Why is it whenever there is a discussion about the plight of black men, a black woman has to be the moderator of the discussion? That actually speaks volumes about our plight. Why can't there be a another black man as the moderator? There never is a serious conversation about black men, without black women being present. However whenever there is a forum for black women, usually there are no black men even in the building. Even the million man march had a few black women speakers. When will black men have their moment?

Most hated most imitated

When u tell the truth ... U have Less followers ! But realer Friends !

We must never allow this country or the world forget our stories.

Four years later and this is still just as relevant in September of 2020.

“Success in this world is money and we have gotten away from spirituality” we now worship money. A sad truth

It's hard to be black in this country. guilty until proven innocent. judged based on looks and not education and morals. Then people have the audacity to ask whats wrong or try to tell me what to do to become a better person as if i'm the one with the problem.

It’s 2025 and we dealing with the same stuff

Its so hard you can't pick your race. Being born in a way that so many already hate is oppressive we just have to form a group like Panthers again privately. Period. Take care of each other our own.

I'm autistic and I can't go into a store without feeling like someone is watching me thinking i'm trying to steal something. When all I have stolen was a chapstick when I was 14

Why are Black people who express themselves called angry. I choose not to watch and share for that reason.

Living in America is a total mind fuck for Black Americans.

Just being black makes me suspect it makes me wanna stay home I'm not I pray grace of god on our life's

Thank you for sharing this important conversation

What gets me is that these Mexican people experience some of the same events African Americans experience but yet they be in contempt when it comes to another people being oppressed like themselves.

Great great video. Keep speaking this truth. We truly shall overcome! Amen

5 years later it’s not only getting worser…

relevant, will be, till almost 2090 sadly. racism is everywhere

We as black people have a probable cause for being Angry, we've been oppressed, judged, discriminated against, suspected, and pushed back all of our lives.... what are the reasons for Karen, Becky, Brad, and Ken being so Angry? um listening!!! We are deemed Guilty until proven innocent in a court of law. Injustice is a valid reason for causing one to be Angry, again....what's their excuse?

Although this is four years ago " it is very relevant today " I agree with this panel yet at this point in 2020 we now know it's just a gamble when it comes to dealing with the police . We never know what kind of cop we will be approached by . All we can do is hope they don't kill us for some random reason .

I've been wanting Wendell Pierce to play Dr. Amos Wilson for at least 15 years or more.

I'd like to thank Dr. Malcom X, Dr. Clark, Dr. King, Dr. Ben, the Black 14, and etc. I'm a proud Black Veteran, but the United States needs to step up and walk right, respect for the flags right know none, you have to earn my respect, like basic training, the police nation wide, you have to earn the respect, putting on the uniform doesn't give you respect in some communities . The so call president killed over 180,000 people and walking a round scout free, what the F. is going on with this country, Trumpy did you serve your country Hitler Jr. ??? Hell no.....

Black American men must travel

Its hard but never be ashamed we aint a weak group of men knor are we less intelligent than anyone else swell you confidence and lets change the world together

I’m a working class white guy from the U.K. & the way the US police treat black men is criminal. Keep up your good fight.

I'm sorry I'm just now seeing this, but glad I have seen it, regardless.

Great conversation

Somebody please explain to me why anger in black men is seen as acceptable and something to be respected? We all got a reason to be angry!!!

Excellent. Informative.

Loved this.

Shalom Aleichem Black is an adjective.........can never and should never be identified or accepted to represent a flesh animated spirit.....

I don't understand how or why we are so forgetting as a race it does not seem to make sense and I refuse to believe that just is how it is.

17:45 was interesting and a great example

Sad but true

21:15 was spot on as well

Most hated. Most imitated.

It’s sad cuz blacks have to watch each other and others races and they wonder why act angry

Controversial Conversation Podcast explains what it is to be black in America; see it here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/n92RqK2Fy52rfHU.html

Never change

This is a very good video.

the people are talking around the subject. We need someone to talk direct and bold to reality's to social / racism and keeping blacks in check.

A women told my coworker to smile because he's a big guy so he looks intimidating. Most friendliest guy ever.

Rachael's father suits 👍 dope

The best use of a phone is to post of Facebook live, or Instagram. If you just record and the cop shoots you and deletes the recording, can they find and recoup it?? I would be interested to know from our Techies...

Thank U, infinite intelligence. ♾

Facts

Low views and little comments from black people come from how hard the struggle is for black people and the way we are disregarded. Even black people struggle with each other on a daily basis. Black people have been separated in a big way and it’s all a part of the conspiracy. There is always an attack in the making on black people. And it is always deep and meant to hit them right in a gut wrenching way. But we are coming up. So many of us had to die for it. The new generation is becoming educated and powerful. There is a lot more to do but its coming out fiercely.

Hmmmmph "parent each other" Well my folks sure fell down on that one!

Getting pulled over frequently must be like when I had my p plates and the cops target you

My man Bunk!!

Cuh on the thumbnail look like the detective of the wire

Crimes have been committed against people of color by racist . If anything it's the racist that needs to be healed not the victim of racism . It is the intent and aim of a racist to cause the person whom he or she is profiling to experience pain and suffering . To ask a racist cop , what did I do wrong , implys an ignorance of what is occurring and why . I hate when someone says , he or she did this to me because I am black instead the proper view to take is to see that the person is under the influence of racism and as a result is mentally impaired and subsequently incapable of self control . Racist are socially dysfunctional due to their inability to deal with someone different from them . Why should someone who was racially profiled and was fortunate to have lived through the encounter carry the burden of explaining systematic racism to people who called themselves white . When we explain the pain and suffering caused to us by systematic racism we become like a victim at trial in a courtroom ,who has to relive the pain and suffering while looking upon the person that caused it throughout . A victim of a crime never gets over it and in some cases a victim begins to blame themselves as if they were responsible for what happened . In most cases of a conviction , a victim is given the opportunity to address the culprit and on many occasions a victim ask the question , why me ? Racism is comparable to a heinous crime where mental health questions arise . A person who is sick mentally is capable of doing anything in such a state ,any act by this person while in this state should be viewed as a deliberate attempt on that person part to adversely affect black people lives by means of his sickness . Any person who is prone random racial acts of violence has mental health issues and if such a person needs help what should be done to a person who is prone to deliberate acts racial violence !. If domestic violence is unlawful , why should racial violence remain lawful . Think about it , the anti lynching never passed . Black Lives do not Matter in a system inherently racist . The system was designed to benefit some not all . Those black who have attained wealth and status are the exception , not the rule .

We will NEVER get the oppressor off of us by talking intellectually, u have to b able to PROTECT your intellect and if we can't do that we'll b STILL TALKING INTELLECTUALLY 100 YRS. FROM NOW UNDER THE SAME RACIST CONDITIONS.

We the best

This makes me sick. Nobody (both black or white) ever address that facts that there's a huge differences between Indigenous/Africans in America way before the Europeans arrived and Emancipated Africans that were forcefully carried here due to Slavery. Yes we might look the same but trust me "we" are not the same... research your genealogy and learn your ancestry. DNA genetics don't lie.

EVIL- SO far is like a wise client's adversarial thumb, that hitches rides and hitch hikes on many platforms when it see's defense is slack, regardless of the vehicle. There are two sides in every human scenario, respect must be applied, especially when it's not seen, often more than not it seems, depending on the parties. Questioning that which makes you feel uncomfortable is a Constitutional right, questioning another individual with a humanistic approach regardless of the cause effect must be used with wisdom, regardless who's wrong or right. Wisdom is not gathered in houses of worship, Congress, court rooms, campuses of Ivy league schools, panels or in audiences, it's to be put on at a moments notice, situations provide opportunity for wisdom and love to be displayed all day. No one wants to be talked to or acted upon in a disrespectful way, even Police, you already know, brother talks about self work, but not evil, evil has no regard for any flesh spirit, so what's the surprise when it shows it's face or has been allowed to hitch a ride in one of the most important social exchanges in public life! Evil enjoys one with no defense, like a bball game, if Steph Curry is hitting three's uncontested, and Golden State are winning by a point to point scenario every episode, then like evil, we like Curry will continue to exploit the weak defense. One knows evil exist, a wise son and daughter would become wisdom of the moment, instead of being hypnotized by evil, and then allow it to lower love and wisdom of the designer by handing it over to the adversary, whom you already know has an impartial job to do. One can not become wisdom, if you don;t have the proper instructor, this is where I come into play. Those of you who do not understand who the adversary is, what true purpose is, and how to adorn the shield, sword and helmet of righteousness email me at: KINGZOFKINGZS@yahoo.com '' IF BLACK IS A FACT, THEN HE WHO SPOKE IN THE DARK, WAS A MARK" '' IF YOUR LIGHT IS PERPETUATED BY WHAT'S RIGHT, THEN HE WHO SITS IN HIS HEIGHTS WAITS FOR YOU TO IGNITE, SO ALL CAN HAVE SIGHT" Those from LA know what a mark is..... Shalom Daniel Moshe Johnson

I would have not returned to New Orleans if I had been rich or poor.

Some people need to fight with words in order to be heard because of indifference concerning their spiritual struggles of emotional pain . Regardless of your race and gender. Please cut down the attitude of indifference to slow down the occurrence of anger and rage.

3:00 if General Iroh was black.

I want to know what their experience has been being black in America. 5 mins in and we still beating around the bush

Get rid of a system that dosent have your best interest at heart how would you know ask your parents if u dont understand they have your best interest

My opinion it seems like as fathers and mothers it seems like Mother's is trying to raise their sons to be less of a man when it comes to doing things in life as a father told his son how to live a normal life that's my opinion because I was raised with mom and a dad but there's a lot of single moms they raised their kids the wrong way as a father the man of the house shows how what we can do we don't see that a lot so we have to stick together that's the falling point right there as black men and family.

I know there's racism in the world and I hope we all understand that everyone is equal.

Good people judge by morals and ethics. Going with your own race by default is racist. I love you all

In the first moments of the discussion are you only here to transfer education that you have, something else that the older brother is missing you are to transfer your wealth as well so this conversation is null and voi6

search bloody chicago on youtube now.

My BROTHERS should start investing their meager revenue where it belongs. AFRICA! Live life with dignity & respect! Stop talking to that deaf ear

This is interesting this is really something and the president was doing prison reform

These men appeal to the heart not the mind where the truth is. They worked hard at skirting details and their demands. They said nothing that furthers the conversation. It was the same old… black people were treated poorly, speech and repeat. It is however a great speech for getting people worked up to cast their lazy votes.

Focus Jack sp busy gaining black Men , Now you should gain Newark. Clean Up Newark Clean up Chicago Clean up your mess.

Ur good Trevor. Fire extinguishers painted on....😂😂🤣🤣🤣 Hurricane Laura takes out confederate statue that they voted to keep....that was the Almighty GOD. ...and date all of the Kardashians 🤣🤣😂 "Break in case of emergency" 🤣😂 Classic dude. U r the shit 👏👏🤗👍

I don’t like videos like this not to throw cop crime to the side but we need be straight up and talk about the good job crisis for black men the changing in the credit system the opportunities in owning business if you want without all the extra loop holes extra requirements black men go threw compared to others trying to obtain loans. This IS the real cry for black America not this 2 pennies

We shouldn't wear our perceived skin color. We should be men and women of actual color. Stay out, away from the darkness. We are beautiful in colors...don't you see?

What we NEEDED TO KNOW was hidden in the scriptures that our black preachers WEREN'T ALLOWED to cover in their Sunday morning sermons. Read Deuteronomy chapter 28 in its ENTIRETY. If we are TRULY children of the MOST HIGH GOD, we must FINALLY do things HIS WAY: Our COLLECTIVE Prayers CAN change things. In OUR weakness, GOD WILL show HIS STRENGTH: 2nd CHRONICLES 7:14: If MY people who are called by MY NAME will humble themselves, and PRAY and seek MY face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I WILL hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal/RESTORE their land.

I listen to this and wonder what they complain about so much in this country, how is there systemic racism in this country? We have Black History Month, Black Business Month, Black Family Month, BET, Black Starz, Afro Channel, Black Music Month, A tv show called Blackish, We have Black goveners, and where i live all we have had is black mayors, sports like football is 80% black, we have Black News channel just for black people and thats just the icing on the cake, anyway why is that black people can make jokes about white people but when an white person makes an joke its racist and they get fired or banned, and black lives matter call themselves so peaceful then why did the burn down business, burn down house loot. if there was systemic racism like they say they woulnt have anything and now its frowned upon or even hated to even where an all lives matter shirt really? how is all lives matter racist plus i here black people say black power black pride and its totally normal buy white people artnt even allowed to say there proud to be white really whos being racist. I am not racist but i am sick of hearing this evey day on the news and on the streets so how is this country systemc racism:?

Being a black man in America really isn’t much different from just being a man in America, no matter who you are or what you look like or where you come from there will be someone who hates the fact that you woke up this morning. You can live in constant fear or accept that fact and get on with your life

Being rich is a virtue not a sin. These people have dollars, bet your ass.

REPUBLICAN PARTY HISTORY IS OUR LOST BLACK HISTORY BRUH

T

See what we do avoid the real talk our black man and Mom and Daddy got to stand up for our families not come up with excuses being afraid just don't get it or stop it black kids being murdered everyday while we social media downgrade each other sabotage each other name videos and hoping to get paid off of live video just said but won't stand up for our own kids I don't understand

It over for black men in the united States

Black this and black that won't fix anything, it makes it worse. Just let people "today" celebrate together without color being the title.

Omg, Black men have to stop blaming everybody else and be accountable for their own actions!!!!

Why is this called 12 “Angry” Men? Why is that continued stereotype necessary? Which man seemed angry here?

This kind of stuff is a waste it time .There is no explanation that needs to be given It already highlighted by James Baldwin.Its now on 2000.0.And that's it!

This is embarrassing. Why do black men always feel the need to identify as a victim all the time? This is why we keep lagging behind. Always sitting around feeling sorry for ourselves.

this is a comment that was made to me by a vile person. it needs to be shared, how you treat this comment is up to you. Ayiana Arthur 19 minutes ago @bwana-ma-coo-bah separate but equal. If black communities were less prosperous than white ones it just proves that white people are better at building prosperous communities than black people. That also holds true when you look at white countries compared to black ones. Yet some black people don't try to work hard and improve, they just complain and try to tear down others.
