The Health And Wealth Of Black Communities | NBC News NOW
Reparations without a check for every black person would be incomplete and unacceptable.
Giving money only to organizations and agencies whom supposedly will help improve education and such isn't suitable and really only funds the top.
Individual payments should be included.
CAVIAR 2020 we passing out white privilege checks too?
Honor the treaties too.
As a black man you must know your hertiage. Research it and get to know your families roots. Remember slavery has been around along time ever since African chiefs sold their people to the salvery market. You must get educated and stop depending on other people to give you. God created you in his image. Stop blaming white people and turn to God remember your strength is in your faith when you trust God. Mentor Melvin Lightford
You're so ignorant of history in this country or you are just plain stupid
@@bangbola that has got to be the most uneducated and ignorant reply i have ever seen and i doubt you even can comprehend the irony
Don't blame racism on God, it's not her fault. It's an invention of White people who have free-will.
You are right Mr. Lightford, people should always know their heritage. But they should also know history so bad history doesn't repeat itself. It is a darn shame that so many of these young people don't know history.
@@MPR2 lol wow that has got to be one of the most ignorant statements i have ever read so wights are the inventors and sol practitioners of racism? i do hope your being sarcastic cuz it sounds it but now a days you never know
REPARATIONS
Take reparations and fix black communitys.
Trust me American chambers don't have enough money to pay for all wrongs they have done to us black people..
I would hate black folks if they get a hand out. I've been poor my whole life to. Every race struggles its not our generations problem to give people back pay for not being strong enough of a race to not get taken advantage of
@@hustlekamu so
@DoughnationCreative why do you think that?
Reparations!!! Lonnnng
OVERDUE!!!!!
This is ridiculous..People in the third world country would love to just
have 10% of the freedom that they have in America, yet, to the
American, it's not enough for them and they want more..People in the
third world country deal with poverty on a regular basic and had to
endure the hardship for the rest of their lives...Here you have people
who live in a land of opportunity where the government take care of you,
and yet They're still complaining..This is an example of when you
spoiled them, they will never appreciate what they have.
@Kevin Robinson you sound like a foolish spoiled child....playing victims card much guys?
@Kevin Robinson its never coming!
@JohnJacobJingleHeimer Schmidt me and you grew up with the same privileges and I'm white and more poor then you. I bet! I would riot.... just like many others would
players whelm but you know what is, don’t you😉 the end
@@rf2238 just another richard! Go eat a taco and pet a cat 🐈 what is in your ----
How can you talk about children growing up in poverty with illnesses with black people not having proper medical treatment and the white people growing up not suffering and there's only one thing that separates that causes the difference and that is wealth America owes a debt that has not been paid
A simuler event occurred in Wilmington NC in 1898
Steve H.
Mr. Lee your reporting is on
Target like a stinger missile.
You & Mr. Craig Melvin are the best voices for change in America. God Bless both of you guys. Please be safe take care of love ones
BLACK LIVES MATTER
I am so Proud of all the younger people.
Reparations! Reparations! Reparations! It's the only answers! Stop talking around it!!!!!
The people or tax payers of this great country owe you nothing. Work for your money like everybody else.
I love you, black people!
When talk turn to reparations, my question is: why aren't Native Americans at the front of that line? Seriously, by any measure (including current economic and social status) Native Americans were treat worse and lost Moore than any groups in North America, and were practically extinguished. Please someone explain too me why they are at the back of the lint not the front.
No representation and leaders made bad deals with govt
They have their reparations! It's why they get to go to college for free and build casinos on their land making millions! And they have land and sovereignty!
@@MPR2 "Go to college for free". Depends on the reservation, state and the college, not all natives get free college. About the casinos... Doesn't look like they really benefit from it when the official poverty rate on reservations is 28.4 percent, compared with 12.7 nationally. About 36 percent of families with children are below the poverty line on reservations, compared with 9.2 percent of families nationally. Try Google sometime.
Jaguar Edgar sounds like a conversation with your leaders of the civilized tribes. Most are white genetically and are passing the wealth to their family. It’s allocation not lack of.
First of all their fore father's made treaty agreements and some have expired and waiting on other treaty agreements to expire. That's the real issue.
Wise words wise woman....
Ever stop to think it’s a poor problem, not a skin color problem? Nevermind it’s easier to divide us by pigment
Ever stop to think if the was on the other foot.
Race
Boog so... you’re just going to ignore all that was said in the video about deliberate intent to malign black people whether middle class or poor. This has nothing to do about ones behavior. This has to do with Caucasian insecurities as it relates to black people and the idea that black people are not deserving of the same equalities. Stop deflecting and let’s just be honest.
@Fiasco Could you list your sources. Thanks.
Fiasco your weak justification is laughable. If this is all you have to show that there was/is equality it is extremely weak at best. Since you clearly have no legitimate argument. I respectfully decline any further communication with you as I’d rather engage with someone of a higher intellect.
I’m happy for black people and I like the feeling of happy black people because even though we went through riots I feel a special calmness and it feels really great. But, I think this could have happened with simple communications and riots just create the gap right back.
No excuse but it's a shame I wasn't taught about Juneteenth in school or even heard about this date until recently.... I was told about Black Wall Street through an employee some years ago which I also wasn't taught about
People in hollywood should take out a couple of minutes in their television interview to say something a black male or female accomplished that the world don't know about in honor to them.
IF YOU ARE RICH AND DON'T HAVE GOD YOU ARE "POOR".
IF YOU ARE POOR AND YOU HAVE GOD IN YOUR HEART YOU ARE "RICH"!
Im kind off an atheist, idk, i dont know if i should really believe that there is a god or not
Happy happy new day
Sound quality is spotty. A shame considering how timely and important these interviews are at
This time.
Welfare is equivalent for reparations.
There are mostly white people on welfare
Thank you man #preach
@@roddanlives2650 have you been to California?
Rod Dan Lives exactly
Rod Dan Lives - I was expecting much of an intelligent response here either. When people talk about numbers, they talk ratios relative to population. If I mention it, the my response would be removed by RUclips thought police.
Schools need more money its not that complicated Anna
Thank you! Mic'20 ADOS South
Obama never spoke of Juneteeth...
I agree with you DrJoseph
Just check your facts as my uncles had the GI bill for Education and buying homes............
Go help Chicago
Native American Indians have treaty agreements that have expired and some still have to expire before full assistance and help can be given to them. People have to remember those treaty agreements be for hundreds of years and some perpetual years which means those are the type that do not end. It really depends on the wording of those treaty agreements long ago and how they are interpreted now in the legal system. People forget it costs a lot of money and you need a lot of signatures to get those cases into courts of law for review and reintepretations. It is also a very lengthy process ...and they need a lot of money to scoot around the sometimes deliberate delays and also look how often Washington DC changes hands in Elections. In many cases they need Legislative and Congressional support which means for very lengthy cases they need ELECTED POLITICIANS on their side to stay in office.
What a joke all lives mater
FINALLY A SISTER SPEAKING ON OUR STRUGGLE AND CULTURE ..etc....WITHOUT A EUROPEAN WEAVE!!!!!!
There's NO WAY to KNOW it your vote counts 1 way or the other.
We need wealth to build a nation State in Africa.........."Africa for Africans at home and Abroad"., Marcus Gravey..........
People have choices, This country has opportunities for all. As a matter of fact, blacks in many cases must be hired before they can hire a Hispanic person, or Asian, whites are at the bottom of the list. Remember affirmative action, not to mention all the "special" programs only for blacks. Even Trump made a program years back to help blacks into the corporate world. We have black colleges, black chamber of commerce, black Miss America , substitute the word black for white, and all of you will flip your lid and scream racism. Quit with the victim card. We have people of every color including whites with very hard lives . Enough of this pitting one race against another, that is RACIST ! Why is it about the color of ones skin?
Septembers Whisper what the fk happened to you? How’d you get so fking stupid?
@@rf2238 Prove me stupid.
Reparations would be an investment in individuals who are descents of slaves
And what would you spend it on exactly?
I am a boomer from Tulsa and I knew about Black Wall Street. I learned it in school, I think.
My greatgrand-parents told me about that paricular atrocity among others against thriving Black towns.
We will be FREE when our BLACK GATEKEEPERS TELL THE WHOLE TRUTH... AND NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH ...ALSO WHY DO THE CHILDREN HAVE TO LEARN OR BE TAUGHT ABOUT THIS HISTORIC EVENT IN SCHOOL... WHEN OUR OWN BLACK GATEKEEPERS AND OTHERS THAT KNEW OF THIS EVENT SHOULD HAVE BEEN TEACHING THIS...LONG BEFORE NOW...?
How can you say the difference between black people and white people is wealth and then turn around and talk about reparations being education being investment in our communities reparations must consist of money and protections under the law and not for black and brown people but for ADOS people only we are the only one who were damaged from our ancestors being enslaved and no one else. ADOS 101.COM how can you mention Sandy Doherty and not mention ADOS
Doctors dont make eye contact with black people straight up. Lets make a point out of this. Any videographers?
BEST STATEMENT ON THE WHOLE BOARD Melvin Lightford
Don't find out
for reparations, i think that anyone with a family legacy of slavery should never have to pay income tax (if they earn less than a million). what do you think?
Well, it looks like most do not pay much in income taxes anyway. Less than 18k a year?! Crazy
A family legacy might cover a majority of the world, slavery is as old as 9,000 years. In the Roman Empire 1 in 3 people was a slave.
@@mygamepowerdotcom NICE STEREOTYPE, DUDE
@@ironcurtainsteve huh? It was said in the video. Is that not true?
Who pays income tax sellun crack
Black people should probably look into changing political parties. It seems like people like Candace Owens have figured it out. Maybe listen to what she has to say? Very intelligent black woman
They gave every group something for pain money black need to be paid were tried of this racism and leave us alone
I'm my own MAN, I don't need you to tell me what to do with my part of the money . I'm good
Vote the big orange toddler out of the toddler out of the white house
Let's not forget all the other colors of brown and yellow that built this world while oppressed
Who are you speaking of
@@blacktinkerbell2324 the Indians, Hispanics, Asian to name a few
this is a BLK reporter...is that black reporter. With intent to cause separation. Sick of NBC news.
these american is very harsh against us
Let's unify black folks
Yes beloved we will fight for are people freedom with are Gods help
Thanks Gods blessing love
To be honest if your weren't afraid of work white or black your life would be better. If your lazy with your pants at your knees not a chance of a chance.
I don't understand how descendants of slavery can celebrate Juneteenth that makes no sense celebrating the day that the slaves were told that they were free to years later why would anyone celebrate freedom when Freedom should be natural why would you celebrate being free from slavery that is nothing to celebrate we should only celebrate when we received the debt that is owed in the form of reparations that is financially and legal protections under the law that is something worth celebrating
This is separating black people, from all others... This isn't bringing anyone together... also, when are you not black? 50%, 25%,12.5%, 6.25%, 3.125%... This is all based on emotion, with 0 guidance.....
Good question, is that lady who is an actor and playright in this segment black? Looking at her, I would have guessed southern European, Greece or Italy something like that.
What? Wow?
Health And Wealth Of Black Communities are good working.
YOU are a doctor?? Could you rewrite your comment in ENGLISH...good working what??
Vote blue vote Biden 2020!
Have you seen the riots? It's going to be Trump2020
Get a job.
Grow up.
Ok smarty mouth from another race. Get off here you troll!!!
@Kevin Robinson you still wouldnt shut up if they did lol then it would be something else after. Mabey the black community should look at some of there problems 1st and see if thats not causing alot of there problems
Kevin Robinson
16 trillion in housing projects since 1964. Affirmative action and quotas. Diversity. Lowered standards in University entry exams, civil service exams. All this and still the call for repetitions? How much would make you happy? Don’t you realize that the Leftists and the Democrats have poisoned you with hatred. I was never a slave owner, in fact my family where in Europe in the 1800’s. You were never a slave. So isn’t this insanity? I mean think about it man. Enjoy your life. Good luck to you.
I'm just wondering if I am the only one wondering why Janelle Ross' is listed here as "NBC BLK REPORTER"? Now, am I missing anything here, or do WE not know that she is Black... aka... BLK?
Hi I'm Joe Biden and um....and uh...well you know the thing.
Although I do agree with "Black lives matter" on the issue of systemic profiling of any group of people by the police, I do not agree with this commentary regarding poverty level comparisons based on race.
Are there certain inequalities? Yes however, what this panel obviously ignores are migrants who've immigrated from other parts of the world (some from very impoverished countries) achieving success and prosperity based on the merits of their hard work and efforts.
Why do you think migrants came here in the first place? Because of what Black people built for free against their will.
@@deniseworsham8559 so you mean to tell me only black people built things??
No other ethnic group or race of people ever built a thing??
It's not profiling. If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it's for a duck.
You are not keeping the covenant of God .you have gone astray read gods word .
Never heard of Juneteenth!! Why would I??? Are you AWARE OF ALL THE NATIVE TRAGEDIES/Holidays????
There are a ton of would be black wall streets. Subdivided and failed.
I never knew about Juneteenth, the Oklahoma massacre etc...and I think it is CRYSTAL clear that sweeping reparations are much past due.
By Janell Ross name why do they have nbc BLK reporter why not just reporter
I agree with education. Hlp yourchilcren stay in sckool and wanting to learn and succeed
What happened yn the past dhoulc have dird with the pact. remember no one ib born wyth predudice they learn that from the adult community who just wont move obn,

Yes legacy but destroying statues and taking pictures downthe kids won't understand in the future why you even celebrate juneteenth.They'll be like we don't even know what you're talkinand I know it wasn't a great thing to you guys but you guys built this country and yes you should be proud of that that you built that you built the country your ancestorsand if you take away all the bad history and only leave the good then the future kids won't understand or appreciate the freedom that you guys fought for it and finally got
Fourth gerteroiin America
Holiday? There is nothing to celebrate. We are still treated like slaves! Forget a holiday, we need something tangible, like reparations.
Not gonna happen man! Purely a wet dream.
How about a free trip to Africa.
Vade retro satana! Nunquam suade mihi! Sunt mala quae libas. Ipse venena bibas!
