Every time Obama says a single phrase, it reminds me that a politician/American CAN speak with intelligence and eloquence.
He's completely bullshitting you kiddo.
Now if only Obama accomplished something positive in his 8 years of Presidency outside race division.
If you ignore rump and his ilk, many still do.
LOL the guy is a corrupt racist

The fact that a former Democrat mayor and a current Republican congressman could sit in an interview and basically say the same thing about the same topic without resorting to name calling and arguing shows that peaceful discussions can be had between politicians with opposing views.
That's what happens when there's a mutual understanding and not seeking "gotcha moments".
Wrong again. 😮
Or that they’re working together behind closed doors.
Yes, exactly. And this would be how we change things.
*Peaceful discussions were had between politicians with opposing views until TRUMP* & the Far-Right Republicans took over the Republican Party.
Uncle Tim is the exception. His story is a 1 in a million. He was lucky to be in the right place at the right time.

Which can change at any time.
Right! It's like he won the negro lottery and out here promoting the lie that everyone can win the lottery.
Just admit it. You can't handle an independent black person who strays off the Dem plantation. Racist much?
So you’re saying he just got lucky? Had nothing to do with his brains or work ethic? It’s a good thing that there are still democrats like you to care for “these people” because they aren’t able to do it on their own. Democrat party hasn’t changed much in the past 150 yrs.
Tim Scott is something else… his worldview is actually dangerous
Your groomer view is dangerous to children.
perhaps you can explain your support for the party of corruption, slavery and treason? The only political party that's had 19 of its members expelled from Congress, 3 for corruption and 16 for treason. The party of the Klan. The party of Jim Crow laws. The party that unanimously voted against the 15th Amendment. The party of raging racists like Wallace, Johnson, Duke and Byrd. The party that now embraces communism but hides behind the socialist veil while attempting to change the laws that prevent them from coming out of the closet. (California Assembly Bill AB22 - 2017)
While you're explaining yourself, perhaps you can find the missing evidence of a flip.
Your party started a war that killed over 630,000 Americans, just to preserve their right to own other human beings.
You have to be feeble-minded or morally corrupt to vote democrat.
Which one are you?
@@glenburrows7162Agreed.
@ToddToure Why, because he's black, thinks for himself, and doesn't belong to the party that owned all the slaves?
Obama watched Russia take Crimea from Ukraine after telling Russia we can be "flexible" with our missile defense. Then watched Russia set up bases in Syria after Syria crossed Obama's "red line" by gassing their own people and Obama did nothing. Obama released billions to Iran (Russia's ally) after Iran paid the Taliban for U.S. troops bounties as reported by NBC on Sep 5th, 2010 and attempted to give them access to our banking systems to circumvent sanctions after greatly expanding domestic spying via the NSA and gave guns to cartels 😂
I like my presidents well spoken, kind to others and knowledgeable of all the diversity we have in this great country.
Kind to others? The guy bombed seven countries non stop for eight years. Women and children lived in fear during his two terms. I'm going make a bet you don't know who Zubair Rehman is.

@@jankwartel1860 Yeah. God save the queen.
Laughingstock all right.
Remember the more normal times when Obama's biggest controversies were when he ordered dijon mustard and wore a tan suit?
Also when he didn’t salute a soldier …
Solyndra? 500 million dollars went missing? Remember that?
So now it’s 5 scandals per day on the twice impeach joke
Yeah dude not creating a slave trade in Libya or invading Syria..... the tan suit.
I thought the biggest controversy had to do with Mike having a bigger jock cup than Barack.
I like how Fox News, Brian Kilmeade in particular, is now saying that Barack Obama’s words were unconscionable, when what Obama said had more facts than emotion attached.
First whatever you are calling facts are nothing but bull sh*t, Here is the real Obama And I very politely state that Obama has been full of sh*t and lies from the moment he started talking about being president this is a man that believed it would be okay to allow a baby that lived through an abortion to be wrapped in a blanket and allowed to starve to death in a closet. “When he was in the Illinois state Senate, Barack Obama voted to deny basic Constitutional protections for babies born alive from an abortion - not once, but four times. This man is way to evil to be allowed to speak to anyone else's character and if you support this position you are as well just as evil.
Racists will always think talking about the real problems we have, is ‘unconscionable’. They benefit from the silencing of voices
Fox news hosts will criticize President Obama no matter what he says.
Kilmeade is uneducated & illiterate, it's not surprising that he lacks basic comprehension skills
Obama is full of it. He did nothing for us but divide us. Now he talks of poverty and he was one of the ones that help us stay there. The cities with major poverty for the minorities are run by Democrats. When fathers leave the families it creates real problem with minorities and as a hold.
Scott is portraying willful ignorance.
Scott is 100% brighter than Obama.
Americans on left are generally arrogant and ignorant!
Biden’s isn’t willful
He's doing what white people want him to do and white people will give everything they got for a lie
Tim scott is real, obama is a fake black man
I'm from Syracuse, NY & this man is absolutely right when speaking on the poverty there...

I’m from the area and don’t find Syracuse exceptionally racist. I’ve been places worse and better, so ‘Cuse doesn’t have Ben hit the radar.
Everytime I hear Obama speak, I'm damn near in tears over the fact how far backwards we've gone when it comes to our political leadership and intelligence. His perfect bipartisan perspective on this subject is such a breath of fresh air and reminds me how much I miss him so dearly as our president.

These ae serious issues, but I'd like to point out that Native Americans actually fare worse in terms of income, savings, overall poverty, access to education, access to food, housing, health, etc. For just about any metric used the Native Americans come out on the bottom rung.
This is in no way to make light of the very real challenges that Black Americans face, but it always kind of bothers me when newscasters and others forget that there are racial and ethnic groups in the US that are systematically worse off, and by a lot.
There needs to be more awareness of these issues across the board.

A few years ago, the marketing director of a company I worked at was asked to visit one of our customers in a small town in Georgia. He made a comment about how he hated going there, because it always made him fear for his life. Someone asked him if the traffic was that bad, and he replied that it wasn't the traffic that scared him, it was being a black man driving a nice rental car through the backwoods of Georgia that scared him. So yeah, there's still a fair bit of work that needs to be done here in America. :(

True leaders don't call you a racist when you don't have their same views
I loved him at the time. I've since thought he didn't do well in foreign relations: Syria, the first Ukraine invasion in 2014, and so on. He also was mostly honest but made one huge lie about Obamacare: "if you like your policy, you can keep it." He knew that wasn't true. He should have sold ACA saying: we're going to be giving 30M fellow citizens coverage, which isn't going to be free. Some costs will go up, but it's going to be worth it knowing our fellow citizens aren't dying of preventable deaths, suffering from curable diseases. And by having everyone insured, we're also going to be making things more efficient, so while it's going to cost, it's not going to cost anywhere near as much as you might think.
Oh man do I miss President Obama. Didn't always agree with him on policy but he was such a voice of reason.
Barack is a tic.
High school?
He says pretty words 😂
I’m starting to get it now. Liberals like someone who can talk a good game, but not deliver a good game. I have finally figured it out!
He gave a good speech but that was it. Everything else was BS.
This was the most honest discussion on all the aspects of the disparities between the races. Joe Pinion really impressed me with his point of view. This is how we will move forward on this difficult sensitive topic. Honesty and taking personal responsibility.
Yeah, because white and black are the only two races America.

3:10 It never once crossed my mind that the term "systemic racism" implied that America was "irredeemably racist". The only thing it implies to me is that these systems must be changed. And for anyone who has wondered how it was that America came to have a for-profit healthcare system, I had a "duh"-smack-the-forehead moment when I learned it was systemic racism, the perfect example of how it hurts everyone.
Yeah, good catch. He picked that word purposefully. The word implies no hope for change, whatsoever, which is the self-sustaining fuel for opposition laws like Florida's Stop Woke Act. No one said America is "irredeemably racist." However, IMO, America is willingly racist, because a lot of people benefit from it, at the detriment of others. And this cuts both ways -- The disadvantaged can game the system, too. I think, it is human nature for those who benefit to see no need to change and would be willing to fight to maintain those benefits, even if it requires the suffering of others. By making "them" nothing like "us," doing what is "necessary" become justifiable, while easing any misgivings. That is why the true teachings of Jesus are so counterintuitive: Putting the needs of others, before my own, doesn't help me be better than you. But the thing is -- It's not about me and my selfishness, and that is the part people don't get or refuse to let go of.
@@gregoryt1139 It's kind of tricky to "game a system" that you've been locked out of. In the case of healthcare, the racism extended to a heinous degree, and it's still there. Only one of multiple racist issues was the white-perpetuated myth that black people have a higher tolerance for pain than the oh so delicate whites. The opiod crisis is perhaps the one time the racism worked in favor of blacks.
I wasn't trying to catch the guy on anything, and I don't feel he "purposefully" picked any word. I just don't know where he got that impression. The comments I've mostly seen about systemic racism are whites spinelessly trying to deny it exists.
Systemic racism adversely affects everyone, and there is not one area or institution where it doesn't exist. The problem is that hordes of whites are wilfully ignorant, wilfully uneducated, wilfully blind, and therefore don't see how they are screwing themselves in the long run, and in the short run, as well. And they're often just flat out stupid.
As for religion, all of them have some version of the Golden Rule. If people simply followed that, the only rule anyone ever needs, the world would be unrecognizable.

I have a white mom and a black dad. And I have lived in a majority black neighborhood a couple times throughout my life growing up and I have lived in some gentrified/kind of majority White neighborhoods also growing up. I seen the best and worst of both worlds. I know all about privileges and how some people are treated different. I understand the complexity of things. I look white looking and was labeled black at Birth. And I know what it's like to be a mixed race woman. And I know racism still exists in this country. I have seen it 20/20 every time the cops rolled pasted or pulled my dad over with me in the car and how that makes him act nervous regardless If he did or didn't have a warrant or criminal charge on him at the time or not. I know some cops do have racist View's about black people or people like me. And I have said some extreme things online in other places here on RUclips on another Channel about things I might do if Trump got back in the White House. And on that same day 30 minutes after I made that comment the cops rolled pasted my house like 3 or 5 times and heard helicopters flying around for a while too along with that cop to. And the next day when I stepped out front I found part of a women's hair weave on the ground right where that cop rolled through a suspicious amount of times the day before. I'm now living in a majority white area and the cops don't roll down this area very often like in a black neighborhood where every single day you hear sirens from ambulance or cop cars off in the distance or flying past your house every hour or so day and night because of constant criminal activities. And I noticed two suspicious looking people a man and woman who gave off Undercover cop or FBI kind of vibes in how they acted and carried themselves like serious authority figure kind of people and some what tryed to dress casual looking. And how they kept popping up where I work and other places while I was heading home. I know they followed me around a bit for a couple of days. Maybe I'm just overly paranoid and all of this is just a strange coincidence🤷♀️. But I'm very good at reading people and situations. But they totally gave off undercover cop or FBI vibes😎🕴. And their popping up in my life at the time with the comment I made many days before and I put it together in my mind that those people might think I'm a possible terrorist. If they were trying to discreetly follow me they kind of sucked at their job because they did not act casually when I did spot them.

Simply say what you mean and not one person can say otherwise. Stop making excuses for when we’re wrong about something. The world in general is thinking about racism more than not because it’s the reality of the world. We have to work together in order for our country to be better period.
But we won't, so I don't, makes no difference if you vote, cuz the reps & the dems are at EACH other's throats, propaganda thru the smoke, luckily for strong ancestors, I SURVIVED THE VOYAGE ON THEM BOATS🤔
Racism is not the reality of the world. It’s the reality of countries a sizable amount of whites stay in. Wherever whites go, race and racial issues follow. Makes sense as they created the concept of race.
This discussion was productive. Decent. Respectful. I think people of various races and political affiliations can agree to that. But what's sad is the right-wing propaganda machine has made it so that Republican lawmakers across the country are fighting to ban these types of discussions from happening in the schools. How can the country get better if its future (the kids) can't have constructive and honest discussions about difficult topics?

America is not a racist country. It hasn't had a racist issue since the early 1970's. Since then everyone has the same basic opportunities to succeed. It's quite simple, yet so many won't adhere to the basics. 1. graduate high school. 2. get a job. 3. don't have kinds until you are married. If you do those 3 things you will not stay in poverty 99.8% of the time.

So whites do better than blacks must mean whites are racist as implied by the great Obama the first black POTUS. But If true why do Asians 7% do better than whites? What's the difference in the three races? Instead of asking all of those questions objectively, most people will avoid researching hard facts as it's just much easier to say that white people are just racist.

Racism happens everywhere. It is deeply rooted in slavery, trafficking, and colonialism. My heart goes out to all human beings who have to endure this, to this date, especially since give the status of migration, most big cities in this world are actually pretty "mixed". We should address discrimination as part of moral science education, blended with history, ethical leadership, and psychology, by teachers who are rooted across different communities🤍🙏💟
Disagree, Racism is deeply rooted in how some young folks are taught to hate others at a very y0oung age, generally from their Patents who have a love affair with Hate. It is their Ideology and they want it to continue. We have been trying to overcome racism in America for a very long time; it has institutional roots; teaching and education, leadership,..... all the things you mention have failed for many decades. "Moral Science Education" appears to be some made up terminology to make people feel better, it's a farce. Only People can change why they choose to Hate other people.
Remember democrats where the founders of slavery and the kkk. FYI all the statues that you democrats wanted remove all Dems. The Republican Party was founded by the slaves and the white farmers.

Sixty-two of the 186 African Americans who have served in Congress are current Members-59 in the House and three in the Senate. In total, there have been 176 Black Members of the House of Representatives and eleven Senators. One has served in both chambers.
Not all blacks had it rosy like you , Senator
I was born and raised in Detroit. I can tell you that today in America you do have to be the exception to be young, black and successful. Numbers do not lie only politicians tend to lie. Pull up the numbers look at African-American men than women track how often they go to college, or track how often college graduates that are black get hired into positions, they deserve, or track financial aid that goes to minorities in America. Track any of these things and see what do the numbers say about race and higher education and success in America. If the numbers tell you race is not a factor proudly say it I can’t wait for that day but if that’s not what the numbers tell you don’t try and pretend something else is true.
When you pull the numbers and simply look at the data, you see that race is a factor when it comes to success in America. It is difficult for someone of color to make it here. I say that to someone of color who has made it and I can honestly say it wasn’t difficult for me to do so, but I was the exception I wasn’t the norm. That’s like looking at a famous black celebrity and saying will see it’s possible to make lots of money as a black person in America. That is true it’s possible but it’s not probable and that’s the problem. There are endless possibilities in America but when it comes to the actual probability of something happening, that’s when you know whether we as a nation are doing good or bad. When it comes to race in America, we’re not doing so good.
When you can run the numbers and see that Black people make less than Caucasian Americans we’re not doing good when you can run the numbers and see men make more than women on average for the same job. We are not doing so good. These are numbers that do not lie yet politicians continue to do so.

One thing I know for sure, anyone can twist their mind into whatever kind of knot to fit their perspective and whatever their belief is which is both liberating and horrifying.
horrifying how vulnerable someone's perspective has become
OR...
Think whatever you want. Just do it critically and with genuine intellectual honesty.
The 5 Steps to Critical Thinking:
What is critical thinking?
In general, critical thinking refers to actively questioning statements rather than blindly accepting them.
Critical thinking results in radical free will.
1. The critical thinker is flexible yet maintains an attitude of healthy skepticism.
Critical thinkers are open to new information, ideas, and claims. They genuinely consider alternative explanations and possibilities. However, this open-mindedness is tempered by a healthy sense of skepticism (Hyman, 2007).
The critical thinker consistently asks, “What evidence supports this claim?”
2. The critical thinker scrutinizes the evidence before drawing conclusions.
Critical thinkers strive to weigh all the available evidence before arriving at conclusions. In evaluating evidence, critical thinkers distinguish between empirical evidence versus opinions based on feelings or personal experience.
3. The critical thinker can assume other perspectives.
Critical thinkers are not imprisoned by their own points of view. Nor are they limited in their capacity to imagine life experiences and perspectives that are fundamentally different from their own. Rather, the critical thinker strives to understand and evaluate issues from many different angles.
4. The critical thinker is aware of biases and assumptions.
In evaluating evidence and ideas, critical thinkers strive to identify the biases and assumptions that are inherent in any argument (Riggio & Halpern, 2006). Critical thinkers also try to identify and minimize the influence of their own biases.
5. The critical thinker engages in reflective thinking.
Critical thinkers avoid knee-jerk responses. Instead, critical thinkers are reflective. Most complex issues are unlikely to have a simple solution. Therefore, critical thinkers resist the temptation to sidestep complexity by boiling an issue down to an either/or, yes/no kind of proposition. Instead, the critical thinker expects and accepts complexity (Halpern, 2007).
Critical thinking is not a single skill, but rather a set of attitudes and thinking skills. As is true with any set of skills, you can get better at these skills with practice.
In a nut shell, critical thinking is the active process of minimizing preconceptions and biases while evaluating evidence, determining the conclusions that can be reasonably be drawn from evidence, and considering alternative explanations for research findings or other phenomena.
CRITICAL THINKING QUESTIONS
>Why might other people want to discourage you from critical thinking?
>In what situations is it probably most difficult or challenging for you to exercise critical thinking skills? Why?
> What can you do or say to encourage others to use critical thinking in evaluating questionable claims or assertions?
YUP!!!! AND,, THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT'S WRONG WITH THIS COUNTRY!!!!
So we’ll said
The government has really made things more difficult for its citizens and we cannot sit back and take all the consequences of bad government and it is obvious that we are heading for hyperinflation, it is always the poor who take the hit.
We have the government we voted for. Even the laws that make voting difficult or deny representation were written by elected officials.
Local and state elections are as important as the presidential but too many of us don't participate.
From school committee elections to the presidential, every vote matters.
Well, let’s eat the rich.

Sen Scott is correct. He's definitely not exceptional. 😁
But he is an exception 😂
Biden 🤡👍
says who? a white guy
We can all do better, perhaps recognizing what we have in common and then listening to those that have been oppressed would be a good start. Politics is not an honorable perfusion, they are only protecting their best interests.

Forgiveness is. Good. But if somebody takes my $20 I forgive them? Shouldn't I get my $20 back?
Scott’s life literally is the exception. What a dumb, brain dead, out of touch thing to say. Most politicians acknowledge they have it good.
In general Democrats are cowards, they have and must use the playbooks that all Republicans in power NOW! These Republicans cruel and violent white supremacy,

Take your English to the next level. The Oxford Learner's Thesaurus explains the difference between groups of similar words. In this technology world it’s a very sad thing to know the days thing can call them self for us class human being. Why not the second class?
How so? If his life is the exception what is Obama’s life? How about Oprah’s life? How about your life?
@@freeindeed8416 Being a senator in & of itself is exceptional. Beings a black senator is even moreso. I don’t understand how that’s even a debate.
@@Nettamorphosis You didn’t answer any questions. Being a senator is the exception for any human being of any race. The point is there are many different successful black people. You don’t have to be a Senator to be considered successful. I consider myself successful but I’m not the exception. If I am, I shouldn’t be.
@@freeindeed8416 Of course Obama and Oprah’s lives are exceptional. Obama is literally the only black man in history to ever be the POTUS. Yes it’s exceptional to be POTUS no matter what race you are but there are 45 white presidents and only 1 black one. He’s exceptional beyond belief. What do you get out of pretending they aren’t exceptional even though they obviously are numerically speaking?
JFK was the first Catholic president; he was the exception, not the rule. #2 didn’t come until 2020. Biden is exceptional in that way.
I think you’re normatively loading the word exceptional. It’s not a judgement. It’s just an observation of an anomaly.
Tim Scott IS a statistical exception to the rule right in the senate. Only 11 black senators in history of over 1K. Please sit down with your rhetoric Tim. 🤦🏾♀️
On point #B1
Check your facts. Sixty-two of the 186 African Americans who have served in Congress are current Members-59 in the House and three in the Senate. In total, there have been 176 Black Members of the House of Representatives and eleven Senators. One has served in both chambers.
@Dave Waldon Her point still stands unless you think differently ?
@@zoobrizz reading helps. 11 black senators in ALL OF TIME. With over 1K senators in US history. This is a simple google search.
Wow! This is shockingly informative and reasonable conversation between Mayor Bottoms and Mr. Pinion.
I commend everyone on this panel. Ideas were expressed and articulated without insults or hostility.
Tim Scott thinks you can be average and succeed like he did in this day and age 😂😂😂
So why is your party holding back blacks from charter schools? Want to answer me? Yeah, didn't think so.
you can... it's called hard work and dedication!
Keep holding them down on the liberal plantation 😢
If you're average, you gotta be a sell out grifter like him to make it big 🤷♂️
@@MyGodisGreaterTo be a sellout 😂😂😂
Mr.Scott is hiding his head in the sand but his behind is flapping in the wind.

I'm basically shocked at how peaceful and respectful this conversation was. All participants, including president Obama, contributed intelligent and balanced opinions on the topic and spoke calmly and composed.
I would have asked Tim Scott, how come there are not twenty of you in the GOP..
Uncle Tim needs to be on a box of Pie…he doesn’t know he’s dessert!
He's just repeating the Propaganda of Sanitized History Activists aka the Alt Right, perfect exemple of brain washed ambitious politician!🇺🇸

@@gilanialnoor3714it's hard for you to cope a black man has succeed more in life than you ever will. You are such a small waste of oxygen.
It is this attitude that keeps blacks down while other groups surpass them. There needs to be a change in perspective. Since the emergence of W.E.B. Dubois's leadership, blacks have taken a plaintive disposition toward America, while other groups maintained a self-assertive disposition. And when blacks have witnessed other blacks taking a self-assertive disposition, they have generally condemned them-- to continue begging America for breadcrumbs when by now they should be enjoying meat.
@gilani alnoor 100%
Scott isnt in any league to go one and one with Obama. However he can be schooled by a Master
Obama isn't that smart. Especially for a half black man
Scott isn't half balck like Obama
Obama went from “the family is important, work hard” to “hrrr systemic racism” 🤣🤣
Not everyone know financial literacy so no matter what race if you don’t have the knowledge you will be struggling anyway. The family that keep and build their wealth use other vehicles to get there. The amount of money you keep is the important part
Racism today comes in all colors, it's been my experience that white people are not the only racists. There are racist in every race of people. I belong to one race, the human race. At 66 years of age I have had two favorite Presidents in my lifetime, the first was JFK and the second is President Obama.
What was great about Obama?
It is not like you would understand if someone explained to you 😂
@@sach8906 Lame answer.
@@LaurieLT88 That was an observation, not an answer. But, what would you know, right?
I hope you're aware that blacks are the most discriminated race of the world. Do to the media blacks and only blacks are "suppose" to be the dangerous ones.
Someone investigate tim Scott's background.
Not trusting he came from nothing without any handouts
Its stupidity and it makes me feel anxiety
Very Cogent Conversation that can lead to true understanding and reconciliation...Need more of this in our political discourse.
The only thing missing from Tim Scott’s presidential run is the Bluebird on his shoulder 🦝
Song of the south, accurate reference ✊🏽🙏🏽🖤
Calling a black man a coon is racist
😄😄😄
If Tim Scott doesn’t believe that racism exists in America, he needs to ask his Mama how she feels about the subject. He’s the only black Senator in the country. 😂😂😂
Fact check, the GOP is the most diverse Congress in the history of our government, more blacks, more Latinos, more woman !!! Next time fact check before you show your ignorance!!!
I agree. But, he is actually 1 of 4 black senators.
He's the only Republican Black American senator. He is being disingenuous, he is playing to a particular segment of the US population.
@@tamikocastro4343 Scott, Booker, and Warnock...Who is the fourth? Regardless, Scott is the only Republican so maybe that's what OP left out. Out of 50, that's a damning indictment and I can't imagine how Tim Scott looks around and thinks "yep, no racism at work in this country."
So by that logic, it is a racist country because Obama was to date the only "black" president. (but he's fully half white so why is he "black"???)
Tim Scott, ain't he the ONLY Black Republican in the senate, is that not The Exeption?🤔
It can't be addressed; the more you address it, worse it gets.
BEST PRESIDENT EVER!
if there is any country where succes is based on exception, its the USA. Its not just be exceptional, but even think it. That does not mean you only can call yourself exceptional when they are a millionaire or even better, a billionaire, but the American society seem to demand that for being succesfull, you have to be exceptional. The big problem of course is which group gets the better chance to develop their exceptionality.
That Holds True In A Country That Continues To Practice In A System Of Its Economy and Equality, BLACKS Are The Last Hired and The First Fired.
The answer is everyone.
Yeh, we’ve debunked the bootstrap and American Dream propaganda already
The sun shines for everyone.....the moon shines for everyone...etc. there is no need for racism.
It's really refreshing, and quite frankly healing to see a Republican speak this way.
CNN, no reports on "The Big Guy" and his 10% cut?
Where’s the proof of that? Can you directly tie that to Biden? Because the House GOP sure hasn’t come up with any proof of any crimes that Biden or his family committed.
GIVE IT UP!!! That story originated from a Putin loving Ukrainian!!! That story was made up!!! Don't you remember Rudy Gulliani rubbing elbows with that dude, Lev Parnas and that other guy!!! Plus, that alleged 5 million bribe is a lot smaller than the TWO BILLION DOLLARS Jared Kushner received from Saudi Arabia!!! You should be complaining about that bribe!!!
Would be great to see these discussions also recognise your Indigenous Americans, I get the discussion on African descent Americans but what about the American First Nation people.
America was created by Europeans.
They have land and casinos and get 60 billion each year and have the Indian affairs bureau. Look it .. What does Decedent's of America black slaves have?
African-Americans are more important and should have priority. Concern for other minorities distracts attention from the drive for reparations.
@David Glickman If the Democrats want to remain in power . They must support and pass cash reparations . The younger black generation are getting priced out of they're community and jobs/business. The immigrants are coming in free room and board with a new i.d and a fresh clean credit score. Setting am up to leap frog Black Americans Descendents of Slaves.
@@live_free_or_perish Why are they more important?
It sure isn’t now especially with Tim Scott!
As a Black person the thing that annoys me is when a Black Republican has anything to say he is called names and criticized. Now there are people like Candace Owens who has made some very derogatory comments about Black people where I can understand the criticism. But people like Tim Scott is just someone who has a different perspective and I appreciate it. No other minority group jumps up and calls each other names just because they have a different point of view like Black people do and to me it makes us look foolish as a minority group. Not that Obama and Bottoms are doing that in this discussion but I see it in the comments and on social media a lot.
They know Black folks under 50 are looking for other good American candidates to vote for, are more likely to be independants, and are PARTICULARLY interested in candidates that are non immigrant Black Americans that are more independant in their thinking.
How many Asian POTUS? How many Asians in congress....
Why do they do better than whites. Democrats love to stir the BLACK AND WHITE RACE ISSUE! All about votes and honestly I don't believe in that anymore!
''GOP'' and ''honest'' in the same sentence is risible.
Tim Scott does not want to acknowledge his story is not a story that is shared with the masses. That does make you an exception. It will be nice for people to stop acting like their story is the only one that matters. We can celebrate your story and still acknowledge that there are many that do not share it.
We will look at it sir thank you.
How was he president if it’s not true you can get somewhere Tim Scott is amazing man inspiration positive message not victim message
On the last question regarding Obama talking about how progressives Are missing the mark, the mayor completely missed the point. The reporter misrepresented Scott's comments
My rent is 1400.00. I pay 400.00 a month. Ive been on time for 9 months total of 3600.00 timely payment
I like how the title says Obama “speaks out” and 95% of this segment is not Obama speaking out
Success is about taking advantage of opportunities that exist. There's no law stopping you like in the past. Tim Scott is right.
There is no law stopping you, but there are racist systems and people stopping you.
Burnett is sharp! Explained the problem, extremely well. Two country opinions dealt with in two ways, but evil is evil and rascist and will be avenged soon by the avenging angels.
Has a student from baltimore… if I didn’t have a chance to go to a Magnet School… I would’ve been dumb as a doorknob.. the public school system is a joke. If they get rid of the people stealing MONEY from the schools, we might get somewhere.
Tim Scott's people must have worked in the "house" as domestics.
I think one of the points that Tim Scott was trying to get across was: No one should tell a child that he/she can't
be successful in this country because they didn't get straight A's in high school or receive a near perfect score on
a college entrance exam or attend an Ivy League university, because we all know that it isn't true.
Of course it helps, but clearly you don't have to be considered 'exceptional' to acheive your goals and gain success in this country.
Except for the fact that only 18% of all children born into poverty in the US will grow up be upwardly mobile, meaning making it to the middle class. So for some like Tim Scott, they are literally the exception, not the rule
@@down-to-earth-mystery-school You miss the point, even if that number that you stated is correct, and I seriously doubt that it is,
Mr. Scott's point still holds true: no one should tell a child that he/she can't be successful in this country even if he/she isnt an A student.
If placing a high value on education, determination and hard work, and setting goals and acheiving them is considered the Exception, then what does that say about the people who are considered the Rule.
Mr. Scott, who grew up in poverty in the South with little or no real support, was not a good student and yet, he was able to set goals and achieve them. Determination and a willingness to work hard are not qualities that are solely the domain of the rich and well educated. His life attests to the fact that there are no real insurmountable barriers in place that should prevent anyone, borned in poverty or not, from setting goals,acheiving them and becoming a responsible and productive citizen.
He's just a Black man with a different perspective. It IS allowed.
As a Black person who was able to achieve some modicum of success, I respectfully disagree. What Tim Scott was doing was placating his potential voters. He absolutely needs to make anyone who might conceivably vote for him feel that he will not say or do anything that could possibly make them feel he is in any way affiliated with "woke" culture. And, as for former President Obama's views -- he eloquently pointed out the unwillingness to engage in civil conversation on both sides of the argument. It is extremely difficult to hold a conversation when people are unable to actually listen to each other as is evidenced by comments posted by both sides on this board. I would hope that at some time in the near future, enough of us will wake up and perceive that our country's survival is ultimately dependent on us being able to respectfully coexist.
@@euterpe55 All politicians, the world over, pander to their potential voters. He disagrees with the so called 'woke culture' ,so why would he want to be affiliated with it? He's a Republican, it is allowed you know. He has a right to his own perspective and his own path in life.
I'm sure you watch your local news, compare what this man has achieved in contrast to the fate of the Black young men you see on your locals news each and every day.
Tim Scoot has to take a natural position on many issues to keep the interest of more people opinions favorable to the center.
