BTW, HAPPY BIRTHDAY! I had the pleasure of meeting you in Birmingham and Berkeley and you are a national treasure--no, make that international treasure! Whatever accolades can be given to broadcast journalism, you deserve them all.

[@larryross1819]

What Gavin is peddling as "democracy" is totalitarianism in its worst form. What's frightening is that there are millions of voters throughout America who will lap up what he's selling. Why? Because they are democrat Zombie Voters; brain-dead people who do zero research and even less thinking before they vote. They get their news from CNN, MSNBC, TikTok and Facebook. They vote based on how they feel about a candidate instead of what they think about that candidate's positions. It's sad but true. California is full of them. Most California voters don't know how to think because most were never taught. California public schools stamp out individuality and individual thought from day one. They teach boys to be girls and girls to be boys. They teach hard and fast segregation by race ("diversity"), equal outcomes for everyone despite the fact that that is an impossible goal given individual abilities ("equity"), and exclusion unless you fall in lockstep with the approved mantra ("inclusion"). Unless your child precisely follows the state-sponsored curricula and toes the line every step of the way, he will be shut down and shut up. Creativity and free thinking are strictly not allowed. Your child certainly won't learn to read or write or do arithmetic (it's racist, remember). In fact, the California Department of Education celebrates that California students lost less ground than their peers in some other states. How can any adult think losing less than someone else is something to celebrate? It's something to investigate and work to solve. Unfortunately, the California Department of Education and teachers' unions could not care one speck about what the children under their control learn - unless, of course, it's the aforementioned gender-bending and DIE. Long after the worst of the pandemic passed, the California Teachers Association pressured democrat Newsom to keep schools closed - and he capitulated. Johnny and Janie can't read because they lost two years of school? That's too bad. Children from California public schools are by and large the people who keep California deep blue. They show up at the polls and vote for candidates without knowing one single thing about them or giving one instant's thought to what that person will mean for them or their future. These are the people sissy Gavin and the democrat party are counting on to rid the country of conservatives and red-blooded American patriots !@!@!

[@grapeshot]

Of course there's always been gun control laws but they were enforced exclusively toward black people and often times Native Americans. We seen this right after the Civil War during Reconstruction. They felt that black people had no rights including the right of self-defense. Which is a natural right.

[@S1D3W1ND3R015]

Gun control is rooted in racism. That's the irony in all this. Whether it was towards the natives or towards newly freed slaves. Gun control is historically and inherently racist.

[@juratory8876]

Even with some of today's open carry laws, Black people are still penalized for carrying a firearm.

[@poppypottschannel]

thats a goddamned LIE

[@1s23d]

I'm glad you said that I'm black and this flies right over liberals heads everytime. Ask a Ukrainian if the second amendment still matters. Black people in America have the right to self defense just like any other group of people. This lady wants black people to stay in a perpetual state of victimhood so she can continue to write books about it.

[@modestmouse2889]

THAT IS EXACTLY THE REASON black people must NEVER DISARM.

[@warrinbang1191]

An assault weapon is a specialized type of weapon designed for military combat. Advocates for this weapon intend to use it for that purpose. When the battlefield is on American soil, who's the enemy?

[@roblopez8481]

Assault weapon is a made up political term that started being used in the late 80s early 90s. The ar15 and the rugger mini 14 ranch rifle are both chambered in .223, both can use 30+ round magazines and both are semiautomatic but nobody considers the mini14 an assault weapon because it's made of wood and metal instead of scary black plastic and doesn't have a pistol grip. The 1994 assault weapons ban banned firearms based off cosmetic features like pistol grips, vertical forward grips and adjustable/folding stocks

[@willmont8258]

And the AR-15 is the militia rifle which is protected by the 2nd.

[@poppypottschannel]

I dont know I would think if whites want to kill blacks we should just put more fentenyl in their drug bags

[@lesslycarthan956]

I don't get how history tells this every day every hour every minute and still gets a question mark I just mute commercials turn the t.v. off and put in a 70s movie.

Right now count the white males by channel surfing and he only makes up 17% of Americans so it's not capitalism market strategy it's white male control he's losing to 52% white females and 18% colored and he's having a cow

[@roen6800]

A theocracy? What are you on about? As an Eschatological Theocrat, I recognize that there will be no true theocracy until the return of the Son of Man when He rides upon the clouds of heaven and restructures the cosmos. Is this happening right now? Certainly not; but there is a war of ideologies going on. One the one side, you have a bunch of fatuous wokery with Marxist underpinnings that seeks to reduce society to the oppressor vs. the oppressed; and on the other side, you have unwavering right-winged ideologues who aren't willing to recognize that there is any degree of truth in the grievances of Woke ideologues. I think both Left and Right ideologues are nuts, and that we need a Third Way, a Via Tertia that will cut through this seemingly ubiquitous madness that we're witnessing all around us.

Dearest Amy and Carol: Interesting to me that Carol stated: "Black people believed in America when America did not believe in them!" I am a Canadian old enough to attest to that myself! I met a wonderful African-American couple in the early 80s in Mexico and I said to them: Why are you staying in your state when you're not treated right? Why not move to Canada? They both responded: "Because we believe in our Nation getting better, and truly becoming a beacon of liberty!

As a black women, you should stop the tribal virtue signaling, learn some of your history from someone who isn't a professional race grifter & pick up a BIBLE. Brainwashed/self-hating black women are choosing to kill more unborn, than are giving birth, in states like NY, as a form of birth control, to evade accountability for being sexual deviants, while behaving like toxic middle-aged men from the 1980's, the men think that they're women, and advocate to allow the state the power to groom & sexually mutilate children. The " good professor's" party will bankrupt the country to protect a border 6000 miles away, while child smugglers, sex traffickers & drugs pour in across the U.S. border, her party made slavery, KKK & segregation an institution before Republicans fixed those with the 13th amendment & the civil rights movement. Those states recently used ACTUAL TEXTBOOK FASCISM by incentivizing businesses to coerce citizens into taking experimental/harmful injections (My body/My choice?!). All the while, disingenuous climate zealots worship God's creation (the environment), more than human life that He created to have DOMINION over this good green earth...

@@alvinmartine1470 huh?

[@jayleeds2006]

@@alvinmartine1470 It's not racial. This is an attempt to make something racial that is not racial. The 2nd Amendment was not about suppressing or "putting down" slave revolts- at least not primarily or specifically. The 2nd amendment was written because we didn't have police officers or a military to protect us against the British. So everyone had to protect themselves, against whatever, including the British monarchy or a potentially tyrannical U.S. government. Yes, guns were used against slaves occasionally, but the 2nd amendment was not written to be anti-black. If anything it was intended to be anti-British. Slaves were property. Slave owners didn't want to kill or damage their own property. So slaves were whipped and beaten, to break their spirit and get them to conform and obey. But it did not make sense financially for a slave owner to have guns for the purpose of killing, destroying or injuring his own property. Slaves were property. Like cows and other livestock. Slaves were assets, and a source of primary income for some white families. To say the 2nd Amendment is anti-black is like saying the 2nd Amendment was anti-cow, anti-chicken, anti-wagon or anti-cotton. It's ridiculous. Guns and the 2nd amendment were not anti-black. Don't let this divisive race talk confuse you or turn you against white/black people or any racial group. We are all human beings. Race, racial identity, is not important at all. These days race is being used to divide and conquer. We have to stay unified as a people. We have to protect each other. 2nd amendment was originally intended to empower Americans to protect themselves.

@ 10:50, thank you, Amy, for catching your reference to African American History and restating it as AMERICAN HISTORY, which it is. There is no "roping it off," "subscripting it," or "ghettoizing it". There would be no American History without the presence or contributions of African descendants. Within three generations, this nation's GDP rivaled that of any country in the world, including Britain, France, Russia, China, or India, countries whose presence spanned centuries to millennia. And that was only possible with slave labor exporting cash crops that capitalized banks from Boston to New Orleans. The attack on libraries now that would tell this truth is analogous to local governments pouring cement into public swimming pools in the 1950s after courts ruling that they had to be integrated, preferring to shut them down than to comply. The battlefield is different, but the battle is the same.

Hogwash

[@donald2665]

What Ridiculous propaganda! This person, and the moderator directing this Propaganda exercise, is living in an alternate reality. Anti-Blackness has absolutely nothing to do with the supposed "gun culture" in the US. There are plenty of Americans of all walks of life, races and creeds who own firearms under the 2nd Amendment and Bill of Rights.

Only to a hog, would the truth be hogwash. Whitewashing has created and caused such a stink, that still is prevalent today, stiil stanking. Typical demon seed response, hiding behind the facade of superiority. Ignorance is truly bliss. The rooster has come home to roost, heathens. It is written. Psalm 83 and the book of Obadiah, are among many that are prophesied. Only to the so-called christians, it's in theBible, to non-believers, all is well. We all are free to believe or not.

Gerrymandering is a serious threat.... Ironically, Tennessee is a microcosm of the country. The majority of the country lives in the cities and suburbs, but the rural areas rule. The electoral college must go and Gerrymandering too!!!

Put the bullies in their place instead.

Grow up

*thank you*! People really need to learn American history, it is more relevant now than ever. If we ever want to achieve the American Dream of equality and democracy, we must eradicate inequalit and racism from our systems and heirarchies and bring them in line with our values as a people, united.

[@robertaprice6263]

THANK YOU for your bravery; your SHARING knowledge-I love you!!!

[@lukasandisaaktime9147]

What a beautiful, strong and intelligent woman Carol Anderson is! I feel she is doing God's work - fairness, equality, lifting others up, etc.... God Bless Ms. Anderson and her work and family.

[@LauryDepp]

I want to watch that documentary. I hope you put it for free in many platforms. So I can watch it. Because in this country one of the problems is knowledge. People don't have access to knowledge except they pay. And this is the reason why Universities should be for Free and knowledge should be to anyone who want to hear.

[@marohan]

Everything should be free. Ps5 should be free 2

When the NRA didn't defend The Black Panther's right to bear arms that told the world all it needed to know about U.S gun culture.

[@leonturner9752]

Glad somebody's finally saying it!!! Because it's so true, it can't be denied anymore!!!

[@ndeamonk24]

It can't. Their narrative has expired

I support ridding ALL legacies of the Confederacy to include the Greatest Legacy of the Confederacy that continually reminds us of the Confederacy, the inventors of the Confederacy, the Democratic Party!

[@dianal.clausen8118]

Excellent, thank you.

[@lillieholmes4521]

I love Carol Anderson for giving us insight on how WS works….I love how she express herself, when she is telling a story.

[@michellejackson2995]

An exceptional program with Dr. Carol Anderson. Thank you The true history shows who is really the violence maker. And, that’s why they don’t want to teach it.

[@jamesmarchetti3286]

What an amazing and fantastic Video !!! As a white Christian all of this this happening has become quite obvious !!!

[@SupreniaBynum-cu9sq]

True Thank you for that knowledge 😂

No.

Sowell is little more than Jesse Lee Peterson with a better vocabulary.

[@thirstnhowliv9740]

@@vermithrax7796 - and Anderson is little more than Al Sharpton with lipstick... Maybe that's why you Godless reprobates get off listening to her.

[@bethstrenkoski2311]

DeSantos is very much running mostly as Anti- Poor people! Hating Poverty and the poor; Seeing himself and his rich elitist friends as better, “smarter”, etc. All that imperial thinking keeps him on his competitive, deluded path of greed and hatred towards most people. People in Poverty, People who are”different”, scare the heck out of him. Thank you for your insightful book and hard work. I plan to watch the movie!
