Im white…i like black people….but if you think im gonna bow down…youve list your minds
Hmmm. A video shaming people for engaging in their freedoms……. this is not news. This is an attack against people to provoke other to attack them. I wonder how Lincoln would respond to this news organization.
CBS censoring comments and commentators.. very progressive.
You don't get to chose how I, or anyone else, act as a friend. No I will not be your little white puppet and dance for you. Their called friends, not allys, if you can't handle a white friend then your the racist.
How Bout emancipation of FINANCIAL SLAVERY….. (REPATRIATION ‼️) MONEY CASH Debt Clearence Free COLLEGE EDUCATION ETC .‼️
Yall pupet Masters Dont Let Yall talk & enforce that 1 huh,? Yea,,, Cause thats the power & language they talk & know will Change Things Dramatically ‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️
The title of this video should read “how the media has become an enemy of minorities”… pathetic reporting
I was quite sympathetic at first. That cop deserves to be punished. Then the propaganda and rioting began. Then the wacko calls to defund the police. Good Job! You lost me
MEDIA is no ally to Black Americans. The UNION protection is the root cause that allows cop's to have multiple complaints and keep their job. MEDIA ignores this purposely to DIVIDE us. And all you mostly white people on here caring more about bullying then change and saying to yourself your helping black Americans are hypocrites too.
Stop looking outside your community to blame, and instead look to your own people to see what is wrong.
Don't want to associate with people who blame others for their issues, they need to grow up. Also, a reminder, it was MUSLIMS that sold their ancestors into slavery, noticed there is no attempt to smear that group with racist tirade.
ridiculous. truly.
All lives matter *which* *is* *exactly* *why* #blacklivesmatter
I never knew how to support my friends or family until this man told me how to! STFU!

It’s 2020. America is a melting pot. It’s not a pandemic of racism. It’s a pandemic of large media corporations drumming up drama for ratings. Majority of Americans are happy with sharing their country with each other. Regardless of skin color.
🖕🏿WILL NEVER BOW DOWN TO A TOAD
God he looks straight up evil.
ITS OK TO BE WHITE, I WILL NOT KNEEL FOR SOMETHING I DIDNT DO, I ONLY KNEEL TO GOD, IF YOU ARE OFFENDED BY THIS… YOU ARE THE PROBLEM… IM NOT YOUR ENEMY, I AM NOT RACIST, GOD LOVES YOU, AND YOU ARE AMAZING!!!
Like Spike Lee said just do the right thing
Why don’t cbs pay for plan parenthood to quadruple their work to help the 8 million black kids that don’t have a dad or drop out of school. You people are starting a race war that will end bad for the black race.
Mr. David Dorn , a police officer who got killed by a looter/criminal . Let’s honor his death ,Period!

When you are draft dodger Traitor Trunk, Comrade Barr, Moscow Mitch, and “Justice” Roberts — you steal the 2020 election. It's what you do. VOTE
Thank you Dr. Harris for taking the time to explain how to be a true ally, especially at this time when white silence is not an option. 🙏
Blame Trump and his supporters 😂 I just saved you 7:38
How about not giving a f*ck about this fake movement.
I can't even edit comments?
Fix your automatic removal of comments, please.
Why is the media silent about the black on black crime?
Which is ~96-98% more of than white on black crime?

Why black lives matter. Why not reparations. Now. Justice now. Black power. No justice no peace. And even black lives matter is triggerring to some people.
