That's like saying there was no black unemployment during slavery.
What she ignores to say is that Republicans fought to give them freedom. Where democrats fought to keep the slave trade going.
He's one of those ones that is taking us back. That is what happens if you ignore your own history and pretend that history started when he was born and making up the past for power.
yes Jim Crow – yet another Democrat thing
wow. so many dumbasses that don't recognize the black families use to stick together until they went for the Democrat welfare programs where the Father has to be kicked out of the home. So easily controlled without a Father in the house.
Traitor to his country and to his race, an all those that fought for equality no matter their race.
He's an absolute tool.
I have found the 1.2 thousand dumbed down democrats left in the US here in this thread. Following the wisdom of this lady? Now that’s a cult.
She cut him off because he educated her. Black families were together, owned homes and businesses, blaacks are worst off mow than they e ever been. These democrats are clowns
Hooked on history. Donny get some history on tape.
Jim Crow is where Gun Laws come from. Disarm the black man.
Why did he not marry a Black women like his mother. Sad.
Every struggle that every being must go through and survive is beneficial to all. Survival of the fitist.
No
Just like every other person who lets their honest feelings slip, later trying to backpedal and say it didn't mean it. Yet again in the MAGA crowd
She was removed from MSNBC because she kept being vocal about ALL of this phuckery. Cost her her job, as it often does when fascism comes to town ..
Do you want to be raised by a mother and father who are trump/putin supporters? Single parent homes are fine.
So why go against your own interest? 🤨
TRUMP JUST BROUGHT THAT LAW BACK THX 2 THE LATINO AND BLACK VOTE. 🙆🏼♀️
We do now, lol welcome back
This is the most racist, unhinged and laughable comment section I’ve seen a long time. He was speaking about fatherlessness in the black community which, like it or not, was much less common during JC than it is now. He wasn’t saying that Jim Crow was good but yall, rather conveniently I might add, are all too comfortable with dodging his ACTUAL point…how interesting.
Joy shut up. If anything she sounds racist for bringing up his marriage and then quickly saying " we're out of time" the liberal media has no legs to stand on hence why nobody is listening to what they have to say anymore and the ratings are plummeting.
Oh black man don’t like his own kind. They always want white women 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Bro only said in the face of actual racism ( Jim Crow) black families were intact compared to today.
okay, but are you as a black man in a black home w black wife and black kids?
Louisiana State just passed a Law to keep Jim Crow Laws Alive and The " One Drop Rule " If you have Black Ancestory But Look White Your Black Anyway With that Anybody on any Apps Form Registration or Facial Recognition With Law Enforcement Depts can Identify you as Black and Mess you up in All kinds of Ways It is Happening here People are being Set up of Crimes By Avatar Type Virtual Reality Based Resources In Places they never Been To catch Raps they never Did People are Scared not to Come out To Group Gatherings of any Kind The Tv Advertisments For Gatherings are Past Years Videos They Post Park events Gathering Signs Nobody goes to to Get Shot Both Ways And the other is Photo Shot to be seen at a Crime People arent stupid here their just to poor to Move
It got worst… from 2️⃣0️⃣2️⃣5️⃣
He has a disgrace to himself 😢
on no way shape or form he he suggest Jim Crow laws helped black families.
Why is there always that one black man who will sell his people down the river ?
Joy And Pain, Like Sunshine and Rain 😂
Father's in homes is BS, you need at a basic level a plurality of adults who you can trust, confide in and grow from, 2 mums, 2 dad's, 2 enbys, 2 of any combination of parents you can think of is the basic level. A single parent is where things get tough, be it single mum, single dad, single enby or anyone who is caring for a child on their own, it is single parents without support themselves where the troubles start.
You can also say that having 2 parents is bad, there are enough abusive parents around that shouldn't have kids, a good parent is good, a bad parent is bad, some single parents are all a kid needs, others it is turmoil and strife. So let's put down the "Mum and Dad" view of families and start looking at if the home is safe and loving for the child!!!
When a race riot starts, black people
will go lais sez- faire and let his
in-laws and MAGA rescue him
More likely, THEY will get a few
bites, kicks, scratches and punches
in When he starts up-chucking green
stuff,we will SAY; don't hit the "brother"
but we won't do ANYTHING to stop it
How can one be so stupid?
Sad sad sad
What a sell out. Not because he married a white woman, most of could care less about that but, because, he blames a whole lot on Black people and Black families. Like racism and anti DEI had nothing to do with it. He made it great. I made it, a few of my friends made it but, a lot of what we did was to go the unconventional route. Unfortunately everyone isn't/wasn't able to take the same route.
florida again.
This man done sold himself for cheap like a fool
No he isn't. He's asking why they were so much better off than today. That's not the same thing at all. Because mischaracterization is all you have. Jim Crowe sucked. But not as much as today. 😉
Joy drop that mic!
He’s not black and then want to get defensive
He’s shameful and has done something wrong, or he wouldn’t be acting like that
Why do Americans care so much about race i don’t get it
Think Byron's point was how the family unit was more intact during the Jim Crow era, why has those numbers decline when there are more freedoms now?
This mofo!!!!!
O good lord joy Reid the biggest racist ever to live
Another example why this dummy got the boot 😅
The Democrat party is the party of slavery, KKK, Jim Crow, segregation, anti voting rights for blacks. Don’t let them fool you anymore!
Please people STOP saying that this dude is one of us. If you really really look you will see he's not.i don't know what he is but clearly something is wrong with the weirdo. See the video of Congress woman Jasmine Crockett exposing this weirdo. donaldsis a true example of the devil working overtime….
This “ blonde” black . Woman is someone who is unable to “ let it go”..
Two tethers speaking btw 😂
