips Veterinarian diversity is good. There are plenty of well qualified minorities in all fields it you wouldn’t know it because they don’t necessarily get the same opportunities. It’s absurd to think there is only one or two that are great
@RUclips Veterinarian Diversity is great, but hiring someone because of their skin color instead of their qualifications is just as racist as not hiring someone because of their skin color instead of their qualifications. Dave Ramsey hired the most qualified people, and it just so happened that a couple of them were black.
Dave, as a black man I want to thank you, John, and Anthony for having this discussion. I know you said this is not the realm in which you work as a financial-advisor, but I think because of your willingness to discuss racism, you probably helped validate concerns your listeners in minority groups have. People who frankly don't hear this enough from their white counterparts. Additionally, while I don't believe you are someone who contributes to ignorance, this might have been the first time a white listener heard racism be discussed outside of the headlines in a thought provoking way. I believe that talking about racism even in just one's on life/social circles helps inoculate people from becoming infected by it. This was truly needed and again thank you all.
This is why a lotta people exaggerate with the R word because silence feels like complicity at this point. It's the biggest problem in America and has been for centuries because many aren't comfortable discussing it.
@@Meng776 the whole thing is it goes both ways all ways any race of people can be racist lol the thing is they are making is sound like black people cant be rascist because of history they would never show you real numbers or statistics and any type of stat leading people to the real truth is silenced as well you make up 70 % of the us population lol the best way to get over racism is to be good christians and love your neighbor keep your trust in your father in heavan this world is designed by the liars to be something its not and was never meant to be
Dave said "black community". Thank you for saying that. When people tip-toe around the term "African-American", it makes the conversation feel inauthentic to me. I'm not African-American. I'm not from Africa. I'm an American and I am a black man.
Mikex87 amen brother! As part of a minority, it bothers me when people say ‘African American’. I feel like it is another way to hide racism and I am not even black.
@t w you are an idiot . Really you think only people of color have children out of wed lock ? You do know white woman use so tial services more often than any outher race ? You are showing your ignorance .
@t w You are the one Dave is talking about when he says you need to widen your group! I'm black, 27, with a bachelor and I don't have kids, neither do I want to have any out of wedlock. And I served my country in the military!
Hey y'all. I just reported @tw's reply to Sharonda's comment. Please, also, dislike that comment (not the original comment by Sharonda, of course. The reply by tw) then click on the 3 dots to the right and report it. There is an option to check that says something like "hateful speech." Because I did that, the comment isn't showing up for me anymore so maybe it will disappear for everyone.
I could tell that Dave was somewhat uncomfortable with having this tough conversation, but I appreciate that he was still willing to be vulnerable and do it anyway.
Yeah, I thought that was interesting to see how uncomfortable he was too, considering he's always in his element otherwise. I also admire his willingness to have a discussion. But I will say.. this video was a lil cringey. And as much as I admire Dave Ramsey, it seems like he's not quite getting it still.
@Morgan Bishop It was a little cringy. And Dave doesn't completely get it, but it looks like he's trying to. He didn't have to take an hour on his platform, but he did and this conversation was a big risk. Learning is process where you have to willing to take risks and make mistakes. It would have been interesting if they would have had Chris Hogan's perspective as an older Black man. I also wish Anthony would have gotten to talk more. He was definitely using restraint regarding what he discussed.
Dave Ramsey is far from being racist, I remember me and my wife went to one of his conventions. His staff was very sweet and for me being an African-American I'm glad they are speaking about this matter because it's time for change.
Adrian I'm glad Dave is also talking about this. Honestly we need more people to go to the polls and realize that we the people need to vote people who will hold people in power accountable. There's way too much abuse by various people on power, police and politicians, without any consequences
ers5111 change the justice system! what the heck have you been even watching? Black people are killed by police and racists and people want justice for that.
ers5111 Man BS every problem black people have started with the white folks... the punks started years ago when they were scared of black people. All they have are guns.. PERIODT...
Speaking as a minority, I didn’t expect Dave to chime in. He’s a financial guy and I only seek financial advice from him. You often hear ppl say “I don’t see color” when talking about race and most of the time, I don’t believe those ppl. Dave on the other hand is the one person I believe when says he hired his team because of their talent. All you have to do is watch one of his shows. He’s strictly a numbers guy and offers concrete advice based on the numbers ppl provide him. To close this up, Dave has done more for me than any politician or corporation that put out statements of “support”. He’s help me get on a path of financial independence from these fake corporations that are here today offering support and gone tomorrow when it’s time to fleece you.
Anthony O’Neal chose to respond NOT react out of raw emotion. THAT makes him a remarkable man and I’m even more impressed with him now than I was before.
I'm a Latina, and I've watched Dave's videos for financial help for about a year now. The advice has been good to me. I will admit I felt nervous about what would be said in this video; worried that my virtual financial mentor would let me down, but I'm relieved that this was such a great conversation about racism!!! So glad Dave did this. Thank you
@@colintainter4856 I felt the same way. I never thought he was racist but I had a fear in the pit of my stomach that he would say something that would cause me to lose respect for him. It happens all the time...when people show you who they are, believe them. He just demonstrated that he is the guy I thought he was and I feel better now.
Me too! I kno he's a quality dude but he can be too blunt which could get him in trouble 🤷🏾♀️ You can tell (ok... strongly guess) the race of callers by voice or name... Dave & his co-hosts treat them all the same from what I've seen & heard
@@musicmen88 in this day and age. People will call you racist even if you take a step back and live your own life. My bad, I'm asian and impartial. I gotta go to work. 🤷♂️
Those are the turkey butts he was talking about. Conversations like this don't change those types of people. It changes the ignorant by informing them.
John Smith yes, people are aware of what they’re doing! And majority of those people are of many different races. When racism goes beyond ignorance and you’re aware of it, it’s called hate.
@John Smith yes, like church bombings, and the cops taking a man who just killed a church full of innocent people to get a hamburger before they take him to jail.
I am a black woman who has been watching Dave Ramsey for years. I love his show. FPL is changing my life for the better. I’m here for this open discussion. 🙏🏾❤️
Dave Ramsey, you're already helping us minorities level up. You're contributing by helping us get out of the mentality of debt is good and giving us budgeting skills. I've seen many minorities purchasing their first home, fixing their credit, paying off debt because of the seed you implanted. I'm hispanic and unfortunately because of their circumstances, my parents didn't have this knowledge. Highest level of education in my household was Middle school. So, without even realizing it, you're changing our future to have our kids out of title I schools. Thank you👍🏽👍🏽🙋🏽♀️ To people saying "all lives matter," right now is disregarding the issue. Imagine saying that to a black mom in her childs funeral due to police brutality. Her giving her speech "Black Lives matter," then you taking the mic away and saying, "No, all lives matter."
All lives matter. I man got killed and it shouldn't me made about race. He's a black American but it doesn't matter that he's black. We don't know that this was racially motivated and that doesn't matter. No one should get killed like that black or white.
All lives matter my friend. That can never change. It doesn't matter what color we are. When a person is killed in Chicago we should emphasize the need to yell, ALL LIVES MATTER. I'm Hispanic too and that's irrelevant.
Black lives matter because of the fact that George was killed because his life didn’t matter to the police who murdered him because he was black. Plain and simple. Why is this hard to understand to some people?
Media and politicians do an outstanding job of separating Americans by class, color, religion, age, etc. Americans need to unite. United We Stand, Divided We Fall!
@@natejones8539 right up until we stopped teaching kids that addressing people respectfully as ma'am and sir and Mrs. and Mr. was not optional. Not because of the titles but because it demonstrated that respect of the other person was not optional.
I was not going to comment, but as a young African American male, I appreciate you having the conversation Dave. I don't speak for the black community as a whole, but personally, you taking this step means a lot to me. Thank you! 🙏
I appreciate it a lot, as a black male from Britain. I think it's fitting too because many organisations are holding a "Black out Tuesday", so how fitting this was published on a Tuesday. Serious discussions and actions need to be taken. This is the 'apartheid' of our generation and there are many of us who won't stand for it.
@@garretteckhardt6665 No. It's the 200+ years of oppression since this country was founded in 1776. If it wasn't for all of the civil rights activists for the past 200 years, you would still have slaves picking cotton, not being allowed to read books or obtain a fair education, housing discrimination, schooling discrimination, restuarant discrimination, public transportation discrimination, job discrimination etc. Oppression for over 200+ years doesn't dissapear overnight kiddo. Many white folks still own farm land that their great great grandfathers owned and are millionaires due to all of that inheritance which colored folks were not given the opportunity to own. I'll agree with you on one thing. There are more opportunities today to become wealthy than ever before in the history of humanity and people from the inner cities need to change their negative culture and outlook on life and make the best of their situations instead of always playing victim. In reality, growing out of the inner cities to become wealthy and successful is a lot tougher than having mommy and daddy pay for everything throughout your entire life. That's why universities are always filled with rich white kids and rich foreigners, very few minorities because they don't have 50 thousand dollars and the high schools they went to in the inner cities didn't build them up to succeed. I went to both a private school and an inner city public school and let me tell you, there is a huge difference in culture and opportunity. If I stayed at the bad public school, I would probably be dealing drugs right now.
Wow, wow, Dave! I really didn’t know what to expect here and I appreciate your wisdom and candidness. I remember not being invited to a birthday party because the girl said “my parents wouldn’t want me to invite you because they don’t like black people”. I can only pray that that little girl got to experience more than that small city we grew up in.
Dave my name is Carl Woods, I'm a 54 year old black man who has been listening to you for 8 years. I for one know your not a racist, in fact you have done a great job of including black folk in your leadership of your team. You get much love and respect from me and my family, don't worry about what people say, do you.
@t w I noticed that all your comments have racial overtones. If you don't like hearing complaining about racial issues, then stop existing. When people tell me they don't see race, I tell them that's part of the problem because I do. We aren't all equal here and you should be sensitive to that...not, I don't see your race because that's only true if you are blind.
Dave is easily the most conservative speaker I follow, but since it’s financial advice I never really cared. I’m honestly so impressed he took the time to have this conversation. Even the old white men are upset. Things need to change.
@J Wil Yes I agree, I am black but what he said was uncalled for. I have met racist white people and many wonderful wonderful White people. My first job that helped me so much was given to me by a white lady. So when people talk like all white people are racist that's wrong also. Are there lots of racist white people, sure, are there good kind white people, sure also.
@@lifeonleo1074 Collectivism vs Individualism. Individualists know that people are individuals and that you can never judge somebody until talking to them. Collectivists tend to put so much value on race that they judge all people with collective guilt. The far left does this with blaming all white people and the alt-right does this by defining america as some white ethnostate. Truly terrible times when people in the middle are tired of it all.
Sad part is people can be denounced by others from within their race for believing a certain way. It's sad that you can't be who you want to be in this world, without being subject to discrimination.
Laughed after seeing numerous of people getting upset over Dave’s recent Instagram post. Many stating “wow I thought Dave Ramsey was a true Christian” “Not you Dave!” “Why are you giving them a voice” “ Why are you standing by them” COULD NOT believe it. Dave Ramsey is a true leader and if you don’t see the problems in the world, you are part of the problem. Much respect for Mr. Ramsey.
Truth be told, alot of these people probably believe black lives matter. They just see the rioting and looting in the news media and view Dave's message as an endorsement of those specific people. PS I agree with you. Just my thoughts as I have processed this.
@@jeremythompson5151 I really think you have a point. I wish people could understand that rioting is the action of oppressed and angry people. I also noticed that the news media kept showing looting videos that were almost 5 days old and that just keeps people afraid.
"Dave, you're really good at diversity", "No, don't insult them, I hired the best people for the job." This is obviously the way it should be. Forced diversity is insulting to all of us.

Thank you for having this conversation, guys! I'm a traveler, a combat veteran, a medical professional and a loving wife. I read voraciously, enjoy gardens, museums and all the anime that I can consume. To my husband, I'm still the girl with a loud laugh and deep dimples who likes to sing when she cooks. To a racist, nothing that I've stated matters...I'm just another dark-skinned body to be eliminated. My humanity disappears when I become the sum total of my skin tone. I've been targeted for abuse just because I dared to do something as simple as go grocery shopping or hold hands with my hubby (he's a big blue-eyed ginger), and it's exhausting to always be on guard for the viciously ignorant. I appreciate the talk; it's a step in the right direction, and allows the chance of opening some minds and hearts. ♡
This was probably your best video yet Dave 👏🏼 Grown men having a conversation without name calling is such a breath of fresh air. Along with identifying personal biases, I have limited the amount of media I consume. They feed off the hate for ratings and it’s really sad they have taken a horrible situation and exploited it. May everyone in the comments be safe ❤️ Each and everyone deserves to be treated with dignity and respect.
Dave’s really a true old school alpha male. Doesn’t let society force him into being a follower for something he doesn’t believe in. Something most celebrities lack these days.
If I buy 100 packets of crayons, and 80% of the time the purple ones tips break, when only 20% of the tips break on the other colours, I am probably less likely to use purple in future, or when I use it, I draw more careful than with the others, it's not racist because I treat the future purple crayons differently, I'm using historical stats to make my decisions, just like investing.
Discussion like this is what we need. I loved the bit where Anthony described his initial perspective of the word redneck, Dave seemed legitimately surprised at the perspective and I think if people had these discussions more often we'd go along way. And shoutout to Rachel for having such a good relationship with Anthony where he felt comfortable having that conversation.
Dont dare try to say dave is racist that is completely out of line, great man and true man of God , im black and this man changed myself and my family lives off of his teachings alone. Thanks Dave for everything you do! Oh and people dont have to speak on issues if they’re not ready to, yall cant control folks
I know that he leans on the right politically, but from what I have seen, he is honestly one of the most respectful, and open minded guys I have ever seen.
@Neanderloid Swain The problem is you still have people denying the fact that George Floyd was murdered. There are people that believe the police officer was justified in his treatment of George Floyd, and it is those people that are the problem. Those are the same people that will deny the fact that systemic racism and white privilege exists.
@@DH-uw3us I wouldn't say he was murdered. He took an overdose of drugs so the police officer(s) wouldn't find them on him, that, plus the stress of the situation and everything going on it resulted in his death. Should more have been done to make sure he was safe? Sure. But at every point no matter what we or the police do someone is going to be mad. I've told people well why don't we just put a place to hook someone's handcuffs to the back of a squad car so that someone being detained can't run away. Then people go 'oh that's cruel you're gonna tie someone up' or 'well what if they freak out and it breaks their wrist because they did something' and it just leads to issues. I'd say just handcuff his hands behind his back and then handcuff his ankles so he can't run away and then people will say well what if he rolled out into traffic and got hit by a car then it'd be the cops fault. So what exactly is there for anyone to do? The guy did commit a crime whether you agree it was serious or not doesn't matter if we want laws we have to enforce them all. Is the answer to just not arrest people because of their skin color to avoid what might happen? Isn't that racism in itself? What exactly do you suggest should have been done?
@@dedalliance1 He was killed by police. Once the handcuffs are on him and he’s on the floor he’s been detained. Stop trying to justify this because you can’t.
kmike1976 Exactly, at the end of the day; your actions and the way you treat others in the community speaks louder than a cheap tweet. I would rather a man/woman taking necessary steps for REAL CHANGE.
Dave, I have allowed myself, in anger, to use words and speak things that I’m not proud of. Thank you for talking about this. You have changed my financial future and I admire you. I come from a broken home as my father was a bad person and my mother was poor and depressed. I haven’t had much guidance overall but look up to you and Rachel. I don’t think your racist and trust your guidance. Please have patience and grace when dealing with people who say bad things about you as we are hurt about being treated badly based solely on the color or our skin and lashing out in anger. Today I’m going to stop spreading hate and start educating myself on how to deal with racism in a more productive way. Thank you again for address this issue ✌🏽💕😊
Thank you for taking the time to talk about racism. Enough is enough. I’ll never understand completely but I will never stand down against racism. I will use my voice to stop the hate. Change starts with you. 🖤
As a black woman, I loved this interview - thanks so much Anthony and Dave. Totally agree with 100% of everything said here but can't verbalize it in certain circles especially being black. Thank you for a practical conversation with solid ideas on how people can overcome ignorance, nuanced thinking and narrow-mindedness
I am an African American female who has a son. So of course I am angry and upset about what is currently going on. But when I didn't hear Dave speak about it I thought nothing of it. He is a Financial advisor and this is a Financial show when I want to hear about what's going on socially I watch the news.
I have to agree. Everyone is speaking out against this because in my opinion there is a current vacuum of leadership. People who normally don’t or wouldn’t speak up feel or think they need to because certain people in leadership positions will not or are just saying and doing the wrong thing. Just my two cents.
I think some people want to hear where you stand not just on the death of George, Breanna, and Ahmed but on the overall issue of systemic racism. They want to hear you acknowledge that you personally recognize there is a very real and very large problem and that even if you don't know how to resolve it, you know that a part of moving forward is opening hearts, actively listening, acknowledge, and then do a self scan. I respect the dialog that occurred here.
What is "systemic racism" though? To me it seems like a convenient slogan to defer responsibility for ALL those involved, black or white Cop or civilian. Racism dose exist certainly but are you really improving anything by insisting that the whole system is corrupt and needs to be removed/torn down and rebuilt? It's this EXACT line of reasoning that causes people to excuse their own animalistic behavior and to turn to evil and destruction. Surely there are more local solutions like repairing the nuclear family and trust in local law enforcement. That will NEVER happen if everyone is pointing their fingers at everyone else and hiding behind vague ideological slogans.
I think the reason he didn’t mention anything about it because he doesn’t consider his channel to focus on main stream worldwide problems unless it has to deal with finances. I’m glad this discussion happened tho. Obviously he has an opinion about it and I think worldwide we can agree that something has to change but I don’t think he HAS to respond to this on his financial channel. People can have opinions and discussions and not put them on social media.
@@CalvinJGreen I like the fact that you asked. I hope you find people to actually show you what they mean. You can't be told this, you need to be shown to understand it.
I love everything about this video. The honest, open, and genuine conversations between human beings who happen to look different, but come together and realize they aren't all that different. I wish there were more media with these "breaking bread" conversations.
Isn’t it interesting that Anthony’s advice you tell your kids is the same he feels police officers need to tell each other. Speak up when you see the injustice. We like to think that kids have to be taught, but the truth is adults need the exact same lessons taught over and over again about being nice, thinking about others, and showing grace when things don’t go your way.
Even though I don’t think everyone should have to comment on every social issue, I appreciate this conversation and the way you guys handled it. It really means alot to me that you guys are shedding light on the issue. I found out about Dave from the Total Money Makeover a few years ago and it helped me pay off all of my debts (still working on student loans). I have been watching clips on RUclips ever since. As someone who is not very religious I must say I’m touched and inspired by the way you use Christianity as a moral compass. I hope to be able to call in one day and express these thoughts personally. Thanks for everything that you guys do
One of the most powerful lessons to begin creating real change in black communities by setting them up for prosperity for future generations! Teaching people how to handle money and create generational wealth!
Dave needs to realize that he does have an impact. My sons life will be different from the hard work I learned from my father and money skills I acquired from Dave.
Finances matter. Having a strong financial and economic base helps strengthen black communities which in turn helps them influence politics, legislation, policing media and education to change the black narrative and to have those aspects project the black community favorably. Unity is strength
So many black people are wealthy. Not all are poor. The issue first is to have others (like the police) to stop killing blacks, stopping for no reason, arresting on trumped up charges, giving jail sentences that do not fit the crime (ex: in Mississippi, they gave a lady life in prison for stealing a pack of cigarettes) but will not arrest or convict policemen who kill for no reason.
“When the house is on fire, do you argue the color of the skin of the man who brings the water?” -J Krishnamurti, Beyond violence “To have compassion means to have passion for all things, not just between two people, but for all human beings, for all things of the earth, the animals, the trees, everything the earth contains.” -J Krishnamurti (ascribed to no religion or belief system and avoided labels of master or guru etc) Most of humanity has been conditioned to seek security in beliefs and systems only creating more division/ fragmentation w/others and in our minds. We’re all humans sharing this tiny planet in a vast universe. I fear for ones born today. I hope we as a race/species figure this all out. My heart goes out to all victims and loved ones of violence, brutality and exploitation. I respect those who may not agree.
I was starting to believe that Dave was going to keep himself quiet. I'm glad he didn't hide behind the fact that he's a financial dude and spoke about it
Some 37 precious minutes of my time well spent, being good humans, and well educated like my Dave's crew is priceless . Thank you guys! Be kind and Love unconditionally! God bless you !!❤

@@joeymessinger2992 lol, so true! He's an opinionated guy which is why I like him and he for sure interrupts everyone. If you pay attention, on every single call he gets, he will eventually mute them and just speak. One time he even hung up on someone too early.
Yes and Amen to this discussion, to the kindness and love these guys are expressing toward each other, and that they are clearly showing empathy and consideration to the issues at hand. Lastly, Yes and Amen that they aren't taking blame for things they haven't personally done, but are teaching their kids and loved ones to be kind, honest, and loving. They all have valid viewpoints that are filtered through their love of Christ. Thanks John, Dave, and Anthony.
Sooo good! Thank you for supporting Anthony like this! Seeing how Dave reacted to that one cop that was a butthead... imagine the rage that has built up over the years from being treated like that REGULARLY when being pulled over?! Enough is enough! Bad cops make all cops look bad!
Thank you for having this conversation. I think one of the biggest issues is that too many people struggle to just sit down and talk and listen to each other.
The next step in the evolution of racial equality is to not shut down discussions that may be uncomfortable by claiming them to be motivated by racism. There is racial inequality in this country, but can't just focus on the unequal outcomes, but the reasons for them. These can be uncomfortable conversations because some of those reasons have nothing to do with racism, but with values and priorities like discipline, self-improvement, developing good life habits, self-awareness, prioritizing education, etc, etc. These principles span across race, gender and class. Yes, there is racial inequality and yes, racism does exist, but if you and everyone else can focus on just those things you can control to improve yourself and immediate community, you will find life success and the world will become a little less racist bit by bit.
Hi JoseonOne, I hope you’re well. It is definitely an uncomfortable conversation but one which is necessary like you said. I am an accomplished women of African decent and know many black people who are also high achieving. However this still has not mitigated the racial profiling and systemic oppression. Black excellence is something that has been encouraged within our community, having to go the extra mile in several aspects of life simply to be recognised and chosen over our non-black counterparts who may not be more competent. In addition, access to education varies, and in the UK for example, an Oxford graduate with a 1st is less likely to “get the job” and if they do, earn significantly less than a candidate who graduates with a lower ranking score. I’m aware that good grades does not necessarily equate to the fitness for a role, I’m simply highlighting that even when the things we can control are within our control, we are still in a larger system that if full of conscious and unconscious biases which stunt our progress. These are not excuses, but a reality that we are aware of. All the accomplishments in the world will not stop a racially-biased system from taking a reductionist approach - reducing us to the colour of our skin. Many other communities face biases, but it’s essential to always frame this within a historical context and socio-economical barriers.
@@yazminaqua2383 Well put. May I add: The only thing that will end the bigotry is a greater effort on behalf of everyone to show empathy and compassion. Empathy requires extending care and support to someone whose circumstances you don't understand or relate to. Compassion requires making the choice to suffer with another person and to care about their burden as if it were your own. Bigotry requires our reducing the complex humanity of another being to a handful of suppositions. Sadly, because this requires little effort, some find it easier to go down this path. We can have conversations about values, education, et al. But until everyone participating in the conversation abandons the easy path for one of compassion and empathy the conversation will be fruitless. We can't earn or learn our way out of a system that prejudges us; only dismantle it with compassion and empathy.
@Brendon Earl - Lol.. it's just Marxist propaganda bs. These people are to stupid to realize that nobody gets to choose where or how or what colour or rich or poor... Nobody gets to make that choice before being born, Did you get to choose your parents before you where born? so to be angry at somebody over those things is just plain ignorance.
I've always been a regular listener and fan. You're a great man Dave, and I have so much more respect for you for talking about this passionate issue. You didn't have to do this and most prominent people on the right get abuse for standing up for anything others don't agree with. Mad respect you you all. I wish I was optimistic but witnessing the militarized response, and the images and videos of police still being heavy handed or just being thuggishly brutal with peaceful protesters (not looters) sadly leaves me with no hope of any change whatsoever. God bless you and your team, and continue to do the great work you do.
I appreciate how Anthony mentioned that all lives matter but right now we are bringing attention to black lives. I am starting to recognize that things need to change and my hope is we can come together as children of God and as Americans to help our African American communities and other minority communities. Thanks Dave for the conversation
You’re wrong Dave, you do have an answer to part of the problem. And the fact that you give out financial advice to anyone smart enough to listen, regardless of who they are, is a big part of the answer. Racism has extended deep into the financial world, the real estate world. By teaching people how to improve and take control of their financial life, you are giving people power. Thank you.
Never heard/seen Dave stuttering so much in a conversation it’s clear he didn’t want to have this conversation but it shows how much love and respect he has for his African American coworker or employee
Why is the left so silent when it comes to abortion in black America? Don’t those baby lives matter? Fake media never says a word about it. Every life matters no matter the color of skin.
Who's oppressed? Do you have one fact or detail that could prove that the death of this man was race related? It's people like you that keep racial tensions high in America. Instead of accepting responsibility for your own actions you're always looking for a finger to point.
My only recommendation is stop watching and listening to the MSM, Celebrities, and Online personalities for info on politics and other social issues because there all full of BS pushing a narrative.
@@GS.9093_Mart , because since we don't have a real President to lead us through these tough times, we look towards common people whom we trust. I listen to uncle Dave for money advise, and obviously he also has been staying out of the fray until this video.
I’ve had the opportunity to listen to your financial advice and listened to others make negative comments on the advice you give your listeners, yet you have proven yourself each time with what you teach even when you make a mistake. Now, this; wow... I’m at a point in life where I’m tired of false statements and bad advisers on what to do... THANK YOU FOR BEING A TRUTHFUL MAN, A TRUE BELIEVER OF FAITH IN GOD.. THANK YOU FOR REACHING OUT ... THANK YOU FOR BEING DAVE RAMSEY!! Highly appreciated.
Three guys speaking from the heart and we were allowed to listen. Thank you for being transparent. It takes discussion to learn and heal. As an black women I'm learning from this myself from my brothers the deep healing that's needed. We'll solve this when everyone is able to listen and WILLING to change. CHANGE is scary and hard but you have to try. Debt has no color and we listen to this show all together. Love yall..
Thanks for doing this Dave💖💖💖. As a well travelled African immigrant I've seen and experienced racism & tribalism from all races in all the countries I've lived in. So thanks again for doing this💖💖💖
This is the enemy trying to divide the Body of Christ. To have us turn against one another, please pray our strength to stay united in Christ and remember we are one Body.
Dont forget people approved slavery, because of interpretations of the bible. Religion doesn't matter in this situation. If anything its dangerous if many people believe in one book.
@@melika3519 it's not about religion it's about Christ. As a Christian God is the main focus in our lives. All this hate and evilness is a reflection of man's heart. We are sinning against a righteous God who hates sin. Unless Christ becomes our Lord and Savior there will be much darkness and evil in this world.
@@tieman3790 And terrorist groups have interpreted killing people of different believes based on one book... why do people only want to focus on christianity and tear it down because of SOME peoples actions. How is that any different from saying all black people are ____ because one black person ____. Its both wrong. What your saying is dangerous and is a threat to many peoples' first amendment right. You may have had a bad experience with a couple of people who claim to be followers of God and that's unfortunate but please don't place those people as the true representation of what Christianity is all about. Christianity is all about loving God and loving people. So if anything, this situation calls for Christ to come into the picture. And I pray for this nation every day. Have a great day!
This is a great conversation. We need more of our community leaders to hear people out. I personally am Blaxican(1/2 black-1/2 Mexican) and have dealt with racism and colorism my whole life and now dealing with it with my kids. And I agree, we as parents need to do better. My family is mixed with just about everything. It’s been hard for my kids to understand what’s going on.
it all starts at home; home education. the way you are raised at home and what your parents/guardians instill in you will more often than not determine the type of person youll become in life. this is how racism will start ending. there is good and bad people in all races, ethnicity and nationalities. no reason to generalize and point out a certain group of people.
Mr. Oneal, thank you for stating that you ask about what you heard before reacting to it. More people should do that and much tension would be avoided. That is part of the communication process I learned taking Communications 11 and 12 at West Virginia University!
Dave, I think people that experience "racism" will add to your definition of racism, the ability to deny someone X. For example real estate redlining, employment, education, fair treatment under the law etc. Great show, again
Anthony looks so uncomfortable and hurting during this conversation. I love this team and I love Anthony, but I wonder if he wasn't saying something that he wanted to? Granted, this is also a hard and uncomfortable topic anyways. Prayers and peace for anyone needing it right now. 🙏🏻❤️🖤🤍🤎🌈🕊
I think it's because when he speaks he has pressure on him especially being the only black guy on the panel. Even though he doesn't speak for the whole community, there are many that will be upset if they feel he squandered the opportunity to explain himself well on a huge platform. Also living in America, race is a difficult topic for people of different races to discuss.
I felt the same way. He looks so uncomfortable and like he’s holding back. He’s in front of his boss who is a white guy and having to speak on something so sensitive.
I think this was the time for Anthony to LISTEN. He needs to hear how Dave, etc. feels. We don’t need to hear from Anthony because this is personal for him. We should know how he feels. He’s speechless....Now that he has listened, he has insight on how they feel about this uncomfortable subject. Going forward, Dave and his guest are educated, Anthony has educated Dave how it felt to hear him use the work “Red Neck” and now the conversation has opened up a bigger issue. This is what the beginning of change looks like I believe.
I appreciate the conversation. I hesitated in the first few minutes each time you declared things like "I don't see color" " there's no racism here," and other defensive comments. There's always color and always (unintentional) bias. I hope you continue sharing your stage with leading influencers- maybe more in the black community (not on your payroll). I love all your personalities, but there's a definite filter when you know your boss doesn't 100% understand or agree with you. 😉 Keep using the platform! As I keep listening... Really appreciate John saying "the world needs less of my opinion. I need to listen."
What most don't realize is that racism is a form of tribalism. Think about it: Our ancestors learned to survive by avoiding that which was unfamiliar and stuck to their own tribes... unfortunately, that translates to modern day racism among other prejudices. It is more ingrained in our DNA than we realize because at one point it helped our species survive.
Yes I love your comment! Conversations with black leaders not on his payroll would’ve been amazing Anthony was def holding back. I LOVE the way he addressed Dave’s “all lives matter” remark 🙏🏾💕
Dave got it half right. Racism is the fear of not just the unknown, but also of the other. Racism is oppression of the less enfranchised based on the color of their skin. Sounds like the original constitution. I wonder, how many Americans realize our very basic governing document was written specifically to be racist? Which Native people’s were present at drafting, ratification, and signing? Which African Americans were present at drafting, ratification, and signing? How can we treat anything that came from that as legitimate when these “free” populations were given zero representation at our founding? This is actually a bigger problem at the local/state level than federal. Dave obviously doesn’t and can’t have all the answers, but this is a BIG systematic issue that will be painful for all Americans in order to correct it.
Dave Ramsey is helping me get my finances in order and I'm all the way in Kenya, Africa. I've never once focused on his color, just the profound wisdom that comes from his mind. We need to open our minds.
I think that is the exact problem! When people say: If they hurt my family, if they hate my race, etc We need to protect HUMANS period. We know what's wrong; we know what's right. Let's protect each other!! From groups of people that wants to have humans divided so they can conquer.

Racism is sin. Period.
We need peace to make things better. Through the peace of Jesus Christ we can get through this.
You will never “completely understand” because you are white. You can care deeply. You can inquire about what it is like. You can be told what it’s like from a million black people but you will only ever understand what they’re experiencing hypothetically. It will never be your life, your history, your family, your fear, or your sorrow. Please try not to claim you “completely understand.”
Hey Dave, Maybe it's because you are using the term "rioting" rather than rally or rebellion. The trouble-makers who are looting are different (and separate) from the 10s of thousands who are showing unity and rallying peacfully. The violence is being perpetrated by some of the police. That's why we are here. Simply change your language and you'll be perceived more trustworthy. Just a thought.
@21:53 This part really hit. Thanks for sharing this content.
Who on earth, thought Ramsey was racist? The amount of people he helps is awe-inspiring. I applaud him for covering this radio show topic when he really didn't have to. Keep doing God's work Mr. Ramsey.
@Sweetness 94...that is the real issue...particularly on college campuses. Just being "White" puts us on the defensive...and THEY, including Wh.ite Left.ist's, are insulting. Jordan Peterson confronts them, and he is highly intellectual...and it is costly, emotionally to be honest, against the liberal media, large and small! Thanks.
It’s because he’s an old white guy with a southern accent. It’s a shame, but that’s life. As a people, most of us just group people we don’t know into groups based on how they look, talk, or act and proceed with their day. It’s a shame, and I hope we as a country can move on from racism and in turn, I hope the world follows.
@@darrellborland119 Dude exactly. I am on university and it is beyond the pale. "Racist" is the new "Heresy"
If you ask what solutions should we implement, and then disagree with what the prevailing narrative is, you are a white supremacist.
The media has labelled so many intellectuals and thinkers as white supremacists nowadays it is absolutely shameful. Sam Harris, Jordan Peterson, Ayan-Hirsi-Ali, and on and on.
I have never seen such intolerance until I went to a progressive university. I have had students say that if you question antifa, you are a fascist.
@@darrellborland119 Jordan peterson's standing up to the mob was amazing. Not intimidated and stood for freedom of thought and speech. He has studied the rise of murderous ideologies for years and the current social justice climate on universities is exactly what led to Soviet Union and the holodomor. (The ukrainian holocaust)
Apparently you have to make sure to validate your anti racism every minute of the day like you have nothing else more important going on.
23 years ago I emerged out a divorce broke and in debt. I had no financial direction but knew I wanted one. I just so happen to turn in the radio and there was Dave Ramsey talking about his story, debt, saving and prospering. Listening to him for the first time changed my life. I went on the pay off 23,000 dollars in debt, buy 5 houses and travel the world. Yes. I’m a black man.
Congrats man! You are probably a shining light of success peace and love to your family as well
Awesome man!
That is an amazing story!!!
✊🏿✊🏿
Awesome! Love this. Congratulations Sir.
"Dave, you're really good at diversity" "No, don't insult them, I hired the best people for the job." Outstanding Dave, well said.
Thats like when someone said David Webb is only successful because of his white privilege on the radio, he said "I'm black" and said he was extremely offended by someone saying he didn't earn his success or couldn't have because of his skin colour
RUclips Veterinarian diversity is good. There are plenty of well qualified minorities in all fields it you wouldn’t know it because they don’t necessarily get the same opportunities. It’s absurd to think there is only one or two that are great
@RUclips Veterinarian Diversity is great, but hiring someone because of their skin color instead of their qualifications is just as racist as not hiring someone because of their skin color instead of their qualifications. Dave Ramsey hired the most qualified people, and it just so happened that a couple of them were black.
He's amazing, and he's still helping us with the same passion.💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗

Dave, as a black man I want to thank you, John, and Anthony for having this discussion. I know you said this is not the realm in which you work as a financial-advisor, but I think because of your willingness to discuss racism, you probably helped validate concerns your listeners in minority groups have. People who frankly don't hear this enough from their white counterparts. Additionally, while I don't believe you are someone who contributes to ignorance, this might have been the first time a white listener heard racism be discussed outside of the headlines in a thought provoking way. I believe that talking about racism even in just one's on life/social circles helps inoculate people from becoming infected by it. This was truly needed and again thank you all.
This is why a lotta people exaggerate with the R word because silence feels like complicity at this point. It's the biggest problem in America and has been for centuries because many aren't comfortable discussing it.
@@Meng776 the whole thing is it goes both ways all ways any race of people can be racist lol the thing is they are making is sound like black people cant be rascist because of history they would never show you real numbers or statistics and any type of stat leading people to the real truth is silenced as well you make up 70 % of the us population lol the best way to get over racism is to be good christians and love your neighbor keep your trust in your father in heavan this world is designed by the liars to be something its not and was never meant to be
I am a racist
Dave said "black community". Thank you for saying that. When people tip-toe around the term "African-American", it makes the conversation feel inauthentic to me. I'm not African-American. I'm not from Africa. I'm an American and I am a black man.
Exactly, it's like Native American. I've been told by them that they prefer to be called Indians, but to the media and everyone else that's racist.
Mikex87 amen brother! As part of a minority, it bothers me when people say ‘African American’. I feel like it is another way to hide racism and I am not even black.
You ARE from Africa!!!
@@firebug1892 You are from Poland!!!
you’re African American, or Jamaican; that’s an acceptable term to use when categorizing races...
I watch silently every day. I'm a black woman and have learned so much from Dave Ramsey. I'm here for this conversation.
@t w you are an idiot . Really you think only people of color have children out of wed lock ? You do know white woman use so tial services more often than any outher race ? You are showing your ignorance .
@t w You are the one Dave is talking about when he says you need to widen your group! I'm black, 27, with a bachelor and I don't have kids, neither do I want to have any out of wedlock. And I served my country in the military!
Same here!
Hey y'all. I just reported @tw's reply to Sharonda's comment. Please, also, dislike that comment (not the original comment by Sharonda, of course. The reply by tw) then click on the 3 dots to the right and report it. There is an option to check that says something like "hateful speech." Because I did that, the comment isn't showing up for me anymore so maybe it will disappear for everyone.
@t w you didn't put any percentages on it either or list your sources. Good bait 👏
I could tell that Dave was somewhat uncomfortable with having this tough conversation, but I appreciate that he was still willing to be vulnerable and do it anyway.
Because it’s uncomfortable to fathom this is still happening in 2020. I find it sad and infuriating.
Amen.
Yeah, I thought that was interesting to see how uncomfortable he was too, considering he's always in his element otherwise. I also admire his willingness to have a discussion.
But I will say.. this video was a lil cringey. And as much as I admire Dave Ramsey, it seems like he's not quite getting it still.
@Morgan Bishop It was a little cringy. And Dave doesn't completely get it, but it looks like he's trying to. He didn't have to take an hour on his platform, but he did and this conversation was a big risk. Learning is process where you have to willing to take risks and make mistakes. It would have been interesting if they would have had Chris Hogan's perspective as an older Black man. I also wish Anthony would have gotten to talk more. He was definitely using restraint regarding what he discussed.
Morgan Bishop Just curious, but what specifically do you think Dave is not getting?
Dave Ramsey is far from being racist, I remember me and my wife went to one of his conventions. His staff was very sweet and for me being an African-American I'm glad they are speaking about this matter because it's time for change.
Adrian I'm glad Dave is also talking about this. Honestly we need more people to go to the polls and realize that we the people need to vote people who will hold people in power accountable. There's way too much abuse by various people on power, police and politicians, without any consequences
ers5111 So you are saying that black and white people have an even playing field?
ers5111 change the justice system! what the heck have you been even watching? Black people are killed by police and racists and people want justice for that.
ers5111 Man BS every problem black people have started with the white folks... the punks started years ago when they were scared of black people. All they have are guns.. PERIODT...
@@JohnBeezy3 Yes
Speaking as a minority, I didn’t expect Dave to chime in. He’s a financial guy and I only seek financial advice from him. You often hear ppl say “I don’t see color” when talking about race and most of the time, I don’t believe those ppl. Dave on the other hand is the one person I believe when says he hired his team because of their talent. All you have to do is watch one of his shows. He’s strictly a numbers guy and offers concrete advice based on the numbers ppl provide him. To close this up, Dave has done more for me than any politician or corporation that put out statements of “support”. He’s help me get on a path of financial independence from these fake corporations that are here today offering support and gone tomorrow when it’s time to fleece you.
Thank you for all for setting an example and making space for this very important subject. God bless!!
prp134 Very well said
It’s like people before they express an opinion have to preface it with I have black friends. Everything after that is BS.
👍🏼
I see colors, but colors don't change human nature.
Anthony O’Neal chose to respond NOT react out of raw emotion. THAT makes him a remarkable man and I’m even more impressed with him now than I was before.
Well he has things to lose. Those without much to lose are more reckless
The first thing he said was that’s not really his fight though...
Lol he it because he has more to lose than if a white guy did it
Toni A nicely said👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👍🏾
Yup
I'm a Latina, and I've watched Dave's videos for financial help for about a year now. The advice has been good to me. I will admit I felt nervous about what would be said in this video; worried that my virtual financial mentor would let me down, but I'm relieved that this was such a great conversation about racism!!! So glad Dave did this. Thank you
Some people would take issue with it but those are the extreme types.
What baby step are you on?
Yes I feel the same!
@@colintainter4856 I felt the same way. I never thought he was racist but I had a fear in the pit of my stomach that he would say something that would cause me to lose respect for him. It happens all the time...when people show you who they are, believe them. He just demonstrated that he is the guy I thought he was and I feel better now.
Me too! I kno he's a quality dude but he can be too blunt which could get him in trouble 🤷🏾♀️ You can tell (ok... strongly guess) the race of callers by voice or name... Dave & his co-hosts treat them all the same from what I've seen & heard

He doesn’t have to be a racist he can just don’t care enough, totally two different things!!

Same. Never got that from Dave
Racism isn't ignorance all the time. People are well aware at what their doing.
Those are the turkey butts he was talking about. Conversations like this don't change those types of people. It changes the ignorant by informing them.
AMEN. Racism is more from a place of fear and jealousy.
John Smith yes, people are aware of what they’re doing! And majority of those people are of many different races. When racism goes beyond ignorance and you’re aware of it, it’s called hate.
@John Smith yes, like church bombings, and the cops taking a man who just killed a church full of innocent people to get a hamburger before they take him to jail.

I am a black woman who has been watching Dave Ramsey for years. I love his show. FPL is changing my life for the better. I’m here for this open discussion. 🙏🏾❤️
Dave Ramsey, you're already helping us minorities level up. You're contributing by helping us get out of the mentality of debt is good and giving us budgeting skills. I've seen many minorities purchasing their first home, fixing their credit, paying off debt because of the seed you implanted. I'm hispanic and unfortunately because of their circumstances, my parents didn't have this knowledge. Highest level of education in my household was Middle school. So, without even realizing it, you're changing our future to have our kids out of title I schools. Thank you👍🏽👍🏽🙋🏽♀️
To people saying "all lives matter," right now is disregarding the issue. Imagine saying that to a black mom in her childs funeral due to police brutality. Her giving her speech "Black Lives matter," then you taking the mic away and saying, "No, all lives matter."
Eloquently spoken D B. 💯🙏🏾
@@derikamiller4911 couldn't agree more!
All lives matter. I man got killed and it shouldn't me made about race. He's a black American but it doesn't matter that he's black. We don't know that this was racially motivated and that doesn't matter. No one should get killed like that black or white.
All lives matter my friend. That can never change. It doesn't matter what color we are. When a person is killed in Chicago we should emphasize the need to yell, ALL LIVES MATTER. I'm Hispanic too and that's irrelevant.
Black lives matter because of the fact that George was killed because his life didn’t matter to the police who murdered him because he was black. Plain and simple. Why is this hard to understand to some people?
Media and politicians do an outstanding job of separating Americans by class, color, religion, age, etc. Americans need to unite. United We Stand, Divided We Fall!
They really are, and Americans are going right along with what these leaders want them to believe. Thank God for people like Dave
When have we ever been united? Which time period?
@@natejones8539 right up until we stopped teaching kids that addressing people respectfully as ma'am and sir and Mrs. and Mr. was not optional. Not because of the titles but because it demonstrated that respect of the other person was not optional.

@@garretteckhardt6665
No. It's the 200+ years of oppression since this country was founded in 1776.
If it wasn't for all of the civil rights activists for the past 200 years, you would still have slaves picking cotton, not being allowed to read books or obtain a fair education, housing discrimination, schooling discrimination, restuarant discrimination, public transportation discrimination, job discrimination etc. Oppression for over 200+ years doesn't dissapear overnight kiddo.
Many white folks still own farm land that their great great grandfathers owned and are millionaires due to all of that inheritance which colored folks were not given the opportunity to own.
I'll agree with you on one thing. There are more opportunities today to become wealthy than ever before in the history of humanity and people from the inner cities need to change their negative culture and outlook on life and make the best of their situations instead of always playing victim.
In reality, growing out of the inner cities to become wealthy and successful is a lot tougher than having mommy and daddy pay for everything throughout your entire life. That's why universities are always filled with rich white kids and rich foreigners, very few minorities because they don't have 50 thousand dollars and the high schools they went to in the inner cities didn't build them up to succeed.
I went to both a private school and an inner city public school and let me tell you, there is a huge difference in culture and opportunity. If I stayed at the bad public school, I would probably be dealing drugs right now.
Wow, wow, Dave! I really didn’t know what to expect here and I appreciate your wisdom and candidness.
I remember not being invited to a birthday party because the girl said “my parents wouldn’t want me to invite you because they don’t like black people”. I can only pray that that little girl got to experience more than that small city we grew up in.
The same happened to me.

Thats so sad :( thank you for sharing!
Really, how stupid is that?
That's appalling.
Dave my name is Carl Woods, I'm a 54 year old black man who has been listening to you for 8 years. I for one know your not a racist, in fact you have done a great job of including black folk in your leadership of your team. You get much love and respect from me and my family, don't worry about what people say, do you.
Bruh relax all he did was give a concrete example that Dave is not racist.
@t w I noticed that all your comments have racial overtones. If you don't like hearing complaining about racial issues, then stop existing. When people tell me they don't see race, I tell them that's part of the problem because I do. We aren't all equal here and you should be sensitive to that...not, I don't see your race because that's only true if you are blind.
Dave is easily the most conservative speaker I follow, but since it’s financial advice I never really cared. I’m honestly so impressed he took the time to have this conversation. Even the old white men are upset. Things need to change.
@J Wil Yes I agree, I am black but what he said was uncalled for. I have met racist white people and many wonderful wonderful White people. My first job that helped me so much was given to me by a white lady. So when people talk like all white people are racist that's wrong also. Are there lots of racist white people, sure, are there good kind white people, sure also.
Wow, you ought to have that mirror conversation with yourself pal

@@lifeonleo1074 Collectivism vs Individualism. Individualists know that people are individuals and that you can never judge somebody until talking to them.

Just gained another reason to Love the Dave Ramsey Show, damn near cried when he and his team addressed these issues.
Thank you for having this conversation, guys! I'm a traveler, a combat veteran, a medical professional and a loving wife. I read voraciously, enjoy gardens, museums and all the anime that I can consume. To my husband, I'm still the girl with a loud laugh and deep dimples who likes to sing when she cooks. To a racist, nothing that I've stated matters...I'm just another dark-skinned body to be eliminated. My humanity disappears when I become the sum total of my skin tone. I've been targeted for abuse just because I dared to do something as simple as go grocery shopping or hold hands with my hubby (he's a big blue-eyed ginger), and it's exhausting to always be on guard for the viciously ignorant. I appreciate the talk; it's a step in the right direction, and allows the chance of opening some minds and hearts. ♡
@Amanda Thank you, ladybug! ♡
Thank you fellow american patriot!
You sound awesome. Thanks for adding your voice.
Wow! Thank you for putting it like that! Learned something new!
That's one of the purest things I've ever read. Thank you 💜
This was probably your best video yet Dave 👏🏼 Grown men having a conversation without name calling is such a breath of fresh air. Along with identifying personal biases, I have limited the amount of media I consume. They feed off the hate for ratings and it’s really sad they have taken a horrible situation and exploited it. May everyone in the comments be safe ❤️ Each and everyone deserves to be treated with dignity and respect.
Respect is earned.
So true about the media. Wants to divide us. This video was the best and real talk. Take good care of yourself
"If ignorance is the problem, then knowledge is the solution" That is good!!!👍👏👏👏
Education is the solution. Knowledge can be distorted by propaganda and opinions
Dave’s really a true old school alpha male. Doesn’t let society force him into being a follower for something he doesn’t believe in. Something most celebrities lack these days.
So a racist then.
Reads headline ... braces for impact😬
Edit: Pleasantly surprised😉😂
I’m glad I saw this comment. Lol I was bracing myself too. Lol
I was looking for a comment that would have me listen with ease.
It speaks multitudes that many of us felt that way. It’s the “please don’t tell me Dave doesn’t love us” fear. But we know that’s not true!!! Yay!!!!
Literally!
He did a good job 👏🏼
I believe Dave Ramsey has people's best interest at heart. Has great insights and overviews!
If the media were composed of you guys, everyone would be in so much better shape. God bless you all and thank you!
Unfortunately, the media tries to create hate.
Media is one of the driving forces of hate...they love this.
This is planned
If I buy 100 packets of crayons, and 80% of the time the purple ones tips break, when only 20% of the tips break on the other colours, I am probably less likely to use purple in future, or when I use it, I draw more careful than with the others, it's not racist because I treat the future purple crayons differently, I'm using historical stats to make my decisions, just like investing.
Discussion like this is what we need. I loved the bit where Anthony described his initial perspective of the word redneck, Dave seemed legitimately surprised at the perspective and I think if people had these discussions more often we'd go along way. And shoutout to Rachel for having such a good relationship with Anthony where he felt comfortable having that conversation.
I think Dave is a lot of things of his religious, right-wing, “hillbilly” (his words), stereotype, but racist isn’t one of them.
Please keep in mind classical liberals are now considered "right wing" by progressives.
Patricia Ikeda it’s true. The regressives make Bill Maher look “right wing.”
If you’re a real Christian you shouldn’t be racist at all. Jesus was middle eastern and Adam and Eve were extremely dark.
Dont dare try to say dave is racist that is completely out of line, great man and true man of God , im black and this man changed myself and my family lives off of his teachings alone. Thanks Dave for everything you do! Oh and people dont have to speak on issues if they’re not ready to, yall cant control folks

I know that he leans on the right politically, but from what I have seen, he is honestly one of the most respectful, and open minded guys I have ever seen.
Ivan Villalobos i think he just go with what makes sense, i think he hates the idea of being labeled as right or left. He’s different and unbiased.
People listen to respond not to understand. Thank you for this conversation.

@@yveherbert7494 cant compare modern traveling to old traveling. One timeframe was for conquest one timeframe is for development.
If I had anyone had doubts about who’s side David Ramsey is on, he used the words “murdered” and “killed”.
@Neanderloid Swain The problem is you still have people denying the fact that George Floyd was murdered. There are people that believe the police officer was justified in his treatment of George Floyd, and it is those people that are the problem. Those are the same people that will deny the fact that systemic racism and white privilege exists.
A big part of the problem is this 'sides' mentality. We don't need to be any more divided than we already are.
@@DH-uw3us I wouldn't say he was murdered. He took an overdose of drugs so the police officer(s) wouldn't find them on him, that, plus the stress of the situation and everything going on it resulted in his death. Should more have been done to make sure he was safe? Sure. But at every point no matter what we or the police do someone is going to be mad. I've told people well why don't we just put a place to hook someone's handcuffs to the back of a squad car so that someone being detained can't run away. Then people go 'oh that's cruel you're gonna tie someone up' or 'well what if they freak out and it breaks their wrist because they did something' and it just leads to issues. I'd say just handcuff his hands behind his back and then handcuff his ankles so he can't run away and then people will say well what if he rolled out into traffic and got hit by a car then it'd be the cops fault. So what exactly is there for anyone to do? The guy did commit a crime whether you agree it was serious or not doesn't matter if we want laws we have to enforce them all. Is the answer to just not arrest people because of their skin color to avoid what might happen? Isn't that racism in itself? What exactly do you suggest should have been done?
@@dedalliance1 He was killed by police. Once the handcuffs are on him and he’s on the floor he’s been detained. Stop trying to justify this because you can’t.
@@AnonURnot yea he was killed but I haven’t seen enough proof for systemic racism.
This was very calm to watch, we need more conversations and more listening.
It's probably a smart thing to wait for some time before speaking on a topic that has gotten very touchy and very toxic. So I commend Anthony for that
Yes, I definitely agree!
Agreed my brother!
Or------not speak it all and be a good citizen and lead by example
kmike1976 Exactly, at the end of the day; your actions and the way you treat others in the community speaks louder than a cheap tweet. I would rather a man/woman taking necessary steps for REAL CHANGE.
Not his fight (Bum). Hundreds of thousands died and was beaten for his survival today.
Dave, I have allowed myself, in anger, to use words and speak things that I’m not proud of. Thank you for talking about this. You have changed my financial future and I admire you. I come from a broken home as my father was a bad person and my mother was poor and depressed. I haven’t had much guidance overall but look up to you and Rachel. I don’t think your racist and trust your guidance. Please have patience and grace when dealing with people who say bad things about you as we are hurt about being treated badly based solely on the color or our skin and lashing out in anger. Today I’m going to stop spreading hate and start educating myself on how to deal with racism in a more productive way. Thank you again for address this issue ✌🏽💕😊
I'm so proud of you.
Speaking out like that deserves respect dear..hopefully u will be successful in every way possible🙏
Well said and inspiring! Thank you for sharing!! Blessings to you!
Thank you for taking the time to talk about racism. Enough is enough. I’ll never understand completely but I will never stand down against racism. I will use my voice to stop the hate. Change starts with you. 🖤
As a black woman, I loved this interview - thanks so much Anthony and Dave. Totally agree with 100% of everything said here but can't verbalize it in certain circles especially being black. Thank you for a practical conversation with solid ideas on how people can overcome ignorance, nuanced thinking and narrow-mindedness
I am an African American female who has a son. So of course I am angry and upset about what is currently going on. But when I didn't hear Dave speak about it I thought nothing of it. He is a Financial advisor and this is a Financial show when I want to hear about what's going on socially I watch the news.
Sometimes, things just need to be said. This is one of those times. And I’m a die-hard Ramsey fan.
@@kashfortheking I'm becoming a die-hard Ramsey fan myself.
I have to agree. Everyone is speaking out against this because in my opinion there is a current vacuum of leadership. People who normally don’t or wouldn’t speak up feel or think they need to because certain people in leadership positions will not or are just saying and doing the wrong thing. Just my two cents.
I get upset and angry as a white man when cops kill more of us than any other race
I think some people want to hear where you stand not just on the death of George, Breanna, and Ahmed but on the overall issue of systemic racism. They want to hear you acknowledge that you personally recognize there is a very real and very large problem and that even if you don't know how to resolve it, you know that a part of moving forward is opening hearts, actively listening, acknowledge, and then do a self scan. I respect the dialog that occurred here.
What is "systemic racism" though?
To me it seems like a convenient slogan to defer responsibility for ALL those involved, black or white Cop or civilian.
Racism dose exist certainly but are you really improving anything by insisting that the whole system is corrupt and needs to be removed/torn down and rebuilt?
It's this EXACT line of reasoning that causes people to excuse their own animalistic behavior and to turn to evil and destruction.
Surely there are more local solutions like repairing the nuclear family and trust in local law enforcement.
That will NEVER happen if everyone is pointing their fingers at everyone else and hiding behind vague ideological slogans.
I think the reason he didn’t mention anything about it because he doesn’t consider his channel to focus on main stream worldwide problems unless it has to deal with finances. I’m glad this discussion happened tho. Obviously he has an opinion about it and I think worldwide we can agree that something has to change but I don’t think he HAS to respond to this on his financial channel. People can have opinions and discussions and not put them on social media.
@@CalvinJGreen I like the fact that you asked. I hope you find people to actually show you what they mean. You can't be told this, you need to be shown to understand it.

It’s not enough to be non racist, we need to be anti-racism. We need to speak out against it, and demand better!

Better start in the black communities FIRST! They are the BIGGEST racist by far!
@@Cooter4 Look at you, out here making accusations. Sounds legit

Do what you want. I'm busy living my life and have no obligation to "speak out" against a goddamned thing.
I love everything about this video. The honest, open, and genuine conversations between human beings who happen to look different, but come together and realize they aren't all that different. I wish there were more media with these "breaking bread" conversations.
Isn’t it interesting that Anthony’s advice you tell your kids is the same he feels police officers need to tell each other. Speak up when you see the injustice. We like to think that kids have to be taught, but the truth is adults need the exact same lessons taught over and over again about being nice, thinking about others, and showing grace when things don’t go your way.
Even though I don’t think everyone should have to comment on every social issue, I appreciate this conversation and the way you guys handled it. It really means alot to me that you guys are shedding light on the issue. I found out about Dave from the Total Money Makeover a few years ago and it helped me pay off all of my debts (still working on student loans). I have been watching clips on RUclips ever since. As someone who is not very religious I must say I’m touched and inspired by the way you use Christianity as a moral compass. I hope to be able to call in one day and express these thoughts personally. Thanks for everything that you guys do
One of the most powerful lessons to begin creating real change in black communities by setting them up for prosperity for future generations! Teaching people how to handle money and create generational wealth!
This could be said for all communities, of a poor background.
Dave needs to realize that he does have an impact. My sons life will be different from the hard work I learned from my father and money skills I acquired from Dave.
Finances matter. Having a strong financial and economic base helps strengthen black communities which in turn helps them influence politics, legislation, policing media and education to change the black narrative and to have those aspects project the black community favorably. Unity is strength
@@XFizzlepop-Berrytwist yes this is true!
So many black people are wealthy. Not all are poor. The issue first is to have others (like the police) to stop killing blacks, stopping for no reason, arresting on trumped up charges, giving jail sentences that do not fit the crime (ex: in Mississippi, they gave a lady life in prison for stealing a pack of cigarettes) but will not arrest or convict policemen who kill for no reason.

My heart goes out to all victims and loved ones of violence, brutality and exploitation. I respect those who may not agree.
Thankyou for quoting this.
I was starting to believe that Dave was going to keep himself quiet. I'm glad he didn't hide behind the fact that he's a financial dude and spoke about it
Some 37 precious minutes of my time well spent, being good humans, and well educated like my Dave's crew is priceless . Thank you guys!

Phenomenal conversation guys. But Anthony was holding back on some of his thoughts on the subject. I would love to listen your conversation more.
Probably waiting to discuss more on his channel.
It did seem he got cut off a few times ... But he brought out some great points.
He's a cool dude for sure.
Dave's tuff guy talk is funny, was a bit over the top a couple times here.
Great conversation overall
Dave has an interrupting problem, with EVERYONE!
@@joeymessinger2992 lol, so true! He's an opinionated guy which is why I like him and he for sure interrupts everyone. If you pay attention, on every single call he gets, he will eventually mute them and just speak. One time he even hung up on someone too early.
Kalai Donner haha I love when he pushes the mute button on people!
Yes and Amen to this discussion, to the kindness and love these guys are expressing toward each other, and that they are clearly showing empathy and consideration to the issues at hand. Lastly, Yes and Amen that they aren't taking blame for things they haven't personally done, but are teaching their kids and loved ones to be kind, honest, and loving. They all have valid viewpoints that are filtered through their love of Christ.
Thanks John, Dave, and Anthony.
It’s a small percentage of police... but a large percentage of the black community that’s effected
Sooo good! Thank you for supporting Anthony like this! Seeing how Dave reacted to that one cop that was a butthead... imagine the rage that has built up over the years from being treated like that REGULARLY when being pulled over?! Enough is enough! Bad cops make all cops look bad!
Thank you for having this conversation. I think one of the biggest issues is that too many people struggle to just sit down and talk and listen to each other.
Like John said in a EntreLeadership podcast about anxiety “sometimes people just need you to listen.”
The next step in the evolution of racial equality is to not shut down discussions that may be uncomfortable by claiming them to be motivated by racism. There is racial inequality in this country, but can't just focus on the unequal outcomes, but the reasons for them. These can be uncomfortable conversations because some of those reasons have nothing to do with racism, but with values and priorities like discipline, self-improvement, developing good life habits, self-awareness, prioritizing education, etc, etc. These principles span across race, gender and class. Yes, there is racial inequality and yes, racism does exist, but if you and everyone else can focus on just those things you can control to improve yourself and immediate community, you will find life success and the world will become a little less racist bit by bit.
Hi JoseonOne, I hope you’re well. It is definitely an uncomfortable conversation but one which is necessary like you said. I am an accomplished women of African decent and know many black people who are also high achieving. However this still has not mitigated the racial profiling and systemic oppression. Black excellence is something that has been encouraged within our community, having to go the extra mile in several aspects of life simply to be recognised and chosen over our non-black counterparts who may not be more competent. In addition, access to education varies, and in the UK for example, an Oxford graduate with a 1st is less likely to “get the job” and if they do, earn significantly less than a candidate who graduates with a lower ranking score. I’m aware that good grades does not necessarily equate to the fitness for a role, I’m simply highlighting that even when the things we can control are within our control, we are still in a larger system that if full of conscious and unconscious biases which stunt our progress. These are not excuses, but a reality that we are aware of. All the accomplishments in the world will not stop a racially-biased system from taking a reductionist approach - reducing us to the colour of our skin. Many other communities face biases, but it’s essential to always frame this within a historical context and socio-economical barriers.
@@yazminaqua2383 Well put. May I add: The only thing that will end the bigotry is a greater effort on behalf of everyone to show empathy and compassion. Empathy requires extending care and support to someone whose circumstances you don't understand or relate to. Compassion requires making the choice to suffer with another person and to care about their burden as if it were your own.
Bigotry requires our reducing the complex humanity of another being to a handful of suppositions. Sadly, because this requires little effort, some find it easier to go down this path. We can have conversations about values, education, et al. But until everyone participating in the conversation abandons the easy path for one of compassion and empathy the conversation will be fruitless. We can't earn or learn our way out of a system that prejudges us; only dismantle it with compassion and empathy.
@@yazminaqua2383 Do you have your own business?
@@Alexis-wh2de - Can you give an example of a policy from this prejudice system?
@Brendon Earl - Lol.. it's just Marxist propaganda bs. These people are to stupid to realize that nobody gets to choose where or how or what colour or rich or poor... Nobody gets to make that choice before being born, Did you get to choose your parents before you where born? so to be angry at somebody over those things is just plain ignorance.
Dave, You are the most loving hillbilly I’ve known. Thank you!!
As a black person I hated how after Floyd died people were forcing others to say something about it, that never helps.
Yea true - it makes people do it to save face rather than cos they actually want to
I've always been a regular listener and fan. You're a great man Dave, and I have so much more respect for you for talking about this passionate issue. You didn't have to do this and most prominent people on the right get abuse for standing up for anything others don't agree with. Mad respect you you all. I wish I was optimistic but witnessing the militarized response, and the images and videos of police still being heavy handed or just being thuggishly brutal with peaceful protesters (not looters) sadly leaves me with no hope of any change whatsoever. God bless you and your team, and continue to do the great work you do.
I appreciate how Anthony mentioned that all lives matter but right now we are bringing attention to black lives. I am starting to recognize that things need to change and my hope is we can come together as children of God and as Americans to help our African American communities and other minority communities.
Thanks Dave for the conversation
What an excellent, thoughtful conversation. Anthony is awesome, I’m glad he’s raised his incredibly intelligent voice on this topic.
You’re wrong Dave, you do have an answer to part of the problem. And the fact that you give out financial advice to anyone smart enough to listen, regardless of who they are, is a big part of the answer. Racism has extended deep into the financial world, the real estate world. By teaching people how to improve and take control of their financial life, you are giving people power. Thank you.
What Dave Ramsey said reminds me of this quote by Mark Twain: travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness
probably not good to quote a racist lol
Ok travel to jersey city at night
Never heard/seen Dave stuttering so much in a conversation it’s clear he didn’t want to have this conversation but it shows how much love and respect he has for his African American coworker or employee
I appreciate this Dave. We need more southern white voices speaking against racism and police brutality
kush lungz Yes ! And midwesterners too!
One death is one too many. The oppressor will never feel the pain of the oppressed.
Stupid generic groundless argument.
You should travel much more.
Why is the left so silent when it comes to abortion in black America? Don’t those baby lives matter? Fake media never says a word about it. Every life matters no matter the color of skin.
Who's oppressed? Do you have one fact or detail that could prove that the death of this man was race related? It's people like you that keep racial tensions high in America. Instead of accepting responsibility for your own actions you're always looking for a finger to point.
I love the transparency in this talk! So refreshing. Open conversations feels so good
My only recommendation is stop watching and listening to the MSM, Celebrities, and Online personalities for info on politics and other social issues because there all full of BS pushing a narrative.
Oh but listen to fox news 😃 there not bad
Thanks for having this convo Dave ✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾
"That's not really my fight." Lol Anthony you're not making it sound any better bro 🤦♂️🤣
Oh, but it is...
Exactly. This is all of our fight.
I feel like he knew what he was saying, but that word choice made me cringe 😬 a little. He spoke well for himself and I am proud of him for that.
I think it's better because he is speaking for himself.
Yes it is
I’ve honestly been waiting for Dave to say something!
Why?
Yeah I just needed to know from Dave in his own words. It doesn't take being black to be upset about a senseless murder of a human being!
By doing so, he is treading on dangerous ground.
@@GS.9093_Mart , because since we don't have a real President to lead us through these tough times, we look towards common people whom we trust. I listen to uncle Dave for money advise, and obviously he also has been staying out of the fray until this video.
I’m glad he did. It’s not an easy topic and he will catch hate either way but his heart is in the right place.
I’ve had the opportunity to listen to your financial advice and listened to others make negative comments on the advice you give your listeners, yet you have proven yourself each time with what you teach even when you make a mistake. Now, this; wow... I’m at a point in life where I’m tired of false statements and bad advisers on what to do... THANK YOU FOR BEING A TRUTHFUL MAN, A TRUE BELIEVER OF FAITH IN GOD.. THANK YOU FOR REACHING OUT ... THANK YOU FOR BEING DAVE RAMSEY!! Highly appreciated.
Three guys speaking from the heart and we were allowed to listen. Thank you for being transparent. It takes discussion to learn and heal. As an black women I'm learning from this myself from my brothers the deep healing that's needed.
We'll solve this when everyone is able to listen and WILLING to change.
CHANGE is scary and hard but you have to try.
Debt has no color and we listen to this show all together.

This is the enemy trying to divide the Body of Christ. To have us turn against one another, please pray our strength to stay united in Christ and remember we are one Body.

Why do you have to bring religion into it.
Dont forget people approved slavery, because of interpretations of the bible. Religion doesn't matter in this situation. If anything its dangerous if many people believe in one book.
@@melika3519 it's not about religion it's about Christ. As a Christian God is the main focus in our lives. All this hate and evilness is a reflection of man's heart. We are sinning against a righteous God who hates sin. Unless Christ becomes our Lord and Savior there will be much darkness and evil in this world.
@@tieman3790
And terrorist groups have interpreted killing people of different believes based on one book... why do people only want to focus on christianity and tear it down because of SOME peoples actions. How is that any different from saying all black people are ____ because one black person ____. Its both wrong. What your saying is dangerous and is a threat to many peoples' first amendment right. You may have had a bad experience with a couple of people who claim to be followers of God and that's unfortunate but please don't place those people as the true representation of what Christianity is all about. Christianity is all about loving God and loving people. So if anything, this situation calls for Christ to come into the picture. And I pray for this nation every day. Have a great day!
This is one of the best conversations on racial issues that I've ever seen. Three great guys here that all seem to be good Christians too. Well done.
I love Dave Ramsey!!! I know that this man is not a racist and I’m a black man! Keep it up uncle Dave! 💪🏽
Why would it matter that you're a black man?
This is a great conversation. We need more of our community leaders to hear people out. I personally am Blaxican(1/2 black-1/2 Mexican) and have dealt with racism and colorism my whole life and now dealing with it with my kids. And I agree, we as parents need to do better. My family is mixed with just about everything. It’s been hard for my kids to understand what’s going on.
it all starts at home; home education. the way you are raised at home and what your parents/guardians instill in you will more often than not determine the type of person youll become in life.
this is how racism will start ending.
there is good and bad people in all races, ethnicity and nationalities.
no reason to generalize and point out a certain group of people.
A lie can go halfway around the world before the truth gets its shoes on! Context matters but the media often neglect it.
Thank you. The media has been so loud about this narrative. It's just odd that all of this is happening right before the 2020 election.
The autopsy came back. The truth has been out
The media doesn't neglect the context, they intentionally leave it out when it doesn't suit their narrative.
@Benny Pickerel what does that have to do with anything? Then he would be charged for manslaughter. That is a black body he had no care of life for.
I’m a conservative and we definitely need to do our part to be understanding and forgiving to all people no matter who they are.
Why would you be forgiving? Did they do something wrong? Who are you talking about?
@@danix3638 I was thinking the same thing, who is he forgiving? Lol
I'm a conservative and was already doing that. I don't see color I see just people. Treat them how you would want to be treated.

Mr. Oneal, thank you for stating that you ask about what you heard before reacting to it. More people should do that and much tension would be avoided. That is part of the communication process I learned taking Communications 11 and 12 at West Virginia University!
"My hillybilly would come out, id be mad" love this❤
Dave, I think people that experience "racism" will add to your definition of racism, the ability to deny someone X. For example real estate redlining, employment, education, fair treatment under the law etc.
Great show, again
Anthony looks so uncomfortable and hurting during this conversation. I love this team and I love Anthony, but I wonder if he wasn't saying something that he wanted to? Granted, this is also a hard and uncomfortable topic anyways. Prayers and peace for anyone needing it right now. 🙏🏻❤️🖤🤍🤎🌈🕊
I think it's because when he speaks he has pressure on him especially being the only black guy on the panel. Even though he doesn't speak for the whole community, there are many that will be upset if they feel he squandered the opportunity to explain himself well on a huge platform. Also living in America, race is a difficult topic for people of different races to discuss.
You’re wrong.
I felt the same way. He looks so uncomfortable and like he’s holding back. He’s in front of his boss who is a white guy and having to speak on something so sensitive.
He was definitely holding back. He's usually very vocal
I think this was the time for Anthony to LISTEN. He needs to hear how Dave, etc. feels. We don’t need to hear from Anthony because this is personal for him. We should know how he feels. He’s speechless....Now that he has listened, he has insight on how they feel about this uncomfortable subject. Going forward, Dave and his guest are educated, Anthony has educated Dave how it felt to hear him use the work “Red Neck” and now the conversation has opened up a bigger issue. This is what the beginning of change looks like I believe.
I appreciate the conversation. I hesitated in the first few minutes each time you declared things like "I don't see color" " there's no racism here," and other defensive comments. There's always color and always (unintentional) bias. I hope you continue sharing your stage with leading influencers- maybe more in the black community (not on your payroll). I love all your personalities, but there's a definite filter when you know your boss doesn't 100% understand or agree with you. 😉
Keep using the platform!
As I keep listening... Really appreciate John saying "the world needs less of my opinion. I need to listen."
What most don't realize is that racism is a form of tribalism. Think about it: Our ancestors learned to survive by avoiding that which was unfamiliar and stuck to their own tribes... unfortunately, that translates to modern day racism among other prejudices. It is more ingrained in our DNA than we realize because at one point it helped our species survive.
Yes I love your comment! Conversations with black leaders not on his payroll would’ve been amazing Anthony was def holding back. I LOVE the way he addressed Dave’s “all lives matter” remark 🙏🏾💕
Dave got it half right. Racism is the fear of not just the unknown, but also of the other. Racism is oppression of the less enfranchised based on the color of their skin. Sounds like the original constitution.
I wonder, how many Americans realize our very basic governing document was written specifically to be racist? Which Native people’s were present at drafting, ratification, and signing? Which African Americans were present at drafting, ratification, and signing? How can we treat anything that came from that as legitimate when these “free” populations were given zero representation at our founding? This is actually a bigger problem at the local/state level than federal. Dave obviously doesn’t and can’t have all the answers, but this is a BIG systematic issue that will be painful for all Americans in order to correct it.
I'm so glad that Anthony is fighting the good fight for us. We just want to be treated equally. It starts in the home.
Dave Ramsey is helping me get my finances in order and I'm all the way in Kenya, Africa. I've never once focused on his color, just the profound wisdom that comes from his mind. We need to open our minds.
As soon as I heard "nephews Theo and Uriah" my ears perked up. You're Yvette's brother! I love your family.
Right I noticed that too!
Which family?
That RUclips family with the How Married Are You podcast right?
@@pixie0714 Yup!
Oh wow! Didn't even realize that! From Beleaf in Fatherhood
THANK YOU FOR STANDING WITH US ✊🏿✊🏾🖤
I think that is the exact problem!
When people say: If they hurt my family, if they hate my race, etc
We need to protect HUMANS period.
We know what's wrong; we know what's right.
Let's protect each other!! From groups of people that wants to have humans divided so they can conquer.
Exactly!! Well said!!
I came in expecting a rant, and instead got a thoughtful conversation that got me thinking. Thanks guys!
A completely cucked conversation, that's not honest at all. Imagine thinking in 2020 race is just skin deep.
