By popular demand, we've published an extended 40 minute cut of this roundtable discussion. Check it out: kzbin.info/www/bejne/f4esoHZrh7SUfs0

You can’t spell democrats without “rats”.

[@macxavier168]

Because she doesn't believe that racism is ok?

[@Josh98031902]

And that’s why she’ll never accomplish anything significant in life in terms of hee career. It’s easy to blame whites. It’s always easy to point fingers. What makes the difference between successful people and unsuccessful people is the ability to be accountable for yourself. Little Jimmy isn’t responsible for your problems

[@macxavier168]

Ask yourself this then: why are there SO MANY successful black people fighting against racism and unfair treatment then? Where's their "victim mentality"?

[@Josh98031902]

Mac Xavier that’s what I’m saying. They don’t have a victim mentality. They got a winner mentality and are accountable for themselves rather than blindly pointing fingers such as the blonde girl in the video

[@valleycraftblades]

I’m not conservative or liberal but it’s easy to see who’s arguing from an emotional perspective and who’s arguing with a logical perspective.

[@bad-xtian7773]

@Hierophant. That is true but liberals also have some science deniers in their midst with the whole anti vaxxers.

[@zachswain2196]

@Hierophant how about the biology deniers?

[@gambu4810]

Hahaha. You are lying, you are clearly conservative man. You know deep down inside that liberals are the ones who are always emotional while Conservatives and republicans are usually thoughtful.

[@chrisb2668]

Hierophant. Bullshite! Being a skeptic isn’t being a denier. Most conservatives acknowledge climate change-climate has changed throughout history. The question is how big a role is human contribution to it, and what to do about it. The problem with the science is that too many have been caught fudging numbers and relying on exaggerated computer modeling. What’s even worse, is that just about every prediction based on computer modeling has failed to come to fruition. We are well past the markers when the UN and Al Gore said entire countries would be washed away by 20 feet of rising sea level. Even more ironic is that instead of hoards of starving people, CO2 has contributed to a significant greening of the globe, making once desolate regions capable of farming and agriculture. Maybe the reason this skepticism exist is because of the bullshite lies the Left has propagated in their effort to redistribute wealth and control the lives of everyone.

[@simoneharley2502]

I am the only one who read this post and assumed he was saying the conservatives were emotional...because technically both sides made factual statements but one side was clearly more aggressive than the other.

[@Everettescottortiz]

The guy in the blue sports coat exudes nothing but class. He’s a gentleman, also speaks truth, as well as honesty. Let’s face it, being conservative is just much more attractive.

[@alexkulka8578]

And he's attractive as hell!

[@barstool9156]

I honestly thought he was a liberal at first. He exudes class, and oftentimes, the more advanced a civilization is, the more "liberal" it becomes, as the human life can now focus on such things. That also works on a smaller scale with communities and people. The more of a High Life a person lives, the more likely that person is to be a liberal, but if you live out in the midwest and great plains where there is mostly farms, you will encounter more conservative views and people.

My husband grew up in Brooklyn and went to public school there; many of his friends were gang members and hustlers. He decided to join the military to leave that life... And he asks his friends to do the same... They all said they didn't want to join the military because they didn't like anyone screaming at them or telling them what to do.... Now they are still doing the same thing and hustling to survive... My husband now has a master's degree in Aerospace, and he holds an executive position in the company that he works for... So my point is: We all have the same opportunity to do what we want with our lives. No one is to blame for our choices but ourselves. So blaming it on a school or society is not going anywhere...

[@NomadA1]

I hear you and I did the same.. but no poor people should have to sign their life to the military for a fair shot. This proves there's a problem. You'll criticize those born in that lifestyle but not the ones draining our communities of resources, filling our communities with guns, and more..

@@NomadA1The point isn’t sign up for the military, sign your life away for a fair shot. It sounds like that individual was looking for something that could teach him discipline so he could learn how to thrive, you can learn that with having a job your committed to, work for that paycheck and stay disciplined so you can succeed. The point is to show that this individuals husband didn’t want to have the same life his friends chose, he found something that worked for him and put his mind to it. Others can do the same

Funny how blacks are even more against the wall than mexicans. Some sort of delusional dream of all the p.o.c's against the white man when in reality Hispanics becoming the 2nd largest minority simply puts blacks even lower in priority. How could you support bringing poor people from around the world to benefit from American prosperity when the majority of you yourself still haven't benefited.

@@HueyPPLong because the only reason you are a "natural" citizen is pure LUCK! That is if you are American, if you aren't , then this discussion doesn't pertain to you. And by luck I mean, as a zygote you didn't say "hmmmmm I wanna be born AMERICAN! "! Besides, the human race is persistent and that wall won't stop anyone who is determined enough to get here. And actually a lot of Mexicans are just using America as a pit stop on their way to Canada.

[@Reub3]

@@AKilahVamp Not really. There is growing trend that Mexicans are leaving USA and Canada. Its Central America that is coming in mass numbers. This is part of the reason why my people support the wall. We know that Central America is full of Real Socialists that progressives can't handle. Get ready for tax increases in Democrat strongholds. Keep increasing Real socialist latinos and you'll see blacks bump down the social justice hierarchy list even further. It boggles my mind seeing blacks try to equate themselves to my people. We are nothing alike and have noting in common. Don't put it past Latinos to use you and spit you out in order to get more benefits. #walkaway from the pinche demoniocrats.

Also dude said that u cant tell people not to read for 200 years then hand them a book... but slavery was abolished in 1865... by the Republican party.... and they've been doing reading, writing, math, etc... to help them learn for over 50 years that i know of.

@99whynot 99 um bro the first rule you learn in English is you can't call your opponent an idiot and get anything out of it. Second I'm guessing you feel that trump supporters are racist and violent yes? Can I point out a few examples to the contrary. A liberal professor was arrested after beating a kid over the head with a bike lock during a rally because he had a maga hat, the kid now has brain damage from it. A liberal politician said that areas with large amount of gun owners should be bombed. He literally suggested nuking US citizens. A Indiana university medical teacher wanted to "put down" white babies cause they "dont deserve their lives". She was fired. Point is there a racist and violent people on both side. Also has u read green new deal? It basically bans cars. You like walking and donkey carts? There's idiots on both sides too. You have AOC we got Alex Jones.

Additionally, you can just call them “conservatives.” Everyone in the video was black, so you didn’t really need to distinguish them from the white conservatives who weren’t present. “The Black Conservatives” isn’t the name of a distinct political party, and they aren’t their own species.

Maybe just maybe real conversation’s between all races could start to happen and come to the point where we realize that we do know and understand each other. I feel most of truly do know and can relate to each other. We are Americans that grew up together in America. Growing up in America for me color never mattered for me or my piers. Whites, blacks, browns, asians, mix was not a factor in the way we treated or viewed each other. I don’t know how all the sudden so many are acting like thats not how it was.
