Props to the majority of Americans for knowing the last four years wasn't what this country needed or wants. Go interview all the Hispanic and black voters that Trump gained this election Andrew.
enough fucking glazing this man he makes good content but yall suck this man sloppy. he's clearly biased in presenting/editing channel 5 videos and is simply more entertaining than mainstream media, but just as faulty in reporting integrity. being on the ground helps a lot but stories are told in the final edit as well, that changes the perception a lot. there is tons and tons of bothsidesism on this channel, and people that act like Andrew deserves a Pulitzer for this shit when its just as lacking in sources and documentation as real news are fucking laughable.
@@jimiller1988 how where the last 4 years bad? Biden added 16 million job, America had the BEST economic recovery from covid. Can you name 2 trump polices that benefit the lower and middle class?
Jim Crow ended when my dad was a senior in High School. He was the last segregated class in Texas. That's not ancient history, you're literally talking about my father, and I'm only 42 now.
yeah. people act like fascism hasn't ever happened here before and will never happen here, but it's ALWAYS been here, and it's part of RECENT history. hitler was literally inspired by the Jim Crow Laws.

@@CommonSenseMechanicI swear to God people like y'all will never be happy with Andrew's work. He's making videos for both sides and even put like 4-5 videos on Trump even before the election. Just stop whining and enjoy the amazing journalism.
@CommonSenseMechanic because he was at the Howard University campus the night of the election and the vast majority of people (if not all) were Kamala supporters. Did you want him to instant transmission to the heart of Texas as well? Dude is a person, he can't be everywhere at once. It's like asking why he was interviewing only furries at a furry convention. Because that's where he was and that was the people around him. If you think he's got an agenda you haven't watched enough of his videos. Dude will talk to literally anyone.
Just wanna add some context. It wasn’t for “whatever” reason necessarily that the federal government pulled out of the South in 1877. The election of 1876 was absurdly contested; the United States was probably close to another political fiasco at that point. To cool the tensions down (results still weren’t decided for the election and the March inauguration day was rapidly approaching) Rutherford Hayes’ followers struck a deal with Southern democrats to pull out federal troops if they just certified Hayes as the winner in a congressional group called together to decide the election. The Democrats took the deal and this resulted in the development of bigoted Southern policies as the federal government was no longer in their hair. It’s also why the man studying US history marked 1877 as the end of Reconstruction; the federal government pulled out in that year after Hayes took his position.

I really enjoyed the history portion of this episode. My daughter is learning about this period of time in her 5th grade class right now and I was happy to see that both tellings of the history (yours and the text book) aligned. I felt like the kids in her school are actually getting a solid understanding of the good and bad history of our nation, which is so important. I grew up in the south and my grandmother was there when the Little Rock 9 entered central high school. It’s incredible to look back on the complete 180 that many southerners have done since that time. While my grandmother was raised through segregation and prejudice, by the time she died, she had completely changed her perspective. Her best friend was a black woman named Kathy. They were neighbors and bonded over all of the good and bad times in their later life. They cooked for one another, watched each others grandchildren, and cared for each other through each of their own cancer diagnosis. On my grandmothers death bed, she clung to Kathy and cried. She apologized for the ignorance of her youth and asked for forgiveness for that horrible time in her past. There is a lot of good in our country - despite the bad times we have been through. I have hope for all of us - now and in the future. As one of the interviewees said- there is so much more to our nation’s history than its leaders.
This is edited and opinionated history. Black were then like they are now, violent, hateful, rat packing, attacking the old the weak, the young. They start the fights than claim to be victims just like they do today.
History is nothing but lies agreed upon. It's his story. Making the good look bad and the bad look good. The best thing you can teach your children is to question EVERYTHING!!! also take em out of public schools asap.
I'm glad that the accounts of history match. In my 4th grade elementary school history classes, we were taught that the civil war was fought over states' rights. We were taught about the war heros who fought for their home state of Virgina, like Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson, with the Emancipation Proclamation as a side note. The worst part was that our teacher herself was a black woman she just had to follow the state curriculum. It's amazing how, as little as a decade ago, we were still being brainwashed with Confederate ideologies at a young age.
I know it's never ever been successful, changing presidential canidates within the incumbent party at anypoint, and we will skip the primary, but if we pander to undecideds instead of our fickle, devided, notoriously unreliable voting base, i think we should be good. 0:05
I went to public school in the deep South, and while we learned that the KKK was a terrorist organization, I don't remember ever learning about their true origins. Thank you Channel 5 and to those interviewed here for these history lessons and for your invaluable insight on the evolution of class and race relations in the US since the reconstruction period!
I'm so glad Andrew's now engaging more with the people he's interviewing rather than just letting them rant. It's a good balance of letting them speak but giving a direction to the conversation.
I mean, it's also easier to engage with actual well spoken people rather than trump supporters who just ramble about fake FOX news stories and have no interest in holding an actual conversation
I these cases, there was an interesting conversation to be had also. It's not so much of a character portrayal as it's about the issues and contents of what's discussed.
I love your grassroots journalism. You give people space to speak and share their views, you’re balanced and neutral in a way that isn’t boring. Keep it up! Big love from the UK 🇬🇧

I would respectfully disagree and add why. Andrew (especially recently with this year’s uploads) tends to deconstruct and criticize more views and opinions on one side of the political spectrum (you figure out which I’m referring to) and allow for the rhetoric of the other side of the political spectrum to go seemingly unchecked. I’ve seen it more and more as time has passed on Channel 5. He is certainly not painting a “clear” picture of the current political landscape. Just my opinion however.
@@jimiller1988 you framing all the kids as privileges shows your own rhetoric against the youth of America. so many kids have scholarships and would you believe it not all of them are privileged. they are the people that will become the average american.
unfotunately 60% of american adults are under that comprehension level so your comment doesn't say much, being moderately educated in this country already puts you ahead of most humans in general when it comes to political knowledge, nice attempt at a dogwhistle though asuka!

Trump put out a 5 min clip yesterday I believe; he outlines that specifically. How educational institutions are overpriced, overly politicized and not delivering results like they should
Because it's false information. In 2024 the United States ranked 14th overall, but 38th in Math and 24th in science. Also we spend the second most amount, not first.
Along with teaching how to safely make a fire, grow and maintain fruit and vegetable plants and regenerate and maintain soil health and if you are a meat eater how to hunt/fish, skin/feather and butcher an animal. People should be taught from primary school to college how to look after themselves in the wild (and of course the wild) in case the social sciences or philosophies end up failing and you find yourself up shits creek without a paddle.
Canadian here. We had civics and careers classes and learning about it actually made me conservative. You have this illusion in your head that people are mistaken. They aren’t mistaken, they are selfish and care about their own safety and family’s financial well being.
@@PandatheGOAT If that were true, and they understood who the economic policies of the trump administration favors, the working class wouldnt be republican by a majority. Mass deportations? will cost 100s of billions and will raise prices across every grocery and construction project, Tariffs? will do roughly the same, perhaps even worse for non groceries as a lot of things get made in china, which if trump follows through with his promises, will get a 60% Tariff. Trumps idea, is that tariff will make american manufacturing "great again" but either misleads, or intentionally omits the parts where it would make the Cost of living dramatically higher in the u.s, he boasts "even 10% tariffs will bring 100s of billions of dollars" but omits that those will come out the pocket of the american consumer, not other countries.

It’s all on the fear mongering and slew of other fallacies the Republican party runs on. Establishing a common enemy that lacks the grounds to speak for themselves (immigrants and “freeloaders” on welfare [they really just mean poor people]) provides them with an excuse to keep people punching down rather than looking up at the sources of our country’s struggles. It’s the greedy elites protecting their coffers and creating the largest wealth gap in America’s history under some false pretense of an “American dream” that keeps the bottom feeders eating right out of their palms.
Lol stfu, you can absolutely blame the portion of voters who live in an alternate reality because they gargle propaganda daily . Ever wonder why Trump wants to de fund the department of education ?

Came to this vid expecting a load of Harris voters lamenting it being the end of the world under Trump, ended up getting an American history lesson and seeing a load of bright young students who know their shit and with pretty realistic takes on everything. Seems good🙏
Why do you come to videos looking for controversy? And Trump is undeserving of a second term of presidency, the only issue is that Harris stood for nothing. Some “democracy” this country is. Instead of 1 option we get 2 options. 😂
@@OfftheWalllll looking for controversy? Andrew has said himself MANY times, he goes to where people are yelling the loudest and puts a mic in their face. He built his career on unhinged people. So yeah, that’s too what I expected and wanted. But since his SA accusations he’s become a mouthpiece for the left. Trying to dispel anything the right says about the left… immigration, the takeovers in sanctuary cities, lefties losing their mind over trumps win. Also, you’re jumping down this dudes throat when he was commending the intelligence of those interviewed. Not everyone is out to say something to trigger you brother.
@@OfftheWalllllYeah so undeserving that Yeah so undeserving that he cause 0 wars even though everybody was freaking out about how he was gonna cause wars but made piece with North Korea stop the taliban from killing Americans And what happened as soon as Biden and Harris came in The Afghanistan retreat which was terrible A list of new wars and problems
@@OfftheWalllll In this case it’s simply the right or wrong choice. Harris as president is America digging its feet in the dirt. Trump is a landslide that’ll compromise our countries future.
@@OfftheWalllll Doomer mentality aside, almost all of humans in history never had a choice in their life so yes while it sucks that we only have 2 options, bad and even worse, it's still worth voting. also i kind of go to videos for controversy too lol. not just to argue but because I don't want to fall into a echo chamber plus it can humanize people i normally feel are morally reprehensible.
This is why I will never respect folks who say they voted for her, left that presidential portion blank, or stayed home. Clearly they weren’t looking at the big picture and now no one will help Gaza and the Palestinian people. Was it even worth it?

Shit isn’t a two party system lmao it’s literally rich vs rich just one wears blue and the other wears red but whatever.
@@therealkimwells Are you implying Kamala would've helped them or something? Nobody in the U.S. government is going to tell Israel what to do. Both nations are U.nder S.atan's A.uthority. I mean if you look up the origin of "America" as a name it's based on Ameru. A South American featheted serpent diety, also known by Quetzalcoatal in Mayan culture. America is literally Land Of The Feathered Serpent. That old serpent, Satan/Saturn. When you Google the oldest depiction of Saturn, the diety worshipped on the 6th day (Sabath), represented by a 6 pointed Star, he's pulled in his chariot by... You guessed it. Feathered Serpents. 🤙 America and Israel are Satanic in origin and have been since day 1. That was the whole point. "Religious freedom" was why they founded it. They just don't mention the religion they weren't allowed to practice was Satanic. 😂
@ if the goal was to stop the genocide your vote should go towards harm reduction. No candidate will be perfect but at least Kamala called for a ceasefire and Palestinian statehood. Now, there will be no help from Trump and his admin. Also, where’s Jill Stein? If she was the supposed best option on this issue? She’s disappeared and has not spoken about Gaza.

Being completely honest I didn't even know that happened in SC during reconstruction, I just assumed the south was still angry and the tripe K formed after the civil war. This kinda opened my eyes a bit and I genuinely believe that it comes down to a lack of education in public schools and my own ignorance that always thought the reparations stuff was dumb.

Thank you for your journalism. Stay safe Andrew, we need you desperately in times like today. Honest reporters with guts are very few and far between these days.
I know Americans don't give a f about European stuff. But, honestly I'm over here watching all this like a dogfight or something. Like, over here, every country has like 6-10 parties, and almost never does one party win majority. Usually multiple parties have to gang up to get the majority and run the nation. Like, until a few days ago, Germany war run by three parties - greens, socialists and liberals. And if you think they're the same, oh no. The greens are really green, not some watered down, the socialists are actually red, and the liberals actually want to cut taxes for the rich and be all liberal about it and whatnot. Meanwhile, the US it seems like a lot of leaded gasoline sniffing people took politics up as another sport besides American football and baseball. And this just should not be like that. It will lead a country to ruin. Like with bombing middle east, or selling cocaine everywhere, I and most Europeans don't care what you do. But this political short circuit, or idiocracy will doom your entire nation, while the russkies still play cold war. Keep in mind, if Ukraine has to take a pleadeal because of trump, entire russia will see you as submissive losers, and the russians will try to fuck you again, maybe in alaska, maybe through cuba, but they will. And they'll know you have a leadership that is afraid to fight, and will rather make peacedeals that hurt the US....

its crazy how sensible and intelligent everyday people are in comparison to the robots on the internet actively antagonising both sides with cherry picked statistics and videos.
channel 5 is insanely enlightening and i wish it was the default mode of press and media. everything else is such a wish wash of lies and belligerence, if not that, then they’re never telling the full story. sad stuff.
You use the terms "everyday people" and "cherry-picked" in the same sentence. Editing does wonders. This video was the polar opposite of those "Americans are dumb and ignorant" street interviews.
Close to 50% of internet traffic in 2022 were bots. I'm not saying the number of bots and troll farms pressing agendas is even close to that 50%, but it's happening and the more believable language model AI gets the worse it's going to get.
5:49 _"[...] and everyone knows what they did"_ I grew up in the US in the 90s and thought I knew my history. I took and passed AP US history, but I was never taught about this event in school, nor did I find it in my own efforts to better learn the subject. I've feel I've again been lied to by my public education (education is not academia, to be clear). The way racism permeated countless many things on a profound level during my childhood (and continues to, of course) never ceases to astonish and disgust me.

@@Dunmerdog It's hard for me to say with much of an informed opinion because I lived in an all-white bubble in a suburban part of California (Pacific Grove, which is super expensive now). I only ever saw people of different ethnicities from a distance, and my child-brain wasn't exactly analyzing the concept. That said, we had an annual event in my hometown that continued up until fairly recently called "The Feast of Lanterns," in which some of the all-white high school girls would be chosen to reenact a supposed Chinese story about two starcrossed lovers ending with one turning into a dragon or something. This of course meant that it was considered completely acceptable to have a group of all-white people dress up in Chinese outfits and parade through the city, though it was argued this was homage to the Chinese railworkers who had a relatively large community in the general area. There was (and still is) another event called "the Butterfly Parade" which is supposed to mark the arrival of the Monarch butterflies on their annual migration path. I don't remember the exact context, but I have pictures of myself in third grade wearing a Native American headdress. I think all the third-graders were supposed to dress as Indigenous peoples, since each grade had a gimmick in terms of their representation in the town parade. I'll leave what that says about race relations in the 90s in terms of how it looked in upper-middle class suburbia to the individual reader.
As an european i feel sad that trump doesnt understand, that any sort of halfassed peacedeal in ukraine will have all of russia looking at america, like it's a defeated submissive bitchboy of a nation. And the russians will keep fucking with it, and the Western nations. Only peace is achieved through superior firepower and kicking russian bullies out. I can't believe, I, an European have to teach fighting to Americans. And I can't believe the defeatist talk some ""patriots"" keep talking. Some real stupid loser talk, about having to negotiate bla bla bla. Ww2 vets would spit on these people. There are democratic friends of America out there, fighting a war of survival, and America can't decide if they can help or not? What kind of loser talk is that?
You’re not alone. I should have payed attention in 8th grade, or read a book or something. Another day, another world view expanded. Love me some channel 5
It wasn't a lost opportunity, every element of Civil Rights originated from that spate of Reconstruction Amendments. Prior to the Fourteenth Amendment there were practically zero restrictions on what state governments could do to their citizens. Historians refer to Reconstruction as our second founding for a reason. While most of this took nearly a century to fully come to fruition, we would not be where we are today without the steps we took then. This era was equally if not more critical to our current formation of government than our initial founding.
watch the tv show Deadwood. its not in your face about it, but if you watch it closely it details exactly what america was like back then its also an excellent, top tier tv show too

That footage isn't actually from that era. It's from a movie made in 1915 named "Birth Of A Nation", so not so much later. But again, it's a movie. Not a recording.
Go to china, Iran or some Middle Eastern countries and then tell me that. There’s a lot of other countries in this world that don’t allow outsiders, other races, or other ethnic groups to own land.

Isn't it strange as a US citizen, to just know and expect the majority of us to not be educated and informed on our *own* history, let alone world history? Now compare that with citizens of other Western countries... it's not right. It's so easy to learn, it just isn't being taught without going into debt in college.

people who voted for kamala talk about it with nuance and are not afraid to also criticize her. people who vote for trump praise him like he's the reincarnation of jesus and as if he could do no wrong. that's the big difference and that's also probably why trump won, because his support is more radical
Bro's seeing the randoms on youtube shouting "Trump 2024" and claiming they're all like that. He won the popular vote, "His support is more radical" You mean over half the country.

Almost every Harris voter I see's only argument is "she isn't trump."
Hey Andrew, been following you for a while now. Just want to say thanks for your determination and dedication to objectively reporting and asking the right questions. Many Americans would benefit from your reporting.
@@mmmmmmmmmmmmfood they weren’t a cornerstone of his campaign??? He literally talked about how messed up the government had become. How he’s going to try to make the government no longer messed up. Kamala literally only talked about how bad trump allegedly is.
@@AceOnBase1 I don't think that makes it biased? The video, from what I remember, was literally about the LOSS of KAMALA HARRIS, it's in the title itself.
My dad was 6 in 1964. I'm 30 years old. People often use the "it was 400 years ago" argument in terms of slavery. False, it started 400 years ago. Didn't end until 156 years ago, legally. Then there was sharecropping which was basically indentured servitude practically slavery which lasted well into the mid 1900s or later.
This is true but it is still difficult for people living today to feel their responsible for it just because of their color. If somebody is feeling guilty for what their ancestors did I just can't understand that. We have so much more information now and we have the ability to move forward if we can just realize it's a small subset of people that' still uphold discriminatory practices
@@carpo719 I agree which is why I disagree with reparations. My family wasn't even in the US during when slavery happened and still somewhere over in Europe. However, since I'm incredibly white and was born here, I'd be expected to "pay reparations" if something like that were to happen. I had nothing to do with it. I can't really sympathize either because we all know that slavery is wrong and I've never participated in it. It was something that happened, it was unfortunate, and you just gotta move on and realize that black people have the exact same opportunities as everyone else and I highly doubt that's going to change. The only way it would is if they continue playing victim and killing each other in droves like they do.
@@carpo719reparations is a stupid concept being pushed because people want free money. Those who actually deserved reparations are LONG gone. Nobody today is responsible for slavery and no black person calling for reparations is/was a slave, let’s move on and stop wasting time on this bullshit
@@Fwhalon reparations obviously shouldn't come in the form of "white people pay black people". really it should just be government funding into the infrastructure of poor and disenfranchised communities. Also none of this is about "feeling bad about what your ancestors did" like yeah I agree thats really fkin stupid. It's just about acknowledging that what has happened over the course of literally hundreds of years is still affecting what is going on today.. rather than magically snapping away over the past ~60 yrs
@@Fwhalon I'm of the same opinion as you, we shouldn't bring up the "sins of the father" as a thing, but I do understand where people are coming from as a lot of civil rights and post-reconstruction era nation building was essentially hijacked by anti-progressive groups. Schools in the south constantly being underfunded on purpose in order to suppress black people and prevent them from being successful were happening. I can understand reparations so as to rebuild these cities affected by these rules, schools, institutions etc., not exactly saying I support it, but I understand why it's a talking point. However I think it's more than just a black vs white thing now personally, i think politicians intentionally underfund and under-develop lots of schools, cities, etc. to keep people dumb and poor, so generally I'd support any community building, reparations or generally speaking. We have all the money and power in the world in the US and its riduculous how this is still a thing imo.

This is what happens when you lie to your citizens. Governments should be required to be straight out and honest with everything they are doing. But hey, I'm from Australia. I don't believe a word my politicians say and that's why I couldn't care less who gets to run our country because no matter what, it's not going to help me. I live in a car and want to focus on living instead of working, no political party wants people to enjoy life more then work.
@@chrisb7051 I'm not saying we don't need governments, I'm just saying that they should be open with everything they're doing and maybe let the citizens vote on things, instead of just voting for a person that lies to get elected. People controlling and speaking on behalf of a country should be 100% honest with that country. But hey I'm from Australia and we have a new law coming about misinformation and this comment might be illegal in a few months.

It continuous to amaze me how Andrew holds his interviews. The way he can take a serious topic and expand on it during his interviews by asking the correct questions and not asking certain questions to just procure a specific answer or reaction for views! He does real Mf’n journalism! He truly does his best to get an unbiased and genuine answer. I also like how he gets various views on the topic from people. And you can even tell that the people he interviews are amazed by his line of questioning and his knowledge of the subject. I’m really glad you decided to take this path and I hope to watch many more of your interviews. I wish you tons of success. Keep being a man of the people.
I understand the history and it is horrible, but continuing to push for reparations will never get you anywhere. I am a 2nd generation Irish American. My family wasn't even in the country when slavery was a thing yet im expected to pay reparations? Yeah no. Not gonna happen. If a politician runs on giving reparations i will vote the other way.
Hey @liveluckygaming, hope you’re still interested in having this conversation. reparations should be paid for not via your and my tax dollars , but by the unpaid wages of the major companies that operated in the industries that used slave Labor. Imagine how much profit a company would make by not paying 20 generations of workers? Many of the companies that were responsible still exist today. It’s not hard to imagine the staggering amount of wealth hoarding they’ve been able to continue

@@CommonSenseMechanic what's your point bud
Just wanna add some context.
It wasn’t for “whatever” reason necessarily that the federal government pulled out of the South in 1877. The election of 1876 was absurdly contested; the United States was probably close to another political fiasco at that point. To cool the tensions down (results still weren’t decided for the election and the March inauguration day was rapidly approaching) Rutherford Hayes’ followers struck a deal with Southern democrats to pull out federal troops if they just certified Hayes as the winner in a congressional group called together to decide the election. The Democrats took the deal and this resulted in the development of bigoted Southern policies as the federal government was no longer in their hair. It’s also why the man studying US history marked 1877 as the end of Reconstruction; the federal government pulled out in that year after Hayes took his position.

I really enjoyed the history portion of this episode. My daughter is learning about this period of time in her 5th grade class right now and I was happy to see that both tellings of the history (yours and the text book) aligned. I felt like the kids in her school are actually getting a solid understanding of the good and bad history of our nation, which is so important. I grew up in the south and my grandmother was there when the Little Rock 9 entered central high school. It’s incredible to look back on the complete 180 that many southerners have done since that time. While my grandmother was raised through segregation and prejudice, by the time she died, she had completely changed her perspective. Her best friend was a black woman named Kathy. They were neighbors and bonded over all of the good and bad times in their later life. They cooked for one another, watched each others grandchildren, and cared for each other through each of their own cancer diagnosis. On my grandmothers death bed, she clung to Kathy and cried. She apologized for the ignorance of her youth and asked for forgiveness for that horrible time in her past. There is a lot of good in our country - despite the bad times we have been through. I have hope for all of us - now and in the future. As one of the interviewees said- there is so much more to our nation’s history than its leaders.
Thanks for sharing that anecdote!
Thanks for sharing your grandma and Kathy's beautiful friendship ❤
This is edited and opinionated history. Black were then like they are now, violent, hateful, rat packing, attacking the old the weak, the young. They start the fights than claim to be victims just like they do today.
History is nothing but lies agreed upon. It's his story. Making the good look bad and the bad look good. The best thing you can teach your children is to question EVERYTHING!!! also take em out of public schools asap.
I'm glad that the accounts of history match. In my 4th grade elementary school history classes, we were taught that the civil war was fought over states' rights. We were taught about the war heros who fought for their home state of Virgina, like Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson, with the Emancipation Proclamation as a side note. The worst part was that our teacher herself was a black woman she just had to follow the state curriculum. It's amazing how, as little as a decade ago, we were still being brainwashed with Confederate ideologies at a young age.
Guys this is most important election of all time. That’s why we’re changing candidates 100 days before the election and running an unpopular candidate

I would respectfully disagree and add why.

Trumps idea, is that tariff will make american manufacturing "great again" but either misleads, or intentionally omits the parts where it would make the Cost of living dramatically higher in the u.s, he boasts "even 10% tariffs will bring 100s of billions of dollars" but omits that those will come out the pocket of the american consumer, not other countries.

Thank you for your journalism. Stay safe Andrew, we need you desperately in times like today. Honest reporters with guts are very few and far between these days.
I know Americans don't give a f about European stuff. But, honestly I'm over here watching all this like a dogfight or something.
Like, over here, every country has like 6-10 parties, and almost never does one party win majority. Usually multiple parties have to gang up to get the majority and run the nation. Like, until a few days ago, Germany war run by three parties - greens, socialists and liberals.
And if you think they're the same, oh no. The greens are really green, not some watered down, the socialists are actually red, and the liberals actually want to cut taxes for the rich and be all liberal about it and whatnot.
Meanwhile, the US it seems like a lot of leaded gasoline sniffing people took politics up as another sport besides American football and baseball.
And this just should not be like that. It will lead a country to ruin. Like with bombing middle east, or selling cocaine everywhere, I and most Europeans don't care what you do. But this political short circuit, or idiocracy will doom your entire nation, while the russkies still play cold war.
Keep in mind, if Ukraine has to take a pleadeal because of trump, entire russia will see you as submissive losers, and the russians will try to fuck you again, maybe in alaska, maybe through cuba, but they will. And they'll know you have a leadership that is afraid to fight, and will rather make peacedeals that hurt the US....

I grew up in the US in the 90s and thought I knew my history. I took and passed AP US history, but I was never taught about this event in school, nor did I find it in my own efforts to better learn the subject. I've feel I've again been lied to by my public education (education is not academia, to be clear).
The way racism permeated countless many things on a profound level during my childhood (and continues to, of course) never ceases to astonish and disgust me.
Do you feel that the 90s was a better or worse time for race relations and general equal opportunity on aggregate?
And if Republicans and trumptards continue to have their way no one will know about these things. They are the biggest party of censorship
Anecdotely took AP US history in 2012, and i definitely learned all this
@@TheJuryan I took it in 2003, so I'm glad to hear the curriculum has improved. I certainly knew pretty much all the circumstances around that particular event, but not the event itself.
@@Dunmerdog It's hard for me to say with much of an informed opinion because I lived in an all-white bubble in a suburban part of California (Pacific Grove, which is super expensive now). I only ever saw people of different ethnicities from a distance, and my child-brain wasn't exactly analyzing the concept.
That said, we had an annual event in my hometown that continued up until fairly recently called "The Feast of Lanterns," in which some of the all-white high school girls would be chosen to reenact a supposed Chinese story about two starcrossed lovers ending with one turning into a dragon or something.
This of course meant that it was considered completely acceptable to have a group of all-white people dress up in Chinese outfits and parade through the city, though it was argued this was homage to the Chinese railworkers who had a relatively large community in the general area.
There was (and still is) another event called "the Butterfly Parade" which is supposed to mark the arrival of the Monarch butterflies on their annual migration path. I don't remember the exact context, but I have pictures of myself in third grade wearing a Native American headdress. I think all the third-graders were supposed to dress as Indigenous peoples, since each grade had a gimmick in terms of their representation in the town parade.
I'll leave what that says about race relations in the 90s in terms of how it looked in upper-middle class suburbia to the individual reader.

What kind of loser talk is that?
You’re not alone. I should have payed attention in 8th grade, or read a book or something. Another day, another world view expanded. Love me some channel 5
It wasn't a lost opportunity, every element of Civil Rights originated from that spate of Reconstruction Amendments. Prior to the Fourteenth Amendment there were practically zero restrictions on what state governments could do to their citizens. Historians refer to Reconstruction as our second founding for a reason. While most of this took nearly a century to fully come to fruition, we would not be where we are today without the steps we took then. This era was equally if not more critical to our current formation of government than our initial founding.
What they won’t tell you is Republicans did that. Not democrats. :)

Yo, last i saw there was an Israel Lebanon interview. Where can i watch that now? Fuck censorship. Remember when the slogan was "Don't be evil"
My dad was 6 in 1964. I'm 30 years old. People often use the "it was 400 years ago" argument in terms of slavery. False, it started 400 years ago. Didn't end until 156 years ago, legally. Then there was sharecropping which was basically indentured servitude practically slavery which lasted well into the mid 1900s or later.
This is true but it is still difficult for people living today to feel their responsible for it just because of their color. If somebody is feeling guilty for what their ancestors did I just can't understand that.
We have so much more information now and we have the ability to move forward if we can just realize it's a small subset of people that' still uphold discriminatory practices
@@carpo719 I agree which is why I disagree with reparations. My family wasn't even in the US during when slavery happened and still somewhere over in Europe. However, since I'm incredibly white and was born here, I'd be expected to "pay reparations" if something like that were to happen. I had nothing to do with it. I can't really sympathize either because we all know that slavery is wrong and I've never participated in it. It was something that happened, it was unfortunate, and you just gotta move on and realize that black people have the exact same opportunities as everyone else and I highly doubt that's going to change. The only way it would is if they continue playing victim and killing each other in droves like they do.

Also none of this is about "feeling bad about what your ancestors did" like yeah I agree thats really fkin stupid. It's just about acknowledging that what has happened over the course of literally hundreds of years is still affecting what is going on today.. rather than magically snapping away over the past ~60 yrs
@@Fwhalon I'm of the same opinion as you, we shouldn't bring up the "sins of the father" as a thing, but I do understand where people are coming from as a lot of civil rights and post-reconstruction era nation building was essentially hijacked by anti-progressive groups. Schools in the south constantly being underfunded on purpose in order to suppress black people and prevent them from being successful were happening. I can understand reparations so as to rebuild these cities affected by these rules, schools, institutions etc., not exactly saying I support it, but I understand why it's a talking point.
However I think it's more than just a black vs white thing now personally, i think politicians intentionally underfund and under-develop lots of schools, cities, etc. to keep people dumb and poor, so generally I'd support any community building, reparations or generally speaking. We have all the money and power in the world in the US and its riduculous how this is still a thing imo.

@@chrisb7051 I'm not saying we don't need governments, I'm just saying that they should be open with everything they're doing and maybe let the citizens vote on things, instead of just voting for a person that lies to get elected.
People controlling and speaking on behalf of a country should be 100% honest with that country.
But hey I'm from Australia and we have a new law coming about misinformation and this comment might be illegal in a few months. So there goes our free speech, how long do you guys have left before it happens to you?
I remember being a small child and first learning that it was completely legal for politicians/pundits to outright lie on television and being extremely confused.
2:24 it is the most useless department in the government. It is literally counterproductive.
NEVER LET A GOOD CRISIS GO TO WASTE
“When was America great?” There’s the door..
Sounds like an ignorant statement from a racist. There’s the door for you as well.
@@joshuastanton6731 you are the racist
@@joshuastanton6731 your kind has always been aggressively racist too 😂 let’s look back in your peoples history to when you were sent here
@@joshuastanton6731what was ignorant or racist about that statement? Let those tears flow 😂 Trump 2024 baby
When he said that statement I think he meant while yes there are good moments we as a nation are not absolutely amazing and there are always things that can or need to be changed for the better.
people moving in one direction and the government moving in the other? then why did he win the popular vote
💯
We issued a mandate... for the people. All people.
People moving towards common sense, and away from the democratic party.
Majority of the US have racial and misogynistic biases. Also are lazy af. Capitalism consumes all things good and churns out mush
Because the large majority of people didn't vote, and didn't know what they were voting for.
@@A6Legithow is it common sense to deny climate change? How is it common sense to abandon Ukraine to the evils of Russia? How is it common sense to believe that all vaccines are evil and cause autism? How is it common sense to want to tear down democracy itself, fire all wrong thinkers from all governmental institutions, imprison political enemies, make it illegal to criticize or investigate the ruler?
Democracy is so much better than living in a dictatorship. We get TWO candidates instead of one 😃
There's green party and libertarian but you hypocrites won't vote for third parties/independents
Amen. Maybe one day we will be lucky and we won't even have to choose😂
It continuous to amaze me how Andrew holds his interviews. The way he can take a serious topic and expand on it during his interviews by asking the correct questions and not asking certain questions to just procure a specific answer or reaction for views! He does real Mf’n journalism! He truly does his best to get an unbiased and genuine answer. I also like how he gets various views on the topic from people. And you can even tell that the people he interviews are amazed by his line of questioning and his knowledge of the subject. I’m really glad you decided to take this path and I hope to watch many more of your interviews. I wish you tons of success. Keep being a man of the people.
I understand the history and it is horrible, but continuing to push for reparations will never get you anywhere. I am a 2nd generation Irish American. My family wasn't even in the country when slavery was a thing yet im expected to pay reparations? Yeah no. Not gonna happen. If a politician runs on giving reparations i will vote the other way.
Dude they were here during Jim crow like this isn't some far off history
@@KDH-br6hy So we should be responsible for reparations because they were immigrants during Jim Crow? How fucking dense are you?
@@KDH-br6hyreparations refers to slavery usually.
Hey @liveluckygaming, hope you’re still interested in having this conversation.
reparations should be paid for not via your and my tax dollars , but by the unpaid wages of the major companies that operated in the industries that used slave Labor.
Imagine how much profit a company would make by not paying 20 generations of workers? Many of the companies that were responsible still exist today. It’s not hard to imagine the staggering amount of wealth hoarding they’ve been able to continue
@ No. No one should be paying reparations at this point.
What happened to the Israel-Lebanon video?
I hope you can interview people who are against the whole US voting system. Interesting to hear opinions from the streets
They're called trump voters, but yeah.
