    Larry speech of his father encouraged me to take my EMT course at 40 yes old. Being afraid to go back . But what always stuck with me is his dad say you may not be able to control the out come but you can control the effort. I passed my course and ready to take the state test and 🎧 to his dad's advice again. Thank you Mr. Elder. You are encouraging

    • @JRCGuitarist
      @JRCGuitarist 7 лет назад +3

      Ricardo Cantoral The conservative side is full of crap too. All political parties are biased and sell crap to lean towards their side. The conservatives push people to lean towards excuses for corporations and wealthy people in their own right. The conservatives made this bed that many liberals feed off of for the victim mentality. So it's not appropriate to take accountability off the conservatives involvement in this. They even push self-righteous judgement. They created this "media liberal bias" myth, and yet they are accusing others of playing the victim mentality? So really neither side is better than the other. What matters is that we come to see the truth beyond political crap, get over this loyalty to political parties, and ultimately develop a health respect for human life.

    • @ricardocantoral7672
      @ricardocantoral7672 7 лет назад +1

      No self righteous judgment ? The left that makes anyone feel guilty about being white or heterosexual ? The identity politics came from the left. They are the ones imposing there self righteousness on others. They have been the ones trying to shut down any conservative speaking on college campuses. Berkeley students are still angry about an appearance by Milo Yiannopoulos that never even happened. Almost every major university in the states has some bull shit gender studies course. MSNBC, ABC, CNN, have continuously skewed the facts on their favor and has made every effort to try and discredit Donald Trump. Thugs in black masks, so called "anti-fascists", have beaten, punched and pepper sprayed innocent people. Leaders of Black Lives Matter, bankrolled by a Nazi, are not denied almost any platform. The Hollywood elite has seized every major award show in order to spew their leftist agenda. Conservatives are minority my friend. The bullies are on the Left.

    • @JRCGuitarist
      @JRCGuitarist 7 лет назад +2

      Ricardo Cantoral I never said the left didn't have self righteous judgment. You should read more carefully. I said the conservatives are at fault as much as the left. I also remember seeing just as much media discrediting Hillary Clinton, and calling her a criminal. They even bash liberal politicians. The media is an equal opportunity money making corporation. But the victim mentality of the right cries, "media liberal bias" when the conservatives fund and control a lot of media in this country. The media go where they can get views. The conservatives know that. Trump feed them with his prejudice slander, dramatic comments, and disrespectful behaviour and Clinton got hers from her own illegal activity. But then the right tries to blame liberals for their choices as if they made them do it. B.S.
      The conservatives sat and allowed companies for years to send jobs over seas along with the left. Even helped create the economic issues we are in, the conservative exaggerate issues just like the left. calling any poor person who legitimately has a problem lazy for their poverty, when most people are working, but aren't being paid for their hard work. As if this doesn't make poor people bad about being in need of help from those who can afford to pitch in and offer services. But capitalism is so great. Evidence lies in the what we have today. May I also add that conservatives are cries about communism, when this country is no where near it. Complaining on the right side is quite entertaining. You'd be a fool, if you think that minorities are wrong for being angry when cops commit crimes are let go, but when citizens commit them, they are issued sentences. Yes, this is a real problem. However, if you ask a lawyer, people with money, have a higher chance of justice. Who holds majority panther money? European descent people. Does this means I agree with the BLM, no. But they aren't wrong when they point out that in certain communities European descent people get away with things. I don't agree with the "white privilege" generalisation. Oh don't get me started on Mitt Romney's false and exaggerated statistics.
      The conservatives for years pushed segregation and tried to cry "Media liberal bias" as an excuse when the left argued integration. So when you really look at it, the conservatives are a minority is full of crap (again conservatives fund and control a good amount of media), the conservatives don't it like when it tastes it's own medicine. And the same goes vise versa for the liberals. Both sides throw shade for committing the same crap, and basically the same crimes. Both are cut from the same cloth. You are one of the many people who fell for the right wings excuses and victim mentality just like many fall for the liberal. Both sides are corrupt, self serving, and immoral. People simply idolise these parties and look where it's gotten. People place political party loyalty over human survival. As far as I am concerned, I'd rather call a spade a spade. Neither side is for the people. The people need to stop depending on these parties tonne what we need, and become a community ourselves.

      Fala Crow Any criticism of Clinton was dismissed as "fake news" and right wing conspiracy theories. The right on the defensive side. Please don't tell me they employed the same skullduggery like Clinton pretty much commandeering The New York Times in order to make herself look better.

    i saw something last week which i found so disturbing and wicked i could not get it out of my mind - but watching this restores my faith in humanity - what an incredible character this guy is and no wonder he has the power to influence so many people for the good. Watched "Roots" as a kid - grew up kinda ashamed to be white but listening to Larry, he doesn't make you ashamed because he is this fantastic overcoming encouraging man and the very opposite of a victim - ironic then that he gets called all the rascist names under the sun for saying "racism isn't the problem - fatherlessness is" - the end of the book says i shall turn the hearts of the fathers to the children and the hearts of the children to their fathers" - pause for 400 hundred years and think on that. We salute you Larry Elder THANKYOU - THIS IS LARRY ELDER AND WE'VE GOT A COUNTRY TO SAVE!!!!!

    40-50 years ago, any kind of 'victimhood' was considered a poor excuse for not applying oneself. Larry Elder echoes the same sentiments of Jewish households back then - it doesn't matter what others said about us, you still had to get an education and a job. All responsibility, no excuses.
