During Jim Crow, the entire black community was oppressed so they stuck together and fought back for liberty. 🇺🇸
And that was his point that flew over everybody’s head and all they heard was Jim Crow better 😂 outrage cry cry cry
I'm 69, and that is true.
@datthebigboss4532 they didn't have a fucking choice. So all of our free will should be stripped away because people are leaving toxic situations. His mother was able to be a single parent and raised him and his sibling without a man. Why should a black woman be forced to have a man.
@@datthebigboss4532 you want to go back to those days? 😄
And than reagan came into power and flooded the community with Crack. They had no choice but to stick together, Tulsa Oklahoma was constantly happening in their communitys. Everytime black towns saw any growth and prosperity the other side didnt want to see none of it. So how were they better. Their better now becuase their is black wealth in the US and now they don't have too worry about getting pitch fork.
During Jim Crow blacks couldnt vote
Exactly, WTF is he talking about??
@BeeN-fy2jh Education is important... mass incarceration, red lining, etc are the main cause of broken families... heck, families were more "together" during slavery... still not a good thing.
This is in accurate you go look up the 15th amendment
And before you go “it was for men” women weren’t even allowed to vote at the time that came with the 19th amendment
Just let that sink in. [FYI WHITE FOLKS IN SOUTHERN STATES ARE THE LARGEST GROUP ON WELFARE MR DONALDS]
The black man who married outside of his race had the unmitigated gall to preach about black families. Make it make sense.
Conservative hypocrisy knows NO limits!!!
Lol unbelievable. The tolerant ones aren't tolerant of people who they don't agree with. You're bringing up him marrying someone who isn't black but you're not racist right? Why does it matter who he married. Liberals are some of the most racist people in the US.
I'm confused. I assumed his children were Black. Are they not?
That explains it!
@@tanyafrida7380 don't say black family when it's not
Jim Crow should not have been a part of your speech
That is the bottom...period💯🎙️
That is the bottom line!!!
Jim Crow is not a bad word or taboo. Byron said during the "time frame" of Jim Crow, more black families had men in the home. ALL families (with children) are better off when they are married and when fathers in the home. These are FACTS! Lyndon Johnson and the Great Society paid black women government subsidies (welfare) to keep black men out of the home. They could not receive welfare and allow a black man to live in the home. FACTS!!! God created marriage and made men the protectors and providers of the home. It's funny how black women lose their Christianity and God's word when discussing the family dynamic.
Why not? The point he made was a valid.
During Jim Crow, a lot of our black fathers got lynched
YUP
True that😢
But the family was together. Compared to today, the father didnt abandon their kids and family!
Perpetual victim class forever!
Yeah, so black families knew the value of black fathers
Imagine being a black vet returning from war and not being able to wear your uniform in public.
Prices are up because of corporate price gouging. During the pandemic, prices increased because of supply chain issues. Once the supply chain returned to pre-pandemic levels, corporations kept their prices high. Many of them also decreased the size of their containers ("shrink-flation").
Facts! Not sure why the Dems aren't calling these Corps. out to the people on why costs are really high.
The greed of Corporate America is what is driving the inflation not Biden!
What McDonald said about black families being together during Jim Crow is some bullshit. Especially given what black people were actually going through during that period of history. They damn sure weren't together because of Jim Crow, or because they voted republican, because if they lived in the south, they didn't have the right to vote any way. He
Say it again for the people in the back!
Absolutely, true. The Republicans like Donalds know their base to too ignorant understand the impact of the pandemic on the world economy and the rampant corporate greed made possible by GOP policies, so they just tell the MAGA zombies that Pres. Biden is responsible for all their pain.
That smirk on her face when he said he’s one of the better communicators in the rep party 😂
he is.
@@vg1024 that says a lot.
He surely knows how to bob and weave or shuck and jive not really sure about the best communication bit
Jim Crow was horrible for black people. I’m so sick of him and Tim Scott.
both were born with the a bootlicking gene its their nature to be that way
When did he say it was great, pls tell me exactly when he said that!
He simply said during even such a tough time, black families were together and we didnt have rampant single mothers

Totally unacceptable. A person would literally be canceled even suggesting that Jews were better under the Holocaust , because they were more together.

Dude you sound like a professional victim. He said black families were together more back then. And it’s true . There was less single parent households and there were more marriages. Welfare was a direct attack on that. And he made it clear

He made the connection to black families and Jim Crow to appeal to his constituents and the Dump. That ish backfired bc he was not selected as Dump’s VP😂😂
No he was absolutely right. The black family was more together if not only because we are all we had.
This is what it looks like when you sell your soul for money and power.
no, this is what it looks like when liberals hate that they can't control a black man from having his own opinion.
Yes. He'll be used by trump like Powell was used by Bush.

Are you serious?? This interview proves why blacks should NOT support the Democratic Party but you people are brainwashed!!!! Jim Crow joe!! My my myyy it’s so sad to see
Abby is TOTALLY correct when she said the Democrat & Republican party today are NOT the same as they were back then.
The democrats are in panic mode. They know trump is winning so they’re election interfering by making up fake charges to attack him with hoping that he doesn’t make it to the White House again🤣
🤣
Nothing is the same. But the ideological inclination has not changed as much. Republicans remain right leaning and the Democrats right leaning other development notwithstanding.
agreed, the republicans are less of the religious zealots, this new MAGA/republicans are less warhawks and more populist. This new democrat..eh seem to be a little less racist, just low expectation racist and a lot more authoritarian/fascist. The trick is the new planation sorta speak seems to be voluntary and the black community seems to be unaware they are still on it. No other race is as lope sided for a political party than the black community. As Joe Biden said "if you have trouble figuring out to vote for me or the other guy then you ain't black".
@@Cp_k37 those are NOT fake charges! Honestly, tRump should have more charges. He cited the coup 01/06/2021 & you know it.
He may not have said Black people were better off during ' Jim Crow ' but it was strongly implied...
No. It was not. He only said more Black people were married and stayed together. That fact does not lead, inherently, to Black people being better off.
And that's what he's still (insisting on) implying.
You think! Donld's is a jackass! He might as well take out a full-page editorial in the Wall Street Journal about his backwards views on our experience during the Jim Crow era!
I feel sorry for his children! They are Black, and they and their children will have to find out about racism in America the hard way: by first-hand experience!
Pls how was it implied?
I LOVE how she gracefully, but with boldness corrects him with the facts.
He’s such a wus!😠
“Gracefully” 😂😂😂 She repeatedly interrupted him. People like you are literally deranged.
This is a foolish comment. Byron provided facts. Byron said during the "time frame" of Jim Crow, more black families had men in the home. ALL families (with children) are better off when they are married and when fathers in the home. These are FACTS! Lyndon Johnson and the Great Society paid black women government subsidies (welfare) to keep black men out of the home. They could not receive welfare and allow a black man to live in the home. FACTS!!! God created marriage and made men the protectors and providers of the home. It's funny how black women lose their Christianity and God's word when discussing the family dynamic.
He is right though. The black family fell apart after l.b. johnsons policies. Almost 90% of black families are fatherless. That is the real issue and the reason more black people become criminals.
Did CNN block her from simply asking him to explain why he used the phrase "Jim Crow" instead of specifying a timeframe, such as 1920s-1960s? For any person in leadership in this country to suggest that life in almost any capacity was better for black people "during Jim Crow" literally makes no sense.
What a disingenuous demonstration by this guy. Sick of him and Tim Scott's "never answering a question -ss."
Watch Joy Reid's interview with Donalds.
And don’t forget Clarence Thomas, they are in the same mine set and all three are married to white women.
No Mrs Virtuous...Go back & listen to it multiple times on .75 speed eer something, cuz he has explained w/ context WHAT HE SAID & WHAT HE MEANT. Catch up K...
I am a Black Republican woman of 70 times around the sun, (the new way to say 70 years old), who supports Donald Trump whole heartedly. I voted for him in 2020 and will vote for him again in November. Black Democrats please hear me out.
Mr. Donalds, I believe that you made a HUGE mistake in your use of the words "Jim Crow." Using that term to articulate your position that this was a better time for black families because we saw a greater number of black families enjoying both parents in the house, was totally lost in your description of the times you were referring to. It would have been better to say the "decades of..." rather than "during Jim Crow..." Those times of Jim Crow were wrought with systemic racism and that's all that most Blacks will equate those times to.
As my deceased mother used to say to people, "you really blew it this time."
It's not likely that you brought ANY Black Democrats to the Republican ticket with that choice of words. It only sounded like you think that those times were better time for Blacks and that we need to go back to Jim Crow again. I know that that's not what you said, but that's how it came off sounding. Listen to yourself again.
I have always admired and agreed with your positions on every issue I've heard you speak on and your support of Donald Trump. You are obviously intelligent and articulate, but these poor choice of words again, did not win Donald Trump any votes among Black Democrats in my opinion. It only most likely solidified Black Democrats to their already long held view that Donald Trump is a racist, and I think that at one time he was, but I don't believe that he holds that belief system anymore. People do change and that's what matters.
Getting back to your use of inadvertently sounding like you support Jim Crow, I hate to say this but you sounded like the so called "house ni___ers" of the old Southern plantations. I know that you didn't mean to come off sounding like that and that's just my opinion.
Of course, I do not align with Al Sharpton's positions on anything nor even ever watch CNN. I just came across this from hearing podcaster Ron Yates mention it. However, in this case, I must side with Al Sharpton. Also, Al Sharpton is still your elder and you were not very respectful. Did I hear that you called him "thick headed"? If not, I stand corrected.
In closing, I think that you should consider making a retraction and explain that you did not support the perilous times for Black people under Jim Crow, and in retrospect, could have used a better choice of words to represent the time period that you were referencing in terms of describing how there were more two parent Black families instead of using such emotionally charged words as "Jim Crow".
Last but not least, you sounded condescending in talking to this beautiful Black hostess on CNN. She held her own against you, and good for her. You might win more Black Democrats by trying to be a bit more humble in your delivery and you might not come across as sounding so arrogant. I am not trying to judge you, but we can't afford to lose potential Black voters this late in the game by unwittingly antagonizing potential Black voters. You have a very broad outreach and, using the wrong choice of words can cost us votes. It's not only about the vote, but we are coming down to the wire and we sure as hell don't need another 4 years of Joe Biden, parish the thought. People in your position don't want to say things that can be misconstrued. I understand you are in the ring of potential Vice President considerations. Congratulations on that achievement. Otherwise, keep up the good work.
CNN, please send this to Mr. Donald's. Thank you.
Yeah, no. He speaks facts. But he never really gets to any point...

Long lists of known and unknowns in Civil Rights History.
Everyone has heard of Martin Luther King.
Everyone knows he was assassinated. But how many remember Medgar Evans?
What are the names of the three black girl children killed at their church by the KKK when the KKK blew it up with a bomb?
Who were the three young men, 2 white and 1 black, who were murdered by the KKK and their car and bodies hidden until the FBI found them?
Strange fruit . Poll tax. Separate but equal.
The President's pushing their own party to make the Civil Rights era laws were John F. Kennedy (D) and Lyndon B. Johnson(D). A bipartisan effort of Republicans and Democrats passed Civil Rights and Voting rights laws.
Dixiecrats and the Republican Southern Strategy took all those
Democrats into the republican fold that were anti- civil rights. The ones who did not go were voted out and rejected by American voters.
This guy did not even live during those times. This guy would not exist in his position back then. This guy came from a single mother household from the sound of his story.
Same for Tim Scott and Clarence Thomas. Without the Andrew Young's of history, they might still be sharecropping.
The education system has failed Americans. I know immigrants who know more American history than this guy.
Maybe because she wouldn’t shut the F up and let the man talk. He could barely get a word in.
You could have made ANY point without using the words Jim Crow!!!!
So you admit that the message would be the same with our without the term? If so, the outrage is just semantics. Which is totally dictated by the outraged people because to originator of the comment meant only one thing and you guys are puttiing your own meanings upon it.

The most significant thing that you said, Congressman is that YOU WEREN'T THERE. P.S.: the black family being together had nothing to do with Jim Crow. Apples & Oranges, brother.
Why on earth could they not asked him about the economic devastation situation that Donald Trump left behind as a result of the way he handled the Pandemic 😷?
For God sake have you all forgotten already?
I usually like Abby. However, she didn't do well here. She never asked for evidence to support any of his statements. How did current policies cause inflation, for example? Which policy of this administration directly led to broken families? In addition, if black families are currently rebounding, why isn't Biden being given the credit for it happening on his watch? He's credited for everything negative that happens. Why not the positive?
Which country did better on economy than U.S. during pandemic?
what pandemic? Jan 6th was just a bunch of peaceful protesters and tourists. The ignorance is not an accident
He would have just lied about it. She still should have asked, but it wouldn’t have amounted to anything.
What ? Trump didn't start COVID china did and economic problems began becuz of jobs shut down and then bidens war on energy stop drilling and limit supply to increase cost
So when women weren't allowed to rent an apartment on their own, more families were together.
Yes because the woman was literally forced to stay.... nowhere else to go.
Is that what he wants?
Honestly? I think he, specifically, would want that.
I'm always stunned by how recent certain changes were, like in the 70's when they made it legal for women to get their own credit cards. He doesn't say "happy families." He says "families" like they are just a statistic.

As a black man, it pained me to see Abby try to force my brother to be truthful. I have no problem with Donalds being a Republican; he’s not the first and he won’t be the last. But he doesn’t have to sugarcoat history in order to be conservative. And if that’s what “they” force him to say in order to get campaign funds, then he needs to leave the party.
At the same time, blacks who are Dems need to stop sugarcoating history of the Dems. Malcolm spoke candidly about them in the 1960s and one might argue that little has changed.
@@sakkysha5496 I agree that the Democrats are not perfect either in their positions regarding us. But I can’t say that only a little has changed. The civil rights acts and voting rights acts were major updates to the country’s treatment of blacks. Are we in a perfect place yet? Absolutely not. But the legislation passed in the 1960s was necessary for us to even have this conversation out in the open. And the Democrats (for their own political purposes) were the ones to push the legislation forward. That’s just a fact.
@@matthew223740 And now you're lying. Democrats filibustered the bill for months. It was Republicans who pushed it through.
The point is, Jim Crow was a terrible damn time in American history for black people, and they couldn't even vote at that time. I'm also tired of repubs like him constantly bashing any policies by the dems that actually did help black people---especially since the repubs haven't really come up with a damn thing that actually has helped black people or anybody else, recently. And both parties did switch their platforms in 1964 when the Civil Right Bill was passed. The dems became the party of the working-class, while the repubs became the party of big business and the rich. That's still the case today. Also, welfare was actually started in 1935 during the depression mainly for white widows and their children---it was not started for black people at all. And McDonald is lying claiming
Idk why Abby keeps bringing this guy on her show. He sold his soul. He’s a MAGA puppet

Say that again for the folks in the back of the room. All this talk about black families...he's a joke
🤦🏾♀️
He doesn't have to marry a Black Woman 😂
Byron Donalds was born 14 years after the end of the Jim Crow era. Families during that era didn’t always get the chance to “stay together” when family members were lynched for no other reason than the color of their skin. And there was no recourse to justice for those families horrendously ripped apart.
His parents splitting up had nothing to do with the end of the Jim Crow era. He attended A&M University and Florida State University - opportunities he wouldn’t have had under the Jim Crow discrimination he’s pining for.
Maybe Donalds would like to explain why 14 year old Emmett Till was better off under Jim Crow laws. He dared to speak to a white woman in a store and, in retaliation, her husband and his half brother armed themselves and abducted the boy from his great uncles house. They savagely beat and tortured a child before shooting him in the head and throwing his body into the Tallahatchie River.
Neither Bryant nor Milam faced any consequences cos they were white men and their victim was a black boy. But following his red tie performance Donalds obviously still believes laws shouldn’t apply to white guys - well certainly not a rich white one called Trump who might make him his VP if he’s suitably subservient.
Trump keeps telling us he’s going to “Make America Great Again” - a phrase used by Ronald Reagan, George H W Bush and Bill Clinton cos Trump can’t even make up his own slogans. But he never actually tells us just which era he wants to drag us back to or even when America stopped being great.
Byron Donalds, in his VP audition, seems to have settled on an era when he thinks America was “great” - although not for people who looked like Byron Donalds. Trump wouldn’t even have rented one of his apartments to him or even let him count his money at one of his casinos - before he tanked them all. So why he thinks he had a snowball in Hell’s chance of being chosen as Trump’s VP shows he doesn’t even know his dear leader at all. Donald’s obviously didn’t listen to Eric - “we’ll win cos we’re white.”
What neither Trump nor Donalds seem to understand we don’t live in the last century. We want to know what they intend to make our lives better now. We want to hear their visions of the future not hear them pining for an era long past.
Their problem is neither Trump nor his MAGAs have a vision for the future - well certainly not one they want to admit to.
He wasn’t pinning for an era. During Jim Crow black people were an ethical moral people on a large scale and we went downhill after that and it makes you wonder why. Everyone didn’t experience the lynchings in the south. Some people had decent experiences during those times. We knew about work ethic, had strong family bonds etc. Why are you missing the point. Who cares about a damn slogan? It’s about knowing that when the government interferes with your life too much, it’s hardly ever a good outcome! It didn’t do us any justice to accept welfare and live off it for decades and then wonder why we’re in such dire straits. Your hatred is causing you to be willfully ignorant and I mean that with all due respect.
Bryon Donald’s comes From Brooklyn, Ny.
Your broad brush application of the Black experience is flawed. Emmitt Till was horrible, lynchings did happen but both were less prevalent then black on black crime is today. That crime is a direct result of the disintegration of the Black 2 parent home. The decline in the Black 2 parent home does correlate to the increase in government programs that disincentivized staying together...and not just for Black couples.

@@mslizzardroscoe9051 Obviously you did not live in the South during Jim Crow era. Anyone who lived during that era most Black people (in the South was aware of lynchings, knew someone who was beaten by police, abused/murdered/raped by a White person, or wrongfully imprisoned for no reason at all. If not for the "government interfering with our life", there would not have been Equal Rights, Civil Rights, Housing Rights, Voting Rights that Black people were able to benefit. If you think Black people would have been better off if none of those rights were available to Black people, then you are being willfully ignorant and maybe you should talk to someone who actually lived during that era.

No you numbfk. The Traditional Family (Married Couple with Kids) were more visible in the Black Community under Jim Crow than today where a lot of Black Women are Single Mothers with Multiple Baby Fathers OUT OF MARRIAGE. Do white people and latinos need to explain to black people now?
Candace owens and tim scott too they don’t care about black people
Actually Hakim Jeffries and Maxine Waters fit better. Selling out others has been done by Black politicians for decades.
He handled that so poorly. He needed to acknowledge the unequality in those times and that the result was people were afraid and fearful during that era. He is ignoring the fears that era planted in black families. His lack of acknowledging the bad, is a bad reflection on him having a wholesome attitude. As a white woman, I was afraid for them during those times. So unfair and unconstitutional, an insult to our flag. Yes, he is articulate, but I question his motives.
Well stated and thank you for both your candor and empathy.
Democrats are an insult to our flag.
We live in Florida. We're what dump would call RINOs because he's not a true republican.
I've got no love for Donalds. He's just another suckerfish going asking for the ride. Along with Luna, Gaetz, and a handful other extremists who are a stain on the nation. So it pains me to partially come to his defense.
I don't feel like he's tapped into the reality of the Jim Crow and Civil Rights era. He's also disingenuous about the republican and democratic parties then and now as well as ignoring the Dixiecrats. Whether he's under informed about the era or being purposely dishonest, I don't believe he was saying the Jim Crow era was better. I also feel this is being made into something worse then he intended.
BTW, Donalds is a felon convicted of fraud along with his orange leader.
He handled that so great! Jim Crow should have never happened and the fact that you’re still for the party that aligned itself with that makes you have no real empathy. Please have a seat. Because while we were fearful, we never had a fear towards each other like we do now! We could actually go to our neighbors to borrow a cup of sugar. Yes we trusted each other like that until we became morally unhinged. The point is…we as a people have never been as oppressed since that time but are still crying about oppression and fences that are no longer there, which makes the whole racism spill of today sound a bit delusional and disingenuous. Therefore, I think your white guilt has overcome you. Because if you truly feel bad about the democratic policies that has just about ruined an entire race then you wouldn’t be here championing for Biden who has always aligned himself with the denigration of black people.

Thank you, Abby, for holding him accountable. He can make his points without lying!!!
Whether you like him or not, take out his Jim Crow era mention, he is right, black families were of more abundance than today. He should not have mentioned Jim Crow. Maybe something along the line of, before a certain year, blacks were more in tune to marriage and raising children as a union.
All of these Reconstruction era black senators and representatives were members of the Republican Party. The Republicans represented the party of Abraham Lincoln and of emancipation. The Democrats represented the party of planters, slavery and secession.
Founded in 1865, the Ku Klux Klan (KKK) extended into almost every southern state by 1870 and became a vehicle for white southern resistance to the Republican Party’s Reconstruction-era policies aimed at establishing political and economic equality for Black Americans. Its members waged an underground campaign of intimidation and violence directed at white and Black Republican leaders. Though Congress passed legislation designed to curb Klan terrorism, the organization saw its primary goal-the reestablishment of white supremacy-fulfilled through Democratic victories in state legislatures across the South in the 1870s.
White Democrats had regained political power in every Southern state. These Southern, white, "Redeemer" governments legislated Jim Crow laws, officially segregating the country's population. Jim Crow laws were a manifestation of authoritarian rule specifically directed at one racial group.

During Jim Crow black families could not vote in the south, Get your facts straight Donaldson.
Back in the day under the democrats the blacks were slaves......today under the democrats they get to kill their babies.......all the while selling the fantasy that the KKK switched to Republicans.
I hope democrats keep focusing on these petty gotcha issues instead of listening to the American people who are suffering from the crime, inflation, endless wars and lack of rule and order. That is why Trump is going to win in a landslide in 2024.

Because there are not. Black Americans make up an overwhelming portion of welfare recipients. The real question of the day is what your intentions are in being knowingly deceptive.
The truth is there are more not perhaps. Poverty might end in this country if white people put the “real face” on it.
@veronicasanchez5627 There are more white people in the state of Kentucky receiving welfare than any other ethnicity in the entire country.

You are so wrong, it's verging on ridiculous. But what's displayed here is the game play of Democrats. All he said is pointing out the fact that there was a time in the past that black families thrived. A time when fathers were at home almost in all black families. Then in order to specify what period could be taken as an example, he pointed to when Jim crow policies were ongoing. He was not crediting jim crow, neither was he saying it benefited anyone among African Americans. He only mentioned jim crow to specify a time frame. The unfortunate thing is that this woman understands exactly what he said, but feigns ignorance in order to pull this useless stunt.

@@jaggedlotus3567
If you call her very ignorant what about your mama?
Your right that blacks like all Races on the spectrum practiced marriage as a tradition. BUT and I say respectfully.
They did not vote conservatively at all because even with the 1889 15th Ammendment guarantee to vote whites did everything they had in their power to deny them the vote.🗳
The 13th Ammendment loophole to slavery said only convicted felons couldn't vote.( overnight we all became convicts and couldn t vote.🗳
The Klan burned 🔥 down voting house all over the South. Black percentages dropped to 2 and 3 percent. Couldn't vote 🗳
Illiterate Blacks were given literacy tests on the constitution ( how could illiterate black people who it was illegal to educate pass these tests? They couldn't.
Illiterate whites could because their grandfather's had voted in past elections. We couldn't qualify for the vote 🗳
It wasn't til the 1965 voting rights act signed by Kennedy enforced the 15th Ammendment almost 100 yrs later.
So my question is how could marginalized married black folks support their families, build generational wealth, and protect their political interests with all those stumbling blocks crucified them every step of the way.
That's the real issue here not the married black families during Jim Crow. It's the results we still suffer from today hampering any efforts made to be treated equally.

This dude is a reminder that some slaves really did love their masters
Bingo
The black family was torn apart in the1960’s when it was difficult for a black man to find a decent paying job so he could support his family. This led to black single women having to go on welfare. Government laws at the time did not allow a father in the house or a black mother would lose her benefits. This led to the separation of the black family
Ok so you said the black family was torn apart..when black men couldn’t find decent paying jobs. And then you said this led to black single women going on welfare. So with that being said..are you saying that the black woman put him outdoors because he wasn’t earning enough and then she became single? Or did she become single after she sought the help of government assistance and had to throw him out?
The black woman had no problem struggling with her man! Because it was better to stay with your children’s father and have the leadership of a man even if he was a bit strapped for cash. So with that being said, what led to black women being single is the lie that the government told them. You can have this, that and the third with no requirement to have to get a job… BUT the only thing that you can’t have is a man. And thus led to the over arching question….Why stay with a man when you can have the same thing without one and they fell for it. Replacing one struggle for another struggle. And where on earth does that make any sense? It was all by design! They could no longer enslave us so they learned how to do so in a covert manner that’s all. Because what was stopping them from only allowing you to stay on it a short period of time before they kicked you off of it? Instead they allowed you to receive it forever, crippling you and keeping you alienating from your black counterpart aka a man?

@@TheZerox500 So why did he even bring up the subject of Jim Crow era?
@TheZerox500 Byron is conflating a time of segregation and oppression with the positive well-being of the black family unit. This idea that conservative views support a prosperous black America is a false narrative. What he does not address with facts is how the civil rights movement and policies and laws implemented in the Johnson Era have any direct causal effect to the disintegration of his version of the black family unit. I am not saying that the black community and the cohesiveness of the black family doesnt have its uphill battle. I am black myself, so I know. But blaming civil rights and inclusive policy does more harm to Black America and doesn't solve the ongoing embedded, systemic racism that is the actual cause of the difficulty of black family cohesiveness.
You can say families in general stayed to together leading up to women's rights, but if you're going to do that, explain that women didn't have as many options because they didn't have the same access to education and jobs that would create an environment were they could leave their husbands, so a lot of families stayed together in spite of abuse, adultery and alcoholism, because they simply couldn't walk away like they can today.
Well said!
Go check what women were doing in the 20s. 1920 over 100 years ago. Many didnt want the right to vote many wanted to be house wives. There are women today namely yt women make it a mission to be married before leaving college. They show off their rings at graduation. The wealth is in the family unit even today.

It is evident he has no historical awareness of what Jim Crow is, and what it meant for the Black family. Yikes.
Said a fool. Statistically they had more family units, were Christian and owned their own things. Was it ideal? No. Did they actually prosper? Yes.
He married a white woman. Under Jim Crow that was illegal and he probably would have been put in jail for even talking to her.
What? How did you get that from what he said?
Lol you need to re-watch what he said in the video played, before the so called journalist started arguing with him.
You're too ignorant and short-sighted to understand what he's saying. Let's just pretend to be pro-black but they're really not, they're only pro-black if you're a Democrat. That's why Biden said "if you don't know if you're for me or Trump, you ain't Black".
How is he blaming President Biden? If he says Abby one more time… Fabulous interview. Jim Crow was never good for anyone!!!!
He is something else, and it is not good!
He never said Jim Crow was good. He just noted Jim Crow asa time reference. Silly Dems always race baiting.
I guess we shouldn’t talk about the wealth achieved by Blacks in Black Wall Street, higher Black home ownership, more Black teachers, the building of HBCUs, creation of Jazz, Blues, and Rock ‘n Roll, origins of the civil rights movement, Harlem Renaissance, and so many other important accomplishments because they occurred during Jim Crow? This attack against this Congressman by other Black thought leaders is embarrassing. It says that Black Americans shouldn’t be proud of their history of intact families and high marriage rates. They should continue to allow mainstream media to uplift fatherlessness and single parenthood.
Jim Crow was good for Blacks because it made us stick together and do for ourselves. During Jim Crow, Blacks established over 50 independent towns and settlements. During Jim Crow Blacks owned 14 million acres of land. During Jim Crow Blacks were self-sufficient, God-fearing, morally upright, family and community-centered. Husbands and Fathers were in the home with their wives and children. Blacks were the most married in the U.S., and Black men were highly skilled in plumbing, roofing, capentry, brick masonry, construction, electricians, farming, fishing, hunting, and all sorts of trades. Black women were skilled in sewing, cooking, weaving, herbal medicines, child-rearing, and being the absolute best help-meets for their husbands.
Although Jim Crow was all about segregating Whites from Blacks but compared to our socioeconomic stattus today, I definitely agree that Blacks were in a better socioeconomic position back then.
Segregation was better for Black unity and solidarity than integration has ever been.
He could have easily talked about the fact that there was a time when black families were together (I’m going to assume he’s factual about that) without saying the words Jim Crow. He knows exactly who those words are going to land on.
ABSOLUTELY!!
Spot on
That is factually accurate, though. So he shouldn't state a fact?
