I have one question to not Jesse the other gentleman at wish I could ask. He said the American blacks issue compared to the African blacks was being torn away from family. I would think there's a ton of that in Africa still if it was because of slavery. The African leaders the stronger ones. Would go captured the weaker ones and sell them all over the world. So there was many families broken up in Africa just as much actually even more because not all of them came to America they were sold all over over the world. So my question would be what's the difference. Why is a continent of people that still went through the exact same thing of broken family. It did not affect them like you did the Americans I'm a little confused here what's the difference and why is there one. According to history there was more families broken up in Africa than any where else. The only thing that can come to mind is victim mentality we have that in Western countries more than anywhere on earth. I don't know that I kind of can't make sense of and wrap around my head.
Davis (guest) is an amazing person. He has changed many lives. He was on Joe rogan (how I heard about him). I would say it's a must watch. I will disagree on one thing, with what Davis said. He said africans not having a nuclear family when brought here. Is why African Americans today still have single parent homes. Why I disagree, two things that go against that. The first people in America to be used for just labor and brought in chains. Was the Irish, a decade before anyone from Africa were sold here (so the Irish would have the same out come, But they don't . And the Irish were sold to many places including South America for decades as well. ). Two African Americans were doing financially well. And had nuclear families. What changed is when the democratic party introduced welfare. Single mother rate skyrocketed after welfare (cause you got more money being single). And has only kept going up since. Also are society has changed. People now will dismiss someone rather than work on the problems at hand. A minor issue, the relationship is discarded now. Most in society think someone will be better. After multiple failures, they settle for someone less than people they didn't give a chance. But this happens years down the road. So the kids grew up in a single parent house. Or that person never finds someone and gives up. Americans rather get a new car. Then polish and restore what they have. (Modern relationship).
Slavery arose independently in every region settled by humans. Slavery existed in the Americas long before Europeans sent conquerors, not in all native cultures, but in some. Across the world, slavery was usually a way to deal with war captives. That was the original source of black slaves in the US. Black tribes captured enemies and sold them to slavers. Of course, later, other means of capture were used, also. Today we understand it is a great evil. It is impossible to go back in time and erase slavery from our history. How much stress could be eliminated from our society if we smash the boxes used for sorting people? I wish the hyphens could disappear. Maybe eventually we will have intermarried enough that this will be a quaint time remembered only in history books.
Fatherless homes are a far greater problem than systemic racism. And I speak from experience. Fatherless homes is not a problem that is exclusive to black communities. I grew up in one.
Is it the father's fault for being an unsuitable mate or the mother's for selecting an unsuitable mate? There are plenty of good black men out there, but they're seen as white washed by those same "sistas".
@@MarekzAnglii That's true but white families are right behind them. It's all by design. The purpose is to destroy the family unit. Then the state becomes the family. They are coming from both ends. How many times do we hear the government, state, teachers, say "my children". Teachers are being taught to teach children that they are the family and not the parent/parents. They are teaching children to talk to them about their problems because parents are old fashioned; they don't understand.
@@NolomEbal44560 I completely agree with you. MANY years ago, there were those that warned of this 'agenda' (I was one of them) but were dismissed and/or ridiculed as 'conspiracy theorists', some of whom have been banned from major social media sites and have had all of their videos deleted. Now we know why!!!
Before the 1960's most Black Americans were nuclear families, They had lucrative businesses too, (many were wealthier than many Whites) They were doing far better. What happened to the nuclear family? LB Johnson happened. He incentivized welfare & food stamps to only the homes without a father, perpetuating a culture of dependency. I'd say that had a lot to do with it.
Jesse got Daryl at the end. It's a simple fact that black families had one of the highest marriage rates back in the 60s and 70s, and they stayed together. If slavery caused broken families then we should have seen that back then, but we didn't. The idea it skipped a generation is nonsense.
He hit the nail on the head when he said there are racists in every ethnic group. Just because there are racists in different ethnic groups doesn't make those groups entirely racist.
That dude is saying exactly what Candice Owens gets attacked for saying. Fatherless homes is the number 1 problem. It leads to poverty, gov dependence, etc.

@@ecchimane4328 How so? What your assumption based upon? Not saying it isn't possible for some to be, but would like to know your sources and what has brought you to this conclusion.
If you havent heard of Daryl Davis you should look him up. Through conversation, communication and simply getting to know one another (some may say through love, compassion and understanding) he has convinced KKK members and some leaders of the KKK to quit the klan. He befriended them and they are still friends. When they quit, they gave Daryl their KKK garments which he has to this day. Incredible, amazing story. I have never seen or heard anything like it. I am a little suprised that Daryl's story is not spoken about more often nationwide.
can you imagine if the BLM started having internal beef? that would implode the whole thing. Plus, as much as I hate to say it, black people tend to stick together based on race and skin color, not on actions, personality, or beliefs.
@@Algorythmfpv too much money to be made. The moment someone gets greedy, and cuts out someone's share, it may implode. But it has sorta been hijacked to be a way to fund certain ideologies.

He's wrong about blaming slavery for the current state of black families in America. Thomas Sowell, who I would consider a much larger intellectual than this gentlemen, has very clearly made the case that the Welfare State has done far more damage to black family than pretty much anything else. In the decades prior to the 60's, I believe there was at one point a higher percentage of black families than white families per capita. To blame it on slavery is rather lazy IMO and I know who this guy is and have a great deal of respect for him. I just think he's wrong in this instance.
I agree. I think Thomas and others have said after slavery until the civil rights , single family house holds for black people was 15 % and now it's like 60% or something crazy. 2 parent households were higher than whites during that time. Don't quote me on the exact numbers... but it has definitely took a huge turn.
White people were ripped from families also..I believe most every nationalities have had families ripped about for slaves so why is it only the Black's that think this way? It isn't due to slavery it is due to the Democrats keeping them down with free shit
The 'Deep State' (whatever that really is) obviously is only interested in exploiting people for financial gain and WILL use anything to accomplish this with as little notice as possible. Anyone whom doesn't think the exploitation of free blacks wasn't the same as the exploitation of the Chinese workers or soon to come - Latino immigrants in the best way possible isn't paying attention. Everyone whom has helped these elites has been a lackey in one form or another - willingly or through ignorance.
Blacks retained a 78% 2 parent households until a sharp dive over 100 years later some reports suggesting only 21% full in tact households in the present day. Funny how it took so long to start hurting families....🤨 A whole century of family values shredded in a few short years...Something must have happened in the 60's. Let's try to think what....
@@kaleeb9440 iirc the numbers i saw was % of single parent household by ethnicity 1950 Caucasian - 27% Black - 15% Asian - 19% Latino - 18% 2020 White - 60% Black - 72% Asian - 38% Latino - 51% I may be off, especially on the latino and asian numbers, this is from memory, but im pretty confident in the white and black numbers, with a reasonable margin of error
The "other BLM chapters" silence is deafening during the destruction, looting, and violence. Now trying to separate the "factions" of the organization.
His answer to generational jumps in relation to broken families is weak and not satisfactory. I’m always amazed how the legend JLP can cause seemingly reasonable people to give the dumbest answers to the simplest questions! 😂
Before Covid, there used to be people who would walk on the street wearing t-shirts that said "free hugs". And they would record people giving them hugs and post the vids. I loved those vids. I hope and pray that becomes a thing again. Because we all need hugs. It's healthy.
To get up to a 70% bastard birth rate is astounding for any culture. It's a problem that started decades ago when the left decided to use black Americans as political pawns.
democrat policies have destroyed the black family. not slavery that happened 200 years ago. black women are literally paid by the government (your tax money) to not have a father or father figure around. which is also why the crime rate is so high. when these kids are craving a father figure in their lives the only place they know to go is the streets, where they are taken in by men in gangs who also didnt have fathers, so the cycle continues.
They both made good points but Jesse is right about the differences in family and cultural values between his parents and the communities today. You said it Half it all starts in the home man, absolute facts.
All I can say is if you keep looking back, you will miss out on a wonderful future!! If I let my past(not my ancestors) rule my present, I would be in a mental institution somewhere.
There were over 7750 "events" linked to BLM in 2440 locations in all 50 states. So to suggest that there are branches or factions that didn't participate seems a bit of a stretch.
The family breakdown didn't "skip" a generation. A bunch of do-gooders started Incentivizing the breakdown of the nuclear family. I believe black family's lead almost every moral category in the United States in 1950. But then things changed?
Watching the BLM riots, one of the images seered into my mind. Was a black gentleman in the middle of the road crying, asking WHY? His own people had burned down his shop he had for 30 years. Broke my heart
Wellfare state is doing the same in the UK. I know people who say they are getting 'their money' on a certain day of the month and they haven't worked an hour. They expect it, they depend on it and housing, yet don't want to work for it. No consequences for not working and the following generation end up the same. There are jobs, but they don't want them.
Research Pruitt-Igoe projects of St. Louis. That’s where they 1st tested a no Father-in the home policy as part of welfare. This majorly affected the black family most, but also all poor families two parent homes going forward.
Just stumbled upon you guys & I think you’re GREAT! I love your open minds and hearts. Not to mention how brave you are to post to the world your honest opinions. It’s sad but true, too many people out there are too afraid to do what you’re doing and say what you’re saying. Keep it up!!
Their ancestors where slaves before being bought at an African port by their black owners,so the family ties had already been forced apart by the original slavers back in Africa.
The man being interviewed is a national hero imho. He is personally responsible for a large number of KKK members turning in their Klan robes and stepping away from racism.
Great content and thanks for sharing! I enjoyed the discussion. 😁 This is something that I hear a lot. That Jesus "hung out" with lepers, prostitutes, and sinners. But Jesus didn't "hang out" with them. He interacted and engaged with them. But he told them to repent, and he told them to go forth and sin no more. That is a big difference, and I often see it mischaracterized or taken out of context.
I am glad to see you 2 growing honestly even though sometimes it’s hard. Know that many people are on this journey with you and I appreciate your outlook. They have to keep us divided. George Bush Senior supposedly once said, If they knew what we did they would hang us from the street lamps. And I believe that is the truth. All of us in America and the west have been lied to for years about everything.
I'm sat having my morning coffee addicted to your content here in UK, I love how you both click together like birds of a feather 🙏 I'm loving you call them who support you"family" thats the key to making a country unique, to bring folk together to make a community, thank you ❤
He made some points but seemed to make some excuses as well. After slavery ended the Black nuclear family percentage was the highest in the nation until the welfare state in the 60's. Look it up.
This is definitely an interesting video. Mr. Davis got me thinking, though. He mentioned not knowing your ancestors as being the reason a lot of homes are fatherless nowadays. What about people who are adopted? A good many adoptees were adopted through a closed adoption which means most, if not all, of their heritage and ancestry are hidden. Especailly, adoptions that took place before technology took over and DNA tracing of one's ancestry is still a fairly new thing. Just something to think about.
As a genx, I had to chime in😎🙏✌️ there are some of us did not sell out and turn into yuppies 😎👍 if some out there don't know the reference,, 🤔 look it up
I USED TO PUT HAIR RUBBERBANDS ON MY TEETH OR SMALL TUPPERWARE LIDS IN MY MOUTH LIKE a retainer becauae so many kids had braces and my teeth were perfectly straight.

Everyone should watch the documentary on Daryl Davis, he was able to have many Klansmen give up there robes just by sitting down and talking with them - Daryl Davis is a great man
Have to challenge the guest again at the 12:15 mark where he states that MacDonald could be traced to Ireland and Scotland because there weren't any other race slaves. There were in fact White slaves (not talking indentured servants) in the American colonies in the early to late 1600's. If you look at the colonial slave laws in Virginia from the 17th century you'll find they broke down the differences between indentured and slaves, then further breaking down the slaves... Negro (Black), Native American Indian (Red), non-Christian heathens, idolaters and Pagans (White European Celtic and Balkan), and those with parentage or Country from Mahometan (Barbary Coast of North Africa). Also, years ago while researching my family genealogy I was reading some old PA newspapers that had been converted to MicroFish, and it stated so-n-so's German slave had run away. Further proof there are professors here in the USA certified by the Gov't able to teach history that come to this conclusion. Here's a link to the colonial slave laws. teachingamericanhistory.org/document/colonial-virginia-laws-related-to-slavery/
I would have to say I think that The Welfare Act has cause more issues with the family unit than slavery did. Even though slaves were split from your family, you still had family values and wanted to have a family! Now the welfare act pays you more money if the the father isn't around than if he is!
Yall really should look at his guests story too, dude spent like 20 years hanging out with Klansmen and leading them away from it. Daryl something, can't remember his last name.
When I study the protests and see the demographics of the crowd BLM is majority people of European ancestry. Some protest crowds were 70-plus percent people of European ancestry.
When you as an individual or group. Do absolutely nothing but blame one certain race. Or group or institution for all your problems. You are the problem you are facing. Until you can take responsibility for your own house. Don't be blaming everyone else. Cause you are only failing yourself and your family. Truth is a very big, hard pill to swallow. When you are living a lie and aren't responsible enough to be an adult and have the courage to fix the problem. It's so much easier to blame it all on someone else. I've seen kindergarten classes be more responsible, and they don't even know what that word means!!
@Flargindargin "CAN" being the pivot point for action . Poor people have pride , and manners and a sense of right or wrong actions. I grew up poor. I didn't realize we were until I got older. My mother used to say," Just because we are poor doesn' t mean we have to look, sound, dress , or act like it. She was on me to "announciate" my words. We learned how to take care of our things... like our clothes. I know adults that have not a clue how to hand wash delicate sweaters and such...ir how to iron,, how to cook from scratch, hiw to sew and mend things. I passed those old fashioned skills and manners to my 5 girls And they taught me computers and such. I sY this because being drim.the "wrong side of the tracks" and stuttering I git made fun if a lot . I grew of of that...p but just because someone s income is low , or like now , on social security anx im considered in the poverty level, does not mean people just routinely break the law. I agree with you about tempted . I did decades ago and when I left home at 1y in 1974, steal some food from a grocery store because I wS hungry. It was wrong. These days I thank God for foid banks to help ends meet. You know baclsic manners also never go out of style...I wish the necmxt thing trending would be....and increase of basic manners and courtesy for each other. peAce~
It truly saddens me to acknowledge what the Democrat party has done to this nation! Planned Parenthood, the Welfare system, etc. These government programs have DECIMATED not just Black families, but all families in this nation!
Appreciate you Half and Jai. You keep it real. I am WM Conservative in my 60s. Please listen to Thomas Sowell, Walter Williams, Candace Owens, Brandon Tatum.
Nope disagree on the marraige thing , for about 100 years the rate of black people being married and staying married was better than white people. It started falling apart in 1970s .
Darrell is a truly amazing human being. Please check out his TedTalk about him and the KKK. I hope before I die, I see a good, quality made about his life. That would bring me such joy. He is a true inspiration and exactly what we need right now. If I were the President, Iwould absolutely have him in my administration. That is how important he is, in my opinion.
05/29/23, It really depends on how you were raised... I'm 81 yrs old and white - my childhood friends were Jerome and Douglas NOT colored or white. My (mixed) neighborhood were PEOPLE... NOT black or white. I am NOT racist but race-ism will always be until WE stop the hate and become PEOPLE. Slavery was a long time ago. Everybody paid the price and now is a time to move on, and become PEOPLE. There's MONEY in racism and radicalism. That's where the fight should be..
I think instead of giving off the victim vibe, we should be celebrating all those who fought to end the atrocities. Everything that has happened in history, be it good or bad, it has brought us all here now today. Living in the land of the free and the home of the Brave. Let's talk about coming together as Americans and stop with the minority status. Lack of patriotism is the problem. God bless America 🇺🇸✌️🇺🇲
Its also attention. There's an extreme case of this on a series that came out a while back called " seven deadly sins". This boy grew up sneaking around towns close by using a wheelchair because he envies the attention of crippled kids. He grew up and stuck with it.Good thing you knew better lol.
2:42 Leave it to JLP to ruffle feathers from the get go!!! I like some of what he has to say but he usually goes WAYYYY overboard!!! Al Sharpton's alter ego!!! LOL
Not having a 2 parents in a home has nothing to do with the history of slavery. Back when it was more shameful to have a child out of wedlock or to be a single parent. But it became more acceptable in the 60's, 70's etc. Then welfare happened, food stamps, section 8 housing and the men and women realized they didn't have to stay together and the kids would be taken care of by the gov't. That took all responsibility off the parents shoulders. Children being raised in a household of children of different fathers was becoming even more acceptable and children grew thinking this was the norm. Welfare, foodstamps and all other handouts are in place to hold people back from ever standing on their on two feet. When you have a gov't controlling your income to survive everyday, you are no longer free. It's another form of slavery, one that people are willing to be part of.
There’s no use for the KKK anymore. I live in South Carolina, and I’ve never knowingly been around anyone who thinks that way. I’m sure they’re still out there, but they’re not loud and proud like some people want you to think.
They do it, family, because it is far easier, to take the easy way out, than it is to put your nose to the grindstone, and keep fighting the GOOD fight, on the hard road, and it's easier to hurt others, being selfish with the "what's in it for me" mentality, than to try and bring others up with you. This does NOT apply to just one color of person! We may be different colors, but WE ARE ALL ONE RACE-THE HUMAN RACE!!!!!!
Jai that just means you pulled for the underdog! That makes me more of an admirer of you . And I love Jessie. He's a dang trip ! I love his truthfulness and his straight up'ness 😂.just like Trump!
Daryl, and Jesse are both great men, they both shine in different ways. Awesome idea to get them both together talking... You gotta check out Daryl, he has many many layers. Quite the man. Like the kinda guy who should have book written about him. Actually I think he's written a book or two?
When you focus on race, the opposite thing happens. You create a greater divide among people of different ethnicities. When you don't focus on race, from an education perspective but just teach kids how to love each other, children grow up and race ain't even a thing. The tactics America is using to supposedly "heal" racial divide is only making the divide bigger. They don't give us, citizens, the benefit of the doubt that we are capable of learning how to love each other regardless of race... I give an example. The affirmative action that colleges use to create racial diversity in college. One of the goals of affirmative action is give black people the advantage for school admissions. Think about it, why not just give affirmative action to all races living in the hood? Help the poor, rather than target a specific race? My best friend is black. He got a 1590 on his SAT and got into Princeton University full scholarship. It hurts me a lot (because I know how he feels), when people meet him and assume he got into the best college in America due to affirmative action... No. He got in because he's an incredible individual and he is a genius. There are super smart and dumb people in every race. And smart black people not living in the hood but in good suburbs do NOT need affirmative action. It degrades their achievement in the most disrespectful way...
The first United States slave owner was Black and his name was Anthony Johnson. However the oldest known slave traders was Mesopotamian which is Iran/Iraq. It originated in 6,000 to 2000 BCE.
Darryl Davis is a really interesting person. He’s a musician and has befriended and pulled people away from white supremacist ideologies like the KKK. He has a collection of KKK robes from people who have left that ideology. He did a couple of great interviews with Joe Rogan and you should really go down the rabbit hole on Darryl
No my dear girl you were not a weird child. In fact a very normal one. Look at the Shriner children happy as anyone could be even with their tragic circumstances. I love them. But does this affect the mindset of happiness in let's say normally healthy children? Just wondering.
I don’t they collected all that money for the black community and then spent on one house Did not spend it on the black community where did the money go cover them up for them this guys cover him up for them. Follow the money.
When money comes in people start biting the hand and just like taxes and racist , everyone needs to improve things so everyone of every color ends up with a better life, goes around comes around.
I can't remember the guy in the purple shirts name but his story is crazy. He's had grandmasters of the kkk quit and give him their robes and all of their stuff after taking to him.
I call bs... most Americans can't name their family lineage past the 1900's. I know that my family came over as indentured servants from Ireland and Scotland. But I can't tell you their names. Does that mean I can't succeed? Stay out of jail? Avoid drugs and alcohol abuse? No. I refuse to blame my faults on anybody or anything but me...
"it's not centralized".... Yeah-because the HQ is stealing all the money and not giving it to the black community. So of course it's not centralized 😂😂
This guy at the beginning starts by saying "BLM is not an organization because their is no headquarters just a bunch of different chapters that follow a set of rules from the headquarters" 😂 what a 🤡

Same thoughts I’ve always had since childhood: Only racists are concerned about racisms.

As an American I feel no responsibility as to slavery. Those that want reparations need to start in Africa
Barbary pirates over 400 years of slavery of Europeans (the other white people) in North Africa, the Med, Southern Europe, etc.

@@ecchimane4328 How so? What your assumption based upon? Not saying it isn't possible for some to be, but would like to know your sources and what has brought you to this conclusion.
If you havent heard of Daryl Davis you should look him up. Through conversation, communication and simply getting to know one another (some may say through love, compassion and understanding) he has convinced KKK members and some leaders of the KKK to quit the klan. He befriended them and they are still friends. When they quit, they gave Daryl their KKK garments which he has to this day. Incredible, amazing story. I have never seen or heard anything like it. I am a little suprised that Daryl's story is not spoken about more often nationwide.
Then why are the other "chapters" of BLM not opposing the destruction or looting? Sounds like the deterring of accountability.
can you imagine if the BLM started having internal beef? that would implode the whole thing. Plus, as much as I hate to say it, black people tend to stick together based on race and skin color, not on actions, personality, or beliefs.
@@Algorythmfpv the media already tried to bring them out in New York, but it didn't go the way they wanted. BLM is dead

What happened to blm money 💰 🤣
@@Algorythmfpv too much money to be made. The moment someone gets greedy, and cuts out someone's share, it may implode.

He's wrong about blaming slavery for the current state of black families in America. Thomas Sowell, who I would consider a much larger intellectual than this gentlemen, has very clearly made the case that the Welfare State has done far more damage to black family than pretty much anything else. In the decades prior to the 60's, I believe there was at one point a higher percentage of black families than white families per capita. To blame it on slavery is rather lazy IMO and I know who this guy is and have a great deal of respect for him. I just think he's wrong in this instance.
I agree. I think Thomas and others have said after slavery until the civil rights , single family house holds for black people was 15 % and now it's like 60% or something crazy. 2 parent households were higher than whites during that time. Don't quote me on the exact numbers... but it has definitely took a huge turn.
White people were ripped from families also..I believe most every nationalities have had families ripped about for slaves so why is it only the Black's that think this way? It isn't due to slavery it is due to the Democrats keeping them down with free shit
The 'Deep State' (whatever that really is) obviously is only interested in exploiting people for financial gain and WILL use anything to accomplish this with as little notice as possible. Anyone whom doesn't think the exploitation of free blacks wasn't the same as the exploitation of the Chinese workers or soon to come - Latino immigrants in the best way possible isn't paying attention. Everyone whom has helped these elites has been a lackey in one form or another - willingly or through ignorance.
Blacks retained a 78% 2 parent households until a sharp dive over 100 years later some reports suggesting only 21% full in tact households in the present day. Funny how it took so long to start hurting families....🤨 A whole century of family values shredded in a few short years...Something must have happened in the 60's. Let's try to think what....
@@kaleeb9440 iirc the numbers i saw was
% of single parent household by ethnicity
1950
Caucasian - 27%
Black - 15%
Asian - 19%
Latino - 18%
2020
White - 60%
Black - 72%
Asian - 38%
Latino - 51%
I may be off, especially on the latino and asian numbers, this is from memory, but im pretty confident in the white and black numbers, with a reasonable margin of error
The "other BLM chapters" silence is deafening during the destruction, looting, and violence. Now trying to separate the "factions" of the organization.
how can there be chapters if there isnt a headquarters? who decides whats a chapter and whats just 3 angry black women?
@@ripvanwinkle2002 They also claim to not be an organization. I'm pretty sure there are less tax ramifications and financial documentation that way.
I love you 2 for having an open analytical mind. You see it as few others do. I appreciate you both
His answer to generational jumps in relation to broken families is weak and not satisfactory.
I’m always amazed how the legend JLP can cause seemingly reasonable people to give the dumbest answers to the simplest questions! 😂
Before Covid, there used to be people who would walk on the street wearing t-shirts that said "free hugs". And they would record people giving them hugs and post the vids. I loved those vids. I hope and pray that becomes a thing again. Because we all need hugs. It's healthy.
The black community used to have a strong nuclear family. Saying it just skipped a generation is an absurd answer. The question is why.
To get up to a 70% bastard birth rate is astounding for any culture. It's a problem that started decades ago when the left decided to use black Americans as political pawns.
democrat policies have destroyed the black family. not slavery that happened 200 years ago. black women are literally paid by the government (your tax money) to not have a father or father figure around. which is also why the crime rate is so high. when these kids are craving a father figure in their lives the only place they know to go is the streets, where they are taken in by men in gangs who also didnt have fathers, so the cycle continues.
They both made good points but Jesse is right about the differences in family and cultural values between his parents and the communities today. You said it Half it all starts in the home man, absolute facts.
I am an old white man from Brazil living in the USA for 50 years. I love everybody, but specially the two of you. God bless you. Cheers.
All I can say is if you keep looking back, you will miss out on a wonderful future!! If I let my past(not my ancestors) rule my present, I would be in a mental institution somewhere.
There were over 7750 "events" linked to BLM in 2440 locations in all 50 states. So to suggest that there are branches or factions that didn't participate seems a bit of a stretch.
God Bless these 2 men and the both of you. I love you guys! I'm so happy we came together as people!
I never thought black lives didn’t matter nor did 99 percent of the souls I have encountered. It’s a sham
The family breakdown didn't "skip" a generation. A bunch of do-gooders started Incentivizing the breakdown of the nuclear family. I believe black family's lead almost every moral category in the United States in 1950. But then things changed?
Watching the BLM riots, one of the images seered into my mind. Was a black gentleman in the middle of the road crying, asking WHY? His own people had burned down his shop he had for 30 years. Broke my heart
Wellfare state is doing the same in the UK. I know people who say they are getting 'their money' on a certain day of the month and they haven't worked an hour. They expect it, they depend on it and housing, yet don't want to work for it. No consequences for not working and the following generation end up the same. There are jobs, but they don't want them.
Research Pruitt-Igoe projects of St. Louis. That’s where they 1st tested a no Father-in the home policy as part of welfare. This majorly affected the black family most, but also all poor families two parent homes going forward.
Just stumbled upon you guys & I think you’re GREAT! I love your open minds and hearts. Not to mention how brave you are to post to the world your honest opinions. It’s sad but true, too many people out there are too afraid to do what you’re doing and say what you’re saying. Keep it up!!
Congratulations on using the right forms of your and you're, so many don't, so much for English class lol
Their ancestors where slaves before being bought at an African port by their black owners,so the family ties had already been forced apart by the original slavers back in Africa.
The man being interviewed is a national hero imho. He is personally responsible for a large number of KKK members turning in their Klan robes and stepping away from racism.
The irony of him becoming a raging racist is lost on him and well as people who refuse to see it.
@@johnathon007 - WTF ??? Please enlighten us. Don't just throw out an accusation like that and not subtantiate it. Not cool.
Great content and thanks for sharing! I enjoyed the discussion. 😁
This is something that I hear a lot. That Jesus "hung out" with lepers, prostitutes, and sinners. But Jesus didn't "hang out" with them. He interacted and engaged with them. But he told them to repent, and he told them to go forth and sin no more. That is a big difference, and I often see it mischaracterized or taken out of context.
What about the kid in human sex trafficking do you consider that slavery? that is multiple nationalities not just black. Don’t forget about the kids.
The guy Jessie was interviewing is a man that became friends with KKK members and then those KKK members quit the KKK. It's an interesting story
Jai was a weird kid? Never would have guessed! 😂 Love you guys!
No not weird. Most kids envy those things I don’t know why but they do. Just a part of growing up for some. Oh sweet youth .
@@robinpesek3657yes we see it happening now with this huge increase in gender confusion
I am glad to see you 2 growing honestly even though sometimes it’s hard. Know that many people are on this journey with you and I appreciate your outlook. They have to keep us divided. George Bush Senior supposedly once said, If they knew what we did they would hang us from the street lamps. And I believe that is the truth. All of us in America and the west have been lied to for years about everything.
I'm sat having my morning coffee addicted to your content here in UK, I love how you both click together like birds of a feather 🙏 I'm loving you call them who support you"family" thats the key to making a country unique, to bring folk together to make a community, thank you ❤
Ass kisser 💋
I was a weird child too, you are not alone. LoL
I used to want braces sooooo bad, but the only reason was to have the colorful rubber band things on them😅
Never needed them though🤷♀️
The reason the family broke down was because of welfare kicking out the father
He made some points but seemed to make some excuses as well. After slavery ended the Black nuclear family percentage was the highest in the nation until the welfare state in the 60's. Look it up.
One of the biggest problems is no fathers in the home
Remember...it was a dominant black tribe the (Masi) that rounded up weaker tribes and sold them into slavery. So, reparations should be paid by them.
Mr. Davis has been able to cross racial barriers that most people won’t ever accomplish. He is a very unique person and gift to all of us.
He's has done some good stuff. But he was on Timcastirl, and spouted a whole bunch of racist nonsense. 🙄
@@jasoncar1469 Say it ain’t so!
@Jason Car Thanks...I will watc. h that. I like it when people give a source to follow up with.
You need to find more of Mr Davis interviews. He met with the kkk and changed some of their minds. He is wonderful!!
Jesus sat with the sinners and told them to go forth and SIN NO MORE!
And..........? You might as well have written 'Snow white told her wicked stepmother to go away and sin no more."
This is definitely an interesting video. Mr. Davis got me thinking, though. He mentioned not knowing your ancestors as being the reason a lot of homes are fatherless nowadays. What about people who are adopted? A good many adoptees were adopted through a closed adoption which means most, if not all, of their heritage and ancestry are hidden. Especailly, adoptions that took place before technology took over and DNA tracing of one's ancestry is still a fairly new thing. Just something to think about.
It skipped a generation like Diabetes? More than half a century of life and that is the stupidest thing i've ever heard.
I've had more casts than I can count, growing up, and didn't want a single one! 🤣
As a genx, I had to chime in😎🙏✌️ there are some of us did not sell out and turn into yuppies 😎👍 if some out there don't know the reference,, 🤔 look it up
Part of the problem may relate to the current technology. The media has an input
I USED TO PUT HAIR RUBBERBANDS ON MY TEETH OR SMALL TUPPERWARE LIDS IN MY MOUTH LIKE a retainer becauae so many kids had braces and my teeth were perfectly straight. My little sister took it as far as failing her eye exam on purpose to get glasses and now she HAS to wear them. No you were not the only one hahaha memories 😂❤

Everyone should watch the documentary on Daryl Davis, he was able to have many Klansmen give up there robes just by sitting down and talking with them - Daryl Davis is a great man
Have to challenge the guest again at the 12:15 mark where he states that MacDonald could be traced to Ireland and Scotland because there weren't any other race slaves. There were in fact White slaves (not talking indentured servants) in the American colonies in the early to late 1600's. If you look at the colonial slave laws in Virginia from the 17th century you'll find they broke down the differences between indentured and slaves, then further breaking down the slaves... Negro (Black), Native American Indian (Red), non-Christian heathens, idolaters and Pagans (White European Celtic and Balkan), and those with parentage or Country from Mahometan (Barbary Coast of North Africa). Also, years ago while researching my family genealogy I was reading some old PA newspapers that had been converted to MicroFish, and it stated so-n-so's German slave had run away. Further proof there are professors here in the USA certified by the Gov't able to teach history that come to this conclusion. Here's a link to the colonial slave laws. teachingamericanhistory.org/document/colonial-virginia-laws-related-to-slavery/
I bet that German slave was referring to a Slav from the Balkans of Europe
Indeed. There were Slavic slaves in North Africa before any African landed on this land.
@@franbreedlove9392 Indeed there were White slaves in North Africa, and on this land.
I would have to say I think that The Welfare Act has cause more issues with the family unit than slavery did. Even though slaves were split from your family, you still had family values and wanted to have a family! Now the welfare act pays you more money if the the father isn't around than if he is!
Yall really should look at his guests story too, dude spent like 20 years hanging out with Klansmen and leading them away from it. Daryl something, can't remember his last name.
Why haven't they put all that $$ back into hurting communities?? Rather than allowing making more hurting communites!
Most people forget that purpose meant if you didnt work u didnt eat
When I study the protests and see the demographics of the crowd BLM is majority people of European ancestry. Some protest crowds were 70-plus percent people of European ancestry.
Wrong, before starting welfare, blacks had very strong nuclear families. So that guy blaming slavery is BS.
It skipped generations to those that never experienced it or did the TV tell them? I question it all since they have lied about so much. Interesting.
Great couple..awesome too see, Big Ups family. Keep Grinding, Keep Striving.
When you as an individual or group. Do absolutely nothing but blame one certain race. Or group or institution for all your problems. You are the problem you are facing. Until you can take responsibility for your own house. Don't be blaming everyone else. Cause you are only failing yourself and your family. Truth is a very big, hard pill to swallow. When you are living a lie and aren't responsible enough to be an adult and have the courage to fix the problem. It's so much easier to blame it all on someone else. I've seen kindergarten classes be more responsible, and they don't even know what that word means!!
I agree but I say all that like this: 'Life is Competition'.
Poverty can shift what is "morally" acceptable to an individual.
@Flargindargin
"CAN" being the pivot point for action . Poor people have pride , and manners and a sense of right or wrong actions. I grew up poor. I didn't realize we were until I got older. My mother used to say," Just because we are poor doesn' t mean we have to look, sound, dress , or act like it. She was on me to "announciate" my words. We learned how to take care of our things... like our clothes. I know adults that have not a clue how to hand wash delicate sweaters and such...ir how to iron,, how to cook from scratch, hiw to sew and mend things. I passed those old fashioned skills and manners to my 5 girls And they taught me computers and such. I sY this because being drim.the "wrong side of the tracks" and stuttering I git made fun if a lot . I grew of of that...p
but just because someone s income is low , or like now , on social security anx im considered in the poverty level, does not mean people just routinely break the law. I agree with you about tempted . I did decades ago and when I left home at 1y in 1974, steal some food from a grocery store because I wS hungry. It was wrong. These days I thank God for foid banks to help ends meet. You know baclsic manners also never go out of style...I wish the necmxt thing trending would be....and increase of basic manners and courtesy for each other.

It truly saddens me to acknowledge what the Democrat party has done to this nation! Planned Parenthood, the Welfare system, etc. These government programs have DECIMATED not just Black families, but all families in this nation!
The degenerate and criminal behavior has absolutely nothing to do with slavery which ended 150 years ago
Great video thanks for sharing, a lot of great points were made and addressed during this video.

@@ecchimane4328 Maybe you are right. Maybe Real Black people dont value liberty, stable society, and human dignity.
Nope disagree on the marraige thing , for about 100 years the rate of black people being married and staying married was better than white people. It started falling apart in 1970s .

Darrell is a truly amazing human being. Please check out his TedTalk about him and the KKK. I hope before I die, I see a good, quality made about his life. That would bring me such joy. He is a true inspiration and exactly what we need right now. If I were the President, Iwould absolutely have him in my administration. That is how important he is, in my opinion.
05/29/23, It really depends on how you were raised... I'm 81 yrs old and white - my childhood friends were Jerome and Douglas NOT colored or white. My (mixed) neighborhood were PEOPLE... NOT black or white.
I am NOT racist but race-ism will always be until WE stop the hate and become PEOPLE. Slavery was a long time ago. Everybody paid the price and now is a time to move on, and become PEOPLE.
There's MONEY in racism and radicalism. That's where the fight should be..
I think instead of giving off the victim vibe, we should be celebrating all those who fought to end the atrocities. Everything that has happened in history, be it good or bad, it has brought us all here now today.

Not having a 2 parents in a home has nothing to do with the history of slavery. Back when it was more shameful to have a child out of wedlock or to be a single parent. But it became more acceptable in the 60's, 70's etc. Then welfare happened, food stamps, section 8 housing and the men and women realized they didn't have to stay together and the kids would be taken care of by the gov't. That took all responsibility off the parents shoulders. Children being raised in a household of children of different fathers was becoming even more acceptable and children grew thinking this was the norm. Welfare, foodstamps and all other handouts are in place to hold people back from ever standing on their on two feet. When you have a gov't controlling your income to survive everyday, you are no longer free. It's another form of slavery, one that people are willing to be part of.
There’s no use for the KKK anymore. I live in South Carolina, and I’ve never knowingly been around anyone who thinks that way. I’m sure they’re still out there, but they’re not loud and proud like some people want you to think.
They do it, family, because it is far easier, to take the easy way out, than it is to put your nose to the grindstone, and keep fighting the GOOD fight, on the hard road, and it's easier to hurt others, being selfish with the "what's in it for me" mentality, than to try and bring others up with you. This does NOT apply to just one color of person! We may be different colors, but WE ARE ALL ONE RACE-THE HUMAN RACE!!!!!!
Thought -- WHY are LEGAL immigrants from Ghana the 2nd highest average incomes in the USA?

I faked an eye test in the 70’s as a teen to get glasses! 😂
When you focus on race, the opposite thing happens. You create a greater divide among people of different ethnicities. When you don't focus on race, from an education perspective but just teach kids how to love each other, children grow up and race ain't even a thing. The tactics America is using to supposedly "heal" racial divide is only making the divide bigger. They don't give us, citizens, the benefit of the doubt that we are capable of learning how to love each other regardless of race... I give an example. The affirmative action that colleges use to create racial diversity in college. One of the goals of affirmative action is give black people the advantage for school admissions. Think about it, why not just give affirmative action to all races living in the hood? Help the poor, rather than target a specific race? My best friend is black. He got a 1590 on his SAT and got into Princeton University full scholarship. It hurts me a lot (because I know how he feels), when people meet him and assume he got into the best college in America due to affirmative action... No. He got in because he's an incredible individual and he is a genius. There are super smart and dumb people in every race. And smart black people not living in the hood but in good suburbs do NOT need affirmative action. It degrades their achievement in the most disrespectful way...
The first United States slave owner was Black and his name was Anthony Johnson. However the oldest known slave traders was Mesopotamian which is Iran/Iraq. It originated in 6,000 to 2000 BCE.
Darryl Davis is a really interesting person. He’s a musician and has befriended and pulled people away from white supremacist ideologies like the KKK. He has a collection of KKK robes from people who have left that ideology. He did a couple of great interviews with Joe Rogan and you should really go down the rabbit hole on Darryl
No my dear girl you were not a weird child. In fact a very normal one. Look at the Shriner children happy as anyone could be even with their tragic circumstances. I love them. But does this affect the mindset of happiness in let's say normally healthy children? Just wondering.
I don’t they collected all that money for the black community and then spent on one house Did not spend it on the black community where did the money go cover them up for them this guys cover him up for them. Follow the money.
The money thing - I have yet to decide if that was intended before the start, or like a magic lamp falling in their laps afterwards.

Well if BLM is not an organization, then neither are the hells angles MC, which ive said all along. they only have chapters, all independently run.
As a former member of the 1% community they all have national leadership. BLM is an organization with chapters just the same way
