I love the way Coleman Hughes has to always say "I didn't vote for Trump nor would I" to be taken seriously on these platforms. This is the reason why there will be a lot of secret Trump voters in the black community.

Malcolm X "If you are not careful the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed. And loving the people who are doing the oppressing".

"There's a poor people problem"....Amen. He nailed it

Van Jones: I was offended. Everyone: Big surprise

Coleman Hughes is consistently the smartest person in the room and it actually interferes with other’s ability to have a constructive argument with him. He so carefully chooses his words while others don’t carefully listen.

This young man gotta be tired of people saying “young folk” are being manipulated by social media to the right 😂

How amazing that this is considered a fringe opinion by cnn. Literally the most reasonable guy out there

How do you have a discussion about the appeal of black voters without someone who has a sense of that appeal on the panel?

Fun fact, the youngest person in the room is the smartest and possibly the wisest. Van was stunned by his arguments, tried to come up with a rebuttal, but was unable. That is what happens when common sense gets into the room

I wonder if they were offended when Biden says if you don't vote for me you're not black?

Why didn't they actually get a Black Conservative to discuss this?

you CAN workout the "DIFFERENCES" whether you are a republican, a democrat, an independent, black, white, brown, or yellow. but you CAN'T workout the "LIES".

Barkley needs to stick to subway commercials 😊

EXCELLENT point! [Paraphrased] "You may not get what you want by voting but you sure can lose what you've got by not voting."

I really appreciate how Van Jones had respect for Coleman Hughes and didn't attach his character like SUNNY HOSTIN did - that was so disgraceful. Clearly this man is intelligent and has a story to tell via research and personal experience.

Well for starters he didn’t try to replace them in their own cities.

I'm so glad I can think critically.

Van Jones pro black but won’t date black women. Bruh

This was actually an interesting discussion thanks to Coleman. I would watch CNN if there were more of this.

It sounds like neither Coleman Hawkins nor Van Jones has spoken to a single young black man who is moving towards Trump. Come on fellas, do some investigating.

1. Mr. 28 yr. old guy, you are a positive force. Please continue. 2. What policies have Republicans passed that actually helped black communities? 3. Democratic strategists need to listen to this conversation.

Immigration is another reason that black men- especially working class black men- are frustrated with the Democratic Party. Of course, they’d be voting against their own interests, but many consider the fact that they’ve struggled (historically) for resources, while immigrants can be readily supplied with resources As soon as they arrive. These are not my views- but I’ve heard men complain openly about this issue. This is particularly true with housing and food security.

I'm enjoying Charles Barkley's influence in the general conversation on all these clips.

Finally a news program without a desk, sound effects, and sound bites!

I have one question as a black man. What positive policies have Donald Trump presented to the black community.

Why put him on there you should put a real black conservative that voted for Trump on there

Charles Barkley made some good points. Charles Hughes also made some good comments We have to listen to all issues VAN HAYES MADE SOME EXCELLENT COMMENTS

How is the economy better than it has ever been? Better for whom? Everything is more expensive and incomes for employees aren’t enough to buy basic things. Inflation is eroding the little savings most people have. San Francisco, New York and Los Angeles, just to mention few cities, are out of control with homelessness and stores are leaving because of thieves taking whatever they want without being punished. Let’s not forget the price of gas and rents. Crime is higher but they are not accounted for. This country is looking more and more like a developing country in South America. Corruption, poverty and chaos everywhere.

The man who vowed to take Black history out of schools, not let students get advance credit for Black history courses. Now, if that didn't tell you what you need to know about what's going on here... you're talking about a man who took out a full page ad in The New York Times calling for the death penalty of five young Black people who were determined to be innocent. He never apologized for [it]. -Rep. Clyburn

This was a very interesting conversation. I loved Van Jones’ comment about the importance of voting. His message was ‘You may not get everything you want but you can sure lose what you have now’.

But why would we vote “defensively?” vote for the right man to do the job right.

Barkley is right about the every 4yrs but its also gettin these illegals out of the country!!! Need tougher laws on crimes as well!!! Im a black voter from Chicago Illinois so this topic resonates with me big time!!!

I have an idea , you could bring on the air a black conservative to give their opinion … but I guess that would not fit CNN’s narrative

I think a big issue with black voters is that we typically don't vote. We get a turn out for president every 4 years, but we never show up to the local governments and town halls. We don't participate. It's not a value or priority. The only way to better the black community is to actually have one. Yes we can cite the reasons for all of this but the fact remains. Also yes, the politicians only show up every 4 years making promises. Promises that don't help black communities on the micro scale. In the places that matter to the average black would be voter. For instance Biden's administration has done amazing for the country which in effect helped black Americans but food is still high for our low paying jobs. What these younger black voter need to understand is why. Did Democrats try to pass bills that would help black communities? Yes. And republicans shot it down. Democrats aren't saying "You have no control" they're just acknowledging that black communities have been used and abused for all of the US's history and are trying to put resources to correcting it. If the gaps between the Black and white population were fixed 20 years America's GDP would have grown by 6 trillion dollars. Republicans ignore these facts because it' doesn't help them stay in power. That power is dependant on fear and culture wars and that power is used to keep getting paid by corporations and lobbyist who want regulations as weak as possible to continue to abuse workers and people in general without having any liability. This is all documented stuff that doesn't require a leap in logic to conclude, Another thing about these young voters is they're uniformed. Theyre ignoring history and yes their news comes from social media. It's curated to give you an reaction. Theyre not going to a trusted institute full of people dedicated to bring you news of importance. I dated this young girl once who told me I was weird for having news notifications turn on on my phone. They prefer their news to be in short scrolling format and it has to grab their attention. So yes, a lot of them are uniformed. And they seem to ignore history, recent history at that. They forget all the times the republican party has voted against the numerous measures republicans have take to undermine any opportunity to help the black community, the number of loud and proud racists who hold office or support the office. A few practiced words that make you feel like "you control your destiny" from the mouth of a politician shouldn't make you forget empirical data. At the end of the day, the level of blatant corruption, action, discrimination, and painful lack of basic emotional, social, spiritual, and academic education makes it clear that black people or any people of non-white straight Christians origins will never have a real seat at that table. The Democrats might get a little extreme and annoying with the bleeding hearts, but its the one place where actual change can be made. Damn I didn't mean to write an essay.

CNN / Conspiracy News Network the most untrusted name in news

'you might not get what you want from voting. But you can definitely lose what you have by not voting'. bravo Van! That needs to be on billboards all over the country!

If you have a house that won't pass anything. And do you want things to get much worse?

This Black American cant wait to vote for President Trump again.

"Poor kids are just as smart as white kids" -- President Joe Biden

I only watched this for Coleman. He's awesome.

So the Law is treating the young black men of this country like the conman that never spent a day in jail & was corrupted all is life? SERIOUSLY!😡

Let’s get a couple of black ppl together and act like they represent all the black population

Charles Barkley is so out of place. Looks like the slow kid in class trying to keep up. He literally looks like that 💀

Coleman got his points across perfectly, without being interrupted or derailed. Great job 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

When a democrat is in office black people expect things just for them only. Not understanding the president can’t things for one group of people but can do things for all people that effect do include black people. The congress has the power to pass legislation that would help more black people. We need to elect better people to congress and not depend on a president to do things we need.

Trump is getting my black vote

This young man is a writer for CNN.

6:20 - When Trump was there for four years nothing got done as well... Same Under Obama, same under Bush. So maybe there is more to it than what the government alone can do.

What is wrong with you, America?

So Barkey gets to threaten people with harm of physical violence and doesn't get fired for it? Talk about double standard.

Love Coleman Hughes, hes a great young mind and definitely worth listening to

When you vote in November just ask yourself this....Who supports hormone blockers for kids? Men in women's sports? Who supports open borders? Which party brings the idea of race into everything? Are you paying more for utilities, rent, groceries, taxes, etc.?

Haha who didn't think van Jones was going to be offended!

All USA CITIZENS NEED TO PAY SERIOUS ATTENTION TO THIS ELECTION. THAT IS ALL AMERICANS WHO DO WE REALLY WANT TO LEAD THIS COUNTRY. We have to seriously look at legislation

I DON'T LIKE VAN JONES

Question. Why are US elections so lengthy? Probably in 2025, the news will already be focused on the 2028 presidential election. Damn Just stop talking about Trump. You guys should pass a law stating that election campaigns can only start a maximum of five months before election day.

Trump looks strong at his rallies because he's on speed.

you remember when van Jones cried over Joe biden winning??? lol

Van don't speak for or represent us

That’s a lie I don’t know what 30 years old black men he talking too they not that dumb trust me trump been like that for years

The 🤡 seems weak to me. I see no strength in him. His whole persona is weak.

Not voting for victimhood, not voting for rainbow, not voting for socialist mentality, not voting for feminism, not voting for BLM, not voting for matriarchy, not voting for DEI. Who am I voting for?

Van Jones “Mr. Whitelash” theory is simple. If you can’t explain why then blame the people and Russianbots

The young guy was trying to make them understand but they just don’t get it,

This is so cringe, CNN put 4 black people to talk about this subject just to fit in

Coleman Hughes is impressive. Well spoken & insightful. Hope to see more from his work.

Van I used to like you, you can have a seat now

*Joe Biden* _"I tell you what, if you have a problem figuring out whether you're for me or Trump, then you ain’t black."_

Charles, when you have cunning people such as Mc Connell, Graham, Scott, Greene, people that don't care about interest other than their own, you're going to have problems. The President should stand between the courts and the people, too me that's what a president should do. And to you're point I am quite a bit disappointed in Joe Biden's Proformance so far!! Thank you!! Mic'2024

It's NOT about AGE, it's about PERCEPTION....and unfortunately too many black voters "percieve" things wrong because we aren't ACTIVE PARTICIPANTS.

Van jones said something about police reform and voting rights. This is why I hate the media. Van jones didn’t explain why those things didn’t happen. They didn’t get those things because of the senate republicans and the house republicans.

You can’t fix stupidity.

State politics are important too! Off season (non-Presidential) voting are important too! Need learn that too! House and Senate need to be BLUE!

2:35 If Van Jones worked on drilling rigs, as a carpenter, on the police force, working among men in difficult situations, he would discover he would no longer get so easily offended. No offense to him intended.

The first guy who spoke I don’t agree with him about young blk men. The ones I know or spoken to including females are tired of this guy period. And the more they see of him or hear about him the more they want him to go away. Now that I agree with. This yr is my 2 youngest first time going to vote and they already said Biden was their choice.

Van Jones is a crybaby.

Because people see the negative rhetoric and hatefulness.

It's good to see Van Jones got his psychological degree. And he can assume that he knows exactly what Trump is thinking. Hmm!?

The statistics have never bared out a “dramatic shift” in black voters voting republican Men in general tend to vote more conservative, but black men are one of the smallest demographic of men to vote for him.

"Ms. Mary Trump the niece of former president Donald J. Trump stated: In her opinion, having known him, she believed he was not strong, it was all an illusion, but was actually really scared, and still throwing tantrums to get his way like he's always have." * (Paraphrased) Former president Trump allegedly stated: "I'm a bit of a P. T. Barnum I make stars out of everyone. Referring to his popular "You're Fired" television show. 📺

Trump 2024..Dems are done and dusted.

There’s a reason this has only 100k views.

Mexican Americans for Biden!

It’s stupidity

Loved the conversation between Van Jones and Coleman. It was a really insightful spar.

I agree with Van that social media is a factor.

Democrats need to take responsibility for their actions and stop putting the blame on everyone else.

Black men under 50 are moving to the republican. It is reckless that Van Jones think it is influenced by tiktok. Van Jones most blackmen are connecting to conservative values.

50 years of Black support for the DNC HAS never lead to any measurable improvements for them. Time for a change..

So NOBODY asked Van, why these acts didn't pass?? Come on panel!!

The fact that race is still discussed in 2000s is something suspicious and embarrassing

This show, and its topics, are so pedestrian and dull. I give this show less than 6 months of life - and I think that is generous.

Gayle and Chuck are just along for the ride in this conversation.

Coleman's book actually has a great argument. He's not a conservative saying "pick yourself up by your bootstraps", and he's not a woke-liberal saying "Help people of color no matter what and ignore poor whites." Instead, he's saying "Socioeconomic stats, like access to money, college, safety, education, etc., is the primary cause of injustice in society, so regardless of skin color, if your youth is being disadvantaged in that way, society should help, and if you're middle class or above, regardless of race, you should be expected to take care of yourself and be responsible for your own life." He's pointing out that a poor Appalachian white kid in rural West Virginia has A LOT more in common with a poor black kid from Baltimore, than either of them have in common with the wealthy, famous, connected black people on this CNN panel. Coleman Hughes and Van Jones sure as hell don't need "reparations". Coleman is saying, "Let's align social welfare with colorblind need, not race-based divisions". He couldn't be more correct.

I am 71 years old . I was offended by Trumps statement. Any black person who was not offended has no understanding of our past. He’s been sued for refusing to let blacks rent from him. He called a black woman a dog. He’s a very unqualified individual no matter what other garbage he carries.

The guy starts off I don't find it offensive he thinks all people that look like me our criminals. Seriously dude😂😂😂

As a fan of Charles Barkley and Coleman Hughes, I never thought I’d see them in the same room.

What does Isiah Thomas have to say about it?

RUBY FREEMAN AT THE J6 HEARING, I CRIED... POTUS NEEDS TO USE HER TESTIMONY TAPE

It not just blk men under 30. Alot of blk men of all ages are becoming more conservative in their politics, and its a good thing.
